With two double-barrel shotguns,
buckshot loaded, poked Into h|s hid
eous face and two steady Ungers toy
ing with the triggers Tom Adams, the
black desperado nnd ringleader in the
Jail delivery here Saturday last, was
captured Tuesday morning below
Plains.
Messrs. Tom Jennings and Dan
Faust, two young farmers of that lo
cality, made the capture and brought
Adams, securely bound, back to the
Americus Jail.
Sheriff Feagln was rather expecting
the return of Adams and had his. old
quarters ready for him.
With Deputy Fuller he had spent
the previous night In the woods, near
Plains, having had a tip that Adams
was hiding In that vicinity, but the
blackbird did not enter the trap
for him by the olllcers.
They came back to the city, know
ing that he would be picked up.
About dawn Tuesday Mr. Faust
learned that Adams was In a certain
locality, and would move at sunrise.
With Mr. Jennings he went to a place
of hiding, and after a wait of a half
hour the two men saw Adams coming
down the road unaware of danger.
Rushing him with guns presented,
they made him throw up his hands
while they bound him securely with
a handy plowline.
In Adams pocket, concealed, was the
handsome six-shooter he relieved
Deputy Sheriff Fuller of on Saturday
when the four prisoners assaulted
him In Jail and then dashed away to
short liberty.
"Don't shoot me," Adams said, "I
will go back to Americus, only don't
carry me to Plains.”
There was no doubt about his com
ing back to Americus all right, .and
there was no need of taking him
to Plains his raptors drove with him
straight to town.
The capture of Adams lands back
in Jail the last ono of the four des
peradoes who made an unexpected as
sault on Deputy Sheriff Fuller last
Saturday, when he went to feed them,

ring leader, took the officer's pistol
