of the negroes received a bullet. They
dropped their valises as they ran

detectives. They contained only bot
ties half filled with whiskey.
Detective Farley accompanied his
wounded brother officer to the hospital
in Petersburg. then telephoned to

sent to take up the trail of the fugi-
tives. Sheriff Mercer referred him TO
