IT DIDN'T WORK-
AN EFFORT TO DEFEAT THE SALE
OF THE BONDS.
A FLASH IN THE PAN,
An Advertisement In the New York
papers Advising Investigation—
The City Desiree Full Investi
gation.
Somebody tried to defeat the sale of
the bond?.
But his little effort didn't work worth
a cent.
It was a mere dash ia .the pan, and
after all the bouds sold at par.
As to who it was, and his motive no
one could well tell, unless the books of
the New York papers were open to
i ublic view.
It matters 1 ttle who the fellow was
since his little game didn’t win.
Yerteiday Mr. Asbury H. Hodgson,
chairman of the finance committee of
the Council, received a telegram from
Mr. Fletcher Hurt, of New York, stat
ing that an advertisement had appeared
in the New York papers advising ali
p rsons who had any idea of buying
Athens Water Works bonds to first in-
v, siigate by wbat authority the bonds
vi-re issued.
Mr. Hodgson telegraphed Mr. Hurt
that the city of Athens had nothing to
t u ccal in the matter, and invited thor
ough investigation.
Alesir< Farson, Leach & Co, who
be light the b< nds, w ere in full posses,
sion of all the facts, examined into the
authority for the issuance thereof, and
decidt d that everything was all right.
They then bought, and were well
ploastd with their bargain.

THE CONDEMNED MURDERER
Talks to ajBanner Reporter—He Hopes
Have Hie Sentence Commuted.
Thursday afterncor, a B nnkb re
porter had a convert ation with Wm.
Johnson, the condemned murderer io
the Ul&rke county jail. William has
Eiven up the idea of starving himself to
death. He says that two or three min
isters have visited him since being re-
sentenced and prayed for him.
When asked if he did not think bis
sentence a just one, the prisoner re
plied :
“I do, according to the evidence in
the court house. But that was not
true. I bad only been at work on the
G., C. & N. four days when I killed the
man. We were gambling, and he had
won a dollar from me. He took that,
and said he vrould win me re. We quar
reled, and he was about to pul
a pistol from his pocket when I shot
him with a shot-gun ”
‘•Where is your home ?”
“1 came to this place indirectly from
Evansville, Ind. I came fio<n there
with some horse drovers. I have lived
in indiana all my life, except two
years. ’
How old are y«u f ”
"Twenty-seven yean old. That is, 1
will be next month.”
Do you hope to have yonr sentence
commuted to life imprisonment?”
Yes sir. I jrould be very glad if it
could be. If the people knew how the
killing happened they would sign the
petition. 1^ have never been into a
scrape of any kind, before I got into this
one. Have always tried to obey the
laws.”
“Well, if the sentence is not com
muted, bow do yon feel abont it?”
"1 feel mighty bad. I know I wil
have to bang, and the law take it-
course. I don’t blame anybody with
it. I read my Bible every day, and
pray for the forgiveness of my sins,
hope to be ready when the lime comes.”
‘‘Have yon any appetite no v?”
“Yes sir. 1 eat my meals regularly,
and sometimes get hungry.”
“Do yon sleep well?” 1
Yes, sir, I sleep most all night every
night, but am troubled a great deal.”
This was the manner in which the
condemned man telked yesterday. If
his sentence ia not commuted to life
imprisonment, he will hang on the third
of next month.
The banging will take p’aoe witbii
the jail walls, and will be strictly pri
vate.
