Centerville, October 14-(Special.)-Cal Rily, the officer from whom it was alleged the negro Grant Richardson was taken and lynched, is not in any way connected with the sheriff's office as deputy or otherwise, but is a constable of Beat 9, Bibb county. No one connected with the sheirff's office knew of the arrest of the negro or of his being suspected of the crime until after news of his being lynched had reached Centerville. No prisoner has ever been taken from any officer connected with the sheriff's office since Sheriff J.G. Oakley has been in office.
