city to shoot hi- brains out this morn
lng
Within the past two or three weeks
young Parrott's losses in specti ation, it is
sail! upon re-ital ic information amounted
to $9V*"". ruiripi* * tv - . - r out liis toni
ng. and throwing him hack upon his own
ability to make his tv iv in life-. It is true
the young man \\ i.-i have been well pro
vided for financially out of the fortune
of his father or of he- nife, had heeh""-<n
to a-; t the situation, but the thought
of dependence, where he had formerly
beer, in lependent, was too disheartening
to him, and rather than endure it he
formed and exe< uted a deliberate plan of
eelf-destruction.
It has been known about town for sev
eral days past that young Parrott had
dissipated his fortune in stock and grain
gambling, but as his fa'hcr is worth a
quarter of a million, and being the only
eon. in whom the father had always been
well pleased, none of his friends expect, I
tiim to take such a strenuous view of
the future. For several years past he
Iral been actively engaged in various busi
jips senterprise, and has gained the repu
tation of a remarkable sagacious >nd tar
seeing one in his short career. He was
strictly temperate, and was never wi.d. So
far as any one knows, he had never
speculated any until a few months ago,
when he bought his first experience bv
the loss of sr,,oort in stocks operations. This
111- father paid for him as a wedding pres
ent, the deal having b on made Just at the
time of liis marriage ten months ago. It
was thought that this experience would
be sufficient to make the young man con
tented with legitimate business pursuits
5n future, but during the past few weeks
the sensational activity in the wheat mar
ket dazzled him and he determined to lay
for a high stake.
Accordingly he drew' $30,000 out of certain
business enterprises in which he was in
terested and ht gan 10 operate. He thought
that wheat was sure to go tumbling down
after the first day or two of its upward
light and so made all his contracts to sell.
In a very short time the cash with which
lie had started out was gone and his father
laid been drawn on for SSB non This amount
the father paid out on hi- checks. Then
the young man deeded over all his proiiet
ty to his father to reimburse him.
After seeing his fortune go to the wind
young Parrott declared that he would go
to New York and earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow. He wanted to go in
newspaper work. He did go to the
metropolis, but returned In a few days
without having met with any success. His
father offered to put him upon Ills feet
again and place him in a lucrative posi
tion, but he resisted all these paternal of
fers of assistance as well as rejecting pe
cuniary aid from Ills wife, who had a
handsome dower. His losses preyed upon
him and he began to talk of suicide. He
told his father a day or two ago that this
was the only thing left for him.
Mr. Parrott, Sr., and otlu r members of
his fami.y talk'd and reasoned with him.
and yesterday afternoon he seemed to
yield to their cheering words, and prom
ised to abandon all thought of the rash
act that he had threatened. The prom,
ise was only, however, made to disarm
suspicion and cause tiie young mans fam
ily to relax in their anxious watch over
him.
l.ast night after b-a ho told his wife that
he must return to his office to look after
some business affairs. In the city he met
a friend and the two went to Ills office
together. There Parrott found a biter
dunning him f<. • $2.50u. which he had for
gotten in making up a list of his losses.
This upset him, and while his friend's
back tins turned he took out a pistol and
was about to shoot him:- If when the
friend interferred. This frleml remained
with him until after midnight, and only
took his leave when young Parrott start
ed home, promising that he would not
repeat his attempt to take Ills life. The
pistol m> untime having been locked up In
Ids offiee d'-sk. Some time past 1 o’clock
1" entered his home at 3 Howard street.
His mother-in-law, Mrs. Ray, of Griffin,
end his wife, who wire greatly worried
about Him. were waiting lor him, but he
puelflrd them with a few remarks, and his
wife retired to her bed, while Mrs. Ray
followed him into the dining-room, think
ing that he wanted to /ret some
thing to eat. Before the lady
came, however young Parrot took
a sofa pillow, and placing
It upon the floor lay down upon It and
drawing a pistol from Ills po* k t put a
bullet through Ills brain. His inother-iu
luw reached the dining room door just as
the fatal shot was tired and was terrified
lo the sight.
The two women were the only persons
In the house ai the time and both were
pan! stricken with horror. When Mr.
Parrott Sr., arrived he was almost wild
with grief.

Ills Sensational Report of the Con

Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 28. —The offleial re
port of Cap'. Phil G. Byrd, special inspec
tor of the misdemeanor convict camps is
attacked to-day in a card published here
by 11. B. Moore, superintendent of J. R.
Allison & Co.’s Pulaski county camp, at
which, according to Mr. Byrd's report, a
convict was beaten to death, dragged feet
forward through the woods and buried in
snipes and shackles.
Mr. Moore denies this statement In toto
tnd declares Mr. Byrd's report on that
camp to be false.
In regard to the statement in the report
that a reputable citizen went before the
grand jury and swore to the alleged mur
derer and that i! was hushed up by in
fluence, Mr. Moore says that lion. Pope
Brown, on** of the candidates for governor,
was foreman of the grand jury, and a spe

gate the camp, which they reported in good
condition and that the physician who at
tended the convict alleged to have been

YJAKSHAL MOON'S STRATEGY.
\ Smart Columbus Officer < apt/ires
the Kiifaiiln Murderer.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 28.—The escaped
murderer, Bose Faulkner, who killed Cal
Taylor at Eufauia, Ala., several weeks
ago. was captured at the home of his j
grandmother, Mrs. Pat Morehead, tiiis
morning.
Mrs. Morehead lives in Phoenix City,
and learning that Bose had been seen In
the neighborhood, Marsha! Moon laid his
plans to capture him. This morning he
received the information that the boy
was then in the house Climbing over
fences and going through back yards, the
marshal reached the rear entrance to the
building and quickly going to the back
door he laid hands on the young man be
fore he had time to realize what had
been done.
The prisoner disclaims any intension of
killing Taylor and says that ho did not
know he was dead.
The killing of Taylor by Faulkner, ac
cording to accounts, was entirely unpro
voked. The men had been playing ball
and go; into a dispute about the game,
which was ended suddenly by the killing
of Taylor. Faulkner used a base ball bat,
striking Taylor over the head. The coro
ner's jury brought in a verdict o>f murder
against the young man.
On Broad street at 4 o’clock this after
noon a negro attacked and knocked down
Miss Ella Lennard, robbing her of $45.
The negro then fled and was chased into
Bull creek swamp, three miles from town.
It was the boldest case of highway rob
bery in the history of the city.
THE DISPOSITION OF CONVICTS.
A Meeting of the Penitentiary Com
mittee to Consider the Problem.
Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 28.—Hon. Hewlitt
Hall, chairman of the penitentiary com
mittee of the House of Representatives
has called a meeting of that body for
Sept. 21, for the purpose of considering the
problem which confronts the legislature
in the disposition of the convicts at the
end of the present lease which will expire,
April 1, 1899.
The committee will also consider the
question of placing the misdemeanor con
victs under the inspection system of the
penitentiary department as recommended
by Gov. Atkinson and Gov. Northern
Principal Keeper J. S. Turner, of the
penitentiary department, and Mr. Phil G.
Ryrd, special inspector of misdemeanor
convicts have been invited to appear be
fore the committee.
Mr. Hall thinks the legislature should ap
point a commission to deal with the peni
tentiary problem, and that the misde
meanor camps should be placed under the
inspector system of the penitentiary
department of the state. His idea is that
the p< nitentiary committee should take
the matter up and be able to agree upon
its plan before the legislature meets so
that there may be no delay In the settle
ment of the problem.
BYRD STANDS TO HIS STATEMENT.
Says He Has Proof of the Convict
Camp Horrors Reported.
Rome, Ga., Aug. 28.—Capt. Phil Byrd
came home to-night from a day spent in
Atlanta. He says he has proof for his
statements In his report, and will bring
them forward at the proper time.
In reference to the denial of H. B.
Moore, superintendent of J. R. Allison's
Pulaski county camp, published In this
evening's Atlanta Journal, he says he
stands by his report and will answer to
the governor.
An important point brought out by Byrd
is that all misdemeanor convicts, who are
leased out, can be released by habeas cor
pus action.
Numbers of convicts have already been
released in this way, ns It Is illegal to
farm them out. The best way to correct
the abuses of misdemeanor camps at pres
ent. he thinks, is to have a permanent
official appointed who will visit these
county chain-gangs just as state camps
are visited.
