Subject

Sheriff Fontenot has effected the capture of M.B. Woods, a negro "hoodoo doctor," who has been a fugitive from justice for six years. The charge against Woods is breaking and entering in the nighttime in Rayne about six years ago. Since the commission of the crime many attempts have been made to capture the negro, but each time he succeeded in evading the officers. He has been heard from in several states, and the Sheriff's office has sent for him a number of times and to a number of different states. Recently Woods was located in New Iberia, and City Marshal Lyman Clark, of Rayne, was sent to arrest him.
