Negro, Held for Gwinnett Killing, Brought to Tower. Mell Roberson, a negro, held on 1 warrants charging him with the murder of Victor Dowis, a former sheriff, was being closely guarded Monday by officers at the Fulton county tower to which he was rushed Sunday §fternoon byJGwinnett authorities. Roberson was brought here by deputy sheriff J. M, Bernard im mediately after his arrest near Norcross. The deputy told Ful ton county officers that Gwinnett county officers feared for the safety of the negro. Mr. Dowis was shot from am bush last week in Gwinnett coun tv on the banks of the Chatta hoochee river.

Newspapers on Monday were vnable to interview the negro, but officers at the Fulton county tower said the negro told them he was Ashing on the day of the murder a mile below the p’ace where the crime recurred, and that he got into the boat alter it bad floated dowu the stream.
