MiLLARO LEE DIES
' ON THE GALLOWS
Pnys Death Penalty For His
Sweetheart's Murder.
HE STOOD THE ORDEAL WELL
, Went to Gallow Without a Tremor.
Last Words Were “Have Read My
Bible and Made Peace With My God;
I am’Ready to Die.” i
Atlanta, Oct. 30.—For the murder
of Miss Lila May Suttles, his playmate
from childhood and with whom he
was afterwards in love, Millard Lee,
who has tor months aud months been
confined in jail awaiting the final de ;
cision of the courts in his case, was
this morning hanged in the Fulton
county jail.
Lee went on the gallows without p
tremor. He stood the ordeal w-eii.
He did not flinch. He walked with
a firm step, and when his friends bade
him good-by he replied in a steady
voice.
Sheriff J. VV. Nelms conducted the
hanging. He had known Millard Lee
from boyhood, and it was a difficult
matter lor the sheriff to pall the trig
ger which sent the young murderer i
into the great hereafter.
Very few people were in the gal
lows room. Only the officials and
three newspaper men were allowed.
Lee was pronounced dead shortly af
ter the drop fell by Dr. W. C. Fisher,
the county physician.
Millard Lee's Last Words.
Milliard Lee’s lust words were:
"I have read my Bible and have
made peace with my God; I am ready
to die, and know that I will go to I
heaven.'’.
After this Lee mumbled in a low
monotone several sentences that were
mot audible to those gathered about
the gallows.
Last night Lee slept well. At
times lie would awake, but the death
watch says he would immediately go
to sleep again. Thjs morning he ate
sparingly of the breakfast which was
given him and was rather moody. He
had but little to say to those around
him. He knew that he had to die,
and was prepared for it.
When Sheriff Nelms appeared at the
cell door and read the oeath warrant
to the condemned man he failed slight
ly, but quickly recovered himself and
announced that he was ready to go.
He dressed in a suit of black for the
gal-lows, and was led to the gallows
room by Deputy Sheriff Shropshire.
There his feet, and legs and hands
were tied with ropes, the black cap
put in readiness, and after Lee made
few farewell remarks, the black cap
was adjusted and the trigger which
held the trap door was pulled. Lee's
body shot down six feet: then it bound
ed back about four and "then whirled
around and arousd for five or six
minutes. After that it was almost
motionless, except for a swaying to
and fro. Shortly afterwards Dr.
Fisher felt his pulse, and listened for
his heart boat. Then he was pro
nounced dead, the body was cut down
and placed in a coffin and turned over
to his relatives. (
The funeral will be held out at Ben
Hill this afternoon.
Story of the Crime.
The crime for which Millard Lee
paid the death penalty today was com
mitted on May 20, 1902, when he shot
and killed Miss Lila May Suttles, a
beautiful 17-year-old girl, who lived at
Bern Hill, a country village, several
miles from Atlanta.
The shooting occurred on Sunday
morning and in a church of which M:
Suttles and Lee were attendants. The
tragedy took place directly after the
minister had pronounced the benedic
tion and was dimissing the congrega
tion. Lee, who had been very much
in love .with. Miss Siut'.les. bad cre
viousiy asKen to go nome with her rm
she had rein./od, stating she had an
engagement with another, which seem
ed to anger Lee.
During the service Lee had been
seated three'seats behind her and a
she started out of the church, meeting
her face to ?acn in the aisle, fired
three times at her with a pistol. One
of the bullets took effect, killing Miss
I Suttles instantly. She fell at the foot
of the altar.
]>ee was afterwards captured and
at his first trial found guilty of mur
der and was sentenced to death. Upon
I the day of execution a plea of insan
! ity was filed by his attorneys and a
| respite was granted by Governor Ter-
I rell. The ear ■ was carried to the su-
I pc-Hor court r.; upon a technicality
I was thrown out. An appeal was tak
; en to the supreme court and the judg
-1 taent of the lower court was reversed.
I This action occasione da trial on the
! plea of insanity, and Lee was ad
! judged sane. Again the case was
1 appealed to the court of last resort
i which affirmed the superior court’s de
j cision. While the case was pending
i in the various courts Lee was granted
■ six respites.

COTTON GROWING IN AFRICA* j
Dark Continent Becoming Formidable
Rival to America.
New York, Oct. 31. —Interest has
been renewed in the rotten growing
experiments bttng conducted in West
Africa, says a Herald difc'patch from
London, through an interview given
by Sir Alfred Jones, a prominent Liv.
erpooi merchant, who has been study
ing the production of cotton for three
years. He declared that the Unite I
States will soon want for home use all
the cotton grown there.
“About ten years ago,” he said,
America produced about 7,000,001) bales
of cotton and Great Britain took half
iot it. Now America produces 11,000,-
000 bales and Great Britain takes no
more than she did ten years ago. Then
the British cotton growing association
was started and the results of the as
sociation work have been more satis
factory than I anticipated. The whole
' if the West African colonies and the
West Indies have been made to take
a deep interest in the question of rais
ing cotton and are working exceeding
ly well be produced more cheaply in
We-st Africa than in the United
States.”
