in Madison county on. the night of
March 2nd, 1891.
How some men came to the bar kept
by old man Saulter and shot both Saul
ter &Ld his wife and then robbed them.
The detail) of the a flair proved it to be
a most borrible a'tampt, and the officers
at one3 set out to find the gutty parties.
Three men were arrested, viz. Frank
Barry. V. T. Reevea and "Joe Bone, on
suspicion of being the ones who com
mitted the crime.
At the preliminary trial, Bone wa
release d, Reeves was bound over, and
Barry Waived preliminary trial and
gave bond. At the last term of Madi
son Superior Court the case was con
tinued, but yesterday it was called up
by Jud 'e McWhorter, and both sides
announcing ready the trial began.
The Progress of the Trial.
This case was one of considerable
interest, anel when c.urt met yesterday
morning the court bouse was densely
crowded with eager spectators. Stand
ing room was ata premium, and many
could not gain admission to the court
room. A lirge number of Athenians
were in attendance.
The followr g jury was empanelled,
sod the trial entered into: F. M
Huff, It. L. Burroughs, D. B. Bur
roughs, -Tas. T. King, W. D. Graham,
E O.Chillers, J. A. Freeman, J. A
Huff, James Freeman, L. B. Freeman
and C. B. Patterson.
The first witness intro
duced was Mrs. R. R. Saulter
who testified in substance as follows:
On the second day of March 1891,1 was
shot in the ar.n, the ball coming from
a pistol. At that time I lived in Madi
son county. The shooting occurred, I
think between 11 and 12 o’clock, every
thing was in such confusion that I do
not rememher-the hour. I was going
from the table to the door to Mr. Saul
ter, from the little bed-room. There
was nobody in the house except myself
and Mr. Saulter. A pane of glass was
broken out of the window and I was
shot, the ball coming through the win
dow. Don’t know how many shots
were fired. Mr. Siulter was in the
storeroom and was shot twice before 1
was. Frank Barry shot me. He was
shooting through the window
and I saw him. 1 knew him. Have
known him since he was a baby. It was
Reeves that shot Mr. Saulter twice. I
_____ was in bed the first time he shot, and I
jvuhped up and ran in. I saw Reeves
when be shot him the second time.”
Mr. O. F. McKee, the second witness,
was for the defense, and the substance
of his evidence was: “I saw Frank
Barry on the night of March 2, about 11
o’cltck. Mtt him at a restaurant on
Jackson street in Athens. Went with
him to Commercial hotel, registered
aud both of us spent the night there]
Saw him come but next morning. The
opera had just closed its performance
at the time 1 flr?t met him. Suppose it
was about 11 o’clock.”
W. E. Harris, the next witness said:
“1 met Barry and McKee at the restau
rant and went with them to the hotel
I saw Barry next morning. Heard cf
the shooting of Saulter on thenextday.
Mr. W. T. Moon testified that wnile
he was on duty as a policeman in Ath
en a , on the night of March 2nd, he saw
Birry and bs was under the influence
of whiskey. This was between 9 and
10 o’clock. Saw him again about twen
ty minutes later. Mr. Juo. McKie’s
testimony was corroborative of that of
Mr. Moon.
Mr. W. H. Davis, clerk of the Com
mercial hotel was placed on stand, and
produced registry of hotel, which show
ed that Barry came there about 11
o’clock on night of March 2nd, and
epeut the night.
Mr. Joe Bone certified that he was
with Birry on the night of March 2nd.
He and Barry went to Reeve’s place,
and staid there ’ti’l 8 o’clcck. They
then went to-Beard’s restaurant and
Dock Strickland’s for whiskey. Wit
ness saw Messrs. Moon and McKie just
before this time. Heard of Mr. Saulter
being shot about 11 o’olcck next day
when be and Barry were going to the
country, and metCata Baldwin on Up
per bridge, who told them of the shoot
ing. On cross examination, witness
said be had been accused of being a par
ticipant in the crime himself, and was
kept in jail for a short time, but was
tried before a magistrate and released.
Thus . was the first time
he had met Frank
Barry iu sometime. It was about
five o’c’ock in evening when they met
They went to Reeves’ house, where
Cigar was .met. This was or 8 o’cl ct,

I answered, no. Heard of the shooting
next day. There had been wet weather
for sometime and the roads were in a
b id condition. This was
raison for not letting Barry haye horses.
On cross examination the witness said:
Barry said he wanted to go to Reeves*
place This was about .dark. Frank
B rry asked for carriage. I had no
horses, but wasiwilliug to hire him car
riage; if be could get horses from Jes
ter. He failed to get horses from Jes
ter. Closed my stablesabout 8 o’clock,
and met them at Max Joseph’s at 9)£ or
10.
Mr, J. N. Williamson next testified
that in March of last year he was keep
ing restaurant. Remembered Mr. and
Mrs. Saulter being shot. Frank Barry
was in store at 8 o’clock. Bone and
Reeves were with him. Don’t know
whether they came back or not. They
did not get.anything to eat.
The next witness was Mr. L. D.
Goodrum, who said he went out
to Mr. Saulter’s on the morning
after the shooting, and had
some conversation trying to find who
did it. Mrs. Saulter told witness she
thought that it was negroes. Capt. Ol
iver asked her if it was possible that
the crime was committed by white men
with blacked faces. She replied that it
might have been;- At that time the
roads were very bad. Witness went out
as an officer to investigits the case. Mri.
Saulter did not accuse Barry that
morning.
At this part of the triai, Mr. Barry,
the defendant, made his statement in
substmeeas fallows: “I was with
Bone and Reeves on the evening before
the shooting. We went out to Reeves’
place remaining there one hour. Com
ing back to town wej went
co. Heard’s restaurant to get
some whiskey bat could not get it. Fi
nally we got some, elsewhere. After
this I met Messrs. McRee and Harris
and went to the Commercial hotel with
them.1 Spent the night there. I never
bad anything to do with the shooting
of Mr. and Mrs. Saulter.”
Rev. D. C. Oliver next took the stand:
Witness was Chief of Police, city of
Athens at time of shooting. Heard of
Mr. Saulterjbeing shot and called at his
place, the second day after the shoot
ing, for tbo purp se of securing clue ai
to the guilty parties. Mr. Saulter told
witness they were negroes, when wit
ness asked him if it was not possible
that they were white men with black
faces, Mr. Saulter didj|not think it
possible. On cross examination
witness was asked if
he did not swear out warrants for arrest
of Barry and Bone after that. He did,
but it was from suspicion as they were
se e n together. K.-pt thorn under sur
veillance next day. Warrant was based
entirely on fact.tliat they . had been to
gether, and bad been suspicioned.
Mr. W. H. Bailey appeared and said
that he had conversation with Frank
Barry day after shooting, about
o’clock a. m. Witness was walking
down Clayton street, when he saw
Barry, Bone and Pardue. Par due wished
to borrow some money, but did not lend
it to h im. Loaned Barry 25 cents.
Then witness went to his store. About
12 / b’clock, ^Bone,!.,Barry acd Pardue
qame to bis store, aud bought
some small articles. Barry bor
rowed another quarter and they went
that time. Barry told witness before
leaving, that he had a big time night
before at Chappie’s Gap in East Ath
ens, just beyond city limits. Witness
said that Chappie’s Gap was in an op
posite direction from Athens.
The next witness was Mr. Yerby.
He swore that on Thursday after the
assault, Barry, Bone and M*jor Dean
were at Mr. S rulter’s. Witoess lived
tbree-fourthsof a mile from Saulter’s.
Heard of shooting at nine o’clock next
day. Heard Barry say he (Barry)
beard of the shooting in 30 minutes af
ter it was done. Was clerking for
Saulter at the time.
Mr. Wages next testified that
he heard Barry say that be knew of the
shooting in 30 minutes after it was-
done. Witness was positive that that
was the language used. Don’t think
he said he heard it in Athens.
Mr. R. R. Saulter took the stard and
his testimony was about as fallows:
•‘Have known Frank Barry fifteen
years. I saw him iu my store after my
wife was shot. He forced *open my bed
room and came in, picked up my old
gun, which was not loaded, and rushed
to the door. Heard Barry say ‘go to the
door and burst it id,’ 1 saw his face.
Barryjsaid, ‘Bring $5.00 here and lay it
in my hand. I told them to come
>n and get all
I bad. The other men ordered me to
march in my bed-room. Barry took
the money, ($185.00 and two gallons of
whiskey, 1 was in three feet of him,
and recognized him. Hi3 face was a
little smutty, I heard aud recognized
his voice. About 9 or 10 cclock I lay
down, but had not been asleep. They
took off my money aud whiskey and
left the doors wide open. Ou cross ex
amination witness sa d: I did net of
fer a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of
guilty parties. Don’t believe I told
anybody they were negroe*. I knew it
was Birry that night. On the first trip
they got nothing but liquor. They af
terwards came to back door and said
they wanted some liquor. I thought it
was parties from Oglethorpe. One man
asked for a gallon of whiskey.
Frank Barry was there, but Reeves was
the man that asked f r whiskey, could
n’t tell whether he bad a mustache cr
not. I knew who It was, but was rath
er unnerved. They ordered a second
gallon and a plug rf tobacco. The bill
amounted to $4.20 They didn’t have
the money, and 11 Ad them I would tote
back some of the goods. Reeves shot
me then and went out. My wife was
shotas ahe cajne out the door. She
slammed the door en 1 locked it. After
a short time some one came to back
door and asked, Oh, Uncle Dick, whe
was that that run away from here white
ago?” My wife opened door and im
mediately slammed it to, lccked it, and
came in store to me. Then she threw
on some kindling. There was no light
in house when first shot was, fired, ex
cept lamp. My wife was going to kin
dle fire when she was shot. Thurs
day morning, Dr. Hale,
toy physician said he did not wish me
to receive company. My wife aud Mr.
Oliver had some little conversation. Mr.
Oliver toM her if she suspected any one
to say nothing about it. I was shot be
fore my wife was, a light was in the
house then. D: n’t know condition of
room when she was shot,
Mrs Saulter again took the stand and
said that she did not tell any one that
the assault was made by black people,
bat did say it was white men. Did not
tell Capt. Oliver they were negroes
Told Mr. Gtolrum that Mr. Oliver
asked me to keep quitt about what I
knew. Did not tell Capt. Oliver, Mr.
Goodrum or any one, that it was not
Barry. It was Frank Barry.”
Mr. Saulter, again taking the stand,
said*: The road from Chappl.’a Gap to
bis bouse was a splendid one. It was
about five miles from Moore’s Grove to
bis hour; 2U mis from Moore’s
Mr. J-E. Glenn witnessed that he
talked with Mr. Saulter about 10 or 11
o’clock on morniug after shooting. Mr,
Saulter was greatly unnerved. Mrs.
Siulter said then that she was satified
a» to who did the shooting, but gaye no
description of the person.
Major Dean took the stand, and said
that he was with Barry Wednesday or
Thursday after the abootiDg
at Barry’s farm. They
were hunting, staid with him one
afternoon, night and day. Went with
Bone, Bose Matthews and Barry to Jno.
Matthews. Left Jno. Matthews’ about
one o’clock, and went to Saulter’s. Mr
Saulter said that the shooting was done
by nagroes as b’ack es h—1. Did net
notice any usual quantity of whiskey
on B-rry farm. Barry had no money
on him that I knew of. I don’t know
what I told Mr. Rote, unless it was
that we had whiskey out there. Was
guying Rose when I told him that.
Guying him was not telling him some
thing to deceive him. Barry bad no
money, for Bose and myself paid for
the whiskey. Barry heard of the assault
from Cato Baldwin the morning after
the crime was committed.
Dr. Hale taking the stand said that he
saw Mr Saulter the morning after he
waBsbot. Asktd Mr. Saulter whether
the assault was made by white or blaolc
men. He said, ‘ They were as black as
b—1.” This was Tuesday morning be
tween 10 and 11 o’clock. I asked Mr.
Saulter no questions.
. C ito Baldwin, col’d. swore that the
next morniug Mr. Saulter told him that
they were d—n black negroes. Witness
met Barry on upper bridge, and told
him of the shooting.
Capt. Oliver again taking the stand 1
said he had ,kuown Mr. Saulter for a
number of years. He was at his house
when Dr. Hale was dressing his wound
and told him he wished to have a pri
vate conversation with him.
Asked him if
had any idea who the guilty parties
were, said he bad none in tbe world.hut
suspicioned railroad negroes. I asked
him if it might not been white men with
their faces blacked. I suggested Barry
as the probable men, but Mr. Saulter
said “no, it was a larger man than Bar
ry and as black as h—1.” He thought
they went in the direction of South
Carolina and offered $1,000 reward for
their arrest. He authorized me to tele
graph alone line of N E. R. R. as he
thought they had gone to South Caro>
lina.
Mr. L. D Goodrum here took the
stand and his testimony was pretty
much tbe same ua that of Capt. Oli ver.
Mr. Joe Bone swore that Barry said
in the presence of himself, Wage*,
and others that Cato Baldwin told bim
of the shooting
Mr. JohnN. Booth on the stand said:
Frank Barry applied to me tbe evening
before for a team about 5 o’clock. Said
be wanted to go out to Uncle Diok
Saulter’s. He did not get it. Witness
then testified ae to distance to Saulter’s
by Chappell’s Gap and also by Dauiels-
\nlle road.
Mr. Glenn then testified that Mr.
Saulter first stated that a negro shot
him. Afterward he said to witness “I
don’t want to tell you who they are,
but am satisfied that I know the guilty
parties.” Also told witness of Capt.
Oliver’s haying visited him. Mr. Saul
ter did not tell me they were white
hand ” Ut di<1 *** ifc Was no M F ro ’ B
This was the last witness, and tbe ev
idence here closed.
The case was conducted in an able
manner on both sides, Messrs. T. W.
Rucker and Thomas S'ricklaud ap
pearing for the defense and Solicitor-
General W. M. Howard and Col. D. W.
Meadow for the State. No arguments
wer^ made in the case.
Judge McWhorter delivered a short
charge to the jurv in a clear and con
cise manner. After which the jury re
tired to their room.
In three hours they returned with a
verdict cf “not guiRy.”
Solicitor General Howard then nol
prossed tbe other case against Barry
and the one against Reaves.
Sent up for Ten Year*.
The case of the State against Levi
EysnB, for assault with intent to mur
der his wife, Elizabeth Evans, was tried
Thursday afternoon. He li&d elready
been tried fir lunacy and found sane,
and the second trial resulted in a ver

A MIDNIGHT VISITOR
Who Said Ha Was a Detective,
Late Thursday night a knock at the
door of Mrs. Green Blair’s residence in
East Athens awakened Mrs. Blair who
asked who it was.
“Come to the door, I wish to see you,”
was the reply evidently from a man on
the outside.
“If you do not leave instantly, I will
wake some one who will make you do
so,” was Mrs. Blair’s reply.
“I am a detective looking for some
one,” said the man.
Mrs. Blair then called out to her son,
Mr. Ferd Blair in the next room, who
came to the door and told t!ie man to
go on away from there. He at once
left.
It is thought that he came with in
tentions of breaking in tbe bouse, think
ing no males w* re on the premises, but
that when he found chat Mr. Blair was
present he left precipitately.
“When I w»s a young man,” said Jona
than Gray,
“If a fellow took physic he knew it, you
bet.
It would cramp^him all up in a cofiicky
way,
And, good Lord, what a twisting his in
side would getl
But the pills in use now days by sensible
folks
Are as easy to take and as pleasant as
jokes.”
Of course, the kind referred to by Mr.
Gray was Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, tbe
very, beat Livnr Fill ever made—mild, but
sure aod.effactive. Tbe only pills, sold by
druggists, absolutely on trial! Satisfaction

The time is. sow at hand for planting
Inph potatoes. Everyone, both in th«
towns and m the country, should plant
a bushel or more, the more the. better.
It Would not be amiss to plant acres,
for that* is no food more palatable or
nutritious, or which can b* more easily
raised. Quit bhyieg Northern pota
toes, and raise them at heme. You, can
produce moro of tseta en s given space
of ground, and better ones. Don’t think
that all that is good comes Iron “Y»n-
keedom.” Ths It Hewing is the writer’s
plan to plant them.
Lay off your rows three and a half
feet aptrr, make the farrows as deep a*
possible, olace the potato at the bottom
of ths furrow, pul woo*i pile, barn yard
manure.and cotton seed in, until the
.furrow is nearly filled, then with a tura
plow ran two furrows on each side. At
the expiration cf two weeks or there
about, take weeding hoes and raise over

»he was an adventuress, tries bad en
trapped his sen itWe a marriage. She
remained at her desk until 11 o’(dock at
night, and finally retired, utterly ex
hausted, for the night.
At 8 o’clock in the morning, when
Mrs. Blaine’s old nurse wend to wake
ker, she found that Mrs. Blaine was in
a comatose condition. Her eyes were
closed, and she was gasping far breath.
She was unconscious, and evidently net
far from dissolution. The nurse run to
Mrs. Nevins’ room and screamed out.
"Mario is dying P The whole house was
in confusion. Colonel and Mrs. Nevins
rushed to Mrs. Blaine’s room, and the
nurse ran to summon Mrs. Edith Col
well, a life long friend of the family.
Mr*. Colwell ran down stairs to the bar
and obtained some champagne. An ef
fort was made to give Mrs. Blaine the
champagne, without success.
The bedside was surrounded by weep
ing women, and Mrs. Blatine lay with
out motion, and almost without respi-
• ration. Just then Manager Glover of
the hotel, entered with Dr. Herbert Lee
Constable of Thirty-fourth street, who
had been in the hotel in attendance
upon a patient. He cleared the room
and drew off his coat and set to work
with energy to restore respiration ia the
patient, while messengers ran in every
direction to secure necesssry articles.
Drs. Forest and McKay arrived short
ly afterwards and the three physicians
remained with Mrs.' Blaine until 8
o’clock in the afternoon. Artificial res
piration had to be resorted to. .
The crisis was reached at noon, and
as the day wore on tho patient improved.
