Jones' DID NOT
give himself UP
Negro Murderer Who Was
Arrested Run Down BY
Chief Stewart
DESCRIPTION USED
Suys lie Has Been Travelling in Sew.
ernI States Since killing
Merritt Here.

Sam Jones, the negro who shot
VIII Merritt. from the effects of
which Merritt died one week later
and who was brought to this city
Thursday morning by Chief Stewart
from Brinkley and lodged in Jail. will
have u hearing before Magistrate J.
A. Frazier on Saturday. The charge
against Jones is first degree murder.
The capture of jones was due to
the systematic work of Chief Of
Police Stewart, who sent out full
description of the negro Immediately
after the shooting, to all towns of any
size in this and adjoining states, and
it was this description that led the
city marshal of Brinkley to believe
| that a negro arrested in that city by
the night marshal for proving was
Jones. He wired Chief Stewart that
he had a negro who answered the de-
! scriptiOn of Jones, but that he had
questioned the negro closely and that
the prisoner denied ever having been
! in Pine Bluff, but claimed that Ac
was from Mississippi. Chief Stewart
wired the Brinkley official that he
would come to that city on the next
train, and taking a photograph Of
| Jones, which Assistant Chief F'iveash
secured at the home of the negro on
the night the shooting occurred, i'm
mediately went to Brnkley and
identified Jones. e..pz --5,
The mayor OF Brinkley had fined
Jones $40 for proving and the street
commissioner was in the act of plac-
ing Jones at work on the streets
when the Chief arrived. The fine of
$40 was RENTED by the Mayor and
the prisoner turned over to the local
officer.
Jones says that he went from Pine
Bluff to Texarkana after the shoot
ing, thence into Louisiana, then to
Greenville, Mississippi, where he
1
heard that Merritt was dead. He then
went to Little Rock, and from that
city to Newport, where he called on
Aunt Caroline an old negress who
is noted among the negroes of the
state for her ability In fortune tell
ing. Jones says that Aunt Caroline"
told him that his wife was not going
to do him any harm in her testimony,
but that two other negroes were
going to testify strongly against him,
He then went to Clarendon to visit
his mother and it was just after
leaving that place that he WA
captured in Brinkley by the nigh,
marshal, who had no idea that the
negro was wanted for the crime OF
murder, but considered him sus-
picious character from his acts Of
proving about the streets and alleys
in Brinkley, and for which he was
arrested. Jones says he had no In.
tention of surrendering and felt
secure at all times, even when arrest
ed in Brinkley.

Albany, Aug. 1.-THE Empire State
today found itself in the unprecedent-
ed position of having two governors
each claiming full power and each
holding the fort" in Albany's mag
nfice2t capital. The first days of
the double tenure of office passed
quietly, however, without even a
threat of the bloodshed that had been
predicted if William Sulzer should
attempt to maintain his rights with
force.
SRumors that Sulzer would have the
aid of the state militia, if he decided
to use force, receiving their quietus
this afternoon when Adjutant Gener-
al Hamilton, head of the New York
National Guard, gave full recognition
to the claims of Martin H. Gly2n as
acting governor.
Glynn now has under his control
the military and financial department
of the state government, which
strongly entrenched him in his posi-
ton. Mitchell May, secretary of
state, notified Mr.. Glynn late this
afternoon that he would recognize
him as the defacto governor and
would give him access to the great
seal of the state. He also sent word
that he would refuse use of the seal
to Sulzer.
With these developments slowly
bringing order out of chaos and de-
moralization that prevailed as soon
as the impeachment proceedings were
brought against Mr.. Sulzer, Mr.. Glynn
began the planning of steps to esta3-
lish his right and power as COVER
nor. Late in the day he hald a con-
ference with attorneys. The plan of
action decided upon was not an
nounced at the termination of the
conference, but it was learned that
Glynn would probably try to GUST
1t was rumored that he would se-
cure a court order that would COM
pei Sulzer to end his fight for con-
troll.
The relations between this state and
her sisters are disrupted as we'll as
those existing between the two COVER
nors and the war department OF thu
government.
Governor Sulzer is holding the
fort in the executive chamber with
staff of executive clerks, while
Acting Governor Glynn is governing
from the office of the lieutenant
governor on the third floor, using
his own staff of clerks.
The acting governor has all the
better of the situation as it applies
to the state departments. First and
foremost he has behind him the
comptroller who handles the cash.
and cash is a big factor. Deputy
Comptroller Walsh, who is in charge
of the office during the absence be-
cause of illness OF Comptroller
Sohner, does not recognize the au-
thority of Governor Sulzer to author
