JACK REID RETURNS TO GRIFFIN,
WHERE HE WAS BURIED 20 YEARS AGO
Creates Great Sensation by Denying In
scription on His Tombstone.
Has Been Through Several Wars in Different Coun -
tries, Besides Marrying a tThird Time.
From Daily of Saturday, Sept. 12th.
Griffin ex periet ced the biggea
sensation Thursday that it has
Ipjown in along time by the appear
ance of Jack Reid in his old resorts,
atter an absence of thirty years and »
first-class funeral here tweruy yea>s ,
ago. Consefva*««-c>M*MO wbo b«-
Heve in the fixwdnevs ®t thu<ga, and
the pail bearers Mio put ike coffin
in the grave, tecMtoed *0 be
sceptical as to the identity o< the
man whose tombstone reoosds his
virtues in Oak Hill oemehery ; but
he responded so yeadlly to the tests
of old acquuintaacee Ibsat all doubt
was dispelled from the uinds of
those who saw and Beard him in
the crowd that attended his levee at
Reid & Gordou’a ba» yesterday
morning.
It will be rfflfcemtere<J that the
News and Sun putdlshed a*Uy eocne
couple of yr.ars ago a report that
Jack Reid, was alive and had gone
to California, tut tins was regarded
as an insubstantial rumor. Like
raost things that appear in these
columns, however, it would have
done to bet on.
Gazing on His Old Home in the
Moonlight.
Mr. Rsid arrived from Texas
Wednesday night, but did not make
himself known. He went up and
wept on tue coping of Thus. Nail’s
place, once the home of his family,
a. d was strongly tempted to go in,
but did not do so. Thursday morn
mg be was attracted by the name
ou Reid & Gordon’s bar and want
in and asked Jim Raid if he knew
mui Jmi 1 joked ao him closely and
said from his features hp. should be
a Reid, whereupon Jack revealed
his identity and they found that
they were tom-ins.
Accounts for His Funeral.
The wayfarer was told that he
i was dead and buried here twenty
y-.’ars ago, having bean shipped from
Texas, but he had an explanation fur
the occurrence. He said that he and
a uoinpanion were in j -il on the same
cnaige, thaß his companion died,
and he, not having revealed his
identity, declared that the dead man
: was Jack Re*d, of Griffin. He fails,
; however, to account for the fact
’ rhxt bis second wife acconipaniud
the remains here. She was a Mies
Ware, daughter of a street overseer
in Griffin’s early days and sister of
I “Sarge Plunkett,” the Constitution
’ writer, and afterwards married a
j Methodist preacher.
Identified by Old Friends.
f Mr. R?ld was confronted by Anol
J and Charlie Wright, Arthur Pritch
-5 aid, Captain Grantland, John Mills
and other contemporaries of the
time he had lived in Griffin, and
. recalled many incidents known to
them and him alone, though he
complained that a wound in his
B head, as well as the lapse of time,
, had somewhat confused his reool
leotions. He said that during nis
, thirty years absence he bad been in
i every country of North, Central
f and South America, hod been in
half a dozen wars and married a
i Mexican lady, by whom ha bad a
. daughter, now dead, whose picture
* he exhibited. His wife being also
t dead, he had concluded to revisit
i the scenes of his young manhood.
Greeted by His Old. Body Ser-
• vant.
s
, One of the most interesting scenes
1 of his recognition wus the welcome
given him by an old darkey named
, Henry Reid, who greeted him un
ties.tatingly as “Master Jack,” and
recalled the time when his master,
taking him eff to college as a body
servant, had oarriec him to Mobile
and sold him for SBOO spending
money ana “ole missus” had
' bough, him back for f9OO.
’ John i. . I’s Early History.
i John R-uu was or is the son of
John and Sarah Reid, born in 1839,
e the only other child bem? Miss
.- Mollie, now Mrs Charles G. Mills.
tie was married about the begin
ning of the civil war to Miss Lula
Boston, of Savannah, and together
e they had a very comfortable com
□ peisnee, which they soon dissipated
in extravagance. She then secured
a divorce and married a Methodist
1 Drencher, who came du wn from the
North to preach to the negroes.
Jubn drifted along from one thing
■ to another, his last experience here
oeing as er at White Plains
tchool house in the early seventies,
tie went to Texas an I became lost
'o his family until he was brought
•jack and buried about ten years
liter h s departure.
Mr. Reid is a small, spare man,
with a florid complexion and the
looks of one who han seen much of
she woild in its differdnt phases,
but inteie-Ged, though not particu
larly conoerued, in what it may yet
have in store fur him.
His Sister is in Doubt
The announcement of her broth
er’s return from »be dead was tele
phoned to Mrs Mills, who was in
Atlanta, who was so overcome that
she fainted. She returned yester
day evening and met the man, and
after some conversation, in which
she asked him some questions that
ne could not answer, she said »he
wuuld see him again, and after his
departure expressed doubts as to its
being her brother.
HIS SISTER-IN-LAW
DENIES HIM.
Mrs. W. T. Speights, Slater of Rald’e Sec
ond Wife, Say* This Man 1* Not Be.
Col. T. R Mills went to Atlanta
Thursday to secure the evidence of
Mrs. T. M Speights, a suburban
resident of that place, who is a sis
ter of Jack Reid’s second wife.
Mrs. Speights came down Thursday
evening and is the guest of her
cousin, Mr. Rlake. Yesterday she
confronted the man who claims to
be Reid and asked him if he knew
her. He said he did nut, and she
retorted:
“No, and neither do I know you.
Yet if you are Ju jk Reid you were
married at my father’s house in my
presence.”
Mrs. Speights seys that she has
the doctor’s certificate that Jack
Reid died in Marshall, Texas, at a
hot-il, from pneumonia, and that
his wife nursed him during his ill
ness and c imbed his hair for him
after his death. She avers posi
tively that this man is an impostor.
A First Cousin Identifies Him.
On the other hand, W. P. Blan
ton, a well-known planter of this
county and a man of the highest
integrity, fully identified the man
as Reid by a scar on the leg that,
unknown to Reid, he was aware of.
It was made by scratching it and
then putting poison on it, that he
might escape active service during
the war. and the poison ate nearly
to the bone.
Col. Thurman Recognizes Him.
Col. T. W. Thurman told the
News and Sun yesterday that he
had met a man in New Orleans
about ten years ago who introduced
himself as Jack Reid, of Griffin, and
that this was the same man, telling
the colonel the places they had vis
ited together wheie Reid was the
guide.
Joi. Thurman says that Reid said
then he was coming back to Griffin
some day and see his old friends.
Ha says that Jack Reid used to be
around his office a good deal, and
while he has changed some, he now
resembles his father more than
ever, particularly in his voice and
his manner of speaking.
Others Doubt His Identity,
Judge Hammond had an inter
view with tins man of uncertain
antecedents yesterday and tried to
noall many mutual friends and in
cidents, bui was unable to do so and
does nut believe it is Jack Reid.
Henry Huff, who ran the blockade
with Jack Retd at Mobile with
SI,OOO in gold on him, had the same
experience and the same unbelief.
An Opium Eater,
The preponderance of evidence,
the recalling of mtny things that
a stranger could not know, would
strongly indicate that the man is
what he professes to be ; while his
lapses and forgetfulness on other
points seem to prove that among
other habits he has contracted that
of using opium, which would pro
duce that condition of mind, and
this, added to known habitual ec
centricity, accounts for many
things.
Anyhow, why should anybody
pretend to be the once dead Jack
Reid?
Acknowledged by Relatives.
Jack Reid was fully recognized
and acknowledged by his sister,
Mrs. Charles Mills, Saturday morn
ing, while a married daughter by
his first wife, named Mrs. Sallie
i ; Blanton Raid Bsasley, is on the way
to see him and is expected to arrive
today.
Mr. Reid is a sufferer from asthma
t and heart disease and was laid up
residence of Mrs. Watt, exhausted
by the continued strain that he has
most ctjtha day Saturday at the
been on for the last three days.
Saturday afternoon, however, he
was oat driving with his sister.
With ell his faults and wild life,
Mr. Reid is by birth and education
a gentleman and has sustained him
self as such since his return. He '
has asked no favors of any one and
says that he has none to ask except
that be may spend his last days,
which he considers to be few,
among his friends and relatives.
Three days of this nine days won
der have already passed, and per
haps, now that his status is settled,
by another week people may find
something else to talk about besides
Jack Reid ; though his history will
not soon be forgotten by those who
keep the unwritten annals of Griffin.
The Inopportuneness
of Misfortune*
Just when we were about to pub
lish a full account of the biggest
sensation Griffin has had in years,
the main cog wheal of the press
broke in two pieces yesterday. Al
though the machirists and the of
fice force worked on it all night,
it was impossible to get the damage
repaired in time to get out a paper
Thursday morning.
Also, this happening had to occur
on Thursday, when the large edition
of the G. S. W. was only half off.
It seems to boa well esiablished
fact that misfortune always comes
at the moss inopportune time. Did
any of our readers ever know it to
be otherwise?
Nobody ever gets hurt right aftei
taking out an accident policy : it is
always before, or just after the
policy has expired. Bo it is, seem
ingly, with all the buffets of fate:
the hardest blows come when a
man is down.
Such were the reflections of the
editorial room ; the reflections cast
upon fortune in the press room will
not do to publish, but may be safely
left to the imagination of anyone
possessing a vigorous vocabulary.
It is thought that the cog wheel
cracked in printing the story of the
$29,000 in gold found in the
well near Hampton, and the tale of
Jack Reid's resurrection broke it all
up.
We have had a new ccg wheel
made of brass, warranted to stand
the toughest kind of a news story.
