We arc not suiprised at this*, for
we knew that the crowd of old ring*

politics of Georgia so long, wculd
not yield up their power without a
struggle.
Uni we arc not afraid ot the re*'

time to meet his horrible date, and
prepare for the life after death We
do not wish to destroy the immortal
soul. Even if the blackest criminal
cau make peace with his God before
meeting his awful doom, give him
every opportunity to do so. While
he may not have shown this mercy
to his victim,, remember that we live
in a civilized and Christian land -
and it is our duty to be guided even
ot mankind, than by laws made by
weak and erring mortals.
Besides, it would b<» anything hu
brave, now that this murderer is
chained and in the power of the law,
for a body of stout and free men to
deprive him of his life, because they
have the strength to do so. Had this
negro resisted arrest and been shot
down in bis tracks, it would have
been justified. But now’ that lie is n
helpless prisoner, let us be hands
oil, and the law permitted to take its
course.
If any of our citizens feel that
they cannot restrain their rage, a
proper subject for their resentment
is certain negroes that are now at
liberty, and w hose business, it seems,
is to stir up strife and bud blood be
tween the races. If a sanitary les
son were administered to a few sucli
characters, it would have a far better
example on the lawless and tur
bulent element of our population
than the lynching of a helpless pris*
oner, safely confined in the clutches
of the law.
LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE.
Tim killing of poor Henry Hunter
by the negro Ed Morrison was a bru
tal and cold blooded murder, at the
thought of which the indignation of
every good citizen can scarcely be
kept in boi uds. Without provoea*
Lion, one of our most worthy and
popular youths is shot dowu in his
tracks, at an inslaot’s warning, and
by a black scoundrel whom he had
never wronged.
If the murderer had been captured
on the night of the killing, we have
no idea that lie would ever have been
turned over to the ollicers of the law
alive—for with his desperate characn
ter, and hands still red with the
blood of his innocent victim, it
would have been impossible to re*
strain the passion of his captors.
It was fortunate indeed for this
negro that he first fell into the
clutches of our cool-headed and vig
ilant sheriff, Mr. Weir. That officer,
while acting with his well-known
courage and calmness, did his duty
both by justice and by the prisoner,
lie well knew that to bring Morrison
to Athens, in the heated state of tlie
public mind, would be equivalent to
his death at the hands of an enraged
populace. So Mr. Weir did exactly
right in carrying bis prisoner to the
Augusta jail, until public sentiment
had time to cool. From this place
there is no possible ehauce for es
cape, and Morrison’s speedy tiial and
conviction are assured.
Now, if there was any possibility,
or even probability’, of this murderer
escapiug punishment for his horrible
crime, we would not enter a word ot
protest against his death at the
hands of a mob. But the proot
against him is conclusive ; there is
no possible loophole for him to evade
an outraged law. The Superior
Gourt of Madison county couvems
on the first Monday in September—
less than two weeks from now—and
at this tribunal Ed Morrison will be
tried, condemned and sentenced.
So, in view of these tacts, we
counsel our people to curb their
passions and let this crimiual meet
his just and richly-merited fate at
the hands of the courts of our coun
try There is no reason or excuse
•or an exercise of lynch law in this
case. Justice will surely be meted
out with dispatch and without un-
accessary delay.
There .is only ouo crime for which
we favor a resort tolyuch law—wtien
a negro lays the hand ot violence
•upon a white woman. There is an
un written law in the South for this
de.d, that we have no desire to see
ehangeil. But for all oth.” crimes,
wo have ample protection in tlie
courts of Georgia.
We therefore advise and counsel
•hose of our citizens who entertain
the thought of taking the life of this
negro, to curb their passions, and
■leave his .punishment to the courts ot
■our country.
Under any circumstances it is a
•carful responsibility to shed the
blood of a human being—a respon

for the whole world ; and when it i»

THE PURSUIT,
As stated in Sunday’s Banner, some
trouble was experienced in getting the
dogs to take the track. Soon after one
Mr. Jim Smith’s dogs arrived and
they with those of Mr. Autry’s were
mmediately put on the scent. With a
howl they “took.” Off at a wild run
went the trained hounds followed by
thirty men on horseback, and some
thing near a hundred on foot.
Off they went through swamps,

over hill, down the valley, across the
railroad track, some in buggies crash
ing over limbs, and all in the wildest
state of excitement.
Everyone had a gun of some sort or a
pistol, and a few who could obtain nei
ther carried knives.
On went the hounds, and on went a
band ot as determined men as ever fol
lowed yelping of dogs.
OFF HIE TRACK,
But doomed to disappointment.
About three o’clock it became evi
dent that the dogs were getting mixed.
Back they came and agaiu struck the
track, but at the same point lost it
again. Still again the well-trained an
imals got the scent, and still again lost
it. Then becoming worried,they began
circling about with bullied cries. Until
worn out, the party followed, but final
ly seeing that a new start would have
to be made, all returned to the camp.
All Sunday morning, little parties of
two or three, and some .singly scoured
the woods.
But with no success.
CAPT. PLUNKETT’S ADVENTURE.
Sunday morning he was seen.
Capt. Plunkett was coming in with
his train and when about eleven miles
from the city met the negro. The en
gineer, by the description furnished,
recognized him as the murderer of Hun
ter.
Ho had no pistol, but attempted by a
ruse tosecurehim. Stopping the train,
he stooped under the engine as if fix
ing some part.
Then, coming out, he pretended to
notice tlie negro for the first time, and
called to him, telling him if he would
help him fix his engine he would let
him ride to Athens for nothing.
But the negro was too sharp, and an
swered that he didn’t care to ride.
The engineer then began walking up
towards him, and informed Morrison
that he guessed lie would come along
whether he wanted to or not. At this
the negro drew a pistol and began back
ing off, saying lie would shoot the man
down who attempted to follow him
By these means he escaped, not a man
in the party having a fire arm of any
sort-
A HOT CHASE.
Rushing on into Athens with his
train, Capt. Plunkett and others on it
informed the citizens of having seen the
negro.
Then the excitement was terrific
Parlies organized at once, and left
for the locat ion where Morrison was last
seen. Some went in buggies, some
horseback, and others waited for the 4
o’clock Georgia train. On this were
about fifty, who had with them the two
excellent dogs of Mr. Autrey.
A little the other side of Hutcherson
Sheriff Weir and hi* party were passed
who gave them instructions to go on as
far as Pope’s, scatter out, and work on
back through the country.
When Tope’s station was reached
off jumped the crowd, and a search was
began.
Part went to ths right and part to the
left, while still a third division took
route lying near the railroad track.
Those with the dogs took the right
hand side of track as you approach Ath
ens.
After beating through tbe country
for about a mile without finding a trai k
or anything pointing to the negro being
recently in that vicinity, a negro was
met coming from Hutchersons. He was
immediately tackled for news, hut after
a thorough investigation the crowd be
came satisfied that he knew nothing ol
the escaped criminal.
ANOTHER CLUE.
Just at this point up came a buggy at
a furious rate, * tearing over
brush heaps, stumps and on through a
cotton patch with no thought of safety.
Ou reaching the party, those in the
buggy shouted for the dogs. On being
questioned it was found out that the
negro had been seen, and Sheriff Weir
and others from Athens were waiting
by his track for the dogs. Throwing
these in the buggy, off tore the crowd
hack up the track nearly to Hutcher
son’s. They seemed never to tire, and
reached their destination soon after
the dogs were put on the track.
This new ijrail was found by three
countrymen, who with their long rifles
had been searching tlie woods all the
morning. The track was recognized by
the loss of a tap off of the heel of one of
his shoes, and made more Certain by the
finding of a piece of paper with “Mem
phis, Tenn.” (the name of Morrison’s
home) written on it.
On this track the dogs were put, and
took it immediately.
AN EXCITING RUN.
Oil they started at a full run for a
dense swamp, crying at every step.
The crowd followed also at a run.
On into the swamp they went, miring
at times way over the shoe tops, and at
others working their way through dense
underhush.
The dogs were at full ciy about a
quarter of a mile in front. Suddenly
just as a clearing was reached by those
of the footmen nearest the dogs, these
were heard to turn and come back.
Stopping, the crowd awaited. Near
er and nearer sounded the yelps, and
soon a beautiful, but thrilling sight was
seen. Over an eight-rail fence leaped
the dogs and on they came. Behind
them were four or live men on horse
back coming at full speed. All had
Winchester rifles on their shoulders,
and seemed perfectly reckless. The
fence was reached, but not even a slack
ing of the wild run was noticed. Over
the fenee they came as if it was only a
foot high, and the brag thorough-breds
of England, mounted by the best jock
eys, could not have cleared it with more
ease or grace.
The dogs came within ten feet of the
party on foot, and passed at full tilt and
cry. The horsemen then dashod hy,
and th« men on foot followed.
After going about two hundred yards
further, the track was lost, and bewil
dered, the dogs began barking
sharply and quickly, and circled
about trying to regain the lost trail.
Back they went and began again, and
this time kept it for about half a mile,
in which a large turn was made back
into the densest part of the swamp.
Here it was lost again, and the su n was
setting. Back into the clearing went
the hounds, seeking fur the lost trail.
A small fodder house was searched,at
the door of which lay a half-eaten wa
termelon. The door was jerked open,
and in fearlessly leaped one of the par-
The search was continued until
every nook and corner had been inves
tigated, but uo sign of the negro. Then
oft' again, but rather demoralized.
Darkness was falling rapidly, and
there was no telling when the trail
would be found. Many of the party
were compelled to return to Athens that
night, and at this point left for the rail
road track to flag down the Atlions
hound train. This they did and return
ed to the city.
THE WRONG MAN.
About eight those remaining were
aroused again by the dogs, which had
been ceaseless in their attempts to find
the lost trail, starting off again in full
cry. Crashing through tlie under
brush they followed, and it was a stirr
ing race.
Night was on, and in the swamp, the
darkness was so great that nothing
could he distinguished. But the crowd
never fagged. Their stern determina
tion kept them going, though all expe
rienced rough falls and many scratches
and cuts from briars and low hanging
limbs.
The chase got hotter and hotter, and
the crowd more excited and determin
ed. Finally by their yelps, the crowd
knew that the man was at bay, and
then came the most exciting part.
Tlie men had no doubt about follow
ing the right man, and thought they
had him.
They found the dogs yelping around
a house, and surrounded it imraedi-
ately,
One of the party went to the door,
and knocked.
No answer.
Again lie knocked and demanded ad
mission in the name of the law. Some
one called out from inside, that they
were after the wrong man, and opening
the door a terribly scared negro ap
peared.
After a thorough search, and com
plete investigation the crowd decided
that they had followed the wrong man,
and completely worn out and disgusted,
made a new start. Nothing more was
done of any account that night, though
the search was kept up.
YESTERDAY MORNING.
In the morning parties were search
ing for the escaped scoundrel all over
tlie country. In Athens everybody was
asking for news, and the wildest ru
mors were afloat. Nobody knew any
th ng for certain, but everybody had
heard something and all different tales.
The whole town was wrought up to a
high pitch,- and wanted to do something
but did not know what.
THE FIRST NEWS OF TnE CAPTURE.
About half past five yescerday after
noon Messrs. Orr & Hunter received
the following telegiam:
“Sheriff caught negro here.”
Joe Reynolds.”
News of this soon got out, and the
wires were made hot between here and
Madison, trying to find out something
more definite.
For a half hour nothing could be heard
and the people began to fear that a mis
take had been made.
But a little after six answers began to
come in, and all to the same effect, viz.:
That the negro was caught, admitted
the crime, and was on his way to Au
gusta in charge of Sherifl' Weir. Then
the excitement grew until a minor was
started that instead of going to Augus
ta the negro would he brought here on
the S o’clock train.
MEETING THE TRAIN.
This spread like wild fire, and knots
of excited men could he seen discussing
the affair on every corner. By half
past seven a tremendous crowd were at
the Georgia depot to meet the train. It
rolled in on time, but no negro.
However, Mr. Pres Elder, thecaptur-
er, was on board, and while the crowd
were intensely disappointed at not find
ing their man, they greedily drank in
Mr. Elder’s account of the capture.
THE CAPTURE.
Mr. Elder gave the following account
of the capture:
A little before live o’clock yesterday
afternoon he and Sheriff Weir were in
Madison, when the former was seized
with an idea of going dowu the Georgia
road. He spoke to the sheriff' who ap
proved the idea, and securing a horse
and buggy off" they put.
They put out down the Georgia road,
keeping their eyes open for any
signs of the man they wanted. When
about two miles from Madison, Mr. El
der espied a ntgro walking towards
them about two hundred yards oft', and
immediately cried : “Jack, there’s our
nigger.” . t.,u
Jumping from the buggy he rushed
towards him, and seeing tbe negro
make a niotiou to draw a pistol, jerked
out his own ami pointing it in his face
shouted “Hands up.” Up they went,
and up drove our sherifl'.
“Are you armed ?” asked Mr. Elder.
“Yes,” was the answer as he made a
motion to lower his bauds and get out
his pistol.
“If you move your hands I will blow
your brains out.”
Sheriff Weir then walked up, and took
from the negro a pistol which was stuck
in a pocket in lus shirt. This was the
only weapon found on him, and was
loaded.
No money was found in his pockets.
After a complete search, Mr. Elder
asked:
“What’s your name?”
“Ed. Morrison,” was the answer.
“Where are you from?”
“Memphis, Tenn.”
“Wherehave you been working?”
“On the G., C. & N.”
”I)id you kill Mr. Hunter?” was the
next question, as Mr. Elder shoved his
pistol in a threatening manner iu the
face of the villain.
“Yes,” was the answer, and as he
said it, Mr. Weir jerked the pistol from
Mr. Elder’s hand. As he did so Mr.
‘ Elder drew back, and with his bare list
knocked Morrison flat, and picking him
up, threw him in the bottom of the bug
gy.
Both men leaped in after him, and
tying him, drove rapidly to town.
Catching the Georgia fast train, they
put him ou and started with him for
Augusta.
nOW UK LOOKED.
lie was handcuffed securely, and sat
by Sheriff' Weir. Just in front was Mr*
' Elder with one end of a rope in his
j hands, the other end of which was tied
' to the negro.
Morrison was sullen, and while ad
mitting the crime, seemed to care noth
ing about it. He sat quietly on the
seat, gazing steadily and sullenly out of
the window. Few questions were ask
ed him and tbe answers received were
shortly givon.
CLOSE ON HIS TRACK.
In speaking of the chase he said that
the dogs came near him several times
Saturday night, and once came within
a very short distance of him,
He also told of the meeting with the
Georgia train.
Sunday afternoon, he says, members
of the party passed within a few feet of
him several times, and he expected to
be discovered every minute. The dogs
were close on him also, at several diff
erent times, hut lost the track each
time.
The description of his clothing tallied
with those worn at the time of the cap
ture, with the exception of the pants,
which the negro said he got in exchange
with another negro.
EXCITEMENT IN WATKINSVILLE.
Those who came in on the train last
night, report a large and determined
crowd at Watkinsville.
It was a crowd that meant business
and many had their coats off, while all
wore armed.
As the train slowed up, about twenty
jumped on, and demanded of the con
ductor where the negro was.

THE FEELING IN ATHENS.
In the city the feeling was high, and
while rejoiced at the capture of the
murderer, many were greatly disap
pointed because of his being taken to
Augusta, and though they know that he
will eventually pay the penalty of his
crime, they think that the murder was
so dastardly and unprovaked that the
quicker lie is gotten off of this earth the
better it would be for all.
The negro gave no explanation of the
cause of his shooting Hunter, and that
it was a cold-blooded, base, ignob’e,
dastardly and vicious murder grows
stronger in the minds of our citizens
every moment.
