ATIEMPTED ROBBERY.
Tour Plot to Murder Mrs.
J. E. J. Perkins and Set fire
to Premises.
When Mrs. .1. E. J. Perkins, an
aged widow woman living about
four miles from Winder, in Jackson
county, entered her home early
Saturday evening she was attacked
by a negro boy who had secreted
himself behind a door.
The negro had choked Mrs. Per
kins almost into insensibility when
the commotion attracted the atten
tion of her grandson, who was
seated by the fire in an adjoining
room taking a nap.
In his efforts to hasten to the
rescue the grandson ran over a
chair and created a great racket.
The presence of others in the
house was a surprise to the negro,
and he loosened his grip on Mrs,
Perkin’s throat and made his
escape.
The grandson alarmed the neigh
borhood and a searching party was
soon organized which rounded up
some eight or ten negroes.
At the commitment ofVred Hall,
a negro boy about 19 years of
age, before Justice -J. M. Ilaynie,
the boy admitted his guilt, and
implicated throe other negroes, WiU
Perkins, an old and trusted servant
of the family, and Arthur and
Luther Hayes,
f Hall said the old Perkins negro
had planned the robbery of Mrs.
Perkins and a little store near the
j house; that the Hayes negroes w< re
I stationed at tJie lot to catch Mrs.
Perkins in ease she ran out of the
| house, the old negro was dressed in
women’s clothing and stationed by
| a tree in front of the residence,
1 while Hall was commissioned to go
! into the hoyse and attack Mrs.
Perkins.
'Flie plan was to kill Mrs. Per
kins and set fire to the house if.
necessary to complete [the robbery.
Mrs. Perkins has been subject to
fainting spells lor several years.
During one of these spells not long
ago two negro women on the plan
tation were called upon to assist in
removing her clothing and placing
her in b and. When they did so they’
noticed that Mrs. Perkins wore a
quite a quantity
i of money attached to a belt around
her waist. The fact became gen
erally known among the negroes of
the community, and it was to secure
this money that the plot was
planned.
Judge Haynie bound Hal) over to
Jackson superior court Monday and
ordered the arrest of the other three
negroes implicated. At the com
mitment trial Wednesday they were
also sent to Jefferson jail-
