SHOOTING I' * IIU'ILATION.

Who Shot Him anil Wn Utter Hi*
Daughter—Vouinletl 'lnn** l*ninll>
tiniin the Shooting: "# a ll Oul
eome of the I’orflnoe of u Farm.
Atlanta, Ga., July 3.- Marion 1.. Roberts,
a wealthy and well known citizen of Ful
ton county, was shot ami dangerousi>
wounded at Morrow's station, In t lay ton
county, yesterday afternoon by Columbus
Fuller, a will known farmer of that sec
tion.
Roberts was brought to his homo, near
Fort McPherson, where lie is lying In a
precarious condition.
Fuller assigns ag his reason for shooting
Roberts that the latter had robl* and him of
his wife, and planned tlie ruin of his
daughter.
Of course, there are two sides to the
etory, and Roberts’ family claims that the
shooting was caused by ill-feeling grow
ing out of the purchase of the Fuller farm
by Roberts some years ago, and that Ful
ler adopted litis cold-blooded and coward
ly method of getting revenge.
The shooting was done with a shotgun,
end the attending physician said that he
picked more than thirty slugs and shot out
Of Robert's neck and face.
Green B. Roberts, father of the wound
ed man, went to Clayton county to-day
to swear out a warrant for Fuller, and
nays that he will prosecute hint to the end
of the law.
The wounded man was suffering so much
that his physician thought it best that no
one be admitted to his room, but his
father gave the following statement of the
shooting: “X believe it to have been a
concerted plan to kill my* son, and more
than one is implicated. From present in
'dications I think there will be more than
one arrest. I firmly believe there was a
plot to murder him. Vou can add,” he
eaid, in conclusion, "that all that money
and genius can do wiil ) brought to bear
to punish his assailant.”
Fulton is at his home near Morrow, and
has no intern ion of evading arrest. This
was learned from a relative to whom he
gave his sale of the affair.
Very few people were willing to discuss
th eaffalr, but in a general way it was
learned that Fuller will make a very start
ling defense.
It was reported that the immediate
cause of the shooting was Roberts throw-
Inga kiss to Fuller's daughter. Accord
ing to this report, Fuller was sitting on (he
porch of his home, which Is not far from
the Roberts place, when Roberts passed
by. As the latter came by one of the
girls threw a kiss to him, and Roberts
threw one to her. When this occurred
Fuller is said to have fired.
According to another report Fuller did
not see Roberts throw a kiss to his
daughter, but had heard of it.
But there is another side to the story.
It is known that for some time there litis
been very bad feeling between the two
men. The trouble dates beyond the se
paration of Fuller and his .wife a year
agb. He has regarded Roberts ub to
blame for this separation and for a long
time the alleged intimacy between Rob
erts and Mrs. Fuller, charged by the lat
ter's husband, had been the subject of
gossip In the neighborhood. People freely
ventured to prophesy trouble. Yesterday
It came, but there was even a fresher
grievance.
Fuller is said to have stated since the
shooting that his attempt to take Rob
ert's life was due to advances made to
bis daughter.
East year Fuller filed a suit against Rob
erts in Fulton Superior Court for $23,000
damages, alleging that Roberts had alien
ated his wife's affections. The story ns
tqld by the petition of Fuller w as a highly
eensational one. He representi<l that
toon after he went with his wife and
children to live on the farm of Roberta
that the latter began to ingratiate him
eelf in to Mrs. Fuller’s directions, visit
ing her frequently when he was away
from home. He charged that his
wife's conduct forced him
to leave his home, she being turned against
him by Roberts, who was a much wealth
ier and much more polished man.
I £ vorce proceedings are now pending be
tween Fuller and ills wife. In tile contest
over their children, which took place be
fore Judge John S. Candler some months
ago, the judge awarded the little ones to
the father.
Roberts ts married and has four small
Ills wife was the daughter of Col. B.
A. Shepard of Houston, Tex., who was
president of the First National Bank of
that city. He left an estate valued at SBOO,-
(MJU, which was divided among his five chil
clien.
Mr. Roberts’ home near Atlanta Is a
beautiful place.

MUSTERING IN AT GRIFFIN.
Compnnle* of Capt. IJavle* anil Burr
Have Full It a aka.
Griffin, Ga., Aug. 3.—-The mustering of
Capt. Davits’ company yesterday was fol
lowed this afternoon by mustering in that
of Capt. Burr of this place. Capt. Burr
this morning reported 107 men to Col.
Candler for mustering, but owing to the
fact that only 100 was needed to the com
pany, and that some companies were far
In the rear with men seven of Capt. Burr’s
men were transferred to other companies,
when tin* hundred was mustered in.
Company G, Capt. Powell, of Newnan,
will be the next mustered In. This has I*o
men sworn in and more than enough in its
street to fill out its enlistment sheet. They
will probably take the final oath to-mor
row:
Col. Candler issued an order this morn
ing prohibiting any one bringing within
the guard line melons of any kind, and or
dered all suspicious packages to lie exam
ir.ed at the guard house. This is done to
preserve the sanitary conditions of ihe
camp. The men are now enjoying excellent
health and It is the intention to have this
continued if possible.
The seventy-two guards daily are prov
ing quite an advantage in forcing the men
to return to the camp by 10:30 o'clock at
night. An order issued from the colonel's
headquarters forcea every man to register
at the guard house upon leaving and en
tering the camp after retreat. All failing
to comply must answer to the charge be
fore Col. Candler.
Gene Joiner, a negro hackman, was
caught stealing from a company commis
sary this morning, was arrested and made
to servo several hours on police duty, af
ter which in* was turned over to the sheriff
and placed in jail.
CAVALRY ORDERED NORTH.
Men Started for Fernandlna to Go
to ttdntank Point.
Fernandlna, Fla., Aug. 3.—The cavalry
troops that were originally ordered to
the Fernandlna camp from Tampa have
been reordered to Montauk. The Sixth
regular cavalry arrived here to-day, but
on account-of the new orders, they were
not unloaded and will start for their new
camp to-night. The Third Cavalry, which
arrived here as soon as possible, will also
go to Montauk. This will end the arrival
of troops here from Tampa.
The infantry will remain here and may
be joined by other Infantry, probably
from Alia mi.
This change of orders causes disappoint
ment at Fernandlna, but the city is some
what cohsoled by the fact that the in
fantry will probably not be ordered away
for a few months yet.
Inspector General Thompson and his as
sistants, Lieut. Crimmins, left for Tampa
10-day, where they* are ordered to join
Gen. Coppinger.
HOBSON I,FUNKS ATLANTA.
Says Merrlmue Incident Shows Navy
ls Ready to Do Its Duty.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 3.—Lieut. Hobson has
gone and has left a very pleasant impress
ion on Atlanta. He is unquestionably a
very fine young man and deserves the
praise that is showered on him by the
American people. He delivered a splendid
lecture at *ne Grand Opera House last
night for the benefit of a sick soldiers’
fund in which he said, in speaking of the
sinking of the Merrimac: “When I re
late this occurrence you do wrong if you
apply any great amount of credit for this
little piece of work to an individual. It
was merely an evidence’of the fact that
the officers and men of the American
navy are always anxious to perform any
duty that they are ordinal to <lo Irre
spective of the consequences of ttie dan
ger.”

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 189a
I FIRST ON ITS NEW CAMP SITE.
REGIMENT MOVES NEAR NORTH
TOWEII OF THE PARK.
Present Location a Great Improve
ment Over Ibc Previous One—Lieut.
Col. Brooks Fomin* Home for a
Few Dn >s’ Recreation—Battery B
Still Wondering W hut tins Become
of Its Guns—Several Additional He
erults Expected.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 3.—The First
Georgia is now at home near the north
tower of the park. Col. Lawton's head
quarters are within the shadow of the
tower. The regiment mo\ ■ and to-day.
Tents were struck at 7 a. m., and Lieut.
Col. Jordan F. Brooks’ battalion marched
at 7:30.
The commands of Maj. Kenan and Maj.
Wooten followed, and noontide found the
old home vacant aa air, and the men of
Georgia intermingling at the new like
trees rn a line.
The old company site had been used be
fore and was stale, besides the sinks of
neighboring regiments were fast becom
ing intolerable. The new site is fresh as
a May morning or new mown hay. It
slopes ever so gently to the northeast, fac
ing the rising sun. At the foot of the
slope is a well of excellent water for wash
ing purposes. It would do to drink, but
the men prefer water from tlie spring.
The camp is high and dry and there is
no fear of malaria or typhoid. The best
sort of arrangements regarding the neces
sary sinks has been made.
For a few days the men will be engaged
at the arduous task of street cleaning, for
the new camp is very rocky. In this work
and in moving the regiment was handicap
ped yesterday on account loaned
the Fifth Illinois ten wagons and teams as
tlie latter moved to Ringgold, from whence
it left for Newport News.
Lieut. Col. Brooks left to-ntght for Sa
vannah to spend a few days.
Tin First Georgia will not lie included
In the present Porto Rican expedition.
Battery B, Georgia Artillery, has receiv
ed its full complement of horses and the
hoys are in more jubilant spirits. The prin
cipal matter that is worrying them at pres
ent is the question “what has become of
f our guns." No word has yet been received
in reference to them, and the officers are
at a loss to understand what has delayed
their arrival. The last word received about
them was that they wore shipped on July
15. It is difficult to understand the delay,
and officers when asked their opinion sim
ply “Give It up.”
The opinion seems to be gaining ground
that in view of the probability of an ear
ly peace the government does not mean
to supply guns to the battery, but this
seems to be discredited by the fact that
the lioys have been receiving various
equipments, ahd are now fully prepared
for duty with the single exception.
One recruit was received by the battery
to-day. His name is Griffin, and he was
sent to camp by Lieut. Armstrong. Sev
eral additional recruits are expected in
two or three days, as it is thought that
Lieut. Armstrong has several more men on
Ihe "string.”
The filter which has been received by
the battery has been placed in operation
and is now* furnishing the boys with all
of their drinking water.
, Sergt. Wakeman, who has been In the
hospital for some time, has recovered, and
will be at his post of duty again in a short
while.
Privates Dixon and Detour, who are
also in the hospital, are improving rapidly.
Private Rookfor.l has been sent to the
Brigade Hospital suffering from malarial
fever.
Sergt. Toriay, w*ho is sick In his quar
ters, will go to Savannah in a short time
on a thirteen days’ furlough to recuper
ate.

did not reach the disease, and
decided to try Swift’s Specific,

which promptly got at the seat of
the trouble, and cured me perma
