/ •r JOSHUA JONES, Editor and Proprietor. VOLUME Nil. Arrested Tor Murder. Deputy Sheriff Skiver of Henry county, Ala., was in Daw^oti Saturday for the purpose of taking back to that |State a negro, George Austin, who was arrested at Mr. Wyatt Bridge’s in the eastern part of the county by Sher¬ iff Christie several days before. It is alleged that Austin killed his wife in the year 1889, just thirteen years Capture ago, and had managed to evade until last week. The negro declares positively that his name is not George but Alfred Austin, and that he is a brother of the man who is wanted for the crime in Alabama, and Deputy Skipper himself was not positive that he had the right man, though he thought the evidence as to the negro's identity sufficiently stroug to warrant his being taken back to Henry county. The crime for which Austin was ar¬ reted is said to have been a very heartless and brutal one, and if lie is the right man he will probably suffer the extreme penalty of the law\ - Austin has been a farm hand in this county, for a number of years, and all oi his employers, give him a good name. To those superstitiousJy inclined; it might be a significant fact that thp number which lapsed between the commission of the crime and the ar¬ rest of the alleged perpetrator of it was thirteen years.—Dawson News.
