Bundrick will pay the penalty tor tho assassination of John Schroder on tho gallows at Cordele, Crisp county, Friday.

George Bundrick escaped and tfier several months was captured. On trial he wae convicted and sen tenced to hang. Then came n long legal fight, which terminated In the supreme court affirming the convic tion. Then followed the fight before the prison commission to save Bundrlck'a life. On the day prior to that on which he was to die on the gallows, the gov ernor granted a respite, and that night. Bundrick escaped from jail. For weeks nothing was heard of him. Then came news of his surrender In California.
