Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 24. —William W. Weinhardt, of the Weinhardt Secret Service'bureau, of this arty, was in Fowler on Sunday and incidentally called at the Benton county jail to take a look at the negro who held up and robbed the Big Four station at Earl Park last Thursday night, Mr. Weinhardt says the man bears a close resemblance to a negro knowh as "Money Jim,” who is wanted in Columbus, Ohio, for murder. Pictures of the man in custody at Fowler wall be sent to the Columbus authorities. The man claims that his home is at Atlanta, Ga., hurt that he has not been there for several years. He’s recovering nicely from the gunshot wounds inflicted in his back by the posse of Earl Park citizens who captured him after a pistol battle.
