etlge.
Atlanta, Ga.. Feb. 18.-A bill making
sensational charges of dishonesty anl
fraud was filed to-day against Judge J.
K. Hines, the well-known populist leader.
Judge Candler, before whom the hill was
presented, granted an Injunction to pre
vent Judge Hines and the other defend
ants named from changing the status of
the property in question.
Mrs. L. E. Salter of Atlanta is the plain
tiff. Ellas Daniels, J. B. Daniels and W.
O. Wadley of Burke county are co-de
fendants with Judge Hines.
Site alleges that she owned 760 acres of
land in Burke county, worth $6,000, on
which there was an incumbrance of $4,000
to the Planters' liOan and Savings Bank
of Augusta; a place in Oxford, Ga.. worth
$3,000, on which she owned $2,000, and a
place in Burke county of 220 acres, worth
$2,000.
She alleges that J. C. Kimball, who was
her trustee, died, and he was succeeded
by Judge Hines, who claimed that he
could make her property rent profitably,
and the Burke county property was rent
ed to \V. O. Wadley since 1692 at S6OO for
the first year and S4OO each year there
after to Oct. ], 1697. She charges that
Judge Hines has collected all of these notes
with the exception of one. and that he has
failed to account for the money. She
charges further that she had borrowed
s9'>o on the property, which she desired to
pay off, and in addition wanted s<3oo to
pay for furniture.
Judge Hines induced her, she says, to
Sign two blank notes and indorse her bond
for titles held by the hank in Augusta,
In order that tie might borrow the money.
She claims that he filled out the notes
• for sl,nuo each and transferred ihe. bond
for titles to himself and borrowed $2,000
from a Air. Tyson of Savannah. He paid
off the s;*io notes, but she has not received
any of the balance. He has since, she
claims, sold the 760 acres, the bonds for
titles to which he had indorsed to him, to
Elias Daniels and J. B. Daniels of Burke
county for $1,500.
She says she has never rece'ved more
than $5Ol from Judge Hines during the
time that he has had charge of her prop
erty, and that he has allowed the prop
erty in Oxford to be sold for taxes. She
charges him with having converted her
property to his own use, and that if Dan
iels has ever paid anything, he has never
paid her. She wants the deed made to
Ellas Daniels set aside and the property
sold by Judge Hines without her knowl
edge returned to her.
Judge Hines, she alleges, has $6,000 of
her money, and she cannot get it from
him. as he Is insolvent, her only hope of
getting bark her estate being to have the
sales set aside. She charges a conspiracy
between Judge Hines and Mr. Daniels,
who is now in possession under the trans
fer of Judge Hines,
NILITAIU (HARD FLA MAG AY.
■Witnesses For the State Think the
Prisoners Is Sane.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 18.—Gov. Atkinson
has ordered two military companies to
guard the DeKalb county Jail and protect
Flanagan. W. O. Glenn, Flanagan's
lawyer, had asked for a mistrial and a
change of venue, but Judge Candler re
fused it.
The state's witnesses gave testimony to
day. Two men who had roomed with
Flanagan prior to the murders pronounced
him sane. Both said that he knew right
from wrong.
The neighbor who arrived at the Allen
home after the double murder had been
committed said that Flanagan told him he
was drunk when he did the shooting.
Flanagan had asked for thirty-six hours
in which to make some disposition of his
money and said that after that he would
not care what was done with him. Other
witnesses who saw Flanagan just after
the tragedy gave the same evidence.
Sheriff Austin, who arrested him, stated
that Flanagan did not appear to ha insane.
Two jailers who attended him in the
Fulton county jail testified that the pris
oner had talked and acted like a sane man.
Dr. Baird, an expert, pronounced Flan
agan sane. He said there was nothing in
the "knee jerk" test, of which some of
the doctors spoke yesterday.
“Col. Hal T. Lewis, the attorney for the
state, has the same kind of a knee that
Flanagan has, and I do not think there
is anything the matter with Col. Lewis."
said Dr. Baird.
The military will probably protect Flan
agan until the trial is r,ver.

and there were a large number of northern
tourists on the .same train. He was on
his way to Atlanta. The passengers on
the train gathered around him to pay their
respects and to shake hands with ihe old

DOC TOR IN THE DOCK.
A Charge of Aasnnlt Wilh Intent to
Rape Hanging Over Him,
Griflln, Ga., Feb. 18.—There were some
very sensational developments to-day
growing out of the shooting affray be
tween Dr. G. F. Johnson and J. T. Pitts,
which occurred here last week.
Late this afternoon Pitts took out a
warrant for Johnson, charging him with
assaulting Mrs. Pitts. Johnson was ar
rested, and gave bond in the sum of SIOO.
Johnsop says he is not guilty.
Pitts and his wife declare that the
charges in the warrant are true.
Dr. Johnson had been their physician
since last June, and was admitted to their
house and looked upon as an honest man,
they claim, until the commission of the
act which led to all the trouble.
The warrant states trie date to be Jan.
13. hut Mrs. Pitts fixes it on another date.
On Jan. 27 they say that Johnson signed
a paper in thiir presence, admitting un
becoming conduct and agreeing to leave
the city in five days, and not to return,
except in case of serious illness in his
family. He failed to act up to his agree
ment; hence the subsequent action.
This paper, they say, is in the hands of
their attorney.
Last Friday night 'J. T. Pitts,
an engineer on the Central rail
road, called on Dr. Johnson anil
demanded a retraction for an in
sult to his wife. Johnson refused to re
tract and at the time drew his ptstoi
and tired at Pit Is, who returned the fire.
Eleven shots were tlrsd, hut neither men
was hurt.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1897.
GRANTS MORE TIME TO GRANT.
THE GOVERNOR RESPITES THE NE
GRO FOR TAAO WEEKS.
During This Time the Governor Will
Carefully Weigh the New Evidence
tn the Case—The Belief Gaining
Ground Thnt He Will Commute ID"
Sentence—Strong Influence I"
Drought to Hear In the Negro’a Be
- Mr. Alyrlek One of Those Be-
Frtending Him.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 18.—Gov. Atkinson
this afternoon granted another respite to
Sam Grant, the Ameriens negro mur
derer, who was to have been hanged to
morrow. The respite Is for two weeks,
during which time the governor will make
an investigation of the new matter in the
case, and probably commute his sentence
to life imprisonment, an application to
that effect being now pending before him.
To-day Justice Fish of the supreme
court, who was the circuit trial Judge be
fore whom Grant was convicted, wrote to
the governor asking for the negro's com
mutation. Judge Fish stated that he
was satisfied that he committed an error
in refusing to allow another speech to be
made by the attorneys for the negro,
although the supreme court upheld his po
sition upon a technicality.
Mrs. Myrlek. editor of the Americus Re
corder, appeared til'fore the governor to
day and made a plea for the negro's life.
In addition mere are a number of letters
from influential citizens asking clemency.
Grant bore a good character prior to the
time of the killing and there is a belief In
the community that he killed the other
negro, which occurred at a dance, in self
defense. The testimony of the witnesses
for the state who swore that Grant shot
while the other was retreating will be im
peached before the governor. He will,
however, hear from the state also in this
impeachment. Grant was respited last
Friday, an hour before, he was to have
been hanged until to-morrow. He was
preparing to mount the gallows when the
news of the respite was received.
Americus, Ga., Feb. IS.—The deepest in
terest prevailed here to-day as to the de
cision of the governor in the case of Sam
Grant. The suspense to Ihe poor negro
was terrible and was shared in part by
hundreds of good citizens who have work
ed to save him from the gallows, and,
while it was hoped the governor would
commute the sentence, there is great sat
isfaction expressed even at the further re
spite of two weeks. Never in the history of
the county have the best citizens felt such
deep interest in a condemned criminal or
worked harder to save a life. The belief
is now expressed that the successful im
peachment of several state's witnesses
will result in commutation of the death
sentence.
THE “CONCH” CAME BACK.
A Nassau Negro Who Refused to Be
Drowned.
Tampa, Fla., Feb. 18.—Will Gurley, a
negro, who was arrested here last Satur
day, by Sheriff Spencer, was carried to
Arcadia this morning by Sheriff Dtshong
of De Soto county. Gurley is to be tried
on a double charge, for robbery and at
tempted murder. He and several com
panions. about a year ago, assaulted an
uthei negro, beating him to death, as they
thought. After robbing his person they
took his body down to the river and
threw him overboard to conceal the evi
dences of their crime.
it seems that the man they wanted to
rob had been employed at the same phos
phate camp they were working at. When
he was paid off and it was learned that he
was: going away, Gurley and his com
famous decided to rob him. They went
down to the depot that night while their
nun was waiting for the train and one
ot them enticed him away from the sta
tion, where they jumped on him and beat
him into a state of insensibility. After
securing his money they determined to
put him away. Accordingly they secured
a p'ece of railroad iron and a cogwheel,
'these they tied to his hands and feet
with some telegraph wire, and finished
'ip the job by throwing him in the Pease
ri\ er.
Their victim chanced to be from Nas
sau. and throwing him in the water was
similar to throwing brer rabbit in the
briar patch. The water revived him and
by the time he reached the bottom he was
endeavoring to unfasten himself. They
had not been able to tie the wire very
snugly about his limbs and it did not
take the Conch, as the Nassau negroes
are called, long to loosen himself from
the deadly weights. After he came to the
surface he swam ashore and cautiously
made his way up town.
The next morning he swore out a war
rant for his assailants and went with an
officer to point them out. AVhen they ap
proached the Intended prisoners, the sup
posed murdered man was identified by the
crowd, who were more frightened at his
appearance than the officers, and they ran
away in frantic fright. Gurley is proba
bly the only one pf the men who will ever
stand trial for the offense. It is needless
to say that the Nassau negro is regarded
with much awe
A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Attempted Outrage Ip on) a Five-
Year Old Child.
Louisville, Ga.. Feb. 17.—Yesterday eve
ning a negro boy named John Warren was
brought to town by the marshal of Stella
ville, a village sixteen miles northeast of
here, and put in jail for attempting to
rape tbs 5-year-old child of Mr. George
S. Farmer, one of Jefferson's largest farm
ers and a leading populists. It appears he
was caught in the act. There Is another
young negro in Jail awaiting the action of
the governor, who has been sentenced to
hang, but was reprieved. He is the same
age as this last criminal, 15 or 16 years.

Atlanta. f tearing House Wants
Changes in the Laws.
Atlanta. Ga., Feb. 18.—The clearing
house committee, which investigated the
receivership of the State Savings Bank,
tn its report to-day, which was adopted,
recommanded the following changes in
the receivership laws which the commer
cial Interests of the state are.called upon
to press before the legislature at Us next
session:
“First—No bill seeking a receiver should
be entertained without requiring the
plaintiff to file at the time a bond with
security to meet any and all damage that
may be caused to the defendant, in ease
the petition for a receiver is not sus
tained.
"Second—The law which now allows at
torneys to collect fees out of the funds of
firms or corporations brought into court
when bills are filed for receivers, should
be changed so as to require each client
to pay his own attorney’s fees, and to
stop the payment of fees from funds
brought into court.
"Resolved, further, That we call the
harm produced by forcing business prop
erties unnecessarily into the hands of re
ceivers, to the attention of the judiciary,
and we express the hope that they will
exercise all possible discretion to mitigate
the evil incident thereto.”

WHITE FLYER HALO'S CHOICE.
America’* Champion Seloct* the
Barnea Bicycle from tmoag All
Other* for Ilia Mount Beeanae It la
the Beau Hrummell, the Chester
field and the Chevalier Bayard of
the Whole Bicycle Family.
TWO YEARS ago it had flush joints
and one piece cranks and shafts, narrow
tread, etc., features that every other bi
cycle is now to-day adopting and adver
tising with a great deal of gusto.
There is no use denying it, the Barnes
has the handsomest lines and Is the
swiftest bicycle before the American pub
lic. if it was not so why then would
Champion Edward C. Bald, Otto Zeigler,
L. A. Callahan and other riders adopt it?
Bald, who is the fastest man astride a
wheel in this country to-day, has SIGN
ED AGAIN with the Barnes Cycle Com
pany, and why? Because he considers the
BARNES THE VERY BEST. Every
concern was after him.
THE FAMOUS REMINGTON is the
bicycle that everybody buys. We say ev
erybody because when people who are not
partial to any particular make desire a
wheel one of their first thoughts is of the
Remington, and why? Because they
know that everything that is Remington
is first-class. The name Remington was
known long before bicycles were thought
of, and when the Remington Arms Cos.
decided to build a bicycle they had far
more to lose than gain, and hence we
claim the Remington Is a perfect bicycle
in every respect. Look at it and acknowl
edge it.
Our EAGLE BICYCLE at SIOO, $75 and
SSO we cannot say too much about. “Why
the SSO Eagle is better tjian two-thirds of
all the other bicycles we know of at $100.”
This seems like great talk, but we are
perfectly willing to place either the ladies’
Eagle or the gents’ Eagle at SSO alongside
of almost, yes, we say any other bicycle
at SIOO, excepting our Barnes. Remington

Savannah and likes it.
We won’t say anything about the IDE
HIGH ART, s we cannot find words to
describe' it, but we invite a comparison of
other wheels to the High Art Ide, and we
are willing to await the decision of Sa
vannah's most criticising wheel public.

IT’S NO TROUBLE
to serve the most appetizing soups
If you buy them already prepared from
us. We want you to understand what
we mean by soups to serve. We mean
soups which are made of better materials
than you could possibly buy at a lower
cost, because they are made in much
greater quantities. The soups are pre
pared in a perfectly cleanly manner.
There s no use in selling them if they
aren t clean. One uncleanly can of soup
would destroy all our sales in that line.
