of $600—Chl.f Dampler Pulltd H.m
Yeaterday Afternoon.
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
A negro barber named Johnson,
working for a negro barber shop
owned by a legless negro on Ashley
street, was an ill yesterday after
noon by Chief of Police Dampler.
He Is supposed to be a murderer
for whom a reward of about six hun
dred dollars Is outstanding In North
Carolina. Chief Darn- ter has been
watching him for so. time and has
also been In correspondence with the
officials in the North Carolina town.
From the descriptions they gave of
the murderer, the chief Is convinced
that It this li not the right negro be Is
a double of the guilty one. It Is
claimed that this negro came from
North Carolina, while the man who
did the killing of the North Carolina
officer was traced this way.
This negro ha* been In Valdosta
about a year, but hat been very ehy
during that time. He baa gone out
very little and has apparenUy been
dodging the officers.
When Chief Dampler Arrested him
yesterday, his partner ran away and
escaped .convincing the officer that be,
too, was on the lookout for the officer*
After his arrest, Chief Dampler had
hla picture taken and forwarded It
to North Carolina to be used In Iden
tifying him. The chief had a tele
gram today tbat the officer from there
would be here at once to see this ne
gro and see If he Is the one wanted.
It he la the right man, Chief Dam
pler will probably get a handsome re
ward for making the arrest.
