The Grand Jury of Hall county was called together Wednesday of last week and we print the follow ing from the Georgia Cracker; The Grand Jury adjourned yes terday afternoon at 4‘ 110 o’clock. True bills were returned against Mark Bell, Ollie Bell, Tom Bryson. Charlie Tanner, Henry Towery and Taylor Hamilton, charging them with murder. The Grand Jury made a few presentments among the number a recommendation that the public roads be looked after. Also that it was the sense of that body that it was inadvisable to hold a special • term of court before about the mid dle of November. Judge Estes Stated that lie thought this best but would think the matter over and announce later when the special term to try these casese9 would bo held. Taylor Hamilton is said to have made a full confession before the Grand Jury. What that confession was is known to no one but the grand jurors who heard it. How ever, he told to an Atlanta Jour nal reporter Thursday what pur- poted to be the consession he made here before the Grand Jury. He says that Tom Bryson came to MuysviHe the day before Si Smith was Killed arid told Jinn, and several others, that there was going to be a lynching in Gaines ville that night and he wanted Humilton, Freeman and John Camp bell, of Maysville, to go with him and be in the mob, Hamilton then goes on to relate'fiow he was in duced to come here; how he was in troduced to members of the mob; how they met under a tree and then marched across a pasture' to the jail; how Sheriff Mundav was awakened and Was told the sheriff of Gilmer county had a prisoner to be locKed up; how Sheriff Mundy then opened the door to let them in with the prisoner, and about the shouting which immediately took place. Hamilton says the mob left the jail after .the shooting, going to. a field nearby where some one in the crowd handed him a $20 gold piece android him to hit the 2 o’clock train for home, lie says lie wu 1 Kcd every step to Maysville and got there about an hour before sun up. About the arrest by Detective Looney, Hamilton says: ‘‘The first I saw of Captain Looney was when he came to Maysville. He sat arourd the town and I met him and talked to him about the crops. Ho went away and I did not see him again until one of the marshals came to my house and said that an olficor was waiting down the road in a bug gy for me. I went down there and it was Looney and he arrested me. Campbell had told me that T,oon- ey was going to bring a p^le of money to Maysville and thill-we would get it. But that’s not why I confessed, I,knew I had done vsqng spd l knew the best way out of it was to tell the truth,” •ay*, the Journal. *X hc old “MM* toM the story, without JtorifcrfJan or falter during the recital.
