IS 1T THE LONG
LOOKED FOR RICH
ARD WALLACE?

Fitzgeraldites still remember the
murder of the call boy of the A. b.
and A. about eight or nine years ago
at the depot, and for whose murder
Richard Wallace was indicted at the
time, but never Appreciated. Several
years later Sheriff Fountain was ad-
vised by officers of Columbia. S. c.,
that negro corresponding to the
description sent out for Wallace was
in their custody and the Sheriff went
alter his alleged prisoner and thought
he identified him as the negro wanted
in Ben Hill county. A second indict-
ment was secured this time for EN-
anuel Ford, the name under which the
prisoner was known and whom a num-
Der of local witnesses are said to have
recognized as being the negro wanted
for the murder.
At the trial Ford was found guilty
and sentenced to be hung on January
18th following, but secured a new trial
when Engiener Nance. of the A. B
ID A., and Yardmaster Patton. of the
sa2entral Railroad at Hmericus, iden-
fitted Ford as being FORD and not
! Wallace. and that Ford was in the
employ of the Central road when the
murder was committed here.
On his second trial he was given his
liberty, his alleged connection with
the murder being entirely disproven
Attorney Mcdonald and Teal repres-
ented the negro at the second trial
Wallace was never arrested and it is
supposed he escaped to Boston and
shipped as a stoker on some ship. The
death of the negro in English waters
was reported in recent cable dispatch
es and it was the first time that local
people learned OF his whereabouts.
