La3t Saturday Henry Brown, col ored, was arrested and lodged in the jail In Walhalla. For some time Brown has been shadowed, and at last sufficient evidence that ho knows a good deal about tho death of Rob ert C. Emerson was secured to Jus tify his arrest. Those working on the case are keeping their own coun sel, and but little ls known as to just what steps are to bo next taken. Brown, however, will be held pend ing other developments In tho case, which are expected to take place In tlio next few days. It has all along been the general opinion that Robert Emerson was murdered, though some have held steadily to the belief that he fell from the Blue Ridge trestle In Wal halla and wa? killed by the fall. The fact, however, that he was known to have had considerable money on his person the evening before his lifeless body was found near tho trestle, and tho further fact that when lils body was found there was but a small amount of change in his pockets, have given almost Uh mistak able grounds for the belief that Em erson met with foul play at the hands of parties unknown to the coroner's jury at the time of Hie Inquest. De velopments that will Implicate three or four parties besides Brown, and these, It is said by some, white men, are expected to follow close upon Brown's arrest. M. C. Long, Esq., has worked un tiringly on this case, and with some valuable assistance from the outside, has been instrumental In bringing about the results so far obtained. He, with others, has held to the mur. der theory all along. lt ls to be hoped that tho guilty parties can be brought to justice, and that speedily. The murder, if murder lt was, of Emerson was a most brutal one. A heavy blunt piece of iron was found not far from the place where his body was found lying In the mud near the bottom of the fill at tho trestle in Walhalla, and lt is thought that he was struck with this and lils body left there with tho Intention of giving the Impres sion that he had been knocked from thc trestle hy a train. The position in which Iiis body was found, how ever, did not bear out such a theory, a.id the wound on the head was such as to indicate that death caine as a result of being struck with just such a weapon as the piece of iron found. The developments in this case will bo watched with no little interest by Walhalla people as well as by the citizens ot' Oconee. A considerable ieward ls offered for evidence to con vict the guilty parties, tho Governor, the Town Council of Walhalla, Salem Camp. Woodmen of the World, hav ing offered rewards, and numerous citizens having contributed to a fund supplementing these. liulaimed Letters.
