WALLACE’S CONFEDERATE.
Will Stephenson Arrested and Lodged in
the Guard House.
Will Wallace’s confederate, Will
Stephenson, is in the guard house of this
city. He was arrested yesterday evening
by Policeman Morris. An Enquires Sun
reporter saw him at the general passenger
depot yesterday about noon, and Police
man Jackson was then on his track.
Stephenson, however, told thlsiofficer that,
his name was S nith, and succeeded iu
temporally evading arrest. List night an
Enquirer Sun man visited him at his
celi in the guard house.
‘Is this Will Stephenson?” asked the re
porter.
“Yes, sir; that’s my name,” was the hesi
tating reply.
“What are you in here for?” was asked.
“I got into some trouble about selling
whisky in LaFayette, Ala.”
“How long have you been away from
LaFayette?”
“About three months, and they have
been looking for me ever since.”
“Do you know Will Wallace?”
“Yes; but I have not seen him in four
weeks.”
“Did you have anything to do with the
recent trouble in Harris county?”
“No, sir. I know nothing aoout it ex
cept what I heard when I was passing
through there. I had no hand in it.”
“Where is Wallace?”
“I couldn’t tell, but they say he has left
that county.”
Stephenson seemed to be in a drunken
stupor and answered questions after con
siderable hesitancy. He is wanted iu La
Fayette for selling whisky without license
and a reward of §25 is offered for him.
He will be held until an officer from
Chambers county arrive^. If it should
turn out as it is reported; that he had a
hand in the Harris county outrages, it will
go much harder with him. Stephenson is
between twenty five and thirty years of
age, rather slender, and has brown hair
and mustache.
Among the rumors afloat last evening
was oue that Will Wallace had been seen
in the city yesterday bv two different par
ties who knew him. Neither of the par
ties could be seen, but gentlemen who had
heard them talk seemed confident that
they were telling the truth. An En
quirer Sun reporter s iw a gentleman
from Mountain Hill district last night who
said that the statement that Wallace had
gone to Florida was all a ruse to prevent
his arrest,
Muscogee Superior Court.
Muscogee Superior Court was in session
again yesterday, after a recess of one week.
Tue following cases were disposed of:
The State vs. Step Robinsor ; assault with
intent to murder. Verdict of guilty. Sen
tence has not yet bee:.- passed.
The Slate vs. Charlie Rutherford; Jr.,
burglary. Verdict of guilty of larceny from
the house. Sentence withheld.
The State vs. Lizzie Belcher; keeping a
common and ill governed house. Verdict
of not guilty. In this case three policemen
were witnesses. Judge Smiih thought
they were moat too reticent in testifying
against the accused, and he took occasion
to severely reprove them. He said they
knew where all these bouses were and who
kept them, but when put upon the stand
they endeavored to shield them. The
Judge’s strictures caused something of a
sensation in Court.
