Norcross Suspect Does Not Fit Descriptions of the Party Wanted. D0«OO«0O0O<HttHMlKHMCHMHJO o 8HERIFF CROW 18 AFTER NEGRO. POLLING HEAVY VOTE Fixed for Brannon, Shep herd Goes on Quiet Quest for Plum. Reliable advices come from Savan nah Wednesday that Colonel Walter IV. Shepherd, a resident of Liberty county, but whose law ofllce la In Sa vannah, Is running a phenomenal race for congress from the First district tor the long term to succeed the late Rufus E. Lester. Home time ago'Savannah had tacitly decided to he "hands off" In the race, and It was generally understood that J. A. Brannen, a prominent attorney of Statesboro, would be given the long term. Colonel Shepherd did not say any thing, but' quietly disappeared from his accustomed haunts, nnd began a still hunt. He worked quietly but ef fectively, It seems, through the ten counties of the First district. According to the advices coming to Atlanta Wednesday, the Liberty county man Is polling a remarkable vote, with Splendid chances of receiving the nom ination for the long term. Colonel Shepherd was one term In the state senate from that district, and he also served for some years as Colonel Les ter's private secretary. He Is about 35 >ears of age, and said to be an nggrea- site. capable young man. Colonel William Clifton, "the liberty- loving cltlien from McIntosh,” seems pretty sure of receiving the nomina tion for the unexpfred term, ending on March 4, 1907. 0 O O Special to The Georgian. Q Gainesville, Ga., Aug. 94.— O Sheriff Crow left here at noon 0 today with bloodhounds In an Q effort to run down a negro be- O lleved to be the one who aa- O saulted Miss Ethel Lawrence 0 and her niece. Miss Mabel Law- O fence, near Copenhlll Monday. .0 This negro jumped from train O No. 36 on the Southern yester day morning and soon after Sheriff Crow was notified and went In pursuit, cash at* . - il He trailed him nearly all last night over the mountain region near Candler down the Gaines ville Midland railway, ten miles from here, and the sheriff be- O lleves this negro Is the one who O Is wanted. <1 O 00900000000000000000000000 A negro who answers but varuely the* description given out by Mabel Lawrence as the one who assaulted her and whose name Is Albert Travels, was brought down from Norcross at 1 9 o'clock Wednesday morning by Marshal Sudder, of that town. The negro was caught Idling and loitering around Nor cross, and some one suggested that he nnswered the description of the man who had perpetrated the assault In Copenhlll. The negro was taken to the Norcross Jail Tuesday night at 8 o’clock and Marshal Rudder says he tried to force his way out of the cell by break ing the grating. Sergeant Detective Lanford and sev eral other detectives held a consulta tion Wednesday morning and decided the man didn't answer to the descrip tion well enough to warrant keeping him here. He waa carried back to Norcross, where he will have to answer to the charge of Idling and loitering. Reed Taken to Tower. Arthur Reed, the mulatto who an swers so minutely to the description given by Mabel Lawrence of the negro wanted, waa hurried from the city • rla- on to the Tower, Just before dark Tuesday afternoon. Reed protests his innocence in spite of the fact that there Is blood on his underwear. Reed, when questioned more closely Tuesday after noon by Detective Coogler, said that he had been working on a rock crusher Monday morning, the day of the crime, the rock crusher being but 400 yards from the scene of the crime. Reed says about 9 o'clock he became III and asked for a leave of absence for the rest of the day. The assault occurred between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock Mpnday morning, and by his statement Reed places himself very near the place of the sassault. At the time he waa caught Reed was sneaking around near the corner of Fort and Decatur streets, and had blood on hla face. He was arrested by Officers Hannah and Russell. Mobs, seemingly as determined as ever, are still scouring the neighbor hood In the hope that by some chance the right negro may be caught and brought before Mabel Lawrence.' If this Is done a lynching Is Inevitable. Miss Ethel Lawrence, who was car ried to the Wesley Memorial hospital Immediately after the brutal assault. Is declared to be practically out of dan ger by the physicians of that Instltu- tlon. It was stated Wedneaday morn ing at the hospital that although 4tlss Lawrence will survive the attack of ths fiend, she has lost the sight of the left eye.
