pose of shewing that the acquaintance
between the prisoner and Mrs. Porter,
was very intimate were these by Col.
Rucker: “Do you remember. Mrs. Porter,
giving Mr. Hill SSOO at the entrance to
the postoffice in December, 1891 ?”
“No. sir," replied the witness curtly
•nd promptly.
“Were you in New York in ISS6?’’
“Yes. sir."
“Was Harry Hill there?”
“He was.”
“Did you meet him in the Dairy Kitchen
restaurant and give him $1,OUO?”
“I did not, sir.”
“Did you cash a draft for him?”
“No. sir.”
It was brought out further on that a
draft for *I.OOO was cashed by one Mr.
Boyd for Hill, Mr. Boyd being a friend of
Mr Porter.
“Mrs. Porter,” asked Col. Rucker,
“did you give Mr. Hill a Christmas pres
ent of SSOO in 1886, giving him the money
in your library at home?”
“I did not, sir."
“Do you remember driving out in your
Carriage with Mr. Hill in June, 1888, and
giving him S2OO, then?'’
“No, sir.”
“Did you hand Mr. Hill an envelope
with 8300 in it on the train between here
and Macon in 1888?”
"No. sir.”
“Did you send him $350 in 1889,while he
was ruuning on the West Point road by
Alfred Reynolds?”
“No, sir.”
“Did you apply to John Ryan for S3OO
for Hill and send it to him by express?"
• “No, air.”
ONCB SENT HIM $350.
Mrs. Porter admitted that she had sent
Hill $250 by express.
“Did Mr. Hill visit you at your country
home in Clarkosville?”
"Yes sir. several times. I had a num
ber of visitors there, keepingopen house.”
Mrs. Porter gave the court the names
•fa number of well-known people who
were her guests at Clarkesville. Her
children were there also.
“Did you tell Broker Powers that you
wanted that *1.200 to buy horses with?”
(mil drove a fine team, and had bragged
that a lady presented them to him.)
“No, air,” was the emphatic reply.
“Did you meet Mr. Bill at the corner of
'Walton and Forsyth streets in 1889 and
give him $250. which you borrowed from
George P. Pryor!”
“1 did not.”
“Do you remember driving up to the
Forsyth street entrance to the postoffice,
when Mr. Hill met you and you gave him
■ package of $2,000?”
DIDN'T SLIP $2,000 IN HIS POOXKT.
“No. sir.”
“Do you then remember slipping $2,000
tn Mr. Hill’s overcoat pocket while he was
driving with you, and telling him not to
look at the package until he went to his
room?”
“I do not. Mr. Hill hasrldden with me
In my carriage, however, many times.”
Mrs. Porter denied having giving Hill a
■umber of notes about which she was
questioned, but admitted that she gave
him one note for S2OO in April, 1898, and
Indorsed another and put up cemetery
stock to secure It. This one she has paid,
howeyer, and got her stock back.
“Did you go driving with Mr. Hill to
the water works in February, 1898, and
give him $250 which you borrowed from
Mr. Tom Irwin, or did you give him S3OO
in your carriage near the Jewish Syna
gogue TANARUS”
“No, sir,” was the reply.
“Did you ever go to see Mr. 1111 l at his
office?”
“I did. I went to his whisky store in
company with a friend.”
Mrs. Porter admitted that in February,
1893, she had given SB,OOO In notes to John
Nichols to be dlsoonnted in New York or
Philadelphia, the money to be used by
Hill. He wanted to pay oft some debt on
bis farm. The money was not to lie in
vested by her in the whisky business.
THE MOST DAM tot NO TE9TIMONT.
The most damaging testimony was
brought out by Mrs. Porter's admission
that she put $20,000 worth of bank stock
in the hands of Col. Echols as her agent.
She wonted to raise money to pay off
Hill’s forged notes, she said, the report
of the existence of which had Just come
to her. Neither her husband nor brother
knew of the existence of theso notes, and
neither did they know of the effort she
was makiug to pay them. Col.
Echols, who was Hill’s partner in
business as well as her agent,
first told her of these notes. Mrs,
Porter became a little confused at this
point, finally Btatiug that she only sent
the bank stock to the Neal Bank, where
she was informed the forged notes had
been sold, to show that she could pay the
notes if they were good, but they were
forgeries and she did not pay them,
ACK NOWI.KPOSM ENT OF THE CORLEY NOTE.
Among the alleged forged notes, one for
$1,400 is held by John Corley. Before
buying the note Corley sent his son-in-law
out to see if it was good. Referring to
this, Mrs. Porter testified: “I was across
the street at a neighbor’s whon Mr. Hill
dropped in. He went home with me, and
on the way said he had done something
that would anger me. Ho then asked me
to admit a note that would be presented
to me at my house. I asked him if he
had forged my name. He would not ac
knowledge this. Mr. Peter Clarke came
to see the next day about the note.”
“Did you not make an appointment to
meet him when your husband had gone
to town?” interrupted Col. Rucker. “But
Mr. Porter was still at home whon Clarke
came, and you met him at the door, and
told him the note .was all right without
letting him inside?”
“No sir," replied the witness, “whon
Mr. Clarke came I saw him at the door,
but made no appointment. I was fright
ened and told him the note would lie paid.
I did not say it was my signature."
HILL iXD MRS. PORTER IN SAVANNAH.
The fact that Hill was with Mrs.
Porter in Savannah during the
centennial celebration and that
they went to Cumberland island
from there in the same party was brought
.out. Hill went to see Mrs. Porter at her
home a few days before he first skipped
out, and the witness admitted several
conferences with him and his aunt, Mrs.
Casey, at the Kimball, just be
fore his departure, the last of
these meetings occurring on the day he
left. The defense tried to show that Mrs.
Porter went to the Kimball House to dis
cuss the Wilson Whisky Corajieny busi
ness, which she had determined to be
come a partner in, but Mrs. Porter de
nied this.
NOT WARNED BY MRS. CASEY.
“Did not Mrs. Casey say to you.” she
was asked, “that if you went into the
whisky business with a young man like
Hill without the knowledge or consent of
your husband that it would come out
sooner or later and the result would be
the sad breaking up of a home?”
Mrs. Porter did not recall such a warn
ing. She also denied offering to give Hill
S2UO and SIOO a month if he woiud leave
the city until the troublesome cote could
be settled, and said her husband knew
nothing of these notes until after Hill
left
“Asa matter of fact,” Col. Rucker asked,
“did not your husband telegraph New
York and Philadelphia, when that $6,000
was to be gotton by Echols, and in that
way prevent the placing of those notes f”
“No, sir.” the witness replied. “Not
that I knew of.”
LETTERS REPmiATED.
A lot of letters alleged to have been
written to Hill by Mrs. Porter were pre
sented, but she denied all of them. The
defense asked that she write a few
lines m order to see her cbirography,
but Mrs. Porter's lawyers would
Hot allow thii. These letters will
figure later on.
H Thornton, cashier of the Neal
■ Bank, where Col. Echols tried to get
money on Mrs. Porter’s bank stock, and
where 13,100 of the alleged forged paper
was placed, was examined.
John M. Robinson, who acted for Hill In
selling some of the notes, was also intro
duced.
Witnesses for the defense will be put
upon the stand in the morning.
FATHER BAZIN.
A Rumor That He is to Leave St.
Joseph’s Church.
Washington, Ga., Jan. 30.—Itisrumored
here that Rev. Father Bazin, who has
charge of St. Joseph’s church and the
Male Orphanage, is about to be called to
another field of labor, and although only
a rumor, it has caused great sorrow
among his very devoted parishioners and
also among his many non-Catholic friends,
who would deeply regret to lose one
whom they love and admire so much.
Being very anxious about the matter, and
remembering the familiar saying,
“Where you see a smoke look out for
the tire," 1 spoke to Father Bazin
last evening just as he stepped off the
car at the depot, and asked him if it were
true that he was about to leave Washing
ton. He laughed and in his happy genial
manner, said : "You are the second gen
tleman who put that question to me to
day, but I have heanl nothing of it myself,
therefore can throw no light on the sub
ject.” Father Ba/in is an excellent gen
tleman and devoted to his priestly duties.
His deep and solid virtues shine forth in
all his actions to light and guide the little
but very appreciative flock confided to
bis care, and we would certainly
deem his departure a serious loss. The
congregation at Washington, Ga., is Justly
proud of their worthy pastor anu can
boast of having In him the finest and
most eloquent preacher in the south. H e
is a man of good business qualities, and to
find out his success in that line, you have
only to visit the St. Joseph Male Orphan
age, where he has worked so faithfully
for so many years.
HINKLE CASE ARGUMENTS.
Solicitor Hudson Makes a Strong
Speech for the Prosecution.
Americus. Ga., Jan. 30.—Tho Hinkle
case was resumed this morning by Solic
itor Hudson appearing before the jury to
make his argument for the prosecution.
He was suffering from the grip. After
speaking for more than an hour he was
forced to suspend for a few minutes, to
rest his voice. He concluded at 11 -.30
o'clock, having spoken two and a half
hours. While his stieech was not as
elaborate as those of the advocates for
the defense who precededhim.it is gen
erally conceded that his argument was a
very forcible presentation of the evidence
upon which the prosecution rely for con
viction.
When Solicitor Hudson had concluded,
Judge T#iggs began the closing argument
for the defense. When court adjourned
at 5:80 o’clock, he had spoken nearly live
hours, and it is given out that he is about
half done. His speech, so far, has not
met the expectations of those who have
budded upon reports of his powers as a
logician and orator.
Public interest in the case keeps up to
the highest point In every class of society.
To-day there was not standing room in
the court house, and when Mr. Berner
speaks there will not be accommodation
for half the people who will apply for ad
mittance.
A BANK TO BE PUT ON ITS FEET.
The First National of Brunswick to
Start Under a Now Head.
Brunswick, Ga , Jan. 30.—For sometime
past negotiations have been going on with
a view to reorganizing the First National
Hank ofoßrunswick, which closed its
doors about a year ago. Tho Morning
News correspondent has it from what is
considered a reliable source that an agree
ment hss been reached between H. W.
Keed, of Wuycroos, representing foreign
capital, and the creditors of the First
INatiomU, whereby Mr. Heed will assume
the liabilities of the bank and pay them
dollar for dollar. The same au
thority In speaking to the
Morning News correspondent stated
that the large surplus which would
undoubtedly accrue to tho shareholders
of the First National would be used to in
crease the capital of the new bank, which
will be known as the Brunswick National
Hank. All the arrangements have been
perfected for the new bank to open on
March 1, and while every creditor of the
First National has felt certain of the pay
ment of their claims, this arrangement
insures full payment at an earlier date
than could be had through a receiver, and
is gratifying to all concerned. Col. W.
E. Kay and W. E. Burbage, prominent
members of the reorganization committee,
will join Mr. Reed in Washington this
week to arrange with the controller for
the change.
AUGUSTA’S MILITARY.

LITIGATION OVER LAND.
Augusta Heirs Interested In a Big
Suit at Baltimore.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 30.—The children of
P. Hansberger in this city are interested
in a mammoth litigation, which has Just
begun in Baltimore, and have boon writ
ten to by the parties who are moving in
it. They are descendants of Stephen
Mass, who was a large land ovyner in
Maryland a hundred years ago. It seems
that Stephen Mass would not deed away
any of his real estate, but leased it for
niuty-nine years, to revert to his lawful
heirs at the expiration of that time.
Some 2bo acres of this lami
lies in the heart of the city
of Baltimore, and is estimated to be
worth now, with the improvements on it,
muuy millions of dollars. Tho time or
the leases is now expiring. Some of them
expired last year, and others will do so
this and next year. About flfty heirs
have united ana introduced proceedings
to recover the estate. Should tho litiga
tion be successful, Mr. Hansberger’s
children would be very wealthy.

ANOTHER RAID AT CHARLESTON.
Police Clear the Streets as an Advance
Ouard for the Spies.
Charleston, Jan. 30.—Things were lively
in the whisky war here to-day. About 2
o’clock a battalion of spies, armed to the
teeth, and with their weapons in hand,
swooped down upon the saloon of Fred
McKay. In Market street, which had al
ready been raided and looted on throe
previous occasions. As usual, they found
nothing but sarsaparilla. The raid, how
ever, was peculiar for the military man
ner in which it was conducted.
A platoon of armed policemen accom
panied the spies, some fifteen in num
ber. and deploying across Market street,
which was very crowded, swept every
body out of the street. The Washington
Light Infantry was.not called out.
During the raid a man named Marks,
an employe of McKay, ordered the con
stables out of the store. They responded
by drawing their guns and Marks was
speedily sent to the police station in the
black maria.
About the same time, but in another
part of the city, J. H. Howard, a citizen
who was standing on the sidewalk, waa
accosted by K. H. Pepper, one of the
spies, who, drawing his gun, ordered
Howard lo move on. Pepper will be ar
rested on the charge or assault with a
deadly weapon, but even if convicted will
be pardoned by Gov. Tillman.
Three persons charged with leading the
riot on Wednesday last were arrested to
day and gave bond for their appearance.
The prosecution, it is said, is urged by
the police authorities of the city.
GAINESVILLE DOTS.
A Packing House Destroyed by
Fire.
Gainesville, Fla., Jan. 30.—The second
daughter of J. A. Carlisle, ex-clrcuit
court clerk, died, after an illness of three
weeks, on Saturday night, and was bur
ied Sunday evening.
The packing house of Charles Col
clough was destroyed by fire on Satur
day night, with contents, consisting of
harrows, mowers, plows and farming
tools, besides a large quantity of
hay. He (thinks tramps left fire in the
house.
An ingenious contrivance has been in
vented by A. J. McArthur, an alderman
ol this city. It is anew and superior
method of attaching thills to vehicles.
The shafts can be put on and off in an
instant, and all rattling is obviated by a
thumb screw.
The water mains, after many troubles
and vicissitudes, running through nearly
three years, were put down to the Florida
Central and Peninsular raii-aad, and
there the engineer and contractor were
confronted with another trouble of “don’t
trespass upon my property," and the whole
plan having to be changed on this oac
count another delay has been caused.
"What fools these mortals be.” It is said
that the corporation known as the "Pied
mont Phosphate Company near Ocala has
sold recently a portion of its land for $20,-
uOU. W. L. Pattern, who was a helper in
tho drilling of the so-called artesian well
here, went crazy and died a few days ago
in the lunatic asylum at Chattanooga. It
is not to be wondered at that any man
who hus had business relations with
those having charge of the Gainesville
water works should go crazy and even
die.

grading the road, with a view to moving
their work shops, so us to be more conve
niently situated and to get room for the
construction of a cotton compress. This
road's cotton traffic is improving year by
year, and a compress would be a great
advantage.
The Tennille and Wrlghtsville road
managers deservo much praise for their
enterprise.
An ice factory is contemplated by a

prise is a commendable one. The dealers
in ice here ship over the Augusta South
