negro KILLED a cow
rorhor Hide. Biack Burglars
in the Fifth Ward.
At Recorder’s court this morn
ing, Recorder Eubanks played
t 0 a full house.
The first cases called were
against Joe Walker, for disor
derly conduct, and Mary Drive!,
for keepinc a disorderly house,
joe was fined $5, and the Driver
woman lectured and liberated.
Both were of Darktown.
Anderson Jones, the negro
merchant of the Fourth ward,
was up for keeping a disorderly
house. He was represented by
Hon. Seaborn Wright.
There were eight young negro
men arraigned for disorderly
conduct in connection with the
Anderson Jones case.
The evidence was lively in
many particulars, and disclosed
the fact that a crowd of negroes
were on Saturday afternoon,
shut up in a back room of An
derson’s store, playing “cracka
loo.”The guilt could be fastened
on no one and all were discharg
ed.
Mr. Wright, then, m behalf
of Anderson, stated that no evi
dence connected him with the
“crackaloo” business and that
he, Mr. Wright, had 01 several
occasions seen “crackaloo”
transactions in various places,
even in front of drug stores —
“and, your honor,” he exclaim
ed, “so common has become the
practice, (hat I have seen some
of the brethren engage and have
been amused to see how lively
they stooped when their coins
were nearest the crack.”
“If this negro is guilty of
k eping a disorderly house,”
c.ii.timed Mr. Wright, “then
there are liquor dens in the low
er end of the city that should be
blown up with dynamite and
ten thousand cases should be
made against people who throw
crackaloo.in Rome.”
His Honor lectured Anderson
and stated openly that the crack
aloo practice must be abated.
He instructed the officers to
make cases against any one
caught in the actin the near
future.
> Man in No. 3,” was called,
lather nice looking man of
a b"tit 35, came forward and en
ten d a plea of guilty to a cha: ge
ot drunk. He was fined $5.

I Jeff pursued one of the fleeing
negroes, helping him to outrun
him by continuously firing after

Turner to the scene.
The fleeing negroes left two
well filled baskets in Huguley’s
store. Jest went to North Rome
at once and secured Mr. Neube
Watters’ “nigger” dogs.
Deputy Turner took the dogs
and put them on the trail and
three times they ran to the same
negro house. Mr. Turner found
it almost impossible to wake up
the negroes in the house after he
entered it. He says they were
certainly slseiing sound to beat
the band.
Anderson Love, a young ne
gro man, has been arrested un
der strong circumstantial evi
dence. He is in jail.

and slew her in the woods. He
skinned the carcass and brought
the hide to town and sold it He

On Saturday afternoon Peter
Glover waylaid a cow belonging
to Eli Sorrels, another negro,
and killed her with an ax. The
crime was committed about
thrte miles from Rome, north
of North Rome.
Glover brought the hide to
the city and sold it to Abrom
