The Proceeding* n Fight Between
the State and Federal Authori
ties.
Macon. Ga., May 24 —The United States
court room was crowded this morning at
10 o'clock, when the habeas corpus in the
case of Deputy United States Marshals
John Kelly and Bob and Chen Garrison,
charged with the murder of Lucius L.
Williams, was commenced before Judge
Speer. Since the arrival of the deputies
In Macon oil Monday morning from Tel
fair they have been in the custody of a
deputy marshal in Macon. This morning
United States Marshal Harrell delivered
them over to Sheriff Alligood of Telfair
county. This was a mere form of law.
as they bad to be in charge of the sheriff
before the habeas .corpus hearing could
properly proceed. Among those present
was the wife of John M. Williams, a
woman about 16 years old. She had her in
fant in her arms, a pretty child. John M.
Williams is only about 21 years of age.
and Stephen Williams is about 18 years
old. These men, who have been in Jail
since they were brought to Macon, were
In court.
In response to an Inquiry of Judge Speer,
United States District Attorney Gary stat
ed that he was present in his official eapac
ly by order of United States Attorney Gen
eral Olney to be present to represent the
deputies. He also answered that he had
associated in the case Marion Erwin as
the special attorney of the deputies.
Col. John Preston stated that he repre
sented Sheriff Alligood of Telfair, and Hon.
Tom Eason of Telfair was associated with
him as the solicitor general of his circuit
to represent Sheriff Alligood and the state.
There were quite a number of witnesses
present for both sides. Among the witness
es examined was John Kelly, the deputy
marshal who tired the shots that killed old
man Williams. His statement was thrill
ing throughout. He described to the court
how he shot Williams. His story was sub
stantially the same as has appeared in the
Morning News. The evidence is volumi
nous and brings out the full story of the
famous feud that began before the assas
sination of John C. Forsyth. It will take
four or five days to conclude the hearing.
Atlanta Ga., May 24.—Gov. Atkinson has
been requested to send Attorney General
Terrell to Telfair county to take charge
of the case against the alleged murderers
of old maa Williams. The federal court
claims Jurisdiction and the defendants
are endeavoring to have their case tried
In that court. Attorney General Terrel's
services are wanted to keep the case in
the state courts. After consultation to
day, it was decided that Attorney General
Terrel! should go to Telfair next week to
look after the case.
ANDERSON VI LLE’S HIOT SCARE.
The County Must Bear the Expenne
ot Employing Guard*.
Atlanta, Ga., May 24.—Notwithstanding
the fact that several urgent appeals with
long petitions have been made to the gov
ernor to see that the peace is preserved at
Andersonvllle on Decoration day, the 30th,
the officials of Sumter county have enter
ed a vigorous kick against having to foot
the bill for the employment of a posse to
assist the sheriff as Gov. Atkinson di
rected last week, when the second appeal
vas made to him by the women of the
town. The whole community is afraid that
there will be a riot, as hundreds of ne
groes, who gather there every year, are
particularly feared this year in view of the
bloody affray of last Decoration day. The
sheriff, however, thinks it is the state’s
place to bear the expense of preserving
the peace, and has notified the governor
that he cannot summons a posse out of the
county's funds. Gov. Atkinson has In
formed the sheriff that he will not modify
his former order, which is that a company
of military will be kept in waiting at
Amerlcus to put down riot if needed. Be
yond that the county authorities must
look after the crowd themselves. Reports
are that there will be a tremendous gath
ering of negroes at Andersonvllle, includ
ing several military eompanies.and if there
should be a riot it will be a serious one.
LIBERIA A DEATH TRAP.
Nothing But Suffering In Store for
the Negro Inimtgruiit*.
Brunswick, Ga., May 24.—C. A. Shaw, a
prominent colored citizen of Brunswick,
and grand chanchellor of the Knights of
Pythias for Georgia, handed the Morning
News correspondent to-day a letter Just
received from a missionary who has been
located for sixteen years at Monrovia,
Africa, where the steamship Horsa landed
■with Its cargo of negro emigrants from
Georgia. The letter was dated April 8,
and says In regard to the emigrants: “Most
of the emigrants landed to-day. They were
not expected and no preparations were
made for their reception. Some are sick,
and one man will scarcely survive a
month. A child one month cld was buried
yesterday on shore. It saddens me to see
the people come here. The poorest person
in the United States has a better chance
In the United States than here. This com
pany will see suffering. Mules, horses
and even donkeys cannot live here. Ad
vise people to stay where they are. Nearly
all have to undergo the acclimating fever.
Many of them die of it, but it is almost
ure to meet them and it takes the cour
age all out of most persons.
. “(Signed) Mary A. Sharp.”
Shaw is anxious that the colored people
know the true status of affairs in Africa,
as it is. He Is prominent in the work of
keeping his people in this country.
FIGHT OF THE RAILROADS.
A Battle Royal Between the Seaboard
and tbe Association.
Atlanta, Ga., May 24.—The Southern
Railway and Steamship Association will
go deep down into Its purse to employ a
strong array of legal talent to defend the

MIRDERED AT JESUP.
The Murderer Arrested end the
Crime Confessed.
Jesup, Ga., May 24.—About I o'clock yes
terday morning Oliver McCoy, colored,
was found lying in a ditch near the water
tank of the Southern railroad at this
place with his throat cut and stabbed a
number of times in the head. He was
alive, but unconscious, lie was moved
to the house of Sarah Bolds and died In a
few minutes after reaching the house.
The killing was a mystery, and there was
no trace as to who the murderer was.
During the day a negro by the name of
Prince Grady was viewing the dead man,
and made some suspicious remarks in the
presence of Mr. E. L. Kishback. Grady
immediately arrested by Mr. Fish
back and turned over to Sheriff Lyons.
Grady stoutly denied that he was guilty
of the crime and appeared very indignant
at his arrest. Sheriff Lyons, Deputy
Sheriff Goodbread and Marshal Moore
went to work on the ease, and soon secur
ed etlaenee sufficient to convict Grady of
the killing. Grady was informed by the
officers that they had sufficient evidence
to convict him with the killing. He broke
down and admitted his guilt, but claimed
that he killed McCoy In self defense, and
in his statement before the coroner’s in
quest said that McCoy was trying to cut 1
him. This statement is no: believed. It :
is the opinion of everybody that It was a
cold blooded murder and that there were j
more connected with it tnan Grady. Cor
oner Green, after taking testimony last j
evening and this morning, ordered the
arrest of John Grady. the brother of !
Prince, and he Is now connnetUn Jail. The
coroner's Jury Is still take" testimony
with the hope of getting tne whole truth. |
Much praise is due the officers here, and ;
especially Sheriff Lyons, as he had traced I
the murderer, from the killing to the |
house of Prince Grady before Grady was ,
arrested. The News correspondent inter
viewed the prisoner ut the Jail and In an
swer to a question. Prince Grady said:
■'Yes, sir, I killed him, but done it In self
defense. I owed him some money, and he
told me it I did not pay hln\ he would kill
me. I told him I could not pay him all,
but would pay him a part. He drew his
knife and cut at me. I drew mine, and cut
him and kept cutting him until he fell,
and then got down over him and stabbed
him several times, and then dragged him
up the ditch a piece and pulled him out In
the hushes. My brother John had nothing
to do with the killing." John Grady would
have nothing to say, except that he did not
assist his brother In the killing.
The coroner's Jury is still in session.

4 snlrnl of Her Proper!y.—Mrs Ber
rsford Now Confined In a Private
Anylain Against Her XX'lll.
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—Gov. Atkinson to
day received through Attorney J. XV. Ech
ols of this city, a letter from the attorneys
- representing the family of Mrs. Sidney La
scelles, wife of the noted Lord Beresford,
now doing time at the Gress convict camp,
protesting vehemently against the pardon
ing of his lordship. The letter is very bit
ter against Beresford. who is denounced
by the writers In unmistakable terms as a
rascal of the deepest dye. The writers of
the letter declare that in their opinion to
pardon Beresford would he a great mis
take, and they close their communication
with the statement that their cl'.Snts’wlll
tight to the hitter end against Beresford
receiving his release. The relatives of Mrs.
Lascelles Beresford, who was a Miss Ltl
llenthal, a wealthy heiress of New X'ork,
have nat been able to Induce her to apply
for a divorce from her convict husband and
admit to the governor that If Beresford
is released and allowed to see his wife they
will never be able to do so. At this time
Mrs. Lascelles is confined In a private san
itarium against her wishes by her family
and with the ulterior motive of coercing
her in this matter. The cause for all this
is the fact that her family Is a wealthy one.
she herself having a fortune in her own
right, and that If her husband is released,
she will go to hint and that he will come
into the control of her property.
The family failing so far in their at
tempts to force Mrs Beresford to bring
action for divorce is now turning Its at
tention to Beresford himself and the fight
a-alnst his pardon will he a hard one. Le
gal talent has been engaged both in Geor
gia and in New York city for this purpose.
In Atlanta John XX. Echols, who figured
conspicuously In the prosecution of Harry
Hill, posing as the confidential agent of
J. H. Porter, has tlie* matter In charge and
the New York attorneys are Messrs. Black
& King.

on the Table,
Tallahassee, Fla., May 24.—1n the Sen
ate to-day the substitute for the railroad
commission bill was laid on the table, a

discussed fit length.
In the House the following bills were
introduced: One authorizing the county

of constructing roads; one authorizing a
married woman who Is a “free dealer,”
to sell or mortgage her real estate.
The general revenue bill was then taken

The Jacksonville charter bill was passed
on its second reading and will be called
up on its final passage to-moirow.
The bill amending the statute prescrib
ing the time and place for holding the
circuit courts in the several judicial cir

vent tho taking of fish In the Anclotc
river.
The bill relating to surety and guaran
tee companies was also passed.
The course of legislation Is badly
clogged here, and the next few days are
likely to be lively ones.

Athens, Ga., May 24.—Some time since
on the Macon and Northern road, near
Godfrey, a trestle was fired by an incen
diary, and the engine, bearing with it
the body of Engineer Gay, plunged
through to the creek below. Enginer
Gay was killed almost instantly. No clew

since this watch was found in Atlanta,
and its possession was traced back to a
