AUGUST MARRIAGES,
An Off-Month In the Matrimonial Mar
ket and Little Doing.
During the past month Philip Russell,
Jr., Clerk of the Court of Ordinary, issued
5 marriage licensee, 28 to colored appli
cants and 7to white. This is the small
est number of licenses issued for any
month since the beginning of the pres
ent year. Among the licenses was
one granted to a colored man
named Blow to marry a young woman
named Strike. Another license was is
sued to a colored couple, each of whom
was 8* years of age. When the old
man received the document from the
Clerk he turned to him and said exult
ingly: ‘Tsegotum! Ila. ha, ha! An’

Records Dating Back One Hundred and
Forty-two Years—The First Marriage
j License Issued in 1800—The Oldest
Estate—General Conrt Statistics.
In consequence of the absence Irom the
I city of attorneys, representatives of
j estates, and others, the business of the
Court of Ordinary for the August term
fell far short of the amount usually trans
acted. In addition to the routine work of
auditing accounts of executors, adminis
trators, trustees and guardians, and re
cording accounts and vouchers, the fol
lowing matters were disposed of by Judge
Ferrell:
DISPOSITION OF ESTATES.
In the estate of Charlotte M. Sweat let

plication, relief was granted to one of the
sureties, an order of substitution was
made and anew bond tendered and ac
cepted.
In the estate of Sarah A. Falligant, her

thorizing the sale of an interest in a lot
of land.
In the matter of the joint application
of William H. Woodhouse, Justice of the
Peace, and Sigmund Elsinger, Notary
Public and ex-officio Justice of the Peace,
orders were granted directing the chang
ing of the time and place of holding their

A number ot orders were granted in
reference to the appointment of agents
and compromising claims of estates.
Several warrants were also issued for
lunacy.
A GOOD YEAR FOR MARRIAGES.

ing News is indebted to Clerk Philip M.

THE OLDEST ESTATE ON RECORD.
The records of estates, divisions of
property, returns and general business of
executors, administrators, trustees and
guardians, date from the year 1742, the
oldest estate on record being that of Mr.
George Threadcraft, whose will was filed
and probated on April 29, of that year,
and the appraisement of which was
£3.332 12s.
The estates which have passed through
the court, and which have been adjudi

THE FIRST MARRIAGE LICENSE.
The record of marriages and certificates
of officiating clergymen and judicial offi
cers began in the’ year 1880. The first
license was issued for Matthias Manning to
marry Mary Susannah Whitley, a widow,
and was granted by Edward White, Clerk
of the Court of Ordinary, in January, 1808.
Bh'c was performed by John
Pooler, Jofetice of the Peace. The record
of marriages and certificates for colored
began in the year 1865. The first
license issued was for David Freeman to
marrv Rose C. Smith in the month ot
November of that year. The ceremony
was performed bv Rev. T. J. Staley.
The number of packages of estates
on record is 135, all of Wuici ?. rft
alphabetically and systematically ar
ranged in one index, commencing from
1742 and so constructed as to run to 1942.
This is probably the largest general in
dex in the State. The number of large
size record books used In recording re
turns of representatives of estates is 82.
Double that number are used for
bonds, divisions of estates, invento
ries and appraisements, widows’
year’s support, account sales, dockets, ap
prenticeship records, homestead ex
etmptions, letters of dismissory, letters of
administration, testamentary, guardian
ships, etc.
The jurisdiction of the court is exten
sive, and under the present laws it is one
of the most important tribunals
in the State. Mr. Russell, the
present Clerk, has been connect
ed with the office for a number of
years, and has held a clerical position in
the court house for the past twenty-three
years almost consecutively. Few offices
are more systematically arranged or bet
ter conducted, and the papers and books
are in a remarkable state of preservation,
owing to the fact that they are not al
lowed out of the office under any circum
stances.
THE CITY COURT.
The Business of Yesterday’s Hcssion—

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 1884.
SOME BUSY CANDIDATES.
ASPIRANTS FOR LEGISLATIVE
AND JUDICIAL HONORS.
Chatham County's Contest for the Low
er House—The Senatorial Sit—The
Solicitorshlp Race—A Ylgorous Cam
paign in Local Politics.
The sphere of local politics is assuming
a very noticeable activity. The familiar
policy on the part of thj friends of every
man who is seeking office, to make posi
tive claims as to the strength of their fa
vorite, is showing itself. The mass meet
ing for selecting delegates to the Senato
rial Convention, and for nominating can
didates for the lower house of the Legis
lature has been called for Sept. 11.
An exciting contest is anticipated. The
convention to which delegates will be
sent will nominate a State Senator to
succeed the present incumbent. Hon. P.
W. Meldrim. The mass meeting will
place in nomination three candidates for
the lower house, to succeed Hon. Robert
Falligant,Hon. J. J. McDonough and Hon.
Geo. S. Owens.
In the Senatorial contest consid
erable interest is felt. It is not an
nounced whether Mr. Meldrim will be a
candidate for renomination or not. The
district is composed of three counties—
Chatham, Bryan and Effingham. Bryan,
it is understood, claims the right by rota
tion to name the candidate. Among the
names prominently suggested for the hoqor
is that of Hon. R. E. Lester. Capt.
Falligant, it is understood, will also
be put lorward by his friends. The con
vention has not yet been called, and
others may be put in the field. There has
been no open personal canvass and it is
understood that the nomination is un
sought by either of the gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned. .
The candidacy for Representative hon
ors will furnish the most interesting field.
The excitement has already begun. So
far as is known none of the present in
cumbents will be candidates for renomi
nation. Among the names hinted at as
those of possible candidates, are Col.
Peter Reillv, Col. William Garrard, Maj.
G. M. Ryals, Maj. John Schwarz.
R. R. Richards, Esq., and P. J.
O’Connor, Esq. Capt. Falligant, it
is rumored, may be a candidate,
but will be more likely to figure in the
Senatorial contest.
With the election of Solicitor and
Judge of the Supreme Court be
fore the Legislature, the influence of
candidates for these offices has
an important bearing on the nominations.
The candidates for Solicitor Irom
the Eastern Circuit are Wm. Clif
ton, Esq., and Hon. F. G. Dußignon. In
the Judgeship there is very little inter
est felt, for the reason that the present in
cumbent, Judge Adams, will practically
have no opposition.
The candidates for the Solicitorship
are making an active canvass. Both
gentlemen have strong political backing,
and the contest will be a sharp one. Mr.
Charlton, it is understood, did not desire
a renomination, and has not been at any
time in the race.
The entire political field is in an unset
tled state. The knowing ones profess
total ignorance of the situation to news
paper inquisitors, and beyond hearsay it
is full of uncertainties.
CRICKET IN SAVANNAH.
The English Sport that Base Ball Has
Succeeded—Savannahians whe Have
Stood at the Wickets.
Twenty-five years ago very little was
known about base ball in Savannah. The
Savannah Cricket Club was then the ath
letic institution which held sway in the
hearts of Savannahians. The club had its
grounds on the field south of the jail, and
held regular semi-weekly meetings. Al
though the English national game was
new to the young men of Savannah, who
had been educated in town ball, yet .they
proved worthy competitors for the honors
of the game, and frequently wrested
the championship from their English
friends, who had been at the wickets from
boyhood. Like many other institutions
cricket has succumbed to the American
national game, and the bat and wickets
are now a thing of the past. The follow
ing, from the Savannah Jlepublican of
Nov. 5,1859, will recall to many the sport
ing events which attracted the attention
of the people at that time:
A match was played by sides chosen by
Messrs. St. Croix and Armitage. The play
was excellent. Two innings each sale were
had, the side headea by Mr. St. Croix scoring
87 runs on the first ana 48 on the second. Mr.
Armitage’s side scored 62 and 14. The cham
pion of the day was Mr. J. B. Ripley, who
took the bat first and remained in one hour,
scoring 33 runs on the first and 11 on the
second innings. This is the best play ever
made on the ground. The whole day was
consumed in tire play, the members regaling
themselves with a lunch in the afternoon,
which had been prepared for the occasion.
We would add that Mr. Ripley was as good
on the field as at the bat, having caught out
two of the best plavers and hardest hitters.
The New York Spirit of the Times , of
Nov. 19, in the same year, gives the score
ot the game. The names of most of the
players, Benjamin Green, Gilbert Rice,
W. B. Jackson, S. B. Parkman, W. S.
Taylor, and perhaps some others who
have since died, are familiar to many
citizens to-day. The score will be read
with interest, and is reproduced below:

A COOL SUMMER.
Wliat the Signal Service Statistics Show
—Something About High and Low
Barometer—A Reminder of the Storm
of 1889,
The summer which closes to-day has
not been so remarkable a summer me
teorologically as many suppose. The ag
gregate hot weather has been really as
great as during former years, but coming
at irregular intervals the hot spells have
not been so severely felt as if the swelter
ing wave had been continuous. The
mean height of the barometer has
been below that of last year, which
would naturally indicate hotter weather.
But counteracting influences have been
favorable, and Savannah has not suffered
from extreme heat for any length of time.
July 6 was the hottest day of the summer.
The thermometer registered 96 at the
Signal Station. Thermometers in dif
ferent parts of the city that, were in con
tact with metals or the sides of buildings,
and which absorbed the heat radiated
from adjacent structures, may have regis
tered from one to five degrees higher, but
the Signal Service Station has the proper
exposure to get the exact temperature of
the atmosphere.
The humidity on July 6 averaged about
64 degrees. The barometer was below the
mean. The maximum temperature reach
ed during the entire summer from April
has been considerably below that of last
year. The following comparative state
ment will show the maximum height
which the mercury has reached:
1884.
April. May. June. July. August.
87 90 91 96 92
1883.
April. • May? June. July. August.
' 85 91 97 99.5 95
The hottest day during the month which
closes to-day was the 4th, when the mer
cury reached 92 degrees. The barometric
observations have shown the temperature
to be irregular. To understand the sig
nificance of the phrases “high” and “low”
barometer it should be borne in mind that
the barometer is a measure of the weight
ol the air. The column of mercury in
the tube of the thermometer is balanced
by the column of air resting upon the
mercury in the bulb. The atmosphere is
lightest when it is warm and humid, and
the barometer falls. It is heaviest when
it is cold and dry, and the thermometer
rises. Like as any other fluid would be
have under similar circumstances, the air
flows from where it is heavy to where it
is light, and the phrase “cold wave”
literally describes the physical fact.
If the air was densely colored like sea
water its surface to a celestial observer
would present the appearance of an
ocean with waves on a gigantic scale, and
the “significance” of the phrase, “trough
of low pressure,” used in the weather re
ports, would be a visual phenomenon.
The closer together the area of highest
barometer and area of lowest barometer
the more violent are the winds, the high
wave, of course, falling into the deep hol
low with greater force and rapidity than
where the elevation and depression are
moderate. The barometric observations
made simultaneously over an extensive
area of country gives notice of the hills
and hollows in the air, thus affording data
for predicting the direction of the aerial
currents. Other instruments give the
humidity of air and the point of tempera
ture at which precipitation of moisture
takes place, and it is upon such data that
the weather prognostications of a signal
service are based.
The storm which passed over and
around the city yesterday afternoon was
not so violent as many supposed. The
continuous thunder and lightning, and
the heavy rain which fell for a short time,
gave the impression that it was more ex
tended than it really was. The rain
gauge at the Signal Station showed a fall
of a little over an inch and a half, which
is considerably less than during the heavy
showers earlier in the summer. The wind
blew fresh, and for about five minutes
moved at a velocity of 24 miles an hour.
It was quickly over and no damage of
any extent was reported. At Tybee the
storm was even less violent than in the
city. As it began to blow many recalled
the great storm of 1881, and some of the
more timid were fearful of a recurrence
of that dread disaster.
MOVING TOWARDS NEW ORLEANS.
The Exhibition Association at Work—
The City to be Canvassed for Contribu
tions This Week.
Chatham county is waking up to the
importance of a vigorous move towards a
representation ol her interests at the New
Orleans Exposition. The Collection Com
mittee of the Chatham Exhibition Asso
ciation will call upon the citizens of
Savannah this week and solicit their aid
in raising funds to secure a proper ex
hibit of her resources and business.
Commissioner Harden has issued a cir
cular to the committee containing some
interesting facts as to the character and
nature of the exposition, showing the im
portance of Georgia having there an ex
hibit worthy of her rank among the
States.
In answer to the question as to what
stand Georgia should take he says:
It is not in her power to determine whether
or not she will be represented. She has no
choice. The alternative is thrust upon her
of exhibiting her industry, her enterprise,
and her resources—op her apathy and indif
ference to her own interests. We, her sons,
boast that she is the Empire State of the
South. We must maintain our prestige, or
lose it, The money to be raised there
fore, is not to benefit the exposition,
or to glorify New Orleans; it is to
do justice to ourselves, and ena
ble us to keep our relative position among the
Southern States-to insure our continued
prosperity by still further developing our re
sources—by drawing to our State capital, and
muscle, and brains; by keeping at home what
we already have, and by attracting more of
the same class of people who hare made
Georgia what she is. To do this we must
spend money.
Virginia lias appropriated towards a proper
exhibit $50,000; North Carolina, in addition to
her collection of minerals, which cost $17,000,
has appropriated $50,000; South Carolina,
SIO,OOO, and expects to raise by voluntary sub
scription SIO,OOO more: Tennessee, $20,000;
Florida, $27,000, and $3,000 from the Disston
Land Company: Alabama, SIO,OOO from the
State and SIO,OOO from subscriptions; Louis
iana, as a State, $100,000; New Orleans,
as a city, SIOO,OOO, and by subscriptions,
$500,000 Texas besides voluntary collec
tions, $20,000. It remains to be seen
what Georgia will do. The money raised is
to be used in getting together the various ar
ticles to be exhibited; in fitting up properly
the space to be occupied at the Exposition; in
makirg suitable cabinets of native woods for
the exhibition of various products in this sec
tion, cotton, rice, naval stores, fruits, vege
tables, grain, timber, lumber, woods, herbs,
soils with analysis, full statistics prepared
and published in readable form, illustrated by
cuts, plates, photographs, maps and charts,
setting forth our advantages of location, cli
mate, soil, facilities for transacting business
—in short, advertising our advantages to the
world.
The necessity for asking voluntary contri
butions is briefly this: The framers of the
present constitution have so worded it that the
Governor and the Attorney General, in fact
all the State authorities, hold that the Legis
lature can make no appropriation of any sort
for the purpose. Whether this view be cor
rect or not,or whether such provision onght
to have been put in the constitution, are mat
ters which it would be futile to discuss; they
are existing facts. The Legislature does not
meet until November, too late to doany good,
even if it had the power to appro
priation, because, as the Kxpr 4“ s Jjftpens on
Dec. 1, next, ail our must be
made and expenses incurred '|K; before that
time; and as the - absolutely
get no compensation, either ■ or indi
rectly, save the consciousness iOtelping to
sustain the honor of Georgia, it fflWd not be
expected that they should assume the risk and
responsibility of incurring debts before the
means of payment were sure.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
What a Level-Headed, Practical Mai
Has to Say About It.
Editor Morning Newst Your editorial
in Saturday’s paper on the fire question
seems to me to be so sensible that I beg to
thank you for it, and I agree with you
that either volunteers or paid members
must go. It has always been a pet idea
with me that we should have a full paid
department. No holiday firemen or a
place to hide from jury duty.
Then the question of pay comes up, and
we are met by the argument that the city
cannot afford it. We must not add to our
expenses until we grow more, but I think
I can show you that a full paid depart
ment can lessen our expenses.
To be brief and come to the point: I
would consolidate the Street Cleaning
Department with the Fire Department.
Divide the city into as many districts as
you have engines, and put one engine
In each district, and not have them all in
cne section or the city, as at present.
Then make each company responsible for
the condition of the streets and squares
in its district, and they will be at all
times ready to respond to an alarm ot fire.
1 don’t think, however, I could recom
mend the present street force as firemen,
for if they could not get up a ladder any
quicker than they now walk across the
street (unless “the little boss is coming”),
they would not make very efficient fire
men. But Ido think men could be found
that would be efficient in both places.
H.
CARING FOR THE ORPHANS
A WORTHY BENEVOLENT INSTI
TUTION.
The Episcopal Orphans’ Home—History
of Its Organization—lts Growth and
Progress—lts Present Needs—Details
of Its Management.
On March 3, 1853, a number of ladies
belonging to Christ Church parish met at
the residence of Mrs. Francis S. Bartow
and perfected an organization, the object
of which was to found an Episcopal
Orphans’ Home. The organization was
the outgrowth of a parochial
school first established by Mrs. Mary El
listt a few years previous and where
orphan boys and girls belonging to the
parish were taught the rudiments of an
English education. The character and
purpose of the school w r ere modified from
time to time until the meeting of ladies
above referred to was suggested
A PERMANENT HOME.
The new institution undertook to pro
vide a refuge for boys as well as girls,
and for a time received both under its
protection. This was subsequently
deemed unwise and impracticable, and
the boys were sent to the Orphan House at
Bethesda. Before they were removed the
two-story frame building, located on the
southwest corner of Jefferson and Liberty
streets, formerly owned by Wallace Cum
mings, Esq., anil for a time occupied as a
residence by Hon. E. Molyneux, the
British Consul, and afterwards by Air.
Foote,was secured until the structure and
the lot upon which it stands were turned
over to the home.
THE PRESENT BUILDING.
The building was an old one in 1854,
since which time it has been somewhat
improved. The board of directresses have
been compelled, however, to frequently
repair it at an expenditure of money
which has continually operated as a bur
den upon the organization, and has placed
it at a disadvantage in the work which
it is seeking to accomplish.
THE RECORDS LOST.
A number of the original records of the
institution were lost or destroyed during
the war and it is Impossible to learn what
or the number of children under its charge
averaged from year to year prior to then,
what it cost the board annually to main
tain it. But the Home emerged from sev
eral trying vicissitudes, due to the zeal of
its managers, who secured contributions
necessary to meet the running expenses.
HOW IT 18 MAINTAINED.
The ladies were also fortunate in ob
taining some investments in city bonds
and in the stock of the Southwestern Rail
road, from which they are able now to de
fray the greater portion of the current
expenses. Last year $2,204 77 were paid
on this account. Some years the expense
is more, and during but few years has it
been less.
A reporter of the Morning News was
informed yesterday that thirty girls are
now in the institution, the youngest
being 4 years old and the eldest nearly 18.
These, together with the matro and an
female assistant, occupy eight rooms,
the two largest being about 20 feet square.
One of these is used as a reception room
and the other as a dining and school room.
PURCHASING THE FOOD.
In the former room three meals are served
daily. The diet is plain but wholesome,
fresh meat being served almost daily, un
der the direction of Miss Tunno, who vis
its the market and personally directs the
purchases. The groceries are purchased
by the month by a committee appointed
from the Board of Directresses.
The children are instructed in the
rudiments of an English education and
in household work. Those who show an
aptitude for instrumental or vocal music
are encouraged to master the elements of
these studies.
ABLE TO EARN A LIVELIHOOD.
Hence, when any of the girls are' 18
years old, the period when their life at the
Home practically ceases, they are quali
fied to earn their own livelihood.
The first directress, Miss Basinger, said
to the reporter that the girls who had left
the Home during the past two or three
years had proven without exception to be
a credit to the institution.
The general health ol the orphans is
good. Dr. J. G. Thomas, the visiting
physician, contributes his services, and
calls regularly.
THE INSTITUTION’S NEEDS.
The need of anew building is apparent.
The institution is crowded and a number
of deserving applicants have been re
luctantly refused admission. The rooms
are ill suited to the purposes of a
home, and the woodwork is generally too
old to admit of repair. Even the sash
frames hold the window lights with a
feebleness indicative of their antiquity.
The lot is large enough to furnish a site
for anew building and the Board of Direc
tresses merit generous assistance in their
desire to raise means to supply a struc
ture adequate to their needs.
The board is composed of sixteen ladies,
whose officers are as follows:
First Directress—M iss E. G. Basinger.
Second Directress—Mrs. Rufus E. Les
ter.
Secretary—Mrs. William Harden.
The office of Treasurer is vacant on ac
count of the death of Mrs. H. Griffin.
THE UO-AS-YOU-PLEASE.
The Entries for the Fifty-Hour Tramp—
The Winner Backed for 200 Miles.
The aspirants for pedestrian honors in
the fifty-hour go-as-you-please, which
begins at St. Andrew’s Hall on Thursday,
are Jn active training for the event. In
the preliminary practice some fine walk
ing has been accomplished. The entries
have closed and the arrangements for the
match are about complete. The follow
ing are the names on the manager’s list,
with their trainers:
John McCarthy (Og jechee John)—Trainer,
Philip Homan.
Pat McCarthy—Trainer, George Weston.
11. J. Davis—Trainer, Robert Glass.
George 11. Wreford—Trainer, C. Wallace
Campbell.
Thomas Carrig—Trainer, P. Buttimer.
Pat Murphey—Trainers, H. Y. Ferrell and
P. Kearney.
Joe Taylor—Trainers, George Redgate and
George Bossel.
Ralph Haskins—Trainer unknown.
J. F. Mitchell—Truiner unknown.
The scorers will be L. P. Masters and
W. T. Sullivan.
The pool selling will he in charge of W.
P. Birch.
Ladies will be invited to visit the match
during the afternoons and will be
admitted at half price. The manage
ment promise that the best order will be
' maintained and no objectionable persons
will be admitted to the hall.
The score will be reported on a large
black-board, the laps being counted on a
board arranged for this purpose and in
troduced for the first time in Savannah.
A spectator on entering can see at once
by referring to the boards how many miles
and laps each pedestrian has covered.
The contestants will be known by num
bers during the match, and will be tallied
by these numbers instead of by name.
HThe start will he made Thursday night,
and indications point to the best pedes
trian record ever made in the State. The
winner will be backed to cover 200 miles.
Peale's Popular Educator.
“A useful book may live from day to day,
And those unborn may read its printed pages.”
This work contains more valuable facts,
shown in a clearer manner, than any
book of the kind heretofore published.
Beading a daily paper suggests questions.
Children are growing up and ask ques
tions, and their school books suggest
more queries than can be readily answer
ed. Intelligent people can hardly talk
with each other without being reminded
how much more the facts they are ignor
ant of exceed those they know. The
question is, how can they inform them
selves briefly and quickly? Peale’s
Cyclopedia aims to supply the want. It
is a compendium of knowledge of all the
affairs entering into everyday life. The
book is arranged in an attractive style
in small compass, and the information
needed is readily found and easily under
stood. The “Educator” also illustrates
the beauty and utility of object teaching,
which is engaging special attention by all
who are interested in the progress of
education. The work is a valuable one to
the merchant, the mechanic, the lawyer,
the teacher and the scholar. The book is
being sold by canvassers.

COMMISSIONED.
What can I do for thee, beloved,
Whose feet a little while ago
Trod the same wayside dust with mine,
And now up paths I do not know.
Speed without sound or sign?
What can I do? The perfect life*
All fresh and fair and beautiful,
Has opened its wide arms to thee;
Thy cup is overbrimmed and full.
Nothing remains for me.
I used to do so many things.
Love thee, and chide thee, and caress,
Brush little straws from off thy way,
Tempering with my poor tenderness
The heat of thy short day.
Not much, but very sweet to give;
And it is grief of griefs to bear,
That all theee ministries are o’er,
And thou, so happy, love, elsewhere.
Dost need me never more.
And I can do for thee but this;
(Working on blindly, knowing not
If I may give thee pleasure so;)
Out ol my own dull shadowed lot,
I can arise, and go
To sadderjlives and darker homes,
A messenger, dear heart from thee
Who wast on earth a comforter;
And say to those who welcome me,
I am sent forth by her.
Feeling the while how good it is
To do thy errands thus and think
It may be in the blue far space.
Thou watchest from the heaven’s brink,
A smile upon thy face.
And when the day’s work ends with day,
And star-eyed evening stealing in.
Waves her cool hand to flying noon
And restless, surging thoughts begin
Like sad bells out of tune.
I’ll pray. Dear Lord, to whose great love
Nor bound, nor limit-line is set,
Give to my darling, 1 implore,'
Some new, sweet joy, not tasted yet.
For I can give no more.
And with the words mv thoughts shall climb
With following feet the heavenly stair
Up which thy feet so lately sped,
And seeing thee so happy there
Come back half comforted.
—Susan Coolidgs.
THE HAERTEL MURDER.
What One of the Coroner’s Jury Says
About the Dark Tragedy.
Editor Morning News: I cannot see why
the Haertel prisoners in the Haertel mur
der case were turned out of jail. Since
you called attention to the anniversary of
that terrible crime, in your issue of Aug.
27, the Coroner’s jury is again being cen
sured to some extent, and I, as one of the
jurors in that celebrated case, am. now
and always will be of the opinion that the
Haertel murderers have at one time been
in Chatham county jail, and 1 know the
other members of the jury are of the same
opinion. Now, I will give the public my
reasons for what 1 say. First of all, we,
the jury, did not know positively at
the time the mob was about to take the
jail whether the murderers were in there
or not, but under our sworn verdict,
tounded on the plain evidence we had,
we thought we were right. Our verdict
was as follows: Jonas Jackson and
Thomas Hamilton guilty. Our principal
witness, Willie Green, said that on the
Sunday morning on which the murder
was committed his father sent him early
in the morning to the Haertel shop for
horse feed; that he went up to the resi
dence door and knocked, and Jonas Jack
son, one of the parties who was charged
with the murder, came to the door and
put his head out and looked up and down
the road, and told him to wait, that he
would be back directly; that Jackson
then shut the door, and that he never saw
him again until he saw him in the jail.
Green said he remained on the stoop a
'little while waiting for Jackson to come
back and give him the feed, but as Jack
son did not come back, he went home.
Coroner Sheftall, the Coroner’s brother,
Green and myself went to the jail one
night. We had six prisoners brought out
and placed in a line, Jackson on the far
corner from Willie. I noticed that. Jack
son, when taking his position, pulled his
hat down over his face. Willie was then
asked if he saw the man in the crowd
whom he had seen at the store. He went
directly to Jackson and put his hand on
him, and said ‘That is the man.” I asked
him “How do you know that is the man ?”
He replied, “I know him by his one eye,
and they call him Jack.” At this moment
Jackson hung his head on the mantelpiece
and wept. Now as to why we found Ham
ilton also guilty:
The statement of Thomas Hamilton’s
wife to me while he was in jail was as
follows: At first she said Hamilton was
not out of his bed all night and that he
did not leave the house, but on this par
ticular occasion she thought that she
would tell the truth after I had further
questioned her. 1 asked her if she knew
where she would go if she died in the
delicate condition she then was in if she
told a lie. She replied that she would tell
the truth, and she then said that Hamil
ton never came in the house “until day
clean,” that he was out all night. I
thought then something was wrong.
Both men, Jackson and Hamil
ton, had already stated that
they were both at home all night,
and were not out at all. Neither man
gave any account of their whereabouts on
that night. They contended that they
were at home. On my way out of the jail
Hamilton stopped me and said, “I am go
ing to tell you the truth.” He then told that
on the morning of the murder Jackson
told him that he (Jackson) had killed the
party. These are the very words he made
use of. Coroner Sheftall was present and
heard both of these statements. Had
these prisoners never been turned out of
jail my opinion is that other facts
would have been found out that
would have fastened the crime
upon the guilty pffKies • beyond
the shadow of a doubt. Cases similar to
this, with less evidence, have often been
brought to trial. Had this case been
brought to court something would have
been developed from it. There is surely
something wrong somewhere. One thing
certain, the jury did their duty, and should
not be censured. Had this thing happened
out West or In any other country out this
it would|have been ferreted out long ago.
Let a suitable reward be offered, and let
sensible, shrewd men take hold of the
case, and it is probable that the guilty
parties will be found.
