HAKES CONFESSION OF HORRIBLE CRIME AND IS TORTURED TO
DEATH IK THE PRESENCE OF 2,000 ONLOOKERS.
BOOMED VICTIM WAS MADE TO SUFFER (INDESCRIBABLE AGONIES.
HJs Ears Were Cut Off Before He Was Executed and After the Knriiln; Th«re Wai a
Scramble For the Charred Bones of the Victim, Which
Were Carried Away as Souvenirs.
Sam Holt, tlie negro ©prderer of
Alfred Cranford and the assailant of
Cranford’s wife, was burned at the
stake one mile and a quarter from
Newunn, Ga., Sunday afternoon at
2;3f* o’clock.
Fully 2,000 people surrounded the
.small sapling to which he was fastened
and watched the flames eat away his
flesh, saw his body mutilated by
knives and witnessed the contortions
of his body in his extreme agony.
Two counties, Campbell and Coweta,
•directly interested in the crimes of tho
negro, and the entire state have waited
with impatience for the moment when
the negro should pay the penalty for
his fiendish deeds.
Such suffering has seldom been
witnessed, and through it all the ne¬
gro uttered hardly a cry. During the
contortions of the body, several blood
vessels bnrsted.
Tho spot selected was an ideal one
for s«oh an affair and the stake was in
full view of those who stood about and
xvi'di unfeigning satisfaction saw the
negro meet his death and saw him
tortured before the flames killed him.
For sickening sights, harrowing de¬
tails and bloodcurdling incidents, the
burning of Holt is unsurpassed by any
occurrence of a like kind ever heard
of in the history of Georgia.
A few smouldering ashes scattered
about the place, a blackened Btake, are
tall that was left to tell the story. Not
•even the bones of the negro were left
in peace, but woro eagerly snatched by
n crowd of people drawn from ail
directions, who almost fought over the
burning body of tho man, carving it
with their knives and seeking souvenirs
of 4he occurrence..
Self-confessed and 1 almost defiant,
without a plea for mercy and no ex¬
pectation of it, Holt wont to the stake
with as much courage as any ono
•could possibly have possessed on such
an occasion, and the only murmur
that issued from his lips was when an¬
gry knives plunged into his flesh and
Lis life’s blood sizzled in tho fire be¬
fore bis ejes.
Then he cried, “Oh, my God! Oh,
Jesus!”
Crowd Orderly But Determined.
The crowd that burned Holt made
no mistake, as the man Was identified
iby a dozen people. He admitted his
guilt and told of the murder. He con¬
fessed that be had murdered Cranford
and said the deed was done with the
expectation of obtaining a reward of
$20 from one Lige Strickland.
— He confessed while being brought
an by his captors, confessed when con¬
fronted by Mrs. McEIroy, the heart¬
broken mother of Mrs. Cranford, and
confessed when he was taken from the
fire and asked to tell the truth about
the crime. Ho told the details,always
implicating Lige Strickland.
Although Holt was turned over to
the sheriff and placed in the Newnan
jail, his fate was sealed from the mo¬
ment his captors put in an appearance j
with him.
The remonstrance of ex-Governor
TV. Y. Atkinson and Judge A. D.
Freeman, two of the most prominent
citizens of Coweta county, were of no
avail.
The awful crime of the murderer
and assailant was fresh in the minds

Story of the Cmiture.
Sam Holt, the murderer of Alfred
Cranford, and the assailant of Mrs.
Cranford, was captured at MarshaH
ville, Ga., Saturday night at 9 o’clock
by Messrs. J. B. and J. L. Jones. He
bad been in hiding at the home of his
mother *since the Friday after the
crime.
Wnen found his face was blackened
with spot in an attempt at disguise.
The story of the capture was told by
Mr. J. B. Jones as follows:
I read of the terrible crime and
took particular notice of the descrip¬
tion of the murderer. A few days
after a strange negro came to my plan
tation. He filled the description given
to The Constitution, and my suspi¬
cions wore at once aroused. The negro
worked for me about two years ago,
but under another name, and when he
left he had been indicted by the grand
jury for attempting to assault an old
negro woman in Macon county.
My close observation of Holt seemed
to have aroused his suspicions, and he
left the place. It was several days
before I could again locate him, aud
then I h*d to enlist the aid of another
party. This person was intimate with
Holt and agreed to deliver him into
my hands last night. Holt was en¬
ticed to a certain place, and as he was
passing through a dense grove of
woods my brother and myself sprang
upon him and secured him before be
had time to offer any resistance.

THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE
ADJOURNS SINE DIE.
B.STTLE FOR SENATOR FRUITLESS
tTjjt(6is fcxtfa Session Is Called, State Will
Ilayo But One Senator For Next
Two Years.
A special from Harrisburg, Pa.,
says: The great battle for United
States senator ended Wednesday with¬
out an election and unless Governor
Stone calls an extra session at which
there should be an election, Pennsyl¬
vania will have only one representa¬
tive in the United States senate dur¬
ing the next two years.
After the taking of ballot in joint
convention ft motion was offered by
Mr. Fow, detaoefat, that of Philadelphia, thanks
and adopted, a vote of be
tendered tho officers aud that the con¬
vention adjourn sine die.
The legislature adjourned Thurday
noon. There was no change in the last
day’s voting, the friends of Senator
Quay standing by him and the anti
Quay republicans by B. F. Jones, of
Pittsburg, while the democrats cast
their votes for George A. Jenks, who
had been their candidate since the
deadlock began,
The senatorial Contest began on
January 17th. On that day Senator
Quay received his highest vote, 112
senators and representatives casting
their ballots for him. This was thir¬
teen less than the number necessary
to a choice and he never came nearer
an election during the moi-e than three
months of the struggle. No such bit¬
ter political contest has probably ever
before been waged in this country.
The fight has been distinctly on
Quny and anti-Quay lines, aud both
sides had numerous representatives at
all times keeping a close watch on tho
numbers and on each other.
The seventy-ninth ballot, the last to
be taken for ft United States Senator at
the present session of the legislature,
resulted: Quay, republican, 93; Jenks,
democrat, 85; Jones, republican, 69.

THE SECOND DOLLAR DINNER.

The second of the “one-dollftr”
Bryan dinners, that under the auspi¬
ces of the workingmen, was held Wed¬
nesday night at the Grand Central
palace in New York City.
The dinner was not as largely
attended as the ono given by the Chi¬
cago platform democrats in the same
place on the preceding and Saturday night, being
about 1,000 men women
present. Mr. Bryan his

Wednesday night there was a mighty
demonstration. Men and women made
frantic efforts to shake him by the
bond and it required the services of
several policemen to rescue him and
escort him to ono of the reception
rooms. Ha remained until the crowd
had largely dispersed and then was
driven to the hotel Bartholdi. As he
emerged into the street and got into
his carriage he was greeted again by
cheers, several hundred people waiting
to get a farewell glimpse of him.
The striking difference between the
two dollar dinners was the seating of
the guests of honor Wednesday night
on the platform, where they were
plainly visible to everybody in the
hall. Back of the speakers, painted
on a large canvass, was the following:
“A system of political economy will
yet dawn which will perform as well
as promise; which will rain the riches
of nature into the laps of the starving
poor.”
Colonel William J. Bryan entered
the hall soon after 7 o’clock. He was
received with great applause. Speak¬
ers were seated as follows:
Presiding officer, John Brisben
Walker; Mr. Bryan to bis right, with
N. O. Nelson, of St. Louis; Rev. Dr.
Edward McGlynn, Charles Frederick
Adams and John S. Crosby at Mr.
Bryan’s right. At the chairman’s left
were Mayor Samuel M. Jones, of To¬
ledo; Oliver H. P. Belmont and Wil¬
liam Temple Emmet, great-grandson
of Robert Emmett.:
The toasts and speakers were as fol¬
lows: “Municipal Ownership of Pub¬
lic Franchises,” Mayor S. M. Jones;
“What a Just Economic System Would
Do for Women,” Charlotte Perkins
Stetson; “The Foes Which Beset
Movements in the Interest of People,”
Rev. Edward McGlynn; “Practical
Adjustment of Social Problems,” N.
O. Nelson; “All Government Derives
Its Powers from the Consent of the
Governed,” William Temple Emmett;
“Thomas Jefferson,” William Jen¬
nings Bryan.
The menu was of the simplest. It
was: Vegetable soup, haddock, egg
sauce, roast beef, roast turkey, cran¬
berry sauce; pickles, ice cream, cake
and coffee.
IN JURY’S HANDS.
Proceedings In the Quay Trial Brought
To a Sudden Close.
A Philadelphia special says: Coun¬
sel for Senator Quay announced Thurs¬
day that they would not offer testimony
but would rest its ease on the evidence
offered by the commonwealth.
Judge Biddle said he was not in a
position to discredit the testimony of¬
fered by the commonwealth and would
therefore allow the case to go to the
jury for them to decide.

A Proclamation.
The general assembly of Alabama it
hereby called to meet in extra session
at the capitol for on Tuesday, May 2,
1899, at noon, the following pur¬
poses, oDly: the
1. To consider question of re¬
pealing an act entitled, “An act to
provide for holding a convention to
revise and amend the constitution of
this state, and for the submission of
tho question —convention or no conven¬
tion—to a vote of the electors of the
state,” approved December 16, 1898.
2. To consider and submit amend¬
ments to the constitution of tho state.
3. To consider a primary election
law.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the state to be affixed at the capitol
in the city of Montgomery, on this,
the 20tli day of Johnston, April, 1899.
Jos. S. Governor.
By the governor,
R. P. M’David, Sec. of Stato.
In connection with his proclamation
Calling the general assembly in extra
session the governor gave to the press
a statement to the people, which in
part says:
“To tiik People op Alabama:
“I have determined that it is my
duty to convene the general assembly
in extra session to repeal the con vention
act, submit amendment to the present
constitution, and adopt a primary elec¬
tion law.
“I am satisfied that if the act be not
repealed a bitter campaign will ensue,
the convention bo overwhelmed by a
vote of the people and desirable amend¬
ments postponed for years to come.
“An extra session should not cost
over $10,000; the election alone under
the act, even if fruitless, would cost
over ‘ $$0, OUiPr'Tjift^aeiftiy will eSffie in
any eveht out of the pockets of the
people.
“In my last biennial message to the
general assembly, whilst conceding
that the constitution needed some re¬
vision, I said: ‘Our state is now en¬
joying a political repose most grateful
after years of bitter dissension and
strife, and if possible we sbould wisely
avoid any issue that would cl roy
this condition.' I submitted to the
general assembly ‘whether such re¬
vision as may be necessary could not
be had with more certainty and less
expense, apprehension and discord by
amendment than a general election. ’
■ “The general assembly by narrow
majorities—five in tho senate and ten
in the house—decided to submit to
the electors the question as to whether
or not they desired a constitutional
convention. Whilst this was not in
accord with my views I did not feel at
liberty to withhold- my assent from a
measure that permitted every voter in
the state to decide for himself whether
ho desired a convention to be held or
not. Since then a democratic state
convention has been held and without
the question ever having been submit¬
ted to tho democratic voters, or having
been considered by them, an attempt
was made to' take away from them the
right given by the legislature to de¬
cide for themselves whether they de¬
sired a convention or not, and to bind
them to vote for a convention whether
approved by their judgment and con¬
science or not. This has been fol¬
lowed up by the threat that nominees
of county conventions shall disobey
the wishes of the conventions which
nominated them and deplore for the
constitutional convention- or be driven
to resign.
“Instead of the non-partisan con¬
vention designed by the general assem¬
bly the plan now seems to be to give
us a constitution framed by partisans
seeking only political advantages for
those engineering and directing the
cause.”
FEYEIt STARTS IN HAVANA.
Three Cases of Yellow Jack Develop In
the Cuban Capital.
Three cases of yellow fever devel¬
oped in Havana Thursday. Colonel
Davis isolated the houses and de¬
clined to allow any ingress or egress
except in the case of the physician and
the necessary assistants, who were not
allowed to come in contact with the
public until their clothing had been
changed and fumigated. No Ameri¬
cans are among the sick.
There has been at all times during
the last four or five months some yel¬
low fever—a case or two—and the ex¬
pectation was, of course, that there
would be an outbreak this season.

AT REMARKS MADE BY CAI’TAlN
COGHLAN IN CLUB SPEECHES.
AMBASSADOR CALLS UPON HAY.
Secretary of State Say* It Is a Matter For
the Navy Department to
Straighten Out.
A Washington special says: The
German government has entered a
formal protest against the language
used by Captain Coghlan, of' the
Raleigh, at the Union League Club
banquet at New York last Friday
night, and also his remarks on Satur¬
day night before the Army and Navy
Club,
The protest was lodged with Secre¬
tary Hay through ths German ambas¬
sador, Herr von Holleben.
Secretary Hay replied that the
language appeared to Lave been used
at a dinner in a club and so could not
be regarded as au official or public ut¬
terance in the sense that would war¬
rant tho state department in acting.
However, the navy department was
fully competent to take such action as
the case seemed to require.
With this statement the ambassador
wft3 content, doubtless for the time at least, and
will wait a reasonable length
of time upou the navy department.
There are semi-official intimations
that the ambassador will not so much
concern himself with the course of the
United States in dealing with Coghlan.
The German ambassador stated that
the poem recited by Captain Coghlan
was “too nasty to be noticed.”
Though relieved from accovmtability
to the state department directly by
Secretary Hay’s attitude, the navy de¬
partment, as the secretary has indi¬
cated, must deal with tho case. Cap¬
tain Coghlan cau be called to account
on several charges, presuming that be
has been correctly reported and tjjat
lie admits tho utterances. As in Com¬
modore Meade’s case, if he stands
mute and the newspaper men refuse
to testify, the navy department can
proceed no further.
So far no response has been receiv¬
ed from Captain Coghlan at the navy
department. It is expected that the
officer will proceed with deliberation
in making any statement he may Mean¬ care
to suuinii to the department.
while unpleasant suggestions are aris¬
ing as to tho embarrassments that may
follow the execution of the round of
receptions already planned for the Ra¬
leigh.
The German abassador appeared at
the state department at noon Monday
for the purpose of makingfurthur rep¬
resentations to Secretary Hay touch¬
ing ■ upon the conduct of Captain
Coghlan, so that the utterances of
Captain Coghlan at the Army and
Navy Club as published in Monday
morning’s papers were regarded as an
additional offense.
Secretary Hay has not changed his
position Tn any degree. He deprecated
the lack of tact and the bad taste
shown by Captain Coghlan, and be
did not hesitate to let that be known
to the German ambassador. But he
still held that the case was one that
required treatment by methods of na¬
val discipline only, and with which
the state department could not con¬
cern itself. The German ambassador
will communicate the department’s
views to the foreign office at Berlin.
The officials on both sides realize that
this episode may grow into a very
grave source of discord unless treated
discreetly and coolly.
Our officials are somewhat surprised
at the importance attached to this in¬
cident by the German government. It
is said that our own government has
ignored many utterances of Gernman
officials of sentiments far more inimi¬
cal to tho United States than was the
talk of Captain Coghlan to Germany.
ATTORNEY GENERAL TALKS
Concerning the Holt Lynchincr and Says
Case Has No Federal Aspect.
A Washington dispatch says: Attor¬

eral aspc-t,therefore the govern¬
ment would take no action whatever
in regard to the occurrence.

A dispatch from Raceland, La., says:
Notwithstanding strenuous efforts by
the people of the La Fourche valley,
the levee gave way Monday morning
at 1 o’clock at a point five miles be¬
low Raceland.
The break quickly widened and at
daybreak a disastrous erffittsse was

including hundreds of acres of cane
and corn, and stretching its grasp in
all directions.

A dispatch from Havana says: Gov¬

soldiers, has determined to treat the
Cuban officers as soldiers and gentle¬
men, and not to endeavor to go be¬
hind the rolls they submit. Any Cu¬

fied by his captain will get a share.
General Gomez will also probably re¬
