The Charleston Post says a story is being told in Colleton oouuty that Section Foreman Jones of the Atlan tic OoMt Line, while pn his deathbed a few weeks ago, confessed tor the murder of Ms wife, who was killed at Ravenel. in May, 1902, and that the three negroes, Jim Black, James “Ford and Thomas Pryor, who were lynched for the crime, were entirely innocent Of it. The murder of Mrs. Jones was one of the most shocking ever committed in the State. Her dead body was found one morning during the latter part Of May in the dog house in the rear of the yard with her throat cut and her head crushed in from ter riffle blows delivered with some heavy in strument. The body of the murdered woman was discovered by her little daughter, who reported to her father, who was at work down the railroad track, that her mother had been killed. Hurrying home Jones found the body iq the dog bouse and he seemed .^completely overcome with grief. ^ It was believed that the crime was committed by the uegroe^ for the pur pose of robbery. The theory was that the negroes went to Jones’ residence that morning after be had gone off to work, killed Mrs. Jones and dragged her body into the yard and threw it into the dog house and became fright ened and ran away before looting the house/ , -.j The news of tSe killing spread over Colleton county and armed men start ed in pursuit of Black, Pryor and FofdjBWbo, it is ^said, had been Seen near the Jones cottage on the morn ing of the tragedy. About three weeks after the commission of the crime Black was captured in Georgia and he was bft ught to Ravenel and taken before Magistrate Behling, who committed him to jail.

Bass, an other clerk, and the robbery of the mail car on the Alabama Great South ern train, which left that city early Monday morning for Birmingham. Paris was captured earl; Monday, bloodhounds following a bloody trail, strewn with bits of registered letters and other mail matter, from the scene of the hold-tip to a negro cabin, where Paris was found. As soon as the cap ture of the supposed bandit was noised abroad, there were indications that a mob might attempt to, lynch him, and the sheriff of this county immediately notified Governor Vardaman by tele graph. Very promptly Governor Vardaman wired Major Demgnt, of this city, to call out the state militia and to protect the negro prisoner "at all hazards." The two militia companies here and one from Newton were put under arms at once and Sunday night were drawn about the jail square, permit: ting none to enter without a pass from the-military commander. Ttie train had stopped at the Mobile and Ohio railroad crossing, when a negro sprang into' the -mail car andg without warning, Opened lire on the two clerks and a mail weiglftr, named Ivans.
