GEORGE PRICE.
Everything Beady for Ills Hanging
Ills Last Dajs in Jail Efforts
to Get a Reprieve.
George Allen Files ii to be hanged In the
Jail-yard day after to-morrow, provided tbe
Governor does not interfere. A petition,
signed by about fourteen hundred persona,
was sent to the Governor yesterday, beg
ging him to commute the death sentence of
Price to imprisonment for life.
In addition to this, Price's wife with
bout fifty of the friends of her hus
band and family, white and colored, went
to Columbus with Judge Guthrie yesterday
morning over the Pan-Handle tfoad to in
tercede personally with the Governor on
behalf of the doomed man.
Binoe last Saturday no less than 1,600
people have visited the Jail, mostly from
morbid curiosity to see Price, He has
comfortable quarters, with plenty of read
log and writing material, books, flowers
and delicacies sent to him by tender and
sympathetic friends, many of th-m "f the
female persuasion. His cell is lighted by
two large windows on the north, side,
.through which a onrrent of fresh air flows
day and night, and the ventilation Is per
fect. He sleeps on an iron bedstead, pro
Tided with a good bed aud bedding, clean
sheets and pillows, and his last days are
being rendered as comfortable as possible.
Yesterday evening a number of Christian
ladies paid him a visit. Price was not ex
actly unfriendly to them, but rather iud f
ferent. A conversation ensued, as follows:
'Price, do you believe in God?" "Yes,
ma'm," "Do you believe in a Heaven?"
"I believe in a future." "Do you believe
in a Hell?" "It would be beneficial for
tou, young lady, and even necessary, t
believe in a Hell, as the fear of it would
probably prevent you from taking many a
step for which yon would be sorry for. 1
have no fear of it. I do not believe that
Almighty God would have ns commit sins
bere and then punish us in tne next worm,
If- earthlv punishments (ire not enough,
God ought to keep people from sinuini;,"
"Shall I pray for you?" 'I can attend to
that myself. You can do no good. I must
myself turn to God if I want to be heard."
The ladies thereupon fell on their knees
nd commenced to pray. Price said, "Go
,n. that's good ; I can pray without kneel
im." The ladies finished aud left, while
Price smiled, and turning to a friend, said
"Those ladies think wonders what good
they have done me; I don't need their
pruvers. We were all born to die, and if
it is ordained that I must die at thirty
even or fifty years I will do so. What
matters the time as long as von must die?"
He then commenced to joke with his
friend, and when he was asked if he want'
ad some whisky he replied, "Yes, but eet
label put on the flask that it is for me, or
else tbe bottle will pass tnrougn many
hands before I set it that there will be only
enough liquor in It to keep me from say-
ins tn.it x didn't get it." Ana men rrice
laughed heartily at his joke.
His friend said: "If that is tbe case,
your watchman ought to hang instead of
you, or at least you ought to draw straws
to see who should bung." Again Price
lauched and felt happy. .
Lust night a reporter had a talk with the
prisoner. He suid he did not know w ho
had cone to. Columbus to intercede for
him, and he hud not approved of the
movement. He did not want J udge Long
worth to buy him a new suit of clothes,
which bad been promised to be done fo
him. He would rutner have the money
for the same to be given to his wife.
He said Judge Loneworth did not know
as much about the case as be ought to, or
he would bave asked the Governor to do
something for him, or he would have
fudged differently during the trial. He
said if the facts about the tobacco had
been all known it would have bad a favor
able effect upon the jury; but for soma un
accountable reason his counsel did not de-
velop the facts. He said he could have
aroved conclusively by a man named Ed
Davis that he was not about on the night
tlia tobacco was said to bave been stolen
from Black's warehouse; and, further, he
could iiave proven that Black never lust
anv tobacco by its being stolen. .
He could show that the hogsheads we're
erroneously directed for shipment, as was
afterwards ascertained.
The tobacco that How received from
Black's bouse was trash and scraps that
the bovs used to haul to tbe dump and
throw away, being of very little value, but
Bow said tnat u mey wouia nave it naiyea
to bis place he would pay for it, as he could
use it in some way or otner. It was in this
wav that he trash got to be hauled to
How's warehouse. He paid the boys for it,
sometimes from 60 cents up to $1 60, and it
was divided among them, and they got tbe
linp with it.
i He savs that on the morning of the
f . - -I k n...A - Til . -L ..w.
nOvHl'n u w BV"w i m, iui quuic
money for market pnrp ses, but that he
was insulted there, and even cnt in the
hnd bv a tumbler thrown at him. t
I thereupon EOt int one of his insane fits,
durine wlncn ne lost control oi nimsrii
and did the sliootine. His attack on Mai
Blackburn in the Court-room was also due
to one of these fits.
Price bitterly complains of the unjust
remarks made against him by some news
papers, and this is ibe reason that he re
fuses to talk to newspaper men. Jairer
Birubuum is about the only man for whom
he has a liking.
Last night he wrote a letter to Judge
Longwortb, which was turned over to the
latter this morning.
Price's habits have been very regulai
wnile in jail. In the morning he rises wii
the call at the usual hour, refreshed and
vigorous after the rest afforded during the
previous nignt, ana partst.es or a nearly
meal of coffee, bread and butter, ham and
eggs and vegetablea in season. His dinner
consists of tea or coffee, chickeff or roast
beef, or some other kind of meat, with veg
tables, dessert of ice-cream r pie or pud'
ding, furnished from the private table of
tbe jailer, and any little nlcknacks that the
Iailer or his wife may think of. His supper
s very simple, consisting of tea, bread and
butter, fried potatoes, mush and milk, or
toast, milk or nutterea.
He Is in good health, weighs about 165
pounds, and Is about nvo leet seven
Inches in heieht.
To-morrow the prisoners will be locked
np, and in tbe afternoon the Jail will be
Iree to ait.
The talk around town this morning
that Price will not hang on Friday, 'IK
' is due to a dispatch received from Coluin
"bus last night that Judge Guthrie, hat1
made a Ions argument before Governor
Foster in fav r of a reprieve. The plea wus
that Price was insane at the time of the
murder, and was so now.
The Governor repih d that if tuch was the
case a commission to inquire into the mat'
ter should b appointed, and if P ice wa
Insane be would be reprieved. Tbe matter
of investigating into the condemned'! saui-
ty was left with Judge Guthrie, whoim
mediately left for this city to institute iiv
tjuir.es by experts into the murderet
mental condition. The Judge Is to report
the result to the Governor bv telegraph.
A Stab reporter visited Price in his room
this morning, bat as soon as he learned
ho the visitor was be turned bis back and
eut to the window at the other end of the
room, lighted a cigar' and sat dou in his
lemeu a ciijar anu bhi ouu m m
chair without deigning to bestow another
look on the scribe!
To Dr. Werner, however, he talked a
little. On being asked how lie felt, be said
Dreltv well." and to the Question whether
e had any hopes of avoiding his fate, he
replied that he bad none and that he was
resigned.
This is all he would sav. and tnrning bis
back, began to puff away luBtily at bis
cigar. He was in a better humor to-day
than for some time. When Price ascer
tained that Jailer Blrrrbaum bad intro
duced him to a reporter last evening and
thus causing him to talk, he became vexed
and does not now feel so trlendiy toward
the Jailer as he did on to vesterday.
Ti e jail is being visited by thousands to
day but few are allowed to go farther tbM '
presence does not affect him in tbe least.
