lieved the murders were committed.
This negro’s description has been
piloted on handbills and scattered
broadcast over tbe city and county,
with the reward offered, and all
nearby towns have been notified and
are on the lookout. Police officers
in automobiles have covered all the
roads for miles surrounding the city,
while posses on foot have scoured
the places where automobiles could
not go. The houee-t»-houee search
of negro homee continues. It seems
hardly possible that the egro can
long remain at large. *
