The 'uneral services were most impressive, a>d the scene was a very pathetic out?. Henry AVhite, the youthful mur derer, who assisted his father in this bloody work, and who was captured and placed in the Colum bus jail was spirited away from the C'ty yesterday morning about JO o’clock. White was broughtnut of the jail and placed in a hack a short distance away with Deputy Sheriff j Ledsinger and a bailiff guarding! the prisoner. The hack was driven rapidiy away. Leaving the city, the hatk took a southeast* rndiri c tion down the Cuss ta road. It was at first presumed Aiat Mr Led sitiger and prisoner would stop 1 and hoard the Macon train, and that White would be placed iu the Macon jail. It is now thought, however, that th- pris mer has been carried »to Ameiicusor Albany, possibly to Dawson. Sheriff' Bowles declined to make any statement as to where the prisoner would be car ried, only saying that bethought it adv'sab e for safe keeping to re move him from the Muscogee jail.

Late yesterday afternoon it was rupiored that White had been lynched Southeast of the city. This rumor gaining credence, caus eji much exbitement.

The White family has removed from ' th°ir late residence. i It was last night that Deputy; Sheriff Ledsinger and prisoner, ! Henry White, w-r- seen at Ellers-: ville and that they were on roiitel to Macon. If the deputy sheriff had not given Ihe crowd the slip White may have been lynched. As soon as it became known that ; Whi e had been carried out of > the jail in the hack a.crowd in the vicinity started in pursuit, but the officer having in charge the pris oner threw the crowd off the track.
