Tak ing the vote at Perry at noon as a criterion the vote throughout the county will be exceedingly light, probably less than 500 out of a possible 1500. Judge John P. Ross will receive a considerable 'majority for the short term for Justice of the Superior court. From Maryland Penitentiary Houston Jail. to October Superior Court. After an absence of a week and a few hours, Sheriff M. L. Cooper returned to Perry and placed in jail Robert Beason, alias Frank Smith, with other aliases,who had been wanted for forgery in Hous ton since 1895. In March, 1895, this man went to Fort Valley under the name of F. 0, Smith, and there represent ed himself as a man of means who desired to purchase land and en gage in fruit culture. In attend ing religious services regularly, and in being prominent in Sun day School work, he attained the confidence of the people. This confidence he forfeited by forgery. At each of the banks there a forged check was cashed for him, the aggregate' amount re ceived being' about $900, Later he was located at Quintette, Fla., but the Houston authorities who went after him were not quite quick euough, and he was arrest ed and carried to Maryland,where he was convicted of forgery and placed In the penitentiary at Bal timore. Sheriff Cooper was informed of all those faots,aud knew when the penitentiary sentence would ex pire. 'Therefore, Sheriff Cooper left Perry Thursday, September 18th, and with the necessary war rant, securing [requisition papers at Atlanta, and the neoeBsary Maryland warrant at Annapolis, he was in Baltimore at the proper time. Tuesday morning,when Beason, alias Smith, walkpd down the steps of the penitentiary, where he had been a prisoner since Jan uary, 1896, an offioer infleitizen’s dress arrested him, and within a few hours Sheriff Cooper was on the train with his prisoner, In route to Georgia, reaching Perry dire<?tly after noon last Thursday, September, 25th. The prisoner shows the effects of his long qpnfinment, and from the Baltimore American we learu that he is 44 years old and of good family. He is a native of Virgin ia, and his orookedness began as early as 1888- Since then, the American says, he had victimized merchants and bankers in several states, every place passing as an earnest Sunday Sohool wqrker, a man of means, generous and kind. Within two weeks |a Houston jury will pass judjment upon his forgery in Fort Valley in 1895. This oapt'ure reflects great cred it upon Sheriff Cooper, who is ev er alert in the performance of du ty, and never forgets a criminal or a orime oommitteed in Hous ton. He remembers equally friends and friendship. —■ - Another Murder Oase. A negro man was shot and kill ed at a negro church about four miles west of Wellston last Sun day afternoon. Coroner Schilling with Deputy Sheriff Riley left Perry Monday morning for the purpose of hold ing an inquest, but at the home of Constable J. T. Leverett they learned that there were witnesses to the shooting, and that the man who did the killing was un der arrest. No inquest was held The circumstances of the killing were practically as follows: Daring services in the church Sudday afternoon, a group of ne gro men were outside of the church, near a spring. Without any apparent difficulty or angry words, Wilson Riley was shot by Berry Barnes, the pistol bullet entering the head just above the left eye, and within a few hours the wounded man was dead. . Barnes was taken in charge' by the brother of the dead man, and others, and delivered into thacus tody of Constible Leverett, who brought the prisoner to I Monday morning. In County Court Monday morn ing .the prisoner waived commit ment trial,demanding indictment, and Judge Duncan ordered him placed in jail, not allowing bond to await action of the grand jury next week. The prisoner olaims that the shooting was accidental, but the prosecution expects to prove that there had been a previous difficul-' ty between the two men, and that 1 the killing was murder. , ' Subscribe for The Home Journal.
