Executive, as previously announced,
and $40 by Sheriff S. H. Bagnell

the slain man. The balance by local

In the meantime, the Copiah
County Sheriff expressed som.
doubt as to the letter, received last
week by Governor Johnson, having
been written by Catchings, but sais
that it was likely ruse TO throw
the officers off the trail of the
slayer, who he believed was still
hiding somewhere in the county
near relatives and friends. The
sheriff said that a close watch was
being kept throughout the county.
