- Montgomery, April 4-[Special.]- The sheriff of Elmore county and a posse arrived in this city last night with six White cappers and lodged them in the Montgomery county jail for safe keeping. The arrests took place at Central Institute, Elmore county. The names of the prisoners are: Joseph Joiners, capatin; Will Joiners, Luther Ingram, Alonzo Edwards, 19 years old, who gave the gang away, and two others, whose names could not be ascertained. Two of them have confessed to the murder of a negro named Rufus Swindler, whom they took from his bed, clubbed and killed under direction of the captain, against whom the murdered man was to appear in the United States court as a witness.
