The Poisoners. m
On Wednesday of last week the trial
of America Burden, alias Tate, for the
murder of Eliza Brawner, was com
menced. The testimony submitted show
ed conclusively that the administering
of the poison was premeditated, and
those who have read the particulars as
published heretofore in the Gazette,
will be fully satisfied of her guilt. Col.
J. D. Mathews and Gen. D. M. Dußoae
were appointed by the court to conduct
the defense, and had there been a shad
ow of plea upon which to hang an argu
ment, these gentlemen, from their known
ability, would have used every means in
their power to save the prisoner from
the scaffold. But the evidence was too
plain that America had been employed
to administer the fatal draught, that
when she went to the quilting she called
upon Ann Hunt, according to appoint
ment, to get the “dram," and that she
administered the same as she was in
structed to do. All this, we say, was
clearly set forth, and the jury could only
Bay “Guilty,” and let the law take its
course. The Judge delivered the sen
tence in an impressive manner, feeling the
importance of his solemn duty, and he
declared that she should be taken back
to jail, there to remain until the lst'of
May, thence taken to the scaffold, and
“hung by the neck until dead. And may
the Lord have mercy upon your soul.”
During the trial the same simplicity
marked the conduct of this poor wretch
as when before the County Court for
commitment. Indeed we were fully iin
pressed with the fact that sho had noth
ing liko a perfect realization of the fate
that awaited her. She is apparently dull
in intellect, slow of comprehension, and
loth to hope that some accident will step
between her and the scaffold. The soon
or her mind is relieved of this fruitless
hope the better it will be for her.
On Wednesday evening a jury was
empaneled for the trial of Anna Hunt,
charged with being accessory before tne
fact in the killing of Eliza Brawner,
•‘contrary to the laws of said State and
to the good order, peace and digni
ty thereof,” and Thursday morning the
trial commenced. Col. J. D. Mathews
and T. W. Rucker, were engaged for the
defence. The Solicitor General was as
sisted by E. P. Edwards, Esq. The tes
timony occupied a great portion of the
day, and this was followed by an able ar
gument by Sam Lumpkin, Esq., the
State’s attorney. He was succeeded by an
eloquent and telling speech from Col.
Mathews for the defence, and the case
at neaj ly night was given in charge of
tho jury.
The jury, though remaining out all
night, were ready, we understand, to
make their verdict after being out about
two hours.
The prisoner when brought into court
Wednesday evening, presented the ap
pearance of one who feels confident of
victory. Her manner at times, we
thought, were defiant. She is rather a
good looking girl, rather more of a brown
color than a black, and is said by those
who know her to possess remarkable
shrewdness. Many felt doubts of her
being convicted, although but few
douted her guilt. A conversation over
heard between her and America in jail
on Wednesday night dispelled all doubt
with the jury, and their duty, however
repugnaut was plain, and on Friday
morning after the court assembled they
brought in a verdict of “Guilty.” This
startled the prisoner in a measure from
her former composure, and she evidently
began to feel her desperate situation.—
The Judge administered a wholesome
lecture to Ann, and sentenced her to the
scaffold, to be hung on the same day
with America.
Pea-B'ooms and Moles.
'An old friend sends us word that he
has English peas in bloom, but that he
can’t do anything with the moles. We
recommend him to try catching them—
the moles, we mean—and paring their
toe-nails, and when his peas mature to
send ns a “mess” for trial, and be cer
tain they are peas.
CRIME.
A Lady Assaulted in Her Own House at
Night by a Negro.
On Wednesday night of last week,
Mrs. Slay, wife of Geo. Slay, was as
- by a negro in her house, in the
Flatwoods section of the county, at the
dead hour of night. The particulars, as
far as we have been able to gather them,
are as follows:
Some time after Mrs. Slay had gone to
! bed she was awakened by someone
bursting open the door and rushing into
the house. Jumping from the bed the
lady essayed to escape by the open door
but the man struck her—or ran against
her—and knocked her down outside the
door. After she fell the man gathered
•rocks and beat her on the head with
them, then, apparently believing her
dead, ran off. Mrs. Slay was convinced
the man was a negro by the peculiar ne
gro-like odor, and as he ran off, though
it was quite dark, she could see his form
and was convinced it was no other than
one Warren MacMurtry, a negro, who
she says had a grudge against her hus
band.
Returning into the house, Mrs. Slay
again got in bed, and her little son man
aged to fasten the door. A short while
after this she again heard someone at
the door, and, halloing to whoever it
was, she told him that if he would go
off and behave himself she would not
have him arrested. She was disturbed
no more that night.
In the morning when Mrs. Slay wen t
out she found that her hen-roost had
been robbed, and the smoke-house was
broken open—but no meat was missing,
as the burglar bad not found it.
On Thurdsay the negro was arrested
and brought to Elberton. The case was
brought before the Superior Court, then
in session, but there being some uncer
tainty as to the prisoner being the real
offender, a mis trial was entered, and the
case postponed until next term of court.
Bail was fixed at §I,OOO.
Robbery at Ruckersville.
Several houses in Ruckersville were
entered by some unknown party or par
ties, last Wednesday night, and mon
oy and clothing were appropriated with
a liberal hand. The boldness of the
thieves is shown by their entering the
sleeping apartments of two heads of
families, and actually stealing clothing
from the posts of the beds upon which
they slept. No clue to the thieves has
been obtained, that we have heard of,
and it is not known whether they were
white or black. Suspicions of drugs be
ing used are hinted.
Fire and Death,
On last Wednesday evening the dwell
ing house of Mrs. Lou Almand, who liv
ed about three miles above Elberton,
was completely consumed by fire. The
day was windy, and the chimney we un
derstand was built of dirt and logs, we
think therefore the supposition plausible
that the fire originated from the deficien
cy of the flue, perhaps otherwise.
It appears that Mrs. Almai and had gone
from home, and left the house in charge
of an old negro woman who was blind.
From indications, of course but few
could be found, it seemed that this old
unfortunate negro had done everything
in her power to save the house, but
without avail. Her body was found six
or eight feet from the house, which indi
cated that she had succeeded in making
her exit, blind as she was. The changed
positions of the water-bucket, and sever
al other articles showed plainly that she
had endeavored to save all she could as
well as quell the leaping flames. The
change in the situations of these articles
could be ascertained only by the position
of their ruins. When the body was
found life was extinct, as the old woman
was burnt to a crisp.
Mrs. Almand lost nearly everything
she possessed.
Who Furnished the Poison ?
In the conversation overheard between
America Burden and Anna Hunt, else
where alluded to, on Wednesday night,
America asked Ann who she got the poi
son from that she mixed up for Eliza
Brawner, and Ann gave her the desired
information. The name we think it pru
dent to withhold for the present, as, we
doubt not, diligent efforts will be used
to ascertain whether the ftu-nisher was
actuated by guilty motives. That the
party was a negro, is all that is
ry to say.
If an opposition can rejoice over suc
cessful rascality, it ought to be jubilant
over the triumph of the Rogues’ Attor
ney in the confirmation of Simmons as
Collector of Boston. It would appear
that the Democrats of the Senate did
not object to further the conspiracy
against all the decency of Republican
Massachusetts, and throw their votes so
as to secure its success. This course
they will try to justify on political
grounds, but it is none the less con
demned by sound political morals. But
this is their business and not ours.
Town and Oonnty.
Mud reigns supreme about this par
ish.
The weather has been falling around
here lately.
Court-week with all its charms has
passed.
Elberton is somewhat purified this
week, all the lawyers are away.
Both bars were well represented in
this burgh last week. The restaurant as
well as the legal.
“Take that pipe out of your mouth,
Mr. Bailiff,” said the Judge last week to
an old gentleman. The pipe vanished
instantly, we think a second-hand pipe
can be bought of him at a considerable
discount.
“ ’Tis barbarons to insult a fallen foe,”
said one drunken man to another the
other day when he was asked to take an
other drink.
“Come to the point, ‘life is short,’ ” re
marked a gentleman to a well-known
bore, who was talking about cow-peas
and “tater slips.”
Last week was more than usually
lively.
The month of March is very severe on
those who are unfortunate enough to be
of the feminine gender, owing to the
amount of dry-goods they are compelled
to propel.
We noticed a man the other day who
had retired on the streets about 11 oclock
a. m., bet you can't guess what was the
matter with him.
“ ’Twas on that beautiful moonlight
February. ‘The queen of night assert
ed her silent reign.’ The stars shone
with a brilliant brightness unequaled by
the luminous orb of day, not a sound
broke the silence, except, may it please
your Honor and gentlemen of the jury,
this negro boy sitting on a log seventy
five yards up the fence, picking on his
banjo,'’ so we heard a lawyer say last
week.
There is a certain man in town whom
we called a spy lately. “Don’t care if I
am,” ssid he, “I’m backed by ‘the chim
ney jury,’ ” we smole at him our sweet
est smile.
“We loathe that low vice, curiosity,”
said we to a Paid Pry on Monday, when
he asked us where we expected to go
wlieu we died if we didn’t turn our foot
steps.
Elberton will witness a couple of
hangings on Friday the Ist day of next
May, without accident.
Mr. J. L. Deadwyler is building a fowl
yard. We wish him
first fowl undertaking-- He expe ls
supply the market soon with eggs and
fowls.
We cannot let this week pass without
giving our devil a hoist. He wants to
know the differenc between a loafer in a
printing office, and an entrance to a sta
ble. We answered him correctly. One
is a bam door and the other is a darn
Lore.
Depredation of crime is becoming com
rr on in our county.
We heard of two men losing them
selves in Elberton court-week. Such is
life.
Quarterly meeting was held at Con
cord last Sabbath.
Peach-trees are blooming, if you doubt
our capability to determine whether or
not such is the case, bring your ocular
organs to examine into the exactness of
the declaration.
We understand that the two negroes
blown u p in a well last week, are recov
ering.
Our merchants are talking about go
ing to market.
The man that took a two bladed knife
out of this office within the last week, can
find the owner at the same place, and we
will promise to say nothing about it if you
return it; otherwise we will surely pub
lish you. “A word to the wise is suffi
cient.”

The Jail Door Tampered With. •
On Saturday morning last marks and
abrasures were discoved on and near
the door of the jail in Elberton, showing
some srion of stupidity had made an ef
fort to effect an opening the night pre
vious. Two marks were found on the
wall near the door, and fou£ indenta
tions made on the door, all evidently
made with a sledge or other heavy ham
mer. The party making this demonstra
tion was certainly unacquainted with the
structure —he will become acquainted
with the interior by-and-by—-of he would
never have engaged in such child’s play.
Thanks to the enterprise of our county,
we have criminal lodging that will resist
almost anything but gunpowder and
earthquakes.

Grand Jury Presentments.
We the Grand Jurors chosen, selected
and sworn for the March Term Elbert
Superior Court, 1874, make the following
General Presentments:
We have through appropriate com
mittees examined the books and records
of the Ordinary and Clerk of the Superi
or Court, and find them neatly and cor
rectly kept. We have also inspected the
books and accounts of the County Treas
urer, and report them neatly and cor
rectly kept, and can but congratulate the
county in having so efficient an officer in
charge of this department. The cash on
hand in the County Treasury, is ascer
tain jd to be §3,168 41. Upon examin
ation of the Tax Collector's books, we
find that the Collector is now due the
county §7BB 06 less commissions and
insolvent list. We find the Jail neatly
and well kept, the inmates properly cared
for. The floors of both the lower cells
we find need some repairs, which we
recommend be done as early as practica
ble. The Courthouse we find generally
in good condition, except the blinds and
the floor in the room occupied by the
County Judge. We recommend these
repairs be made at once, and that a lock
be put on the door of the Jury rooms,
and a tub be placed in the bar to receive
the waste water. The public roads
tliroughout the county we report as
being generally in bad condition, and es
pecially the road leading from Elberton
to Martin’s ferry on Broad river, and the
road leading from John M. f Brewer’s to
Clark’s mill on Beaverdam creek, and we
would earnestly call the attention of the
road commissioners to this matter, and
recommend a prompt performance of the
duty required of them by law.
We recommend that a public road be
laid out, beginning at a point on the
Carnesville road, known as the old Hunt
place, and running thence over the lands
of Mrs. Rebecca White, thence over Wil
liam White’s lands by Adam’s mill, cross
ing Beaverdam creek at Turner’s mill,
and intersecting the Hartwell road at a
point about half a mile above Mrs. Mar
tha Harper’s, with the understanding
that said road is to be no expense to the
county.
We recommend that good and sub
stantial bridges be ITuilt at the following
places, and the following sums be ex
pended to erect the same, to wit: S9OO
to be applied to thß building of a bridge
at Brewer’s mill, just below the junction
of North and prongs of Beaver
dam creek. The sum of §9OO at Gaines’
old mill on Cold Water creek.
Tire Grand Jury recommend that the
County Judge appoint three responsi
ble citizens as commissioners living in
the neighborhood of such places where
said bridges are to be built, the commis
sioners to be in no way connected with
the contract for building said bridges.—
The Grand Jury recommend that the
pillars of said bridges be built of good
split granite rock of sufficient size, and
pieced on a solid foundation, and that
said commissioners require the parties
who contract to build said bridges to
give bond and security for a faithful per-
of the same according to con
tr r ct. : -
We recommend that the Judge of the
County Court require the parties who
contracted to build the bridge across
Dove’s creek at Oliver’s mill to complete
said bridge according to specifications,
and if they will not do the same, to have
it completed by others, and institute pro
ceeding against the original contractors
for failure to comply with their contract,
and also instruct the Treasurer of said
county, not to pay the orders passed by,
said County Judge for the building of
said bridge until the same is completed
according to the plan and specifications.
The Grand Jury learn through the
committee appointed for that purpose
that the County Asylum is neatly and
well kept, the paupers satisfied, and we
recommend that the present method of
keeping the same be continued. The
well we leam is slightly out of order, and
we recommend the same to be repaired
at once.
The committe who examined books of
the Justices of the Peace of the several
districts of the county, report them cor
rectly kept.
We recommend that the Judge of the
County Court appoint a committee of
three discreet mfen to investigate the
propriety of selling the present asylum
of the county, and purchasing a more
suitable and convenient site for the same,
who shall report the result of their in
vestigations at the March term of the Su
perior Court 1875.
We have elected Augustus Bailey, E.
B. Norman, George Loehr, D. M. Carlton,
and W. T. Andrews, County Board of
Education, provided for by the public
school laws of this State, and recommend
that they organize at once.
We recommend that the sum of SSOO
be assessed and paid the County Judge
for his services in criminal matters and
county business.
We recommend that the Ordinary be
paid $25 for indexing books in office.
We recommand that J. A- Sanders,
Jai or, be paid seventy-five cents a day
for dieting the inmates of the Jail, to
take effect from the 12th day of March,
1874,
We recommend that Mrs. Bradshaw be
paid $5 for furnishing coffin and burying
Nancy Bradshaw a pauper of said coun
ty-
We recemmend that R. C. Adams, Sr.,
be paid S2O a quarter, for supporting
and taking care of Mrs. Perryman a pau
per of said county. We do not favor
outside appropriations but feel that this
is an exceptionable case.
After hearing the application and
proof of the same, we allow J. L. Dead
wyler $lO his account rendered, J. P.
Shannon S2O his account rendered, J. I.
Chandler sl2 50 his acct. rendered, E.
R. Fortson and I. C. Campbell $3 accts.

$2 50 his acct. rendered, Sam Lumpkin,
Solicitor General s6l acct rendered, W.
R. Edwards $23 36 aect. rendered, and
J. B. Guess $1 50 acct. rendered.
We recommend, two thirds of our body
having concurred therein, that over and
above other taxes authorized by law,
there be levied for county purposes fifty
per cent, upon the amount of the State
tax for the year 1874.
The Grand Jury recommend that the
compensation for jurors be §2 a day as
heretofore.
In conclusion we would beg His Hon
or, Judge Pottle to accept our thanks
for the courtesy he has extended to us,
and especially for the clear and judicious
manner with which he explained the du
ties which devolved upon this body.
To the Solicitor General, Samuel
Lumpkin, Esq., we return thanks for the
attentive and intelligent consideration
he has given to all business which has
brought him before our body.
