Negroes Charged with Assaulting Brauss Run Down by a Boy.

Griffin, Jan. 22. - [Special] - Two men, Charlie Wilson and Charlie Eppinger, 
both negroes were lodged in jail yesterday, charged with the attempted 
assassination and robbery of Mr. B. Brauss, an account of which was published 
last week in the Telegraph. The mayor offered a reward of $100 for the arrest 
of the guilty parties. Since then young Walter Powell, a lad of 19, has been 
at work on the case, and yesterday ha had warrants issued for the arrest of 
the parties named. He says he has sufficient evidence to convict them. Young 
Powell has proven himself an excellent boy detective. Griffin feels proud of 
him.
