GID POPE'S SLAYER
Strong Evid oca Has Developed Against
Jeff Mix of Tbis City.
NIX ELUDED OFFICERS’ YESTERDAY
Leaped From the Second SC«»ry of th* Rome
Cottu’i Factory—l'urfued By The
Hounds—Will Be Caught
The officers believe that they have
at last unearthed the man who killed
Gideon Pope, the uptown colored
merchant.
They have been quietly at work on
the case ever since the crime was
committed, and yesterday the evi
dence at hand was sufficient to war
rant them in attempting the arrest of
Jeff Nix.
Nix is a white man and has been
employed at the Rome cotton factory.
Yesterday morning about 10 o’clock
Bailiff Ben White and Policeman
Mulkey went to the factory to arrest
their man.
Nix was at work in the second story
of the building and when he saw the
officers, made a running leap out of a
window. He jumped from a rear
window where the building juts up
against the hill, so his leap to the
ground was only a short distance.
Nix proved fleet-footed and soon
disappeared. The officers returned to
the city and the bloodhounds were tak
en out and placed on the trail. They
trailed him up through the brick yard
and to the river bank, where a fish
trap is built across the river. Here
Nix crossed over. There had been
considerable passing to and fro and
the hounds were unable to pick up
the trail. But the officers feel confi
dent that it will be only a short while
before they have their man.
Nix is well known here and bears a
somewbat unsavory reputation, On
the day after Pope was killed Nix
was arrested on suspicion and p’aoed
in jail, He remained there about a
week and then had' a preliminary
bearing. The evidence was not
strong enough to hold him, though it
was believed by many at that time
that he killed Pope.
Nix was at Pope’s store on the
night of the crime, but swore that he
left there about twenty minutes be
fore the killing,
It is said that on that night Nix
came home with bloody marks all
over his shirt. A fire was built in the
grate and the tell-tale garment burn
ed,
It happened that a young lady was
spending the niirht with Mrs. Nix,
and has since informed the officers of
what she saw that night.
It- is probable that Nix will be run
to earth today, and must stand Jrial
for murder. There is a strong web of
evidence weaving about h’m. Nix
recently caused the arrest of a man
named Hamilton whom, he told the
officers, had killed Pope. Hamilton
easily proved an alibi.

ARE INVESTIGATING.
Grand JurvArD Looking Into the-Matter of
Rome’s Numerous Fires.
One of the most important matters
that will come before the grand jury at
their present session is an investigation
of the frequent fires which have oc
cured in Rome recently.
There are circumstances about many
of them that point strongly toward in -
cendiarism —so strongly about those of
more recent date that no doubt can exist
that fire bugs are at work here,
The fire in the Printup warehouse Sat
urday night is believed to have been a
deliberate attempt of some miscreant to
burn the building. The officers have
been hard at work for several weeks,
and it is said have secured about enough
evidence against a party to convict.
Rumors and counter r amors have been
rife in the city within the past few
days, and today there may be sensa
tional developments. It is expected that
an arrest will be made today.
