AUSTIN Caught BY
POSSE; is WOUNDED
Capture Takes Place Seven
Miles From NeWingtOn

Newington, May 2S,-Henry Austin,
slayer of DR.. S. c. Moore, Magistrate
Edenfield and Victor Bowers, was cap
tured at dusk last night near the res
idence of Marvin Giles, seven miles
above Newington.
The negro did not surrender without
resistance and was shot down by a
member of the posse making the arrest
which was headed by Sheriff Morris, Ct
Lincoln county, South Carolina. To-
night he lies desperately wounded anu
his life is destaired of. Should his
prisoner be able to travel Sheriff Nor
ris will start for South Carolina with
his man tomorrow.
For days Austin has been skulking
IN the Savannah river swamps, fed and
aided by members of his own race. Fo:
several days past the relentless hand
Of the law has been closing in on him,
slowly, but surely, until it became but
a question of time before the black
found himself a prisoner of the repre-
sentatives of that government he has
defied and whose officers he shot down.
Yesterday morning Austin was seen
to skulk up the river and the vigilant
posse soon was in pursuit Austin for,
merly worked for Mr. Giles, and it is
thought he went that way, being IN
hopes of obtaining food or shelter. Fa-
miliar with the ground, he evaded his
pursuers all day. but at dusk Sheriff
Morris and a member of the posse
came suddenly upon their man. A gun
spoke and Austin dropped. The long
chase was ended.
Austin will be taken to Savannah in
the morning. He was shot three times
in the breast and stomach His con-
dition is desperate, but Sheriff Morris,
of Hampton county, s. c., hopes to land
his man safely on South Carolina soil
alive. Austin was shot by Sheriff MOI
ris and officer Stavender, of the Hama-
ton posse. Knowing the desperate
character of their man, Sheriff Morris
and Officer Stavender took no chances
and opened fire on him as soon as he
came in sight. He was shot in the road
as he was approaching Mr.. Giles

CALL FOR INVESTIGATION
OF ATLANTA AFFAIRS
"Turn ON The Light Is The Cry OF
The journal.

Atlanta, May 2S.-1Turn on the
light" says the Atlanta Journal in z
leading editorial today, voicing what
seems to be common sentiment, in
demanding that thorough investiga-
ton of the charges and counter eharg-
es in connection with the police sys-
tenn be made by the grand jury.
This is due the people of Allan
ia, the people of Fulton county and
the people of Georgia. says the Jour
nal, for the good repute OF the coun-
ty and the state as we'll as of the city
is concerned. Echoes of these charges
are going broadcast over the coun-
try"
When a private citizen has been
charged with attempting to bride pJ-
lice official, and when the police off,
Gals are charged with protecting vice
and crime, the public, it is argued, has
d right to demand somebody's goat
If either the charges or the counter
charges are true, somebody ought /

true, somebody ought at least to be

LIFE OF MARINE TO BE
SHOWN In THE "MOYIES"

Something which has never been done
before in Birmingham viii be done tomor-
row when Capt. Thomas f. Lyons, re-
eruitng officer commanding the southern
district, will bring to Birmingham 1000 feet
of moving picture film which will be
shown at the Vaudette theatre tomor-
row from 10 o'clock a, IN. until 10 o clock
p. m. under the auspices of the United
States government
The pictures were made by the govern
ment at considerable expense. They show
the life of marine from the time he
applies at the recruiting office for enlist
ment until he is a finished soldier of the
sea- and promoted to sergeant. The
drills, exercises, recreations and the la
bors as we'll will be shown. No attempT
has been made by the government to gloss
over any part of the life of marine
which is disagreeabe as it is the purpose
of the picture to show just what the life
is. The picture is not being put on merely
for advertisement. it is said, but to show
those who are skeptical or prejudiced just
what marine does.
Marine corps literature will be dis
| tributed at the exit of the theatre for
| those who may be interested.

resolution providing temporary
regulations to meet conditions brought
about by the annual Christmas celebra-

ing that it would be enforced to the

OUTGROWTH OF NUMEROUS
RUMORS HEARD RECENTLY

The resolution is the outgrowth of the
continued rumors and reports on the
streets and everywhere where citizens
meet to the effect that the character
and ability of some members of the police
and detective departments are not what
they ought to be. President Ward states
this sort of sentiment among the public
ruins any efficiency which might other
wise exist in any department and that
this investigation is intended either to get
rid of the men who are the cause of this
public sentiment and rumor or else make
them prove their charges.
President Ward introduced the resolu-
tion yesterday, but owing to the fact that
Commissioner A. o. Lane. in charge of
the police department. has a private in
vestigation going on at the present time
into charges which have been preferred
against Lieutenant of Detectives STREET.,
the judge asked that the resolution be
passed until Friday SO that he might have
time to receive answers to letters which
he has written in an effort to substan-
tiate evidence. President Ward seconded
this resolution and it was unanimously
sdopted
