A.B. HINKLE ON THE STAND
He Gives His Version of the Killing
ol Dr. Worsham.
His Story Is to the Effect That the
Man Killed Abused His Father and
Himself and Then Assaulted Him
With Brass Knuckles—His Father
Fired the Fatal Shots to Save Him
From Being Killed.
Americus, Ga.. .Jan. 25.—The first wit
ness this morning was Dr. A. B. Hinkle
In defense of his father He testified
that he and his father were on the point
of leaving their office at 5:15 o'clock
when Dr. Worsham came by. Dr. Wor
tham stopped and coming up to the wit
ness said "Don't you speak to me, or even
look at me.'’
The witness' father at this moment
time out of the office door, when Dr.
Worsham said to him “you damned
puppy don’t you speak to me, or look at
me.”
The older Hinkle replied: “You go
your way and I will go mine.’’
Dr. Worsham continued to be aggres
sive, and finally drew a weapon from his
hip pocket. The witness thought It was
a pistol, but it proved to be brass knuckles.
He knocked the witness to the ground.
Believing he was being killed, the wit
ness called to his father: “He is killing
me.” His father then fired the fatal
shots.
To explain his father's success in firing
the fatal shots with two pistols, one in
sach hand, he said his father was ambi
dextrous. The witness swore that Dr.
Worsham drew the knuckles from his hip
jpoekei and that his overcoat was un
buttoned. Other witnesses swore that
they unbuttoned his overcoat after ho
was killed. His testimony closely fol
lowed the statement of his father read
yesterday, but some discrepancies were
brought out on the cross examination.
BRASS KNCCKI.ES NEAR THE CORI'SE.
Will Mathis testified that in helping to
earry Dr Worsham s body he heard
something fall, and he picked up a pair of
brass knuckles. Policeman Barrow did
not know whether they fell from the
body or were thrown down by some
pne. On cross examination he stated
that the knuckles were a foot or more
from Dr. Worsham's arm.
James Butts testified to hearing Dr.
Worsham say the Hiukles had threat
ened to whip him and that if they at
tempted it he was man enough to whip
both of them.
Policeman Wheeler testified that ha
felt knots on A. B. Hinkle’s head £Ho
thought they were made by brass knuck
les
Charles Carter, colored, was intreduend
and swore that he was near Dr. Hinkles’
office when the shooting began. He ran
toward the firing. According to his state
ment considerable time elapsed between
the first and last shots. His testimony
was so glaringly false that it damaged
rather than benefited the defense.
Dr. Darby was the last witness. He
testified mainly as to tlio nature and
direction of the wounds. It had very
little value as going to show whether the
killing was murder.
The general impression to-night is that
the evidence to-duy has not materially
weakened the case made out by the state.
A BULLET FOR A MARSHAL.
A Desperate Attempt by a Negro to
Kill Moultrie’s Officer.
Moultrie, Ga., Jan. 25.—An attempt
was made Sunday night to kill Sam Mor
ris, the marshal of this town. Mr. Mor
ris and his wife were on their way to the
Presbyterian church on Sunday night
about 7 o’clock. At a small branch be
tween the court house square and the
rhuroh, as he and his wife, who had hold
of his arm, were crossing the narrow foot
way they met three negroes, when one of
the negroes without speaking pulled his
pistol, held it within a few feet of Mr.
Morris' breast and shot him. The ball
struck his collar bone and glanced over
his should: r. There was no one near
enough to follow the negro, who immedi
ately fled. He was chased to the Och
locknee river, aoout a mile, when ,ie
escaped. He shot three times at those
following him. Sheny Word,the negro who
did the shooting, is a short, thick set,
ginger-cake color, about 26 years old
He is a very desperate negro, and no
reason can be given for hia attempted
murder. Parties have been out in every
direction hunting for him, and there are
no doubts as to what will be done with
him if caught.

A HANGING AT OCALA.
Ben Latimore Strung up for Killing
Paymaster Chandler.
Ocala, Fla., Jan 25. —Ben latimore
alias Jake Williams (colored), was hanged
to-day, for the murder of N. A. Chandler,
l'eymaster for the Ambler railroad, in
the western part of Marion county.
Quite a crowd convened to see I-atimore
hung, but it was not near so large as at
the execution of Dancy. Fully 120 ticket*
were issued by Sheriff Hodge and the
scaffold enclosure and jail rooms were
crowded to suffocation. Every place
available for sight-seeing was occu
pied. I-atimore devoted nearly an
hour to praying. Revs. Goingand Nelson
of his race went with him on the scaf
fold. He made a statement, confessed
his crime, said lie died in hope of an im
mortal resurrection and warned those
within his bearing to take heed from his
fate. Ben McColiough, a negro deputy,
sprung the trap at 12:30 o'clock, and the
man dropped into eternity.
LATIMORE'S CRIME.
The crime for which Latimore was
hanged was a deliberate and <aild-blooded
murder, prompted by a desperate and
evil-minded person. The deed was com
mitted on the night of Jan.lt, 1802, near
what is known as the Early Bird phos
phate mines. The paymaster's instruc
tions were to keep back a small amount
of the wages due the men constructing
the road, so that their services would be
retained until the completion of the road,
an event only a few days distant. In this
case the sum was only HO cents, and when
Latimore's turn came and his pay was
proffered him, less the 80 cents, the trou
ble began.
Mr Candler explained why he could not
pay the 80 cents. Latimore insisted on
having it, as he was sick and wanted to
go home. Not receiving it, he told several
bystanders that "if Candler did not pay
him what he owed him, one or the other
would eat breakfast in hades the next
morning.’’ Mr. Candler having paid his
men off, the crowd dis|>ersed. While he
was making up his accounts a shot was
heard in the camp, and when the reason
was sought for, it was found that Mr.
Candler lay dead in his office. Search was
instituted immediately. Parties were
sent out to look for the murderer. It was
soon known that Latiinore made the threat
and was absent from his accustomed
haunts.
The search for Latimore continued for
several days, but the slayer of Candler
escaped. It was afterwards learned that
he went to his old home at Quitman. In
June, 1802, he went to Jacksonville, where
he was apprehended and brought to
Ocala, and tried before J. J. Finley, during
the October term of the court. George
Badger and F. C. Thomas defended Lati
more, but the verdict of the jury was
murder in the first degree, and the court
sentenced him to be hanged.
Attorney Badger appealed the case on
a technicality, and the supreme court
granted Latiinore anew trial, which was
held last October, Mr. Badger again de
fending him The jury's verdict was the
same as in the first trial. Judge W. R.
Hocker pronounced sentence of death
by hanging. Gov. Mitchell named the
day, The fact that Latimore secured a
second trial greatly aggravated the peo
ple of this county, as all the facts pointed
U> the criminal, and when anew trial
wag given him it aroused such a feeling of
reeentinent that lynching was strongly
hinted at at one time, but better counsel
prevailed, and now the strength and ma
jesty of the law has been vindicated. For
a long time Latimore, who is only 20
years old, was obdurate and insensible to
the appeals made to him by both colored
and white clergymen for his spiiritual
welfare. It remained for Father O’Keily to
bring Latimore to a realinn sense of his
future state, and Sunday he made a full
confession, and asked absolution, which
was administered.
CHARLESTON CALM.
The Trouble With the Constables Not
Renewed Yesterday.
Charleston, S. C., Jan. 25.—Peace reigns
in the city after the flare up of last night.
The crowd which started the riot last
night was after J. H. Elliott, oue of the
whisky spies, who is charred with as
saulting Mrs. Nolte. the wife of a grocery
man whose place Elliott attempted to
raid. They first, went to the railroad
depot to prevent his departure from the
city and then to a boarding house where
he is supposed to lodge. It seems, how
ever that Elliott had taken refuge in the
police station. It was thought that the
rioting would be renewed to-day, but
such was not the case, although the
whisky constabulary resumed their raid
ing. There does not seem to be much
doubt that there is an organized move
ment here against the whisky spies. The
people have Deen so harried and bullied
by these officials that the entire commun
ity is ripe for revolt. There are from 15
to 20 of the spies here, and they all go
heavily armed by order of Gov. Tillman.
No one has any doubt that bloodshed will
come out of the enforcement of
the dispensary laws by these
spies. The police force of the city
numbers about 1(H) effective men. They
are armed with Winchester repeating
rifles and heavy revolvers, and have a
l>olice patrol wagon service, which en
ables them to move rapidly from point to
poiut. The authorities think it can keep
the peace as it did last night. A squad
of the force, under the command of the
chief, protected the spies in their raid
to-day, and there was no attempt to in
terfere with them.
TILI.MAN AROUSED.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 25.—Gov. Tilhnau
is talking of putting Charleston under
martial law on account of the dispensary
troubles there yesterday. On his return
from Washington to-day he read the re
ports in the papers and made the follow
ing statement: "The only thing about
it. seems to mo, is that there is a con
certed conspiracy there which will have
to be put down before It goes much fur
ther if it takes all tho troops
in the state to go down there.
And l will say further that Charleston
will have to pay the hills, for all the ex
penses should fall upon those who make
the trouble. 1 will see that the legisla
ture makes her pay the bills. I will de
clare martial law, too. if necessary before
1 will allow such overriding of the law
as seems to tie contemplated. Everyman in
South Carolina who knows Elliott knows
that he never struck a woman, and there
is not a man in Charleston who will stand
to his face and tell him that he did.”
A DOUBLE WEDDING.
It Took Place in the Waycross Baptist
Church.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. 25.—A double wed
ding took place at the Baptist church
in this city at 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The contracting
parties were Mr. Walter Lyon and Miss
Minnie L. Knight, and Mr. Edgar D.
Carswell and Miss Rosa A. McGee. Mr.
J. R. Knight escorted his daughter. Miss

drew back and were seated
near the arch. The couples faced
the minister. The marriage ceremony was
performed by Rev. \V. H. Scruggs. * The
newly married couples left on train No.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 26. 1894.
PUT A BULLET IN HER BRAIN
Mrs. Stella Akridge Commits Suicide
at Macon.
Going Into a Hardware Store She
Called for a Revolver -On Being
Shown How it Worked She Put it to
Her Temple and Fired the Fatal
Shot—Mrs. Akridge From Savannah.
Macon, Ga., Jan. 25.—Mrs. Stella Ab
ridge, a woman apparently about 30 years
of age, deliberately committed suicide in
a most sensational manner here this after
noon.
Shortly after 5 o'clock, a woman
dressed in a shabby brown skirt and
jacket, without any warm wrap,
though the wind was blow
ing cold from the north, walked
hurriedly into Stratton's gun store and
asked the clerk for a ladies’ pistol, and
was shown a small 32-calibre Bull Dog.
She asked if it would kill, and on being
assured that it would, asked to be shown
how it worked. The clerk did so, and at
her request loaded the weapon.
PUT A BUU.ET IN HER TEMPI-E.
“Now,” she said, cocking it, “will It
shoot ?” And before the affirmative was
well out of the mans mouth she placed It
to her right temple and fired. Keeling
backwards, she fell prone, and though she
breathed heavily for nearly an hour, she
died without recovering consciousness.
When searched by the coroner's Jury a
trunk check and key were found, and the
trunk being opened, it developed that the
woman was from Savannah.
SEEKING A DIVORCE.
letters in the trunk showed some deep
family trouble, and also that she was
seeking a divorce from her husband,
Thomas }’. Akridge, to whom she was
married in Fulton county, according to a
certificate found, on March 4, 1889. She
had been a member of the Baptist church
of Bainnridge, having a letter of dis
missal, dated last October, in the trunk.
Further particulars could not be learned
to-night. It is thought from the letters,
from which dates and signatures were
removed, that the woman originally came
from New Orleans. Her maiden name
was Stella Sanford.
CAROLINA’S GOVERNORSHIP.
Bowden’s Faction to Hold a Conven
tion in Spite of Tillman.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 25.—Editor Bow
den, of the Cotton Plant, and hi* sup
porters will disregard thedecision of Gov.
Tillman, Senator Irby, and other re
formers, not to hold a March convention,
and there is fun abend. Bowdan returned
from Washington to-day. He said: "I
interviewed ail the delegation from this
state, and am well satisfied that a March
convention will be held, called by the ex
ecutive committee of the farmers’ asso
ciation, and the people will rule it. I
don’t believe that the conference of the
bosses in Washington will have very ranch
effect on the action of the people in South
Carolina. I think it will pay better for
gubernatorial candidates hereafter to do
their work at home instead of spending
their time in electioneering with the ring
at the national capital.”
LETTER WRITING RULED OUT.
One of the amusing results of the con
ference is said to be the passage of a reso
lution preventing Senator Irby .from
writing any more letters to the papers. It
is stated that many of the secrets of re
form have leaked out by reason of these
recent communications that he has tele
graphed from Washington. Mr. Bowden
and his friends say that it is time for Gov.
Tillman to show his colors, and they con
sider that he is virtually committed to
Senator Trb.v’s candidate for the gover
norship, John Gary Evans. They declare
that the alliance is determined to have a
March convention.
WOODWARD IN A CELL.
Inability to Pay His Fine Apt to Land
Him In the Chain Gang.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 35.—G. K. Wood
ward, editor of a weekly labor paper pub
lished here during the hot prohibition
campaign several years ago. has been re
manded to Jail because of his failure to
pay a $l5O fine imposed upon him two
weeks ago. Woodward referred to Hon.
W. H. Venable, candidate for the state
senate, as one of the forty thieves, in his
paper Mr. Venable sued him for crimi
nal libel, and he was convicted. The
penalty was $l5O fine, or six months in
the chaingang. Woodward was giver, ten
days to raiso the money, but failed, ar and it
looks now as if he will have to go to the
gang. In addition to this punishment,
Woodward was terribly horse-whipped
by Mr. Venable on account of his charge.

M’CREARY’S REPORT ON HAWAII.
The Democrat* of the Foreign Affairs
Committee Adopt It.
Washington, Jan. 25.—The House com
mittee on foreign affairs to-day, by a
strict party vote, authorized Representa
tive McCreary, of Kentucky, to report
favorably on his resolution defining the
attitude of congress towards Hawaii.
The resolution reads as follows, and will
probably be reported to the House to
morrow :
Resolved. That ft is the sense of this
House that the action of the United States
minister in employing United States naval
forces and in illegally aiding in the over
throwing of the constitutional government of
the Hawaiian Islands in January. 1803, and in
setting up in its place a provisional govern
ment not republican in form and in opposi
tion to the will of a majority of the people,
was contrary to the traditions of our republic
and the spirit of our constitution, and should
be. and is condemned.
2. That we heartily approve of the principle
announced by the President of the United
Slates that interference with the domestic
affairs of an independent nation is contrary
to the spirit of American institutions: and it
is the further sense of this House that the an
nexation of the Hawaiian Islands to our coun
try, or the assumption of a protectorate over
them by our government, is uncalled for and
Is Inexpedient; that the people of the country
should have absolute freedom and Inde
pendence in pursuing their own line of policy,
and that foreign Intervention in political
affairs in the islands will not be regarded
with indifference by the government of the
United States.
THE REPUBLICANS TO MAKE A REPORT.
The resolution represents the sentiment
of the nine democratic members of the
committee, and will form the basis of
discussion of the Hawaiian matter in the
House.
Chairman McCreary expects to bring
the matter to the attention of the House
as soon as the tariff bill is disposed of, on
Tuesday or Wednesday next.
The republican members of the commit
tee spoke and voted against the resolu
tion, anh will file a minority report and
substitute for the McCreary resolution.
Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, tbe leading repub
lican on the committee, was unable to at
tend the meeting to-day on account of
sickness. He wili probably draw up the mi
nority report and substitute for the Mc-
Creary resolution. The nature of the re
port and substitute cannot be ascer
tained until Mr. Hitt has been consulted
by his republican colleagues.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 25.—A dispatch

closed its mines because of a strike. From
800 to 1,000 men are thrown out of work.
Manager James last week discharged
three miners. The Knights of Labor de
manded their reinstatement. The man
ager refused the demands, and the strike
is the consequence. Tho Dayton compa
