HE POSES AS A SCAPEGOAT.

ON IX THAT EIGHT.
XVant# to Make a Statement Hilt Hi#
Lawyer# Have Advioed Aftninnt It.
Say* He Showed He XVn# \ot Guilty
of Everything He NVu* Chanted
With— Could \ot Have Caused
Shortages Which Occurred in Hi#
Alinenee.
Atlanta, April 26—Thomas J. Hunter,
former auditor of the Atlanta anil West
Font Railroad, who was yesterday con
victed of embezzlement and sentenced to
the penitentiary for five years, is anxious
to have the public believe that he is being
made a scapegoat for other offenders.
•*I would like to make a statement and
tell a few things,” he said, "but my law
yers have advised against it.”
“My case rests entirely in their hands
and I will do as they say. One thing,
however, I think, showed very clearly in
my trial, and that was that I was not
guilty of everything that I had been
charged with. I think I showed that I
was only one small potato in a very
large hill. I showed that shortages oc
curred in that office two weeks after I
had left the city, and that it was a mat
ter of impossibility for me to have se
cured any of the money. I don’t see how
the grand jury can indict me for short
ages which aocurred in my absence.
“The juggling of the figures was credit
ed to my office and I was still called the
auditor of the road, but I was away and
knew nothing whatever about it. Let
them find the person or persons that kept
that work up after I left the city, and
may be they will be able to explain all
of the missing money.”

prominent citizens of Columbus reached
the city to-day and will go before the
Rivers and Harbors Committee of the

are Messrs. L. H. Chappell. Charlton
Battle, J. D. Kimble, F. B. Gordon and
Capt. Flagler, division engineer of the
army who is stationed at Montgomery.
Capt. Flagler has estimated that &6.000
can be economically and profitably used
in the work on the Chattahoochee dur
ing the coming year, and the Georgians
will urge the importance of the appro
priation of that amount.
The delegation is being looked afer by
Judge Adainson the representative of
the Fourth district. Last year $45,000
was appropriated for the Chattahoochee
and the engineer’s report show that un
der the stlmulas of the continued appro

greatly increasing.

other delegation was accorded. The river
business is increasing at the rate of $4,-

for the continuance of this work. This is

to the pending legislation this letter says:
”We would remind you that Brunswl k
is an important seaport, whose commerce
is rapidly growing, end that the entire
state of Georgia is interested In having in
creased widths and depths of the channel
across the outer bar thereof to accommo
date the commerce of ihe country.
"We would further remind you that the
work of Mr. C. P. Goodyear on said outer
bar during the past few years has resulted
In exceptional deepening and widening of
said channel at a minimum of cost to the
government, and that, in our opinion, It
would be economical to the government to
allow Mr. Goodyear to continue said work
on his "no cure, no pay" plan a? hereto
fore pursued and as proposed in said bill.”

MONUMENT TO OGLETHORPE.
\s(M'lntlon Formed to Erect Me
morial nt Frederlen.
Brunswick, Ga.. April 20.—T0 the Public:
The undersigned have formed themselves
into an association, whose object w'.ll be
the ‘erection at Frederica of a monument
in memory of Gen. James Edward Ogle
thorpe. In the 168 years that have elapsed
since the founding of the colony, we ha\e
grown from a population of 170 souls to
more than 2,000,000 and ftom a struggling
colony to a great state. In all those year*
and with this great grow th, not ever has
there been placed even one tablet in honor
of the man to whom we ow*- almost our
very existence as a state. Glynn county
was his chosen place of residence, and on
St. Simon's Island is situated the only
home he owned in the new world. The as
sociation ckerns it a very fit and proper
thing that citizens of the state and county
should erect a stone to the memory of one
who in his life furnished the brightest ex
ample in history of that highest of Chris
tian virtue, charity and sGf-abnegati *n,
and whose life was 'Onsecratfd to the
struggling colony of Georgia. We ask f
the public, men-, women and children, suc.i
aid as th* y can extend towards the fur
thering of this object.
Subscriptions will be received and ac
knowledged by any of the asso iation.
