language, which Smalls did not fail to

The estimates of the time that
Smalls required to reach the pavement
vary between three and five seconds.
The clerk's , estimate is less than five
seconds.

that he had been excluded from the
hotel railed Mr. Wheeler aside and

So far, the case has proven a peculiar
one and while two men have been ar-,
rested it is still undecided who the
real culprits were.
J. O. Clark and J. F. Cheney, two
white men, were arrested on a charge
cf assaulting J. P. Jones and D. A.
M'cKinney, also white. Cheney was also
held on a charge of vagrancy and
carrying a razor.
At the hearing today Clark was set
free and Cheney sent to jail for ten
days.
The two men both told the same
story, to the effect that a man had
come running up to them, while they
were on the railroad Saturday night,
and claimed that unknown parties had
held him up, and ordered him to hold
up his hands and further that he had
seized a rock and hit one of his as
sailants and then fled.
Cheney and Clark were arrested ;
later by an officer but it appears that
they were not the highwaymen.
Clark : is a young man from Spray,
N. C, where he worked in a cotton
milL and says that Cheney induced him
to accompany him on- a tr'ip South;' .
Clark's story before - the Recorder
bore the marks of being true and he
was turned loose with orders to get
back to Spray.
The two men who claim they were
held up are J. D.-Jones and D. A. Mc
Kinney. They were not in court this
morning however to testify. Clark said
that the man who came running up to
where he and Cheney- were standing
and claimed that he had been robbed
was named Bradshaw, but more than
this neither he nor Cheny could tell.
The man Cheney, after being arrest
ed here on a charge of assault and also
of vagrancy and carrying a razor, was
discovered by the local police to be an
escaped convict from the jail at Char
lottesville, Va.
Cheney admitted this in the Recor
der's court this morning.
He was sent to jail for ten days and
will probably be sent from here to Vir
ginia to serve out his sentence. He
says that he was imprisoned for giving
a man a pint of whiskey which he was
charged with selling.
There is some mystery surrounding
the entire affair and while it is prob
able that Cheney and Clark are inno
cent of holding up anybody on the
railroad Saturday night, it is also evi
dent that somebody was guilty of the
offense.
