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.

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.
