NEGRO IS CAUGHT
Jake Hightower, Who Killed
Arthur C. Run, Is Captured.
Is Rushed to Penitentiary to
Prevent a Lynching.

Jake Hightower, negro, who shot
and killed Arthur c. Ruff. 1915 North
Harrison street, and beat and wounded
Roy Ward, sos North Harrison street,
at the Mutual ice plant Saturday
morning, was safely within the walls
of the state penitentiary at Lansing
today.
Hightower was captured about 9
O'Clock Saturday night by K. K. Pink
ston, negro patrolman, at the home
of Joe Holman. 935 North Topeka
avenue. Pinkston had been placed on
guard at the Holman homes Holman
is Hightower's father-in-law, and had
brought the murderer's wife to his
home after the killing. Hightower
returned to Holman's house probably
to see his wife about 9 O'Clock. AS
he knocked at the door Pinkston
stepped up and pressed the nuzzle of
his revolver against the murderer's
back. Hightower surrendered and
Pinkston relieved him of a 40 raliber
revolver, with which he had done the
shooting.
