COLUMBIA WILL HOLD GREENYILLE NEGRO MURDER SUSPCT Columbia Authorities Suspect Their Prisoner of Being Turner; Who Shot Officers. Greenville, S. C., Oct. 7.-Although a half dozen suspects have been ar rested in different parts of South Carolina, reports from local police headquarters at noon today indicated that-Joe Turner, the negro who.killed Policemen A. M. Blair and J. L. Kitchin Sunday morning, had not been caught. Reuben Royal, the negro arrested by the Columbia police Monday night as possibly the Joe Turner wanted for the murder of two policemen in Greenville, is still held at police headquarters, and Chief Richardson dates Tuesday that will he has not been able to idcntify the negro as the man wanted in Greenville, the man's actions are peculiai and the idea has not been abandoned that the negro is Joe Turner. -Chief Richardson is .to have the man photographed and his picture sent to Greenville for identification. The man will be held until the Greenville authorities report on the case after seeing the negro's picture. The negro was ar rested when he jumped from a freight train, on which he was beating his way, arriving in Colupnbia Monday night. When arrested by the Columbia police the man had on two pair of pants, two shirts and other extra clothing which officers state gives the- lie to his words that he was working on a railroad gang near the city limits and that he had boarded the train to come into Columbia. Royal was arrested along with an other negro, both of whom . jumped from the train and ran when they saw the officers waiting to .arrest them. Both negroes told different stories as to their being on the train. Royal denied that he was the negro seen on the train by the tjainmen. How ever, members of the train crew said he was the same negro. The first thing Royal said to the officers when he was arrested was, 'Are you arresting inc as the negro who killux the Greenville officers?" The Columbia police force were notified Monday night by conductor J. H. Gilbert, who was in charge of freight train between Union and Co lumbia that two negroes were heat ing their way on his train towards Columbia, and tNt he suspected one of them as being Turi-. wanter in Greenville. The 'train was tied up near Frost, just above the city. Po licemen rushed to the piece in the police patrol. Another squad went to the dcene aboard a freight engine that went to haul the train into Co lumbia. When the. train passed. the Broad River road the policemen in patrol wagon saw the two negroes on top of one of the freight cars. They "beat it" *acl to the city, and were wvaiting for the train when it reach ed Bland ing street. The negroes saw the officers in waiting and jumpedl from thc tryin. The policemen pur sued and the negroes were captured. Royal conforms in some particulars to the dlescription of the man wanted in Greenville. Chief Richardson stated Tusa' t ontath a not noiidteGenil authori ties and did~ not laln to do so, until lhe gets something more definite as to the negro's identity. He dloesn't want the Greenville oflicers to have a trip to Columbia for nothing. At the same time, if he get sany veidlence to con vince him that Royal is Turner, he wit then notify the Greenville police chief and ask that he sendl someone to identify the man.
