2 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. TBS COUNTY COURT.

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 Minnie Knight, down tue right aisle to the arch and Miss Rosa McGee was ac companied by her father. Mr. D. A. Mc- Gee. down the left aisle. They were met at the arch by Mr. Walter Lyon and Mr. Edgar Carswell, who came through the ante room. The brides' pa rents 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. 78. Mr. and Mrs. Carswell will make their future home in Charleston. S. C., and Mr. and Mrs. Lyon will make Way cross their home. *t Dr. G. R. Thigpen, of HomerviUe. and Miss Minnie Jeffords, of Waycross. were married at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. 1). Jeffords, last night. 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. Mr. Childs Batter. Philadelphia. Jan. 25.—A bulletin given out by George W. Childs’ physicians thi6 morning said tho patient was stronger and in better condition to-day than at an.) time since his illness began. MEDICAL.

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. COAL MINERS STRIKE. Nearly 1,000 Men Go Out Because Three Were Discharged. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 25.—A dispatch from Chattanooga says a report has reached that city that the Dayton Coal & Iron Cos., has blown out its furnaces and 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 ny** property is located at Dayton, in East Tennessee, and is owned principally by parties in Scotland.
