OFFICERS CHASE
NEGRO MURDERER
Trace Man Into MOnOngalia
County But He Evades
Arrest.

Bending every effort to apprehend
Ed Whi,echild, a negro, who shot and
killed Sylvester Nicely, another negro,
Sheriff A. NJ Glover and Prosecuting
Attorney Walter r. Haggerty made
spirited trip to Monongalia county and
picked up two suspects yesterday aft
ernoon. Today the suspect held In the
county Jail was ordered released. The
peculiar part about it E7as that both
men arrested answered Whitechild's
description somewhat. Only one OF
The men was brought into FairmOnt.
Thus far Whitechild has made good
his escape.
The shooting occurred at Riyesville
yesterday afternoon at o'clock. The
officers followed Whitechild to Ar
nettsville, Monongalia county, this be-
inC 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. Sheriff
Glover and Prosecuting Attorney Hag'
gerty learned that their man was walk
ing on the road at that point just an
hour earlier. They then went into
GEORGETOWN. Down the road a piece
they were told by a crowd Of boys that
the cnlored man was walking. II was
later found some person in a passing
automobile told the colored man that
he could get into his machine. The
officers believe that the man was car
ried to MorgantOwn. They, however,
continued their search into Morgan
Town and Point Marion, picking up the
two suspects.
1t Is said Whitechild was infatuated
with Lizzie Lewis, negress, who was
living as the common law wife OF
Neely. Just before Nicely was shot he
said to Whitechild. Il hear you are
/ toting a gun for me- Immediately
afterwards Whitechild fired his revolt
yer an6 the bullet struck Nicely in the
skull the brains being scattered on the
| floor
Nicely was divorced and had been
living for some time with the Lewis
woman. Both men became jealous
over the woman and Whitechild told
a number of people that he intended
20 kill Nicely. When they met in the
kitchen OF Neely's home yesterday the
shooting occurred.
