C., Oct. 19.?'2 30 a. ro. At tw? o'olock this morning Chief John W. Ball, o Atlanta, and policeman Rosser identitlec John Harris In the Abbeville station as thi slayer of Policeman Hans Drasbach. The of fleers accompanied by their prisoner, leav< Abbeville to-day for Atlanta. John Harris, the murderer of Pollcemat Hans Drasbach, was arrested and placed It Jail yesterday altemoon at Abbeville, S. C The capture wan made by Sheriff Lyon, o Abbeville, and Policeman Johnson and Mc Clane,and W. P. Ferguson, on the Fergusor place, near Abbeville. Harris acknowledged the crime when ar rested, and there Is no doubt that the olliceri there have the right man. Chief John W. Ball, of the Atlanta pollc< force, and Officer Rosser, who knows Harrli well, left for Abbeville last nlent on the 8:11 o'olock train of the Seaboard Air Line, anc win return witn me prisoner to-uay. Harris resisted arrest vigorously and madi an attempt to cut Sheriff Lyon With a largi knife. It was necessary for the officer to clut the desperate negro into submission with th< butt of his pistol before he could secure him j?kc;ro shot Thursday. Ths negro bore marks on his body when he was shot last Thursday, near Ml. Carmel 8. (j., by James T. Hester, who attempted t< eflect his capture. He was not seriously in Jured by the lead, however, and made hi way to the Ferguson place, where he was yee terday caugbt. Harris was reared In that neighborhood and the people who have him In custody an positive that he is the man wanted here lo the crime committed two weeks ago. Finding himself in a serious scrape, am olosely pursued by the officers of the law Harris did what nearly all criminals havi done since the beginning of history?he mad a bee line for bis old haunts. The officers of Abbeville were on the loots oat for the negro, and were expecting hin when he arrived. Scarcely had be landei among his former associates when they cam unon him. TRIES TO USE HIS KNIFE. It was not the intention of Harris to b taken aliv^e, ana be lost no time In attacklD the sheriff and other officers with hlR knife When last seen Harris had a pistol, but wbei captured he merely attempted to use hi knife. It was the same deadly weapon whlcl he used Id taking the life of Policeman Drat bach, and he came near adding another to th list of his victims. Only by the promptes and most energetic action did Sheriff Lyoi avoid the dangerous strokes that the despet ado aimed at his breast. Not expecting sucl a reception, the sheriff could not get his gui Into play, and was compelled to strike Harri with It simply as a club. The second blow c the offloer landed on the negro's cranium and brought him to bis knees. With the ai< of the others In his party, the sheriff dlt armed him and placed handcuffs on hi wrists. In this shape Harris was carrlei from the plantation In a buggy to Abbevlll and placed in the county jail, to be held uu til Atlanta officers coald be wired to com , * and get him. CONFESSED HIS CRIME. Finding himself securely locked up, Harri confessed that he was the man wauted hen He stated that he killed the ooliceman whil under tbe Influence of whiskey, and laid al the blame for bis act upon tbe mean liquo tbat be bad been imbibing tbe eveniDg of tb murder. Witb several companions Harrl bad been making a round of tbe Jolnte 01 Decatur street, and wben Drasbaob arrestee him he was foil of the vile flre-water and hi passions got tbe better of bis judgment. Th murderer appears stolid and indifferent t bis fate, ana made no attempt to deny hi Identity when the officers came upon him. James T.Hester, who shot Harris iastThnrt day, came near making tbe capture and get ting tbe reward for the arrest or the negri He saw him passing, and knowing who b was, he secured bis gun and overtook htu Wben he called upon him to surrender, Hai ris ran. Hester fired at him, but the shot di< not take effect sufficiently to stop tbe fleein criminal and he escaped. It Is only a shor distance from Mount Carmel to the'Fergusoi place, where be was arrested, and the negr made It on foot. It took him about two day to walk the distance separating the tw places.
