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.

The fact became gen erally known among the negroes of the community, and it was to secure this money that the plot was planned.
