CHARGES AGAINST
R|CH7ON OFFICERS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILL REP.
RESENT STATE AT PRELlMI-
NARY TRIAL TODAY.

District Attorney R. S. Hall left Sun
day night for Richton for the purpose
of looking after the prosecution at the
preliminary hearing to be held there
today of Town Marshall A. W. Ezell
and Constable w. L. Dunnam, who
were arrested Saturday on four affi-
davits against each officer charging
extortion, prepared by the district at
torney. The affidavits were sworn to
by Hardee Stevens, a merchant and
banker of Richton. who is also a mem
Der of the town council which instituted
the investigation into the more than
twenty cases in which, it is alleged
that official extortion has been prac-
ticed by the accused who, it is claim
ed, selected negroes who had been
either accused or tried for some minor
offense from whom to extort money.
Having been advised that it was
feared that the negroes who were
known to be state witnesses against
the two officers would be frightened
away, the district attorney requested
the sheriff Of Perry county to have
his deputy at Richton to take each of
the negro state witnesses in custody
as theyawere subpoened, and to hold
them under guard until the time for
the premilinary trial today. The in
structions of the states attorney were
followed and fully twenty-five negroes
were thus detained after being sum
moned for the state.
Mr.. Hall, in speaking of this species
of crime, said it is all too common in
his district and he intends to use all
the power of his office in an effort to
break it up He says that public senti-
ment should frown down this debasing
crime, and where cases come to the at
tention of good citizens, in which it
| is known that some officer has taken
! advantage of helpless negro, the mat
ter should be called to his attention
or that Of the grand Jury when it con-
venes. The greatest difficulty the
grand juries. and the officers encoun-
ter in getting indictments and ulti-
mate conviction in such cases, is the
fear which is created by those who
resort to extortion of negroes in order
to intimidate and keep their victims
from appearing in court.

RECOVER BULK
OF sum STOLEN
BANK OF LoGANSPoRT, La, is
OUT ONLY TWO DOLLARS ON
RECENT HOLD-UP.

Logansport, La, Feb. 2-The recov-
cry of the bulk of the money stolen
from the Bank of Logansport Friday,
and the discovery that w. G. Cole,
and not ]. N. Johnson, was the direct
ing force back of the theft, were the
developments Sunday in one of the
most sensational robberies in the his
tory of this section.
Bank Cashier Smith Price identified
Cole as the man who two weeks ago
borrowed SIS from the Bank of Logans-
port. 1t subsequently developed that
Cole used the money to go to Dallas,
Tex. where, IT is stated, he enlisted
the services of Johnson to aid in rob-
bling the bank.
A search in the neighborhood of Joa-
quin, La, the home of Cole, led to the
finding of $3.50 in sack concealed in
a clump of bushes. This was $40 less
than the amount stolen from the bank,
and $6S was found in Johnsons peck
! cts when he was taken into custody.
The banks monetary loss is only 81
The search leading to the recovery
of the money was prompted by dia-
gram found on Cole when arrested. A
number of citizens, headed by Cashier
Price and Detective Bnehler, made the
discovery.
The Logansport bank was robbed
shortly after IL O'Clock Friday. Two
men entered the building, covered
! Cashier Smith and his assistant, forced
them into the bank vault, and locked
them inside. Friday evening the two
suspects. who are now charged with
the theft of nearly $4,000 from the
bank, were arrested.
