HILL FORFEITS HIS BOND.
His Attorney Pleads That Hill In
tended to Be on Hand.
Tba Solicitor Points Out That the
Fugitive Could Have Been Present
If He Had So Desired—A Letter Prom
the Woman Who Betrayed Him Into
the Hands of the Chicago Police.
Atlanta. Ga.. Jan. 22.—The $6,600 bond
of Harry Hill, indicted on eleven counts
for forging the name of Mrs. Fannie
Porter, wife of J. H. Porter, president of
the Merchants' Bank, was forfeited in
the criminal branch of the superior court
to-day, when the case, which-was set some
weeks ago, was called for trial.
When the state announced ready
through Solicitor General Charles D.
Hill, his brother, B. H. Hill, who repre
sented the prisoner, arose and made a
motion for a continuance. Harry Hill is
under bond in Chicago awaiting the gov
ern's ruling as to whether a
requisition for him from Georgia
will be honored, he said. He is to an
swer to the case in court there at noon
teeday and. of course, under those condi
tions, it was impossible for him to be here
this morning.
ISTKXPED TO RETURN’.
“I will say in this connection, may it
please your honor, that it has never been
other than Mr. Hill’s intention to return
to Atlanta. He will be here for trial.
He was unwilling to be brought back upon
charges preferred by Mr. Tolleson. which
he did not believe were made in good
faith, but simply for the purpose of
collecting a debt. 1 telegraphed Harry
Hill on Saturday to be here to-day, as his
case would be called yesterday. I re
ceived from C. H. Blackburn, his attorney
in Chicago, this telegram: ‘He is under
bond for appearance here to-morrow.
Will arrange matters and start him there
to-morrow evening.' Harry Hill will be
here ifjthe requisition is granteu* in charge
of the officer If the requisition is not
granted, he will come voluntarily.”
EORFf III’RE DEMANDED.
Solicitor Hill raised strenuous objec
tions. and the passages between the
two were sharp. His bond, said the
solicitor, was made returnable to-day, and
it was his lirst duty to be here. If
he bad been anxious to stand his trial he
could have said that he would return
without a requisition, and that would
have ended the matter. Instead, he is
cow fighting hard to keep from appearing
before this court.
Chief of Police Connolly received notice
during the morning that Gov. Altgeld had
refused the requisition for Hill and that
the gay prisoner was released
In reply to this Solicitor Hill wired the
Chicago chief of police, and Gov. Altgeld
also, to have Hill held as a fugi
tive from justioe under the charge
of forgery, as he had forfeited
his bond this morning, so Hill
will doubtless be brought back to stand
trial finally, if be is not already on his
way voluntarily.
THE WOMAN WHO OAVK HIM AWAT.
J. R. Tolleson, who has been active in
pursuing Hill, received a letter from the
woman who gave him over to the Chicago
police to-day. She describes an attempt
made to bribe the police, but was foiled
by an outside party, who wasou the watch
for such a move. The woman says in
Chicago a man can kill another and get out
of it if he has money. Hill is reported as
occupying an office in Chicago, where he
is writing a book giving all the circum
stances in the noted case in which he
figured as a principal. He had been
writing five hours daily on this book
when betrayed by the woman, who says,
in her letter, that he was going to get
SIO,OOO for his book from Chicago pub
lishers.
CHECKING CRIME.
Ministers Asking' the Feople to As
sist in Putting Down Lawlessness.
Douglas, Ga., Jan. 22. —Owing to the ab
sence of Presiding Elder Stubbs, the
quarterly conference for the Douglas cir
cuit of the Methodist Episcopal church
closed here yesterday, after a masterly
sermon delivered by Rev. J. M. Wilcox
on the wave of crime and bloodshed that
has passed over this county within the
past twelve months, and how to remedy
it. At the conclusion. Rev. W. J. Flan
ders asked all who were willing to aid the
officers in the suppression of crime to
stand up. Every man in the vast assem
bly arose.
All the ministers of the county have
asked all law-abiding citizens to meet
them at the Methodist Episcopal church
here on the first Monday in March to
effect plans to stop crime.
Rev. C. W. Infinger, who has charge of
the county blood hounds, is also clerk of
the court of ordinary, in addition to his
other offices The ordinary lives about
seventeen miles from the court house, and
Mr. Infinger was called away with the
hounds on Thursday and Friday of last
week.
George W. Deen, an influential turpen
tine operator, had to send imjiortant
papers fourteen miles from his place here
twice in the day. and once at 2 o'clock in
the night, before he could get them prop
erly signed. This will cause another
kick, as the law directs certain hours
daily for this office to be kept open.
Some of the taxpayers are kicking at
the expense of k'-eping John Jones in
Malcon jail and John Story in Brunswick
jail. We have the Pauly Company's latest
improved steel cells in the jail here, at a
great expense to the county.
CORDELE CUTS SALARIES.
The Knife Applied to Avoid an In
crease in Taxation.
Cordele. Ga., Jan. 22.—The city council
of Cordele has begun the new year with
the determination to economize on every
hand. They made a start this afternoon
by cutting down salaries SOOO per year.
The salary of the clerk and treasurer was
reduced from *SO to $26, that of the mar
shal from SSO to SBS. and that of the
policeman from S4O to S3O.
At the meeting this afternoon T. J.
Brooks was elected clerk and treasurer,
W. W. Bussey marshal, and N. Y. Peavy
deputy marshal. The reduction in sal
aries is made so that certain outstanding
debts may be paid without increasing the
rpte of taxation.
SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR.
Orlando to Have an Exposition a
Week Long in February.
Orlando, Fla., Jan. 20.—Preparations
for the opening of the second annual fair
of the South Florida Fair Association,
which will be held here on Feb. 22-25,
inclusive, are going forward satisfactorily
The association has published and dis
tributed a neat premium catalogue, and
is now presenting its compliments to the
newspaper men it is hoped will lie pres
ent. It is hoped and expected that the
til'st fair, which was a complete suoress,
will be eclipsed by the forthcoming one.
Offerman's Municipal Ticket.
Offerman, Ga., Jan. 22.—At the annual
meeting of citizens Of Offerman. the fol
lowing gentlemen were nominated to
serve as mayor and council: William R.
Colquitt, mayor. For councilmen, Charles
McCall, E. O'Hagan, J. N. Stewart and
Dr. J E. Overstreet.
The naval stores operators are securing
plenty of hands.
TRIAL OF THE HINKLES.
The Case of the Father to Be Tried
First -Eleven Jurymen Secured.
Americus. Ga.. Jan. 22.—The Hinkle
case was called this morning. Both sides
announced ready.
The state asked that the cases of Dr.
J. B. Hinkle and his son. A. B. Hinkle,
be severed. This was granted by Judge
Fish.
Dr. J. B. Hinkle was placed on trial.
Theday was spent in obtaining a-jury. ■At
the adjournment to-night eleven jurors
had been selected : B. H. Harriss. C. C.
Alexander. G. W. Kinard. D. W. Win
gate. J. M. Wimbish, Q. W. Fuller, J. T.
Frasier, T. L. Speer. M. .1. Nailer. J. T.
Ratliffe and D. R. Bradley. Eight of the
eleven are country farmers, one is a rail
road man, one a butcher, and one a la
borer.
Great interest is manifested in the
case.
The remaining juryman will doubtless
be obtained early to-morrow.
Both sides are on the alert, quick to
take advantage or exception. Thirteen
lawyers represent the defense, among
them several of the most prominent in the
state, including Assistant Attorney Gen
eral W. A. Little, Railroad Commissioner
Allen Fort. Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, L. J.
Blalock and others.
The state is not so well represented in
number, but Hon. Robert Burner, of For
syth; E. A. Hawkins, E. F. Hinton, A. J.
Hixon and others show that the solicitor,
C. B. Hudson, will be ably assisted in the
prosecution.
It will doubtless prove one of the most
stubbornly contested cases in the crim
inal annals of the state.
The prisoners to-day were attended by
their wives. Mrs. Myrick. wife of the
editor of the Times-Recorder, and other
relatives. When arraigned Dr. J. B.
Hindle pleaded “Not guilty” with great
boldness, so much so that the resultant
murmurs caused Judge Fish to rap for
order.
The two doctors seem in fine health,
the feebleness claimed several months
ago having entirely disapt>eared.
They are charged with the murder of
Dr. J. J. Worsham on Dec. 21,1892.
MEMPHIS’ BIG COTTON FIRE.
One Phase of the Litigation Growing
Out of It Decided.
Washington, Jan. 22.—One phase of a
complicated litigation growing out of a
cotton conflagration in Memphis on the
night of Nov. 17,1887, when 14,000 bales,
vatued at $700,000, were destroyed in the
west navy yard compress of the Memphis
Cotton Press and Storage Company, was
ended by a decision ot the supreme court
of the United States to-day. There were
seven cases, in all, disposed of by tho
judgment. They were suits originally
filed in the Shelby county. Tennessee,
chancery court, the parties being a num
berof insurance companies and the cotton
press oompany.on one side, and the Insur
ance Company of North America, of Phil
adelphia, on the other.
The plaintiffs asked to have the cases
transferred to the circuit court of the
United States for the Western District of
Tennessee, which was denied. The
supreme court of Tennessee affirmed the
ruling of the county court, and the plain
tiffs brought the cases to the supreme
court of the United States. Besides the
question of Jurisdiction involved, the ap
pellants also raised the question whether
or not certain alleged special rates, re
bates and drawbacks allowed the re
ceivers of the Cairo, Vincennes and
Chicago railroad to a firm whose cotton
was destroyed in the fire was
not such a violation of the inter
state commerce act as to invalidate
the bills of lading issued for that cotton
and prevent recovery thereon against the
carrier. After fully presenting the facts
In the case, Justice Jackson said thecourt
was of the opinion that the cases should
not have been transferred from the fed
eral courts; that the evidence failed to
establish the claim that special rates, re
bates and drawbacks had been allowed,
and that if they had been so made there
is nothing in the interstate commerce act
which vitiates bills of lading. The judg
ment of the Tenuessee supreme court was
affirmed.
ALABAMA’S CAMPAIGN.
The Democratic State Convention to
be Held May 22.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 22.—The demo
cratic state executive committee met in
this city to-day to name the date for hold
ing the state convention and to apportion
the delegates among the different coun
ties.
The last state convention adopted the
population basis instead of the voting
basis, as had before been the custom. The
executive committee fixed the proportion
at one delegate for each 8,000 popula
tion and one delegate for each
fraction of 1.500. This will give a con
vention of something over 500 delegates.
The state convention is to be held on
May 22, in Montgomery. The beat meet
ings throughout the state were ordered
for May 12 and county conventions on
May 16.
An effort was made by Mr. Burgess, of
Mobile, to have the convention held in
Birmingham, but this was voted down
by 19 to 3. No proposition of any kind
was submitted to the committee by the
Kolbites or any other party, nor was any
attempt made to change the qualifications
.of the participants in the party primary.
The committee adopted a reso
lution providing that no selec
tion of delegates to con
gressional conventions should bo had
until after the state elections in August
next. The, purpose of this,
it is generally understood, is to
shut off trading with the Kolb
ites by congressmen who are inclined
to use this method in order to be re
turned. In other words, after the state
elections are over the straights will know
where to place their men by the kind of
work they did during the state campaign.
NEILL'S COTTON ESTIMATE.
He Sticks to 7,700,000 Bales as the
Probable Total.
New Orleans. Jan. 22.—Henry M. Neill
furnishes the Southern Associated Press
with the following statement concerning
his estimates of the cotton crop: "Tele
grams and circulars sent from New York
last week by parties whose names are
well known, announced that "Neill has
reduced his estimate to 7,400,000 bales.
Some said ‘Neill, London,’ others simply
Neill. In either form there was no truth
in the statement: on the coutrary, in mv
letter of tho 16th and in the' Ixmdon
circular of the 18th, the es
timate of 7,700,000 minimum was
strongly affirmed. As one of our London
friends says in a cable received this
morning; 'lt was a bull invention.’ I
leave it to others to characterize the con
duct of these New York writer and to
Judge how weak must be their position
when they find it necessary to resort to
such desperate expedients.”

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 23. 1894.
FOUNDING TO PIECES.
But Little Hope of Saving the Steamer
Andes.
Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 22.—The
steamer Andes, Capt. Williams, which
went ashore at 1:30 o’clock this morning
off Little Beach, will probably be a total
loss, as she now lies in but about 15 feet
of water, with the sea founding her
heavily. The chances for her getting off
are decidedly poor.
The vessel is laden with a valuable
cargo of coffee, bananas, oranges, and was
bound from Costa Itica to New York. A
crew of forty men. in addition to the cap
tain and officers, are on board, and will
remain until all chances for her being
saved are exhausted. The two passengers
who were on board were this morning
taken off by the life-saving crew.
CHILD MURDER IN LONDON.
Horrible Tortures to Which the Little
Ones Are Subjected.
London Cor. Globe-Democrat.
Chiid murder in London is a science—a
science so practical it has become a busi
ness and the basis of operation which de
clare handsome dividends. The recent
imprisonment of Lady Montague for kill
ing her baby by hanging her by the arms
is but the punishment of a single con
spicuous instance of inhuman cruelty
among thousands thift happen yearly anil
are never brought to iight. The terrible
ness of the practice exceeds the atroci
ties of the wildest savage in darkest
Africa, and no cannibalistic native ever
tortured his victim with fewer pangs of
consciousness than does the English pro
fessional murderer wipe from the earth his
share of children whom devil-possessed
parents sacrifice for paltry life insurances.
Spanish history of the red pages of the
days of the inquisitions, show no such
art of diabolism. It is officially known
that at least 1,000 children a year are
killed for hire in this metropolis alone.
HORRIBLE TORTURES.
The slaughter of the babies on the
Ganges was two-fold more human—death
by an aligator's Jaws—than the new
methods employed by the English Bill
Sykeses. Some are hung by straps un
til they become limp; others are scarred
and burned with hot pokers; one case
was recently reported where the child
had been held against a blazing stove un
til its body was cooked; one was held in
a tank of ice water until dead ; others
were tortured by having hot oil poured In
fresh wounds, several were killed by al
lodged accidental falling from high win
dows. Yet such desperate means are
rarely used—means likely to betray the
murderer. Starvation is the favorite
method. It leaves no dew, and is equally
as deadly as arsenic or laudanum. Other
favorite procedures are medicines for dis
eases the child has not, man’s food for
suckling infants, neglect for the ailing,
chilling drafts for the feverish—killing
the victim and earning the reward as
easily as they would pluck a petal from a
rose.
The greatest incentive for the slaugh
ter of the children is the reward offered
for their deaths. While the original in
tention of the system of child life insur
ance was to enable the needy to suitably
bury their dead, the good end of it has
been entirely perverted. It has now be
come simply a plan whereby persons of
no conscience obtain a cash profit by a
comparatively safe method of murder—a
scheme of neglect varying in degrees of
cruelty with the age of the victim. The
younger the child, after it is old enough
to be insured, the easier the killing and
the less the reward. The prize increases
with the difficulty of the nefarious game,
and so it happens that children of very
mature age are the most frequent victims.
In fact, the business has grown so ex
tensively that it is one of the problems
now before parliament. There are 50.000
men in England working from door to
door, pestering parents to insure their
children. These are working for profit,
and for each first penny premium they
get twenty pennies pay. It matters not
to them that they are selling tickets in a
lottery where the thriftless parent gam
bles his penny a week against the com
pany’s thirty shillings that the child will
die, and the coroners of the kingdom
swear before the investigating committees
that one-half of the children who die
mysteriously die with this thirty shilling
policy on their heads.
MATHEMATICS OF MURDER.
The cold mathematics to which the
profit and loss of thisi chld-killing has
been reduced is one of the most awful of
modern facts. The law allows a value of
S3O to be placed upon the life of a child
under 6 years; up to 10 years it is worth
SSO, and over that SI,OOO. The traffic is
largely among the desperately poor peo
ple, those whom poverty has made des
perate and whom debauch has made
brutes. The parent usually insures for a
penny a week premiums. The figures
show that the crisis is usually reached
within six months, when the premiums
paid amount to 2s 2d. Consequently the
family has netted £2los fid upon the
death of the infant. From this must be
paid the funeral expenses, which thrifty
Ixmdon undertakers have reduced to a
minimum by burying poor children in job
lots—five and often more in the same
man-size coffin.
Their rates for such service are usually
about Iss, and, deducting that amount
from the amount of the penny premium
policy, less the premiums paid during the
six months, the fiend realizes about£l 15s
for his nefarious work. This is the lowest
possible reward, which leaves ample room
for an increase by insuring the child in
several concerns and hastening its death.
The sum seems small and hardly worth
the eost, but it is a great temptation to
him who has always been at the very bot
tom, torn and wretched by famine and
vice. It means paid rent or anew de
bauch. Parental instinct is hard to ob
literate, but thousands of cases are shown
in London every year where mothers’
love and fathers' solicitude have been en
tirely wiped out by the fearful business
of killing children for insurance money.
There is a society waging an unequal
war against this business—the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
It has a big hospital on Harper street,
Bloomsbury, within shadow of the Brit
ish museum, and here are seen scores of
children rescued from the hands of their
i intending slayers. Hardly an hour in the
i day passes but that a carriage rolls up to
1 the door and there is lifted out a child
covered with dirt, filth and mildew, found
by some agent in a stench-filled attic,
alley, shed or damp cellar. But the other
day five victims were brought from a sin
gle slaughter-pen. When the door was
broken in a strong man vomited, so strong
was the atmosphere.
Upon the floor were two boys unable to
stand from hunger and disease; two more
were strapped to old chairs, and the
third lay upon a rotten blanket. Two
had single flaunels around their loins, and
the others wore short cotton frocks.
When found they did not cry; they were
too weak. Not one of them belonged to
the owner of the den, but all had been
sent to her to dis|x>se of. This monster
is now doing prison service, and tho
children live - all but one. The society’s
books show 8,000 Just such cases un
earthed. and now it has 8,051 parents
under supervision for cruelty, and the
prisons hold 1,130 fiends for cowardly,
foul child murder or cruelty.
A SAMPLE CASE.
One case selected at random records
how a boy 10 years old was found who
weighed but 25 pounds. He had been
starved until every bone in his body was
visible through the skin. His task was
to carry flat-irons up and down stairs
from daylight to dark each dav. Up and
down ho plodded,’often for thirty-six
hours, without food, and when he‘was
allowed rations he ate them as he
tramped. He was rescued just before the
starvation proved fatal, and his inhuman
father mourns the loss of his policy be
hind the bars.
The history of another boy is most ter
rible. He is 10years old. and the son of a
carpenter. His life was insure! for £lO.
Later, as death seemed sure, the father
increased the policy to £2O. and it was
while the reward was thus large that the
victim was found. A neighbor happened
to look over the back fence one day and
saw him eating the leavings at the dog
kennel. When called he managed to crawl
under the fence and receive a little food.
For this his demon-mother punished him
with a walking stick and soothed the
smarting wounds with salt. The partners
in his proposed murder said in court they
were out of work and needed the policy
money. Both are in prison.
The most desperate child-slaughter
house in London was for a long time ad
vertised under the head of "Children to
Adopt.” After a cautious investigation
the society found seven children locked
in a piggery—all being starved to death
for sums ranging from £3 to £lO. Of the
seven two died on the evening of the raid.
One of the little girls was an absolute
skeleton. While her weight naturally
would have been twenty-two pounds, she
weighed but ten. Her limbs were frozen
and had begun to decay It seemed far
better that she should die. But a few
weeks of care awakened her to life, and
now she is a handsome girl. The brutes
who thus murdered for hire will serve the
rest of their lives in a workhouse.
“I couldn't sleep a wink last night,”
remarked the newly blessed benedict, "on
account of a discordion that kept play
ing all night.”
"Discordion!” exclaimed his wife.
