He occur pies the Mime cell that ta usually as ' als;ned to Sue McDonaJd, the one-eyed queen of Dark Alley, when she geta drunk and rowdy and fall Into the - hands ot the police officere. Testerday afternoon as an Observer reporter peered between the bare of the iron door that made the parson a prleoner he ww a humiliated A fro. American of the darkest hue. Several hour f confinement auch a General O. V. Duke, the day turnkey of the city Jail dlapenHee to those trusted to hta care., had taken the at arch out of Par- "eon Mitchell and he and his collar wilted. Suffering from Internal and external heat, he had thrown off hl hat, coat and collar and i trying to keep cool. Hla gray-red four-ln-hand necktie lay where he could eee and admire It an a notion struck him. If was very evident from his drawn .face, hi enlarged eye and his twitch ing lips that Kev. W. N. Mitchell waa ln great trouble. Hla cup was full of sorrow; not becaime he had sinned, but because his sin had found him out. About the 10th of last February a New York concern that inuken and veils apparatus for showing moving pictures shipped to a citizen of this town a $2M machine. The man had represented himself In a letter as the pastor of a wVallhy colored congre gation and as president of the colored graded school of this city. He wan one of the elect. He who called for the package at the freight office was none other than Kev. W. N. Mitc hell. The New York people heard no more of the machine. They could not lo cate their man. and after many indi vidual efforts appealed to the rull road authorities (or help. In the meantime the (Killce depart ment of the city wan notified and all of the officers were on the lookout for the person who had received the goods, but he could not he located, as no one knew that Kev. W. N. Mit chell and the man wanted were one and the same person. Mr. T. H. Andrews, who keeps a. i music supply hnu on Kant Trade street, lost two reels of moving picture films. 1,000 feet long, from his show window. While Mr. Andrews was In the rear of the store someone stol.; them. This was In February. The reels were worth 1 05. This theft was reported and the policemen have tried to get some clue that would lead to the arrest of the guilty erson. Yesterday was an unlucky day for Parson Mitchell. A large pa kage. bearing his name, arrived at the Southern freight office. From the general appearance of the hundle It was evident that some hlcago house had shipped him a phonograph of great proportions. There were the box, the horn and other things. One of the clerks, who had he-n told to keep an eye open for the mRn who got the ptcturu machine from New York, recognlted Mitchell when he cahed and telephoned to the police office. Patrolmen Johnston and Mi r rltt, of Sergeant Pitts' scjuad, answer ed the call and made the- arrest. The reverend man protested loudly, hut lie aoamait fln hi. Vi . .

At I first he was loath to give out anytntng except protestations, but lliu prospect. , of a long sweat in Jail made him 1 -tell many things that he did not care to tell. ! After landing Mite h ll In a c ell ! Messrs. Johnston and Merrlttr who j were like fine fox hounds on the- trail of a haughty red on a damp night, left the station and went to ; Mitchell's home, where- they Inter- i vleweel the wife of the parson, lie I rig 1 In their ever) day clothes, they ac ted the part of phi In-clot hen hI- iiIIim afftl questioned the- woman K'Htly hut ear- ' neslly.
