From the Atlanta Herald]
The Rome Courier of the 16th inat.,
raises its sturdy voice and Bays :
“If Bullock, Blodgett and Kimball
have been guilty of fauds to rob the
State, why don’t the proper authorities
bring them to account ? All of them, it
is well known, left the State very pre
cipitately upon the downfall of the
Bullock dynasty. Kimball is the only
one of them who has had the boldness
to.return. Bullock and Blodgett are
still refugees from justice, and their
whereabouts are well known. If they
are guilty of fraud and peculations,
and have robbed the State, why do not
the State authorities bring them to
justice ? If they are inocent, why don’t
they voluntarily return and demand
investigation, and save their reputation
from unjust obloquy ?
If these men are guilty of rascality,
why, we ask in all honesty and justice
to the State and people of Georgia, are
they not brought from their refugee
homes to answer for crimes they are
daily charged with having committed?
It is not the Governor’s duty to take
the necessary steps to have these men
brought to the bar of justice ? It is not
due to their reputation ? And if they
are innocent they, ought to do so. Would
such an investigation expose corruption
on the part of Democrats in the sale
and purahase of the opera house for a
State capitol, one of the greatest frauds
ever perpetrated upon an honest peo
ple ? Would it show up the Demooratio
eed lobbyists who aided in the mani
pulation of that job as well as other
similar frauds upon the State ? Is this
what is meant when it is intimated
that there are Democrats who would
pay more for the non-publication of
of Blodgett’s book than he could hope
to realize from its sale ?”
Armed with the above conundrums,
Herald reporter wended his way to
the Executive office and found Gov.
Smith, as usual, ready to answer any
inquires that were pertinent to the com
mon weal and consistent with his sense
of propriety and discretion.
Reporter—The press is asking, Gov
ernor, why it is that Foster Blodgett
and Bullock are not levied on by your
Executive requisition and brought' be
fore Georgia law for trial.
Gov. Smith—I am ready to make a
requisition at any time for Blodgett, if
any one should make application for
metodoso. There are reasons which,
to my mind, are good for resting the
matter, as it stands, on this ground. I
will make the requisition when it is ap
plied for.
Reporter—It was said when the vol
unteer military of the State was reor
ganized, that some counties bordering
on South Carolina were attended to first,
and that the object of this was to have
a military force ready to go over into
South Carolinaand take Blodgett bodily.
Of course there is no foundation for this
absurd rumor.
Governor—It is perfectly wild and
nonsensical. No sane person could
attribute such an idea for a moment to
a sane executive officer.
Reporter—What about Governor
Bullock ?
Governor—I tried to get Bullock, and
at a cost of 81,200 to the State the ef
fort was unsuccessful. I do not know
where Bullock is now. It is said he is
at Albion, New York. Where he
might b'e found is another. I am al
ways ready to give any information in
my power to tlie people but my pri
vate reasons for official action or non
action in matter of State, it is not nec
essary always to give. The action is
in what I consider to be good grounds
in view of all the facts in my posses-
tion. It is neither wise nor important
to discuss these private reasons at all
times.
Reporter—Are there any further de
velopments in connection with the
Treasury matter ?
Governor—Oh, no 11 do not propose
to say anything on that subject. No
doubt tho whole matter will fall under
the attention of the Legislature. Their
examination and report wilk be for the
publio. Discussion now is not called
for, and any statements about it, must
be premature.
Finding that there was nothing more
of interest to be obtained, and thank
ing his Excellency for his courtesy, the
reporter withdrew.
Tho questions, however, pronounced
by the Courier, seemed to contain im
portant matters of publio oonoern, the
points well taken, and we therefore pur
sued the matter somewhat further.
Meeting with a
prominent gentleman,
whose opinions are worthy of the high
est consideration, but whose name we
are not permitted to _ use, we put the
same questions to him, and his an
swers were intesesting. There was, no
doubt, he said, that Bullock and Blodg
ett were guilty of the grossest frauds
upon the State. There might, however,
be some difficulty in convicting Bul
lock. While every honest Georgian
felt fully persuaded in his own mind
that he had been implicated in the most
outrageous transactions, the la,w cannot
convict upon presumption, and-full le
gal evidence might not be attainable
in the case. He did not suppose the
Governor knew where Bullock was.
When the requisition was made before,
WHEN THE DETECTIVE STARTED
from Atlanta, Bullock was kept inform
ed of every stage of the negotiations be
tween Governors Smith and Hoffman ;
and when at last the officer went to the
place Bullock was supposed to be, there
was no Bullock there. That functionary
then went to Canada, and wherever he
was, would be located now near the
Canada Hue.
Besides, said the gentleman, it was a
very doubtful question whether it would
bo best to have such men as Bullock and
Blodgett back. It would introduce a
bad element into our society which had
been eliminated from it. Suppose either
of them were here, and should remain
unpunished of the law, through any of
the law’s technicalities, would it contri
bute in any way to our advantage? Ho
knew of a Solicitor once, that was trying
to get a requisition from the Governor for
a woman of bad repute, who had been
convicted of a professional crime and
had fled the State. I implored him, said
our informant, to
“let her stay.”
Don’t bring her back to be cast upon
our society again, after her sentence has
been inflicted. Let the sentence hang
over her and keep her away forever ana
a day, if possible. On the same princi
ple, let these men, frightened off for fear
Of the law of the land, receive their pun

The board of physicians, Dr. J. P.
Logan, of Fulton, Dr. J. A. Long, of
Troup, and Dr. J. T. Banks, of Spald
ing, appointed by Governor Smith to
inquire into and the mental condition
of Stephen B. Brinkley, to his Excel
lency, met at Newnan on Wednesday,
and gave the matter a thorough investi
gation by personally examining the
condemned man, and by examining
physicians and other citizens who are
conversant with his condition. After
making examination, the board ad
journed to meetin Atlanta this afternoon,
to make up their decision, and their re
port will be given verbally to the Gov
ernor at his mansion to-night and a re
port of which will appear in the News
to-morrow.
Drs. Logan, Long and Banks ar
rived in this city yesterday: part of
them in the afternoon. A Herald re
porter called upon them for information
concerning this matter, but they were
all entirely reticent, being unwilling to
say anything either one way or another.
It was as difficult to “pump” them
as it to pump water from a dry cistern
in the sumer time. Nevertheless, with
a persistency characteristic of a live
apertnan, we hung around the
vase "where the scent was sweetest,
though it was broken, until we got the
desired information.
THE REPORT.
As intimated in the above from the
News, the report was verbal, and was
made to the Governor at his mansion
last night about 10 o’clock. Dr. Logan
was called away, and, therefore, Drs.
Long and Banks themselves made the
report to Gov. Smith; Dr. Logan, how
ever, concurring that Stephen B. Brink-
ley, the man who wantonly murdered
the woman that was his own bosom
companion is sane and therefore re
sponsible for the act he committed.
The report being verbal, we can only
give its substance.
Atlanta Constitution.]
So far as any further execution action
is concerned it is now certain that Ste
phen B. Brinkley, the wife murderer, will
be hanged at Newnan on the 26th inst.
The
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
of physicians, appointed by the Govern
or to inquire into and report upon the al
leged insanity, waa yesterday examined
by the Governor and found to have
been correctly made under the executive
order. The following
LETTER TO SHERIFF ASKEW
was then sent by the Governor:
Executive Department, - )
• State op Georgia, [•
Atlanta, November 20th, 1875. j
W. S. Askew, Sheriff, <kc., Newnan,
Ga.,—Dear Sir: The commission ap
pointed to examine and report upon the
mental condition Stephen B. Brinkley
have submitted their report, in which
they state that have “unanimously de
cided that there is no sufficient evidence
of insanity, and that he (Brinkley) is
fully responsible for his acts.” I shall
not, therefore, interfere further to delay
the execution of the sentence of the court.
I am, dear sir, yours, etc.,
James M. Smith.
As the governor, in his order respiting
Brinkley until the 26th inst., said that
the execution of the sentence should be
suspended until that dato, when, in the
absence of any legal order to the con
trary, the sheriff should proceed to carry
out the judgment of the court, no other
order will be given by tho governor, and
Brinkley will doubtless hang on Friday
next.
PERPETUAL EXILE
from the community which received them
generously, and which they outraged in
repayment of its kindness. It is better
than to put under the ban of the law’s
punishment for awhile, thereafter to be a
sore to our eyes and a blot on our city.
In regard to Foster Blodgett’s case, it
is known that he has been pardoned by
Gov. Conley. The question is, would
Gov. Chamberlain accede to a requisition
from Gov. Smith under these circumstan
ces? The former Governor of South
Carolina, Moses, probably would not
have done so under any circumstances.
Granting that Gov. Chamberlain would
ordinarily, when Blodgett
SHOWS HIS PARDON,
would he then ? As prudent a man as
Gov, Smith is, and careful of the unnec
essary or unfruitful expenditure of the
public money, would he, of his own ac
cord, venture such expenditure on such a
chance matter as this ?
Finding that we had obtaind all the
light that could be shed on the subject
from this distinguised but unofficial
quarter, we preceded to interview one
of our best lawyers on the probability
of a conviction before the courts, of eith
er Bullock or Blodgett. But while he
was of the opinion that conviction was
quite possible, he gave no additional
information, only that it was very
questionably whether Blodgett’s par
don would be sustained in law as a good
one.
Meditating on the crookedness of
men, and the uncertainty of human af
fairs, we turned the corner and sought
tho Herald office.
Fatal Railway Collision.
A frightful aceident occurred last
night on the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta railroad, near the Pine House,
about 25 miles from Augusta. After
the regular passenger train left Colum
bia yesterday afternoon for Augusta, it-
was, followed by a train of empty cars
for Augusta. The two trains rolled at
the rate of 20 mileB an hour, one fol
lowed close upon the other. Thepassen-
ger train had just reached tho siding,
and was about to stop, when the second
train came rushing along, and the en
gine telescoped the ladies’ passenger
car throwing it and the smoking .car
from the track. A terrible scene fol
lowed. The ladies’ car was filled with
passengers. Men, women and children
werejammed together—wounded,crush
ed and bleeding.
After a few minutes of confusion the
windows and doors were broken open,
and the passengers carried from the
wreck. But one life was lost, that of
Charlie Nightengale, age 6 years, a son
of Wm. Nightengale, of Brunswick,
Ga., and who seemed to have been
steamed to'death.
Tho son of Mr. Hesheimer, of tho
United States coast survey, who was in
the smoking car, was seriously injured.
Mr. Deshman, of Baltimore, a commer
cial traveler, bled a great deal and ap
peared badly wounded. Gov. Cham
berlain, of South Carolina, was among
the passengers. The outward train from
Augusta being unable to pass the wreok,
returned with the wounded, some of
whom, however, prove to have but
Blight injuries.
The Augusta Collision.—Augusta,
Oa., Nov. 18.—There has been only
one death from the railroad accident.
Mrs. Hegesheimer, who was in the
back part of the ladies car at the time
the engine ran into it, fo and herself sit
ting on ihe cow-oaccher in tiie middle
of the wrecked car. Her infant son
was found under one of the seats close
to the locomotive, badly bruised but
not dangerously wounded. The en
gineer and conductor of the extra train,
who are responsible for the. collision,
have not reported to the officials of the
read. The passengers say that they
were several times alarmed by the near
approach of the extra train previous to
the accident.
