Jackson Argus December 1901
Joe Applin – Negro Arrested
Jackson, Ga., December 24th.   -  Last night just outside the city limits, 
Sheriff J. M. Crawford and chief-of-Police Lawrence Crawford arrested Joe 
Applin, the negro wanted at Sparks, Ga., for killing the chief of police of that 
town and shooting the Marshall at a negro restaurant there Saturday night.
Applin arrived here yesterday and hid himself in a negro barbershop, awaiting an 
opportunity to go to the home of relatives in this county, for he resided on the 
farm of Sheriff Crawford about fourteen years ago, and went to Sparks.   He 
admitted leaving Sparks Saturday night.  He purchased cartridges there last 
night.  When arrested he had a 44 caliber pistol in his pocket.
Applin is six feet tall, of a gingercake color and fills the description of the 
negro wanted at Sparks for the murder of the chief of police.  Sheriff Crawford 
is confident he has the negro wanted, and is awaiting the arrival of officers 
from Sparks to deliver his parishioner .  -  Atlanta Journal.
