JOHN BRADHAM IS
ARRESTED IN WAYNE
Young Man Who Snapped Pis-
tol in Officer: Free'r,an's Face
and Escaped is in Jail With
Two Charges Against Him.

John Brabham was placed in the
arrival of the Southern train, ON
which he was brought to Brunswick
in charge of Constable S. D. Lamb,
following his arrest about sixteen
miles from Jesup yesterday on two
indictments returned at the recent
term of the Glynn superior court
against him for having whiskey in his
possession and assault with intent to
murder
Since the alleged offenses with
which he is charged, Brabham has
not been seen, it is claimed, in this
vicinity, and his arrest yesterday was
brought about by information that
Brabham was frequently seen in the
community in which he was located
yesterday by Constable Lamb. The
accused man made no effort to con-
ceal his identity or to avoid arrest.
which he complacently submitted to
when confronted by the officer.
1t will be recalled that Brabham fig
ured in a sensational escape from
Chief Norris and County officer Free
man about ten days ago in dense
wood several miles from Brunswick,
just before daybreak. Intercepted by
the officers as they were emerging
from swamp with a jug of whiskey,
Brabham and a companion were re-
quested to throw up their hands. In
stead, the former is alleged to have
placed pistol which he had in his
hand, against the breast of Officer
Freeman, pulling the trigger a num-
Der of times. The weapon failed to
fire. The officer then fired his own
pistol, at close range, at his assailant,
who fell back into a clump of bushes
as though mortally wounded. Both
men escaped rom the officers after an
exciting chase after the other man
followed.
The grand jury returned indict-
ments against Brabnam on two
counts, one with having whiskey in
his possession, the other with assault
with intent to murder
