An Angry Mob Was Anxious to Stretch His Neck, But He Was Lodged in JaiL Taldosta, Ga.. Dec. I. Further de tails have beenreceived of the desper ate battle between a sheriff's posse and James Henry, the Florida outlaw, a few miles from tins place at sunrise Sunda morning. . A heavy detachment of civil officers, consisting .of Sheriff Hawkins, of Su- wanee county, Fla.; Sheriff Chisholmi; of this (Lowndes) county, and deputies un der each .officer, early ; in the morning congregated at Lake Parkto accom plish the capture of James Henry, who is wanted for murder in White Springs, Fla. Henry was.living in a small house near Lake Park with his wife, her moth er and three sisters-in-law. He was known as a determined criminal and the officers expected a hard battle. Led by a negro guide, the posse . ap proached Henry's house, under; the be lief that he was yet sleeping, and that it would be an easy. matter to secure him. When ' within fif ty; feet , of J Ui6 hut Henry, who was far from tielng off his guard, as supposed, thrust , his Win chester out of the door and opened fire on the -posse. - His first shot tore , a rag ged hole-in" the side of Deputy James, of Florida, , and that official went down like a log. His companions quickly re turned the fire, but Henry fearlessly ex posed i himself , and a : second bullet from- his" weapon struck Marshal Hine- ley, of Lake Park, in the head inflicting a probably fatal wound. : A heavy fusil-. ade. then ensued. Shots poured from the windows and roof of the house into the midst; of the officers. .The latter re treated to trees and from behind these kept up a; steady return volley. Jt was evident that the women in the houe were also taking part in the battle... Two hours of this novel duel followed, and Henry only " surrendered when from a chink in the roof one of his sis ters saw a mob hustling along toward the cottage. He then surrendered and the officers rushed him off in another di rection, finally bringing him into jail here. The mob pursued, but were un able to catch up with the officers. An examination of the women in the house disclosed that Mrs. Roe, Henry's mother-in-law, had been fatally wounded. WILL ASSUME THE DIGNITIES. San Francisco. Dec.

' DYING STATEMENT OF THE MDRDERED MAN. The Murderer Claims That He Com. mitted the Deed In Self-Defensa and That He Was Being Punished by His Victim.' -' . Dayton, Tenh., Dec. 1. Rhea county has another murder to her discredit, and the murderer is a boy not yet out of his teens; not only that, but the mura derer and the murdered were prisoners in the county jail. ; For some -time Aaron Johnson, col ored, has been. an inmate of the county Jail, charged ;with carrying a. pistoKv few days ago John. Morris, aged 16, alsocolored, was sent to Jail in default of bond, charged with assault. An en mity arose between them, which was intensified Monday by Johnson cursmg Morris, when i'the latter threatened to "evenup the ihatter"' with Johnson s soon as possiijle. The time came yes terday at noon in' an altogether un looked for way; ' Late Monday afternoon Dave Day was Jailed for some small offense. Al though searched he managed to secrete and take his pocket knife in with him. By some meahs Morris learned of this, went to him at jnidnight and borrowed it, telling Daythat Johnson had been cursing and abusing him and that he intended to kill. him. Soon after noon yesterday the oppor tunity came, and he plunged the knife, ah unusually large' one, into; Johnson's side. It entered between the foiirth and fifth ribs, cut the left lung open and penetrated the heart. It was some time before-any pf 'the persons notified the Jail officials. ;yho hastily summoned Drl AbernathjV: but nothing could be done for the . unfortunate man, and - he died in a short time. Johnson's dyins statement is . to the effect that theattack was wholly un provoked, and that he did not know that Morris intended'to do. him bodily harm.' On the other hand. Morris claims self defense, and that Johnson was the better- man and;as punishing him severely-. . ;i';-V' :-';,' . , An Inqestwlheid over the remains of Johnson last hlght,; but -the verdict has not as yet odeh given out. Morris does not bear ary good name and is considered a banegrb. He is how serv ing a long Jail sentence for- throwing a stone and strilcifigr Claude Givens, in flicting a very gainful wound, several months ago, an3has figured in a num ber of misdemeanor cases. Johnson was serving a Jail sentence fpr whipping nis wife, but has heretofore been a quiet, peaceable kind of.a negro, and the gen eral opinion isthat he was not so much to'; blame in this case as Morris, would have them believe. ' , . Jailor Vaughfi is put of the city, and his family were looking after the pris oners during his absence Morris does not seem grieyer over theaffair,, and Claims he has no, reason to regret it. He may change his mind when he realizes the fact that he is a murderer. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. . ' Dayton, Tehn.,'. Deci 1.
