\ DYNAMITER’S DOOM.
Jackson Convicted nntl Sent Iji for
Ten Years.
When The Courant was put to press
last week the trial of Tobe Jackson under
a charge of assault with intent to mur
der had just been called in our superior
court. This was the case of blowing up
Judge Collins’ residence with dynamite
last January. The day was consumed in
obtaining a jury, which was composed of
the following gentlemen:
W E Teat, Foreman, YV B YVoodall,
R J Reagan, T J Elrod, Alford Wolford,
J C Raiford, E B Elrod, W YY r Cotton,
A Greenwood, Howard Wilson, J B
Smith, F A Smith.
The evidence against Tobe was about
the same as was produced against James
Beard, who was acquitted, with proba
bly a few exceptions. Morrison and
Spencer swore about the same and with
that degree of coolness as was displayed
in the Beard case. They could not be
tangled up by the lawyers and no amount
of cross-examining could make them
waver in the least. The testimony of
Gus Baker and Sam Jackson was not
produced. Friday was consumed in the
delivery of the testimony and when
night came it was agreed to hear speeches
after supper. Mr. Heyward, lor the
defense, spoke at length after supper and
w’as followed by Col. Graham in behalf
of the state.
Saturday morning found the courtroom
crowded with an anxious audience who
were bent on hearing the arguments of
both sides. Col. Graham concluded the
speech commenced the night before and
was followed by Messrs Ab. Baker and
Shelby Attaway for the defense. They
made a hard fight for their client and
contested every inch of ground, which
was listened to with rapt attention by
the large audience. At noon Mr. Baker
ooncluded and court took a recess. YVhen
court met again Solicitor General J. W.
Harris, Jr., began his argument, which
is conceeded by every one who heard it
to be the finest criminal speech ever
heard in the court house.
Solicitor Harris commenced his re
marks by showing very lucidly to the
jury the animosity that Tobe entertained
towards Judge Collins and the causes for
such animosity; recalled the threats
made by the defendant to divers persons;
his appearance in town the night of the
explosion in company with his brother
Sara and Jim Beard; his yell, so familiar
to those that know him, being recognized
soon after the explosion, nearly at the
same instant —a yell of triumph, not a
wail as the atrocious deed would call
from any one in distress. The defendant
was traced to almost the very spot of the
explosion, in company with his partners in
crime. The evidence, though merely
circumstantial, was of the strongest kind,
and as the able solicitor welded link to
link in the chain of evidence with such
perfection the audience was satisfied
that the fate of the accused was sealed.
The audience was awe-struck and as the
word3 fell from the speaker’s lips they
were grasped eagerly,—the whole speech
though, occupying nearly two hours, did
not seem to be of an half hour’s dura
tion. At the conclusion of the argument
he appealed to the jury, in the name of
a distressed community, for the wives
and children of men who might have
the enmity of the accused; for, said he,
the fellow would just as soon kill the
innocent ones belonging to an enemy as
the enemy himself. This much was ad
duced in the testimony. In the event
that Tobe was turned loose he might en
tertain a hatred towards him, the solici
tor, and would no doubt make an at
tempt to destroy him and his family. He
was only doing what Judge Collins did
and that was to punish criminals. Jack
son attempted to murder Judge Collins
and would just as soon make such an
attempt ou the solicitor. The appeal
was truly grand and there were very few
dry eyes in the room. Mr. Harris was
warmly congratulated. It was noticed
plainly that several of the jury were
moved by the eloquent speech, while
some shed tears.
Judge Fain made an able charge to
the jury, covering all the points of law
in the case, after which the jury retired.
Returning in about an hour the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty. The
Judge immediately sentenced the prison
er to eight years in the penitentiary.
The prisoner had about reached the jail
when w r ord came to the ears of the Judge
that Jim Beard had been making con
fessions on the streets, saying that Mor
rison had sworn the truth. The Judge
immediately ordered Tobe brought back
into the courtroom when two years was
added to the sentence, which made the
full limit,
Tobe took his sentence quietly, but on
the way to jail he seemed surprised at
the finding of the jury and expressed him
self very rough towards some of the
witnesses, who he said, had sworn false
ly against him.
All along Tobe has conducted himself
with a bouyant spirit and did not seem
to fear the result of the trial. It i3
thought by many that Tobe, thinking if
he was convicted he could easy break
jail, and thus it was he felt hopeful. It
was due to this feeling that it was con
cluded to carry him to the Atlanta jail
Sunday morning. Accordingly at that
time guards were at the jail ready to
carry him and Sam to Atlanta for safe
keeping. They were greatly surprised at
the turn of affairs and became mad.
Sam swore that no one would handcuff
him, and, grabbing a piece of a stool,
backing up into a corner, he w r arned the
guards to keep clear, threating to kill the
first man that came at him. He was,
however overpowered and handcuffed.
Tobe gave in and submitted to being
handcuffed quietly. At the depot Sam
indulged in a good deal of profanity and
it w’as with difficulty that he was placed
on board of the cars. All the way to
Atlanta the prisoners swore vengeance
against parties here, and Tobe went so
far as to say he would be back in ten
years and would make it warm for his
enemies. They were safely landed in the
Atlanta jail, where they will remain until
the October term when Sam will be
brought back to stand trial. Tobe will
probably be brought back at that time to
stand trial in the case of the Strickland
killing, he being charged with having a
hand in it.
TOBE TALKS.
To a Constitution reporter Tobe has
made many statements, one to the effect
that Spencer and Morrison had been em
ployed to testify in the case, and, another
to the effect that there was a conspiracy
made to kill and rob Maj. Renfroe, of the
ore banks, all of which is but the ravings
of a disappointed and surprised criminal.
Tobe is mad and is liable to say many
things not complimentary to any one who
was connected with his conviction. As
to murdering Maj. Renfroe, Tobe made
the same statement to Mr. Broughton,
one of his guards to Atlanta, and referred
to certain parties in this place to substan
tiate his statement. As soon as Mr.
Broughton returned he made inquiries of
the parties, who by the way are related
to Tobe, and they stoutly denied the
existence of any such plot.
NO NEW TRIAL.
Tobe Jackson wants anew' trial but
we understand his attorneys will not
move for one.
IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Jim Beard, by a simple slip of his us
ual quiet tongue, has gotten himself into
a great deal of trouble. Saturday after-
noon during progress of the argument
Jim stopped into John Teague’s shoe
shop and remarked to John Hdlburn,
who was present, that Mark Morrison
iiad sworn the truth in his testimony in
the Jackson case. This was conveyed to
the solicitor’s ears, w'ho had a warrant
issued for Beard charging him with per
jury. Jim was carried before ’Squire
Smith Monday morning, who bound him
over to the grand jury in the sum of two
hundred dollars. Upon failure to secure
bondsmen he was remanded to jail.
NOTES OF THE TRIAL.
The courtroom had been deserted when
the jury retired in the Jackson case, but
when the bailiff' called out for the solic
itor and the defendant’s attorneys, a
rush was made towards the courthouse,
the people feeling that the jury had
made up their verdict The wildest ex
citement was evinced by’ some of most
staid old citizens when it was read
The verdict of the jury in Tobe’s was
received with general satisfaction by the
people. A great many were of the opin
ion before the trial that Tobe was inno
cent of the charge, but changed their
opinion on hearing the evidence.
In giving the testimony of Mark Mor
rison in the Beard case we stated that
Beard was seen with dynamite car
tridges. We were mistaken and with
draw that part of the testimony.
The dissatisfaction was great with our
people when the verdict of “not guilty”
was rendered in the Beard case. Four
men on the jury were in favor of convic
tion at first, whose names are John L.
Smith, Geo. Smith, John Bobo and W.
YV. Stokes.
These cases are the most important
in the annals of our criminal courts, and
through them it was developed that the
Cartersville bar possesses some able
criminal lawyers*
The jury in the Jackson case was
warmly congratulated by some of our
very best citizens, and their verdict was
greatly appreciated.
There is no disputing the fact that
Jackson has some warm friends who
did everything in their power to acquit
him. They took the verdict as hard as
Tobe himself did.
The youngsters of the town will draw
a long moral lesson from the fate of Tobe
Jackson. A few months ago he was a
hero with them but just now he don’t
seem so important in their eyes. They
have also learned that notoriety gained
at such risks is not such a desirable
thing at last.
The blind tiger will miss his keeper,
now that Tobe has been sent up. The
roar of the animal is now a thing of the
past. The prohibitionists now confi
dently expect a fair trial of the prohibi
tion law.
Music.
Having accepted the music class in the
East Cartersville school, Mr. Carney
president, I will begin at the new school
house the 23d of August. The music
patronage of the friends and patrons of
this school and the town of Cartersyille
is most respectfully solicited.

In Memoriam.
Mrs. Eliza Conyers, wife of Bennett H.
Conyers, deceased, and daughter of
Christopher Bowen, deceased, died June
7th 1886.
Our beloved sister was a consistent,
devoted member of the Baptist church
at Cartersville, and of the YVoman’s
Missionary Society of the same church.
She was among the first to join the
Society; and, though aged and enfeebled,
remained faithful unto death—faithful in
attendance, faithful in contribution.
YVhat a record! Surely her absence
will be noticed, her vacant seat cause our
hearts a pang of sadness; yet our loss is
her eternal gain.
In the translation of our sister from us
unto her rest in Heaven, we feel that we
have one friend less to comfort and cheer
us in trouble; one less helper in church
and society, one less saint to walk the
earth and show faith the glory of our
God. Divine grace had prepared our
dear sister for the discharge of every
duty; as friend and neighbor she was
sympathetic and obliging; as a mother
affectionate and devoted ; as a Christian
she adorned her profession by an upright,
godly walk and conversation.
To live and work for the Master was
the ambition of her life; and, like the
Psalmist of Israel, she loved the sactuary
of the Lord.
Let us cherish the memory of her vir
tues, imitate her example, and look
hopefully forward to an everlasting
reunion. Sleep on dear sister, until the
resurrection morn, when the last
trumpet shall unite in ascribing ever
lasting praises unto the Lamb of God,
our risen Redeemer.
YVhereas, It lias pleased our kind
Father to remove our beloved sister,
Resoved,
First, That our Missionary Society has
lost an earnest, faithful member, a
worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
Second, That we dedicate a page of
our Society Books to her memory.
That a copy of the proceedings be
tendered her bereaved family, with the
assurance of our sincere sympathy in this
deep affliction: and that we commend
them to Him who alflicteth not willingly,
but in love and mercy; that we also send
a copy to the Christian Index, and to our
city papers each with request of publica
tion.

of young gentlemen and ladies from

ered at the residence of Capt. Morton for
the purpose of a lawn party. The lawn

so the Captain opened his house to them.
They passed off the time very pleasantly
for some time, talking and chatting to

furnished by the Captain’s family and
some of the guests, arranged on the table
in the very best style by Mrs. YVood, of

Marshal R. L. Jones, of West End,
who several months ago killed Frank P.
Gray, a resident of that place, is still
confined in Fulton county jail, where he
is likely to remain until his trial comes
off, which will take place at the next
term of the Superior Court of that coun
ty. At the time of the killing an effort
was made to have Jones released on bond,
but a hearing of the motion was deferred
on account of the sickness of one of the
most important witnesses in the case. A
second date was arranged for the hearing
was postponed for the same cause.
Since then no application has been made
to Judge Clark, and it is premised that
Jone6’ lawyers are willing to have him
remain in jail until the trial comes off .

Mr. Dunn’s Afflictions
Two weeks ago Friday, Mrs. Dunn,
wife of Uncle “Ish” Dunn, of the W. &
A. R. R., was buried at Smyrna.
Last Friday, two daughters in the same
casket were buried near tier.
Before Mrs. Dunn died she called her
two daughters, Mattie and Lester, aged
respectively ten and eight years, to her
bedside and told them that she knew she
was going to die, and that she wanted
them to take charge of the twin babies
and care for them like mothers. Lester,
the eight year-old daughter and the
mother’s favorite, told her mother that
she would take the smallest child. Mat
tie took the largest and by the bedside
of the dying mother they promised to
care for the little wee babes, l’he moth
er died and was laid in the silent tomb.
The father and little girls returne 1 to
the desolate home with sad hearts. The
little babes were tenderly cared for by
their older sisters. Lester took the death
of her mother very hard and would
weep at the mention of her name. Sun
day last she was taken sick, and when
her father or sister would ask her It she
wanted anything, she would reply by
saying that she wanted to go to mother.
The little sufferer would talk of going
to mother all the time when she was
awake. She grew worse day by day till
Friday, when, with the words “I am
going to mother” on her lips, the little
heait ceased to throb and her soul took
its flight to the spirit land where the dear
mother was watching and waiting. The
father’s grief cannot be expressed when,
a few hours later, the little babe which
had been given into the keeping of her
sister Lester died. Mr. J. F. Barclay,
the undertaker, placed the two bodies
in the same casket. The babe was plac
ed on the left arm of the sister, with
her face looking up. Mr. Barclay says
it was the most touching picture he ever
looked upon, and that none were present
who did not shed tears. — Constitution.

10c. Store.
I would beg leave to inform the people of Bar
tow" county and surrounding country to the fact
that I have just opened a TEN CENT STORE
next door to Turner & Baker, jewelers, in Bank
Block, where I hope to see the people of this
section. ‘
In my stock will be found many useful house
hold articles that can be bought at the low price
of ten cents. I certainly offer unprecedented
bargains in needful articles. No article in the
house over ten cents.
In my stock will be found one-half gallon
coffee pots, one-gallon milk pails, eight-inch
wash basins, eight-quart dairy pans, gents’ all
linen 4-ply collars, all-linen towels 16x32, ladies’
balbriggan hose, ladies’ all-linen cape collars,
linen Torchon edging, oriental lace, splashers
10x32, and innumerable other articles, all of
which are indispensable with housekeepers.
Any of the above named articles I will sell
for the astonishing low figure of 10c. If you
want to get the largest amount of goods for the
smallest amount of money the “Ten Cent Store’’
is the place.
Come one and all and secure sledge-hammer
bargains while you have the chance.
All I ask is a trial to convince you of the fact
that I sell cheaper than the cheapest. All are
invited to call and make an early and repeated
examination of my stock. New goods received
every day.

Outwitted the Old Folks.
William Brown a young white man
working at the ore banks of Maj. Ken
froe, yearned for the constant compan
ionship of Miss Sullins, but the parents
of the.yoimg lady shook their heads and
said nay. William set about the out
witting of the old folks, commencing
his operations by securing the necessary
license. The girl was watched con
stantly. Sunday morning she made no
preparations for attending church but
had in view a trip quite of a different
nature. Early in the morning, attired in
her everyday clothing, bonnet and all,
she grabbed a bucket to go to the spring
for a bucket of water. There is nothing
strange about this only that her William
was at the aforesaid spring lying in
wait. The young lady did not stop at
the spring but joined her lover and both
proceeded hastily to the home of ’Squire
Ed. Ford, who had been cautioned to re
main at home that morning for some
purpose. The knot was hastily tied
and the couple was returning home
when they were met by the girl’s pa
rents, who were very angry at the turn
of affairs. They beeame reconciled
however and now the happy couple are
enjoying the unalloyed bliss of their
fondest desires.

A Godsend to This Family. •
It gives me great pleasure to add my
testimonial in recommendation of Curry’s
Liver Compound. My son aged about
twenty-two years was afflicted with a
tremendous misery in the head. He
became almost blind. After trying two
physicians, who pronounced it sore eyes,
but did him no good. I concluded to try
a bottle of your Liver Compound, which
resulted in a perfect cure. lam satisfied
it is one of the best medicinees now be
fore the public and only needs a trial to
recommend itself.
