Cole Palmer, the negro barber and
blind tiger, who early Saturday morn
ing shot and killed Mr.. Mitchell John
ston, deputy marshal Of Winona. in
that city, and escaped. has been cap
tured and is now in the Kinds County
jail at Jackson, where he was sent
IRON here Sunday for safe keeping.
lie was captured at Winona Saturday
night after having laid out all day in
a ditch, and was brought to Green
wood secretly and placed in the county
Jail here.
Feeling at Winona was high
against Palmer and determined effort
was exerted by the citizens Of the
town to locate the negro. 1t is prob
able that lynching would have re-
suited had he been caught by them.
1t is understood that Palmer sent
for his lawyer, while hiding in the
ditch Saturday and his lawyer took
the city marshal with him, who made
the arrest without any trouble. The
citizenry Of Winona did not know Pal.
mer had been captured until he was
safe in jail here.
The correct version of the trouble
Saturday morning, the result of which
was the death of Johnston, was as
follows: Palmer was drunk. john
ston visited his place on Beale street,
a negro dive section in Winona, and
attempted to drive him home, but
failed. Johnston was later disarmed
by some Of his friends to prevent
trouble, but regardless Of being un-
armed he returned to Palmer's place.
Palmer snapped his pistol in Mr.. John
ston's face, who turned and left, re-
turning in a few minutes for the third
