Aiken Murderer Caught.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 21.?Lee Green,
charged with the murder of Abram
Z:>re8tky, a Jew peddler, at Hawthon,
Aiken county, four weeks ago, was
surrounded by a posse last night and
arrested by Sheriff Alderman.
Two Augusta men, Glover and
Cadden, were sent to shadow Green's
house. Yesterday GlOver saw Green
in a barn, and fired on him. Later,
he sent word to the sheriff, who gathered
a posse of twelve men. They
rode in twos, surrounded the barn
before Green knew it. The sheriff
called to Green to surrender and the
fugitive came down from the fodder
loft and was taken to jail.
He talks little of bis crime, but
does not deny killing the peddler.
He told the sheriff that he had not
been out of the vicinity of Hawthon
since the killing, but had spent the
time with relatives.
He says he came home three days
ago, but had been in the house only
one time, and otherwise had not left
the hay loft. On Wednesday Green
sent out a message that he was at
home, and if the sheriff wanted him,
he could come and get him, but he'd
make things warm for the man attempting
to make the arrest.
GOVERNOR INFORMED.
Columbia, Aug. 21.?Gov. Heyward
has received a telegram from
Owen Alderman, sheriff of Aiken
county, informing him of the arrest
of Lee Green, who so brutally murdered
Abram Zorestky, a Jew peddler.
Green has been at large three
weeks, and has been terrifying the
people of lower Aiken county. The
peddler had gone to Greens house
on his regular rounds, and was shot
down mercilessly, and while yet alive
begged piteously for his life. His
dead body was robbed of $8. The
murder occurred on August 1, and
it was three days later when the
mangled body was found in the
peddler's own wagon in the woods.
The neighborhood stood very much
in awe of Green, who was a desperate
man. There was a large reward
for his capture, and he is almost
sure to be hanged, as this is one of
the most revolting crimes in the
state's history.
