Sheriff Sam West- cott brought them over from Alabama, last night. El berry and Andrew Amerson on July u. It Is charged, assaulted John Sanders to front of Brannon’s bar In South Macon, Inflicting Injuries from which he died. The young men Bed to Taylor county, tire place of their residence up to the lime they came to Macon. By tne as sistance of friends and relatives they mruiuged to frustrate all the efforts of onerlff Westcott to effect their capture. just a week ago they concluded to leave their Taylor county hiding places and make their way out of the state. They did this successfully, but they did not get very far uwa7- A couple of days ago they were focated In Phoenix City, Ala., one of the trans-Chattahoochee sub- urbe of Columbus, and Sheriff Westcott was at once (pformed of their presence. He telegraphed to the Alabama authorl- des, and at his request the young men were captured and held. Col. Westcott, accompanied by Deputy Mlllirons, went over to Phoenix City yesterday morning and secured his prisoners, returning with them yesterday afternoon on the train arriving from Columbus at 7:15. They took rffelr arrest very quietly and waived the preaence of requisition papers which would have been necesaaxy to have gotten them from Alabama. Roth tola Sheriff Westcott thtet They were rather glad than otherwise that they had been captured, as they were tired of being fugitives from the larvr. The trip over from Columbus was de void of Interesting features until Rey nolds was reached. Here the father of the boys and a dozen or so of their friends were present when the train arrived. They crowded InCb the smoking car and shook hands with the prisoners and offered them words of cheer. Tho next Interruption was at the Junc tion. Kero a great crowd was present, nnd as soon as the train stopped they boarded It and crowded the smoking car. There was considerable confusion, and one of the prisoners requested that the orowd be cleared out. This was done as well os It could be, but It was effective only for' a moment. Among those pres ent was a brother of the prisoners. Col. Westcoft had to order him out of the car. When the train arrived at the shed there was at least a hundred people pres ent, anxious to catch a glimpse of the men. A big proportion of them followed the sheriff to the Jail. Acting under advice of counsel, the pris oners' declined last night to make any statement in regard to the crime of which they are charged. STORY OF THE CRIME. The story of the crime with which the boys are charged la so uncertain in detail that no satisfactory verdort or It - haf yet been brought to light. The coroner’s inquest held over the dead body of the victim two weeks nfter the murder succeeded only In inducing enough evidence to warrant a verdict of murder, and under that charge they now await trial In BIM> county Jail. On the morning of July 34, Andrew and Elberry Amerson had a difficulty with old man Sanders out at Brannon’s bar, In South ‘Mneon. In which the iatter was so badly Injured by a knife In the hands of one otf the boys that he died from the effect of a stab »n the temple. He died early Sunday mffrnlng.
