While the police department has
two negro women in Jail in connection
with the murder of Claud Miller early
Sunday morning are positive that
they have the name of the man who
really stabbed the fisherman to
death but all efforts to locate him
since the crime was committed have
failed yet it is not believed that he
has left the city as yet but will prob
ably get out at the first opportunity
in many cases where negroes have
got into serious scrapes they hide
right in the city for several days be-
for making their getaway and the
police department is of the opinion
that this is just what the slayer of
Miller is doing.
The women in Jail, the department
thinks, know a great deal more about
the killing than they will tell but
they will probably Yet out something
when they get the third degree"
which will be some time today.

The Santiago was enroute to Pensa-

ESTES MOORE, COLORED,
is CUT IN MANY PLACES

In a general fight Sunday Estes
Moore, a we'll known negro was cut
to such an extent that his recovery
is considered doubtful. From what
can be learned there seems to have
been a general fight in house on
the lower end of Bay street in which
several received wounds but none
serious except Moores. The police
know who cut him
Moore is well known in police cir
cles and has served terms on coun-
ty gang on more than one occasion.
He is badly crippled but this does
not seem to prevent him getting in
to trouble very often.
