MURDERER CAUGHT HERE
John Wilson, Colored, Arrested by
Chief Gray,for the Murder of Henry
Maxwell, also Colored, at
Hopewell Church.
A murderer who has been at
large since the 20th of last month
was arrested . here Thursday by
Chief of Police Gray, of this city,
upon the advice ot Sheriff Wallace
of Mecklenburg county.
- The crime for which the negro
John Wilson, is sruilty (for he con
fessed to the officers,) was commit
ted 'at Hopewell Church, eleven
miles from Charlotte, on the 20th.
of June'. His victim was Henry
Maxwell, also colored.
Wilson is ' a large, desperate
looking negro and it te a good
' thing he is in the hands of the Uw.
He admits his guilt and modestly
informed Chief Gray that he
thought there was a reward of
$25 00 offered for his arrest.
DEAL IN UNION PACIFIC
Jacob H. Schiff, confronted with
records of the Equitable tbatKuhn,
Loeb & Co., nad sold a large
amount of Un'ou Pacifiic preferred
stock to the society, swore that
these records were false. In vari
ous sales of bonds to the Equitable
by bis firm he admitted that a
large loss was shown.
It appeared from his testimony,
that of Mr. Hydr, and others, that
the Equitable had taken $2,000,000
worth of Union Pacific apparently
at the suggestion: of E- H. Harri
man. No record of this agreement
was put in evidence. Mr. Hyde
said Harriman had it.but Harriman
was not called as a witness.
In a circulrr letter bearing yes
terday's date Chairman Morton
waras all officials and employes of
the society not to discuss publicly
the society's affairs. In the' future,
when there is anything to be said I
, will say it, is the concluding state
ment of Mr. Morton's letter.
