THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. OFFERS WHOIJE GUILTY City Determined to Punish Rioters .Who Killed or Wounded Negroes. The determination of Atlanta to wipe out any - stigma connected with tho event* of the pa*t few day* wa* clear, ly ehown at the adjourned «e*slon of council Wednesday afternoon when was unanlmoualy voted to reward the capture of any of those who killed or attempted to kill during the riot. The resolution was adopted giving 1200 to the captor of any of the murderer*. The reward will be given on conviction. Captain W. D.

"If the city council of Atlanta favor* and starts the rewards the citizen* will supplement It." said Captain Ellis. "The reward* should bo given by the city, the county and state. We have seen .the mayor and will see fhe governor. Captain English also, spoke on the subject. The mayor had the following com munlcatlon by him to the council read "To the General Council of the City of Atlanta: "Cfent'lemen—It becomes my. painful duty, to officially call to your attention the deplorable conditions that have ex Isted it, opr beloved city since last Saturday night; I would have ad dressed a communication to your hon. orable body' at Its session on yester day. but earnest and necessary work In other directions prevented my doing so or even being present at the meet Ing of your body. . "It i. to be- deeply regretted that such scenes as were presented upon our streets on last Saturday night should ever nave occurred, and I do not believe that they would have been possible on any other time during the week than Saturday night, when such large numbers of people are congre gated upon the streets. While there had been several beastly crimes at tempted -by .black; brutes upon white women durjng tne past few weeks, yet I do not believe that violence would have been resorted to If It had not been-for (lie Inflammatory, sensational newspaper extras-that were continual ly flooding the streets; and the reports they contained. In some Instances, were Upon Investigation found to be utterly void of any foundation. Such work ts a stigma upon reputable Journalism, and should be, ana I ■ believe will be, condemned by all clashes of opr people, t "I thoroughly understand that our people will not tolerate the .crime of a'g?tbat a punishment upon Innocent people. Ac cording to all the Information, that I l have' tho victims of 1 Saturday night’s outbreak Were Industrious, law-abiding negroes, who' had no' reason to expect Such treatment. While there were a 5 rent many people upon the streets, I o not believe that there were a great many actually engaged In riotous con duct. "It Is not necessary for me, at this time, to. address you at length, but I think It eminently proper to direct your attention to the preamble and resolu tions printed th thb dally press. They are the expressions of some of Atlan ta's foremost rltlaens, people who have no toleration or palliation for the crime of asssult,- yet they are people who condemn mob violence. "I hope that yovr honorable body will give this matter your earnest consid eration. The fair name of Atlanta be fore the world demands It, and I rec ommend that you offer such a reward HEARSTNOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR BY THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS\ trial, that Justice may be meted out to each one engaged. It should be suf ficient aatliBtctlon to those who desire to take the law Into their own hands when they are sure that they have the nctual criminal; and they should not kill nr punish an Innocent, law-abiding citizen for the vicious crime of a brute.
