Aty. Cooper Says Hanging
of R&wlings Boys will
Be Nothing less
Each One is Allowed'His
Freedom Under $200
Bond. Much Evidence
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16.—The argu
ment In the Rawlings case 'contin
ued today, before the Supreme Court.
Attorney Cooper, deleting the four
men convicted of murder, declared In
a very dramatic way that If the sen
tence of death was carried out on
Milton and Jesse, the two boys who
are to die tor the murder of the
Carter children, the deed will amount
to nothing less than a legal lynch
ing.
Mr. Cooper has ceased to light for
the life of old man Rawlings since
he made his confession. The con
fession of the old man Is regarded
as being true so far as It goes, but
It leaves so many things about the
evlhence unexplained that It does not
materially alter the status offsets In
the opinion of most people. It Is
altogether possible however, that the
Supreme Court may be Induced to
grant a new trial In the case of the
two boys by the confession of their
father.
It Is supposed that old man Raw
lings was Induced by bis wife to say
he paid Alf More to kill old man Car
ter, but that his two sons had noth
ing whatever to do with the crime.
Rawlings declares that he express
ly cautioned the negro to be careful
not to harm the children.
Rawlings says that he would
gladly give his life to free his two
boys and Tim McDonald, but that
he thinks his life ought to be spared.
He wept bitterly while making the
confession and asked If It were not
nil true that be might die In his
chair. He declares that Alf Moore
told him that he would not have
killed the two children If the boy had
not come out In the yard\with a gun
In his handand that he was afraid
not to make way with both of them,
or run the risk of being killed him
self. ,
The grand Jury returned true bills
yesterday against eight merchants
for selling liquor. The true bills
were followed Immediately by war
rant, upon which the men indicted
were arrested at once.
By order
of Judge Mitchell of the Superior
Court the bond In each case was
fixed at $200.
The men against whom the true
bills wore found are:
P. Sampson,
Nick Sampson, George Phillips, John
Kllpogen, Arthur Epttmo, George
Sampson. All secured bond without
difficulty. Hammond Daniels, col-
and J. T. Vann are security for P.
Sampson, W. Fein berg for Phllllph,
H. Felnberg tor Nick and George
Sampson, Joseph Goldberg for Eptt-
moro, and Klpogen, S. Sampson for
Mitch Sampson and W. Felnberg
for Leonidas.
The officers claim to have-strong
evidence against all the men and as
many as 16 witnesses against some.
