BOB REDDING.
In “r^rr* This Section. B,,r “ ,Kr
The notorious Bob ‘ Redding, the
negro desperado who was .arrested in
County 'Jm teai Jail. r
1510 News and Sun reporter in
eompany with our efficient chief of
polce, policeman Whitaker and Mr,
Dave Johnson, visited the jail yester¬
day in order to see this man of whom
there has been so much talk.
Bobfteddiog is a dark mulatto
about five fret and eleven inches tall
and weighing about onehundred and
sixty pounds.
He docs not look to be the desper¬
ate man that one would expect to find,
but after a short talk with him
one cannot fail to notice his dark
keen eye—only one eye shows now,
as one was badly bruised by the po¬
liceman’s club, and this is covered
with a handkerchief.
Bob-remembers very well all of the
old citizens of Spalding and surround¬
ing counties—their homes and their
names, and enquired after quite
number of them.
Bob will d¥)t talk about his brother
Wiley, who is, perhaps, a worse char
acter than himself, and when asked
where Wiley was he Said: “Now boss,
if you was arrested and your brother
was wanted, you would’nt say any¬
thing.
The reporter did not try to force an
answer to his questions, and if he
had his efforts in this direction
would probably have been in vain.
Bob says that he had nothing to
do with the recent robbery of Deputy
Collector Matthews of Pike county,
that he was in Columbus, Ga., at the
time it ivas perpetrated, and did not
hear of it until he reached Stearns-
ville.
He is held to the Superior Court by
a bond of fifteen hundred dollars,
and to the city court by a bond
of three hundred dollars, which he
has not given.
Besides the misdeeds which are
fresh in the minds of the people of
this section, Bob was connected
with the shooting of Mr. Searcy, who
lived about three miles from Griffin
twenty years ago. Mr. Searcy swore
that he saw Bob Redding at the time
the shooting occurred.
Bob was in Nashville, Tenu
number of years ago, and assisted in
capturing Lewis Travis, another
desperate negro from this county,
who was wanted at the time. At the
time of the capture Bob was serving
a twelve months sentence in the
chaingang.
Lewis Travis was captured after
haying been shot by a detective in
Nashville, who narrowly escaped
lo8ing his own Hf e , a piece of his ear
being shot out by a bullet from
Travis’ pistol. Lewis afterwards
died in our county fail.
The Redding and Travis negroes
lived on adjoining plantations, and
Bob Redding’s and Lewis Travis’
mmediate families have always been
considered desperate characters.
Bob was asked where his Meter
Adeline was; but only said that she
was a good girl. He stated that his
old mother was still living, but he
did not say where she was living.
Bob Redding is thought to have
been one of tbe parties who shot
Maj. Lovett of our city. At the
time Maj. Lovett was living several
miles from our city on the Zebulon
road,
The crimes of this negro, Bob Red¬
ding, if printed in book form would
make interesting reading matter for
the you ths of our country who in¬
dulge in dime novels. But Bob says
that the Griffin people should be¬
friend him, as he never did anything
worse than gamble while in our sec¬
tion, but committed his greater
crimes in foreign climes.
The Verdict Unanimous.
