AN UNFORTUNATE DISPATCH
■
i It Prevented the Arrest of Murderer
Sam Hose.
j Had not nome one sent a dispatch
| yesterday to the posse who for the
: past few days have been pursuing Sam
i Hose, the negro would have, ere this,
paid the penalty for his horrible crime.
When the dispatch was received by
the posse stating that Hose had been
arrested and carried to Palmetto, they
had the murderer and rapist located
and would have, beyond the shadow
of a doubt, captured him before the
sun rose this morning. After receiv
ing the ditpatch the men supposed
they were on the wrong track and dis
persed, leaving the brute to go his way
un pursued.
The persons sending the dispatch
which called off the pursuers, evident
ly had what they considered authentic
information of the airest of Hose, but
it proved to he a serious mistake.
Mr Abe Rog -.vsk . : .s city, was
one of the p.isse and to a C \i.i. reporter
today he related b w the negre wa»
tracked from place to place. Huge
was first heard of at Digby and from
there he went to Drewry ville, where
he tried to pass a $5 Confederate bid.
He was followed to Hollonville, and
there he again attempted to pass the
Confederate money for some tobacco
at Mr Marshall’s store.
The posse was not very far behind
the negro ami pushed on with all png
sih'e haste until they reached Mr. J.
P. t’rawfdrd’s plantation, about a mile
and a half this side of Concord.
1 hey learned from Mr. Crawford
th i 1 a negro filling the description of
Hose had applied to him that morning
ab-ut It) o’clock, asking for employ
ment, claiming he was from Jg’per
County. He was hired and left saying
he would return this morning and go
t ) work.
In a negro house on this plantation,
wi i found th ■ blot d stained clothes
which Hose had left o> be washed,
with the understanding that he ' old

; gentleman.
| Yesterday aftt-rnoon lie moved his
I baggage to the Jobnleon house and
' retired very early in the night.
He was awakened at 9:30 o’clock
by a party who bad left a piece of
baggage in hie room s- 1 who was go
-iug off ontbe 9 :40 train to Barnesville,
i He was asked to band the baggage out
the door and answered he would as
soon as be dressed.
Those standing nt the door heard
i the blinds close, and suspecting some
-3 thing, sent for Officers Gordon and
i i I‘belps, who gained an entrance to the
, i room by raising a window opening
. ■ upon the front porch, and to the sur
! prise of all, its occupant was missing
r An investigation disclosed the fact
I that he had jumped from the side
] window into the yard and made a
/ : hasty retreat through the back yard to
s i parts unknown. He left his valise of
- clothing and sample case—evidently a
1 j typewriter, while his notebook and
- i other articles were lying around the
■ 1 room. Every indication showed that
| ho left very hurriedly.
, ■ The, action < f Mr. Scroggins cannot
_j be understood, as no cause was given
- him to be alarmed at anything and he
' was only asked for a package in his
i [ room, which did not belong to him
; His belongings have been carried to
i! the police headquarters, where a card
was found bearing the address of G. B
\ Scrogins, Versailles, Ky., upon it.
