terday, at Glendora by United States
Deputy Marshal Walt for sending
threatening letters through the mail

past three weeks. Several DAYS ago
the 'blackhander" mailed a letter to
). M. Jones, planter, demanding 500

was deposited under a certain barrel
in a building next to the Y. & NJ. V.
depot by certain period death would
De the result. Mr.. Jones, it is said.
paid no attention to the letter, but
happened to go into the building for
something and the negro saw him
and as a result Mr.. Jones received
second letter, informing him that "it
was better to be a live hero than a
dead wise man and that unless the
money was deposited under a barrel
marked X with piece of white chalk
by Sunday night, May 8, he would be
dead duck"
Mr.. Jones decided to try and trap
the sender of the letter on receipt of
the second one and deposited the
money under the barrel as directed,
but stationed two men in the building
to await the arrival of the negro. At
the specified time Jackson walked
into into the building and went to
the barrel but was promptly summon
ed by the men stationed there to sur |
render, which he did without offering
any resistance. Marshall Walt was
notified and yesterday went to Glen
dora after the negro, returning to the |
city last night. Jackson was arraign- |
ed before United States Commissioner
w. G. Landers this morning, waived |
examination and was remanded to Jail |
N default of $500 bail to await the ac-
ion of the federal grand jury at the

day an unknown negro man was found
dead at Sandy Bottom by J. Hart, Sec
ton foreman of the Y. & NJ. V. rail-
oadr. Activity of the buZZards in the

ing from some disease and said that
he was on his way to the hospital
here. When found he did not have a

clothes up to dry after a rain.

The information was obtained from

The information was obtained from
two eye witnesses to the dead, Aisle
Boyd and Virgie Sistrunk. Deputy
Blount at once called the sheriff of
that parish at Greensburg, La, asking
if he had heard anything concerning
the murder. Upon the sheriff reply
ing in the negative, Mr.. Blount got
busy, together with Chief Deputy
Charles Reeves of that parish and
went to Sartinsville, in Walthall,
Miss, located the two men who con-
fessed to the whole business. They
said that Claude Holmes, white man
40 years of age, had committed the
deed, and later forced another young
man Ed Foster, to assist in buryfng
the body in the woods, warning the
man that should he at any time di-
vulge the killing he would share a
like fate. The two deputies were
taken to the scene of the crime and
had the grave pointed out to them. At
) o'clock yesterday the grave was
opened, the body identified and the
coroner's jury found a bill of murder
against Claude Holmes, who was aft
erwards arrested at Kentwood, La,
and taken to the parish prison at New
Orleans for safe keeping The price
of the old mans life proved to be a
small sum of money, watch and the
shoes he wore at the time of the kill
ing. Holmes wife was a niece of the
old man, and the murder took place
while he was on a visit to her.
