leaving got out the vice president of th
Bank of Monroe, became frightened about

that be had dtsooveret $5,000 or $6,000

structed to raise sib.ooJ to pay the notes
off so that no publicity would be given to
the matter. He said that Mrs. Porter
was at the Kimball and would sign
the proper papers. ‘T said that
I would nave nothing further to do with
the matter, and my inward reflection was
that the lady was standing on a powder
faagazine— m a financial way. I said that
>d bed and if I was going to strike
• match under a powder magazine.”
T. B. Neal, president of the Neal Bank,
testified the same as Mr. Thornton.

flight, testified that Col. Echols told him
that Mrs. Porter would pay him back
this money, and also SB,OOO more which he
had indorsed for Harry Hill and the Wil
son Whisky Company.
THE ATTACK ON ECHOLB.
The defense here began a bold gsme of
Impeachment against Col. Echols, which
Created a very’ decided sensation. Col.
Echols was the picture of excitement as
the evidence impeaching his veracity was
entered into. Great beads of perspiration
were to be seen on his face, and every
body was waiting to see how it would re
sult.
L. B. Nelson, a wealthy capitalist,
swore that he would not believe John W.
Echols on oath.
W. E. Hill testified likewise. He was
• cousin of the defendant.
Ed McCandless also swore that he
would not believe Col. Echols on oath.
He married the defendant's second cousin.
Mr. Chamberlin, one of the leading
merchants of the city, swore that he
would not believe Col. Echols on oath.
A RALLY TO HIS DEFENSE.
At this point the defense began the in
troduction of testimony to sustain the
character of Col. Echols. The first wit
ness. George C. Hall, said that he had
lived in Oglethorpe county, where he bad
known Col. Echols. He would believe
him on oath.
Dr. Gibson, the eminent Baptist divine,
said that he did not know his general
character in Atlanta, but he did know it
in Oglethorpe county. He would believe
him on oath.
Samuel Young, president of the Fidel
ity Bank, said he would believe Col. Ech
ols on oath. He denied making a con
trary statement to L. B. Nelson
Charles B. ltounette, cashier of the Fi
delity Bank, swore likewise.
LAWYER BILL INTRODUCED.
Lawyer W. P. Hill was introduced. He
said that he had not stated to L,. B. Nel
son that he would not believe Col.
Echols on oath, but that he thought him
a big liar.
George R. Dessaussure, C. W. Hunni
cutt, W. B. I>ester and Rev. R. D. Striek
ler indorsed the veracity of Col. Echols.
Capt. W. W. Draper said lie would be
lieve the witness on oath. He had heard
nothing against him except that he was a
“sort of gas bag.”
Capt. J. YV. Morrow and John Doonan,
both officials of the Georgia railroad
while Hill was a conductor on that rail
road, indentified his signature on the dis
puted confession.
Cashier Thornton, of the Neal Bank,
was allowed to take the stand to swear
that he would not believe Col. Echols on
oath and then the case was olosod.
Reuben Arnold, Jr., Mrs. Porter's
nephew, made the opening argument
upon the line that Hill had forged her
name because he did not think she would
hand Hill over to the law in view of the
money favors she had already done him.

Will Begin.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. I.—The
! completion of the Waycross Air
| Line, giving a direct line from the great
northwest to St. Mary's, Ga., via the

There is a probability- that work will be
-1 gin on the extension of the road in a short
lime. The road will extend from St.
Mary’s, Ga., to Fort Valley, where it will
connect with the Atlanta and Florida
line. For several years the extension of
the road has been spoken
of. but until recently no particu
lar effort was made in that direction.
Some time ago Capt. L. Johnson,
the superintendent of the Air-Line, stated
to the Morning News correspondent that
the road would have been completed be
fore now, but the stringency of the times
made it| mpractu able. He said that in the
near future the company would begin
work.
It is rumored that Mrs. Alexander
Mitchell, of Jacksonville, is negotiating
with the Air-Line, through H. W. Reed,
to invest largely in its stock. The same
rumor 'also has it that Capt. Reed will
also be interested personally in the road.
L. Weiss will give up the management
of the Southern hotel to-morrow, and
will be succeeded by Whelpley and Pen

THE MORNING NEWS: ERL DAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1894.
HINKLE DECLARED CPILTY.
A Recommendation of Imprisonment
for Life Goes With It.
The Jury Out Three and a Half Hours.
The Polling of the Jury After the
Verdict Drowned by the Lamenta
tions of the Doomed Man a Wlfs.
The Son to Be Tried Now.
Americus, Ga., Feb. I.—“We the Jury
find the defendant, J. B. Hinkle guilty,
and recommend that he be imprisoned for
life.”
That was the verdict of the Jury in the
Hinkle case as rendered at 4 o'clock this
afternoon, three and a half hours after
the conclusion of the charge of Judge
Fish.
Col. Berner concluded his masterful
argument for the prosecution at 11:45
o’clock, having spoken about six hours.
Words cannot fully convey the estimate
the people have placed upon his favorable
and convincing presentation of the case
as represented by the prosecution.
The ladies began to gather in the court
room before 7 o'clock, though he was not
to appear before 8 :S0 o’clock. From 8:30
o’clock until his close not a seat or stand
ing room was unoccupied. His speech
was the culmination of intellectual effort,
armed with the invincible armor of
Justice. There was never more trium
phant victory of intellect in the cause of
Justice in the courts of the state.
When the Jury retired to their room
after the charge of the judge, which was
most impartial, and which occupied Just
fifty minutes in its delivery. They stood
seven for "guilty” and five for guilty with
recommend for life imprisonment. The
disposition of the majority "to lean to
mercy’s side” was the cause of the ver
dict made.
The defense was so surprising that when
the verdict waa announced by the fore
man of the Jury the wail of anguish from
the sorrow-stricken wife of the doomed
man for a time drowned the efforts to poll
the jury.
There has not been an intimation of the
Intentions of the defense as to an appeal.
The sentiment of the people is that the
verdict is a just one.
The son, A. B. Hinkle, is yet to be tried.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.
A Sandersville Family Annoyed in a
Mysterious Manner.
Sandersville, Ga. Feb. I.—A great deal
of excitement was caused one morning
this week by the finding of an ax in the
parlor of Mr. Louis Holt. No one could
account for it being there. Previous to
this brickbats and pieces of wood had
been thrown at the lady of the house on
several nights while she was standing on
her back porch. Monday night a piece of
coal was thrown through the window,
shivering the glass and frightening those
in the house. Every effort is being made
to find out the miscreant. Should he be
found he will be severely dealt with.
Mrs. Tabitha Pughsley, an aged and
highly respected lady of this place, died
yesterday morning of paralysis of the
heart. She had risen and was lighting
the fire in her room when she was seized
with paroxysms of pain. She was as
sisted to her bed ana expired In a few
moments.
A physician was heard to remark a few
days since that this section of the coun
try hadn’t had weather sufficiently cold
to kill the gnats and mosquitoes and de
stroy the malaria germs; that should
there be no severe weather he predicted
much sickuess this year.

Bros, are drawing off the pond for the
purpose of repairing the mill and catch

one, covering about 100 acres, and has

larger.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts ot. the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
