CRESWELL’S DARK CRIME
ALL EUBPICION AGAINST THE
GRANDSON REMOVED.
The Young Man Devoted to His
Grandparents and of Irreproachable
Character—He Is Able to Prove an
Alibi by Responsible Cltizens-Mr.
Barrett Still Alive.
Griffin, Ga., Jan. &—lnterest in the
Barrett tragedy of Sunday night has con
tinued to-day without abatement. At 1
o'clock this afternoon the remains of Grand
ma Barrett, as she was familiarly known,
were interred in the burying ground of the
little village, and a large concourse of lov
ing neighbors made up the funeral cortege.
It was a sad duty, made mere sad by reason
of the brutality of her death. Rev. J. H.
Elder preached the sermon. His allusions
to her Christian character and her many
good deeds, caused tears to dim many eyes
unused to weeping.
Her aged husband still lingers, but the
brittle thread that bolds him on earth is
well nigh severed and may be snapped in
two at any moment. The crime which
ended the noble life of this aged lady and
causes the constant watching by the bed
side of her husband Is still hidden in an Im
penetrable veil.
baseless theories.
There is no foundation for any of the
theories advanced offerlug a clew to the
guilty parties and they should never have
been used. Sheriff Patrick, having beon
quoted in oonuection with one of
these theories, was seen by the News
correspondent and the following statement
bas been obtained from him for the News:
"It is the policy of every officer to suspect
any party that could possibly have any con
nection with a omue brought to Ins notice.
As evidence of the fact that there is no
foundation (or connecting W.VV. Nunnaily’s
Dome with the crime, Mra Fielding Hill,
a neighbor of Dr. Barrett’s, states that on
Sunday night, between T and 8 o’clock, she
beard soreains in the direction of Dr. Bar
rett’s house. /Nunnaily was not at borne
from before sundown until 9:30
o'clock, is the evidence of half
B dosen responsible people. Tlieo, too, those
early on the scene, whom Nunnaily had just
left, state that the blood had coagulated
when they arrived, showing conclusively
that the crime had been committed some,
time before Nunnallyjroturned to bis home.'
NO SHADOW OVER NUNNALLY.
The News correspondent has just re
turned from the scene of the tragedy, and
after again thoroughly going over -he en
tire case and talking with a large number
of the neighbors, is convinced that there is
no shadow of suspicion resting on
Nunnaily. The evidence shows that
be could not have committed the
crime. , The suspicion that might
bave been felt yesterday was caused by the
wild excitement that prevailed, but that
has passed now, and the community feels
that a great injustice has been done the
young man. It was never Intended that
any remarks mat were made in discussing
the case should bave been so promiscuously
bandied.
IDEVOTKD TO HIS GRANDPARENTS.
Upon inquiry the News correspondent
learns that Nunnaily was devoted to his
grandparents. Ho had for a number of
years lived with them and waited on them,
and no one feels the heavy blow more than
be. Nunnaily is a quiet, sober and in
dustrious young muu, and is highly
respected by his neighbors, who are his
frieuds, and for a number of years has beon
a consistent member of the church, it was
hoped Dr. Barrett would recover sufficiently
to give the names of his assailants, but to
night there isj scarcely a hope of his surviv
ing through the night.

and brought the sentinel. The thief es
caped by the back way. Christine was too
frightened to say whether he was a colored

BERRY’S NECK SAVED.
The Governor Commutes' tho Henry
County Prisoner's Bentonce.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. S. —In commuting
to-day the sentence of John Berry, the
Henry county negro who was to have been
hanged on Jan. 8 for assaulting Mary Ann
Dunn, a white woman, (k>v. Nonhen said:
“Rape is the meet terrible crime in ail the
catalogue of offenses against the laws of
this state. It deserves and ehould receive
swift and certain punishment under the au
thority of the law. While the executive
functions of the state rest with me, no mat
ter what the circumstances, I will not in
terfere with the judgment of the court
whtn two things appear: First, when the
crime of rap* hss been committed; second,
where the identity of the offender isshowu.
When these two elements exist there can
be, In my opinion, no palliating circum
stances. ”
berry’s case.
Tho circumstances of Borry% conviction
are peculiar. He was seen only for a mo
ment by the victim, who went to tho door
of her house with a candle in her hand to
answer his knocks. The negro blow out the
candle quickly, and it was only during the
short spac? that the victim saw her assail
ant. When Berry was arrested and brought
before her she at first failed to identify bun,
but when a cap was placed upon his
bead she became positive that he
was the brute. Afterward Mary Ann
Dunn signed a petition asking for comruu
tion because she was doubtful as to the iden
tity of Berry, but she subsequently with
drew her signature, declaring unequivocally
that Berry was her assailant, explaining
that she had signed the petition under
pressure. The governor was doubtful
whether, in tho moment before the caudle
was blown out, the victim could be able to
positively recognize him again, and com
muted the negro’s sentence solely upon the
ground of ideutity.
The governor also commuted the sentence
of James Graham of Bulloch oounty to life
imprisonment for the reason that he did not
have a good lawyer. He was to have beeu
hanged Dec. 18, but was respited to Jau. 13.
Pardon was refused in the following
cases; Asa Whitlock of Fulton county,
serving ten year* for manslaughter; Wil
liam Bowden of Pickens oounty, murder;
W. H. Reeves of Haralson oounty, murder;
William Hallman of Whitfield oounty, mur
der, and Turner and William Sims of Rock
dale county, riot. Bowden, Reeves and
Hallman are serving life sentences.

A RUBBER COMPANY FAIL3.
It was Made Unpopular by the Politics
of a Member.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. s.—The Atlanta
Rubber Company, C. H. Chase, president;
8. P. Allen, vice president, and G. F.Covell,
secretary and treasurer, has gono to tho
wall. Yesterday the company gave a
promissory note to the New York Belting
and Backing Company payable at one day's
sight This morning a mortgage for 334,-
091 59 was given to cover the note and to
morrow the mortgage will be foreclosed by
tne New York company. The mortgage
given the New York company is a second
one, a first one for |2,5U0 in favor of tha
Amerioan Trust and Banking Company
having been given previously. A third
mortgage was given to tho Stough
ton Rubber Company for J 8.929 93,
making total liabilities of between $35,000
aud $20,000, so far as can be ascertained.
The stoek is valued at about $12,000 over
and above certain goods which are con
signed, and the accounts are put at $12,000.
An interesting feature of the failure u the
fact that the house was established by Gen.
J. R. Lewis, at present postmaster here,
about eight years ago. The concern was
apparently prosperous until Gen. Lewis waß
appointed postmaster by President
Harrison. Public feeling was aroused
against Gen. Lewis becauso of his policy in
appointing certain negroes, and he was
burned in effigy. It was then that be
severed his connection with the rubber
company, withdrawing entirely. Since his
retirement the concern has not been a pay
ing venture, and the failure has boon pre
dicted for some time.

Gainesville, Fla., Jan. 5. —The cir

plaster bracket fell a few day* ago which
would have killed a half dozen men had
they been sitting or standing under it. This
court Louse cost originally $56,000 and it is ’
going to wreck as fast as it well can.
Miles Wilson, a negro living near Archer, i
was convicted Saturday of the murder of j
his cousin, Hollis Wilson. The two colored
men on the jury recommended him to the |
mercy of the court, but us it takes a ma
jority to make the recommendation availa
ble, he will hang, unless his attorney,
Charles L. Fildes, who gave notice of a mo
tion for anew trial, succeeds in having his
motion granted. Isalin Hall was also con
victed of the murder cf Ed Warren. The
jury in this case recommended him also to
the. mercy of the court, and CoL Fiuly gave
notice of a motion for anew trial. The
evidence showed both of these to have been
co’d-blooded murders. It is time, high
time, that this inefficient, one-sided jury
system be abolished. You cannot hang a
man if he has or can get SIOO. Home lawyer
will work for this amount until all inlero-t
is lost and the people tired out,
then a jury is picked for the
purpose and the accused is cleared.

a subscription of 4,090 marks has been
received from the printers of New
York: that this evidence of the sympathy of
their fellow craftsmen across tho ocean has

a result they havo refused to
reinstate strikers. Here 1,500
printers out of 4,000 stil! hold out, but with
out inconvenience to the tr.ido. British and
American subscribers to the strike fund

SYLVANIA SrFTINGS.
A Dog Traded for a Horss-Smart
ness of Sylvania Pointers
Sylvania, Ga., Jan. A—Dr. M. D.
Lanier of this town, traded his pointer dog
Tasso a few days age with Mr. Dunbar of
Tennessee for a horse. This is a rather
unique species of horse swapping, but then
we have some line dogs in this section.
Ta-so is very much attached to Sylvania, as
Sylvania hunters are to him, and should he
be carried off we will no doubt have a very
pathetic reproduction of Byron’s famous
“Lament."
As stated, we have some fine dogs 'a this sec
tion—not of that wonderful variety that
wili point even a man if he happens to be
named Partridge, but still pretty good
dogs. One of them while out on a hunt re
cently lost her balance in running down a
hill and roiled over on the ground. Although
6eemlnglY not hurt nothing could induce
her to get up. In spite ef all the entreaties
aud remonstrance* of her master she lay
there motionless—a most ridiculous looking
sight, with ter head ttraigbt out before ter
and her tail rigid. The hunters were at a
loss to understand her strange conduct until
a short while afterward, when a drove of
partridges flew up a few feet away. She
had not scented them until she fell and
pointed while lying flat upon the ground.
Another pointed a covey of partridges and
a rabbit at the same time. The partridges,
however, were given toe preference, for he
Indicated their whereabouts with bis nose,
aud the rabbit with his taiL His owner is
overjoyed at the little incident, for he b*-
lieves that from this circumstance he can
teach his dog to do what no other dog has
ever and >ne—indicate in a “point” whether It
is birds or a rabbit. It will be accomplished
in this wi*e: He believes be can cultivate
the dog to that extent that he will, when he
gats on the trail of a rabbit, carry out to
perfection the idea ho advanced the other
day—that is, will turn around and bock up
to where the rabbit is hid, thus putting the
hunters uumistakably on notioo. Of course
the dog's retrograde approaoh to the
“point,” It the expression may be used, will
he necessarily slow and cautious, as he will
have to turn his head to the rear very fre
quently to ascertain that be is not going off
on the wrong track; but then the advan
tages of such traiulng will be immense.
The gentleman claims to be progressing
nicely thus far, and should he suoCeed his
stock of dogs will possess a rare and valua
ble accomplishment.
This last-named dog is a lineal de
scendant of a pointer that was
lost some years ago by a noted
hunter while shooting in a broom sedge.
A soarch of two days failed to discover biu>,
and his master gave him up for lost. The
next year, however, in burning off that
same sedge tho bones cf a dog were found
still in tho position of a “point,” and a few
feet in front were seen tne bleached remains
of a large covey of partridges.
