was under Injunction from tills court
at the time fthe rule nisi was ieauetl
against him, as set out in ithe record of
the petition for rule nisi and attach
ment, and It was judicially brought to
the attentlo'i of the court ‘that Lucius
Wllllanishud avowed that he would nay
no rcsixct to ithe Injunction, acid fur
thermore Ithat he had threatened the
lives of the omiployss of the complain
ant, felled trees across his tramway for
hauling limber, amd done other acts in
plain violation of 'She Injunction. Unon
that, tho count, after consideration 1 t>f
the sworn .petition of Nonmam W. Dodge,
Issued an attachment for the arrest of
Lucius Williams, hut -he also gave him
the apporsunl'ty of a rule nisi to tthow
cause why bo should not he -punished
under the attachment. The attachment
wus Issued -because when ithe injunction
was served upon him he avowed his
purpose at paying no atitontlon wimt-
ever to the action of the count granting
the Injun.-.Ion.
This affidavit, together with the roe-
and tn the case, presents on excoedlntsly
aggravated resistance to the lawful au
thority of thie count nd to -the national
laws. It Is done apparently In accord
with the purpose of certain desperate
and wicked mien to dorwive Norman W.
Dodge, a el'taan of iNew York, of the
bemoflt of the investmen.a he bus mode
In a large boily of pine lands In this
district. Concerning this unlawful and
wicked ipunpose, 'tlie court hiss ibec.il en
raged in heartog and c'eicrmlntng a
arge number of caste, rumilng through
nearly ten years, aud it had boon hoped
by the court, ami by bile community,
that -the conviction and sentence to the
penllian t-lary at same of Ititve principal of-
rendem, whose desperation led thorn to
murder an Innocent and blratmdass man.
urn a»3nlt al 'Mr. Dodge, would have re
sulted Anally in the peaceable and auict
rrapect to the law which oil good citi
zens si ould Observe. That the general
effect' f -that conviction has been good,
there can be no doubt. The reroonis of
thio .motahal. umd at business men trav
eling through nil thalt secttion of the
state In wblUh these lands are sltuatied,
satisfy (llhe count l-hat not only hots the
value bf property Increased. but that
the iproceeacs of all ithe courts are more
respected, and that the tlelgn of vio
lence and of bloodshed amid assassina
tion has In n large measure ceased, and
the court will add. lit does not doubt that
there age a mMllKtude of good people In
tihoso counties who congratulate them
selves upon the good results of the en
forcement of the law generally in this
case, and who deorecalte moat surloulsty
such 'facts as are rracUfkl In to affidavit
tore . What are those facts?
They are that because of tho posi
tive and open refusal to obey the In
junction of the oourt, on tho part of
Lucius Williams and his confederates,
the court was compelled to Issue an
attachment for his arrest, but out of
abundant caution, and a desire -to give
him tho opportunity to exonerate him
self from the sworn charges, In view
of -whlkh the attachment wua issued,
We also Issued tt rule nisi calling upon
him to show cause, if he ootild, in such
maimer ns would dissolve the attach
ment nod release him from custody.
Two officers of the court, deputies of
the marshall, both of them respectable,
resoluto and discreet mon, were sent
by' the marshal to execute the attach
ment and serve the rule nisi. They
acted with all proper discretion and
consideration, under Ihe circumstances.
Not only did Williams violently re
sist them, wflh every exertion of force
possible to him, but refused to receive
the paper and assaulted one of the
officers, and sent out immediately run
ners to his desperate associates In the
neighborhood to assemble and rescue
him from -the custody of tho officers.
He loudly called upon his kinsmen
and confederates to put the deputies
to death. He was rcsciied. Rescued by
a number of desperate men, who are
his relatives and friends. In the lmme-
dftite neigh bortlxsl whera he UveB,
and who accomplished the rescue, 1
i/ho testimony now before the court is
true, and It Is not contradicted In any
manner, by covering Ihe Ms daputire
with loaded euuiB and by tho most
fearful throats to tuke the lives of the
■officers, who iwere thus overpowered,
and I may tidd that for the cool bravery
anU -discretion of the deputies I do not
doubt -that they woul have been stun
ut .that time while engaged In the
careful, considerate and lawful per
formance of their duty.
-These facts tare, of course, a source
of great -regret to tho court, and they
will be the source of regret to every
body who has the good lurao of our
citizenship (n careful regard. But It Is
true that the defendant has not es
caped .the Consequences of mis original
contempt of the court, which -he was
oaZied upon to answer. In tho violation
of its Injunction, toy escaping from the
officers .Ho has been given the oppor
tunity to appear. He. ref used to ac
cept service. He rofusrii to appear.
He Is not flaw personally before Etc
court, tout Ihe court can proceed to
Judgment against him, under the cir
cumstances, precisely ns if he wan
prepent making his defense. It Is
competent for Ihe court to Impose up
on him either fine or Imprisonment or
fine, and If he dots not pay the flura,
imprisonment <a an alternative foi
such failure and refusal to pay. The
■majesty of the law end the respect due
to It cannot be contemned and despised
successfully by a mm merely because
through an unlawful conspiracy he is
enabled to escape from the officers,
or because he refuses to appear, for
the power of the oourt Is ample to pun.
ish him notwithstanding Buea miscon
duct on his part. Seotlon 725 of tho
revised statutes declares: "The said
courts Chilli have power to Impose and
administer all necessary 11.1th*, and to
punditi by fine or imprisonment, tit the
discretion of the court, contempts of
their authority." Power to punish such
contempts extends to case3 of "the
misbehavior of any . pereon In their
presence, or so near thereto as to ob
struct the ndulnls'rut'Mi of Justice,
and the disobedience or resistance ay
eny Thirty, Juror, witness ui other per-
sou to vvny lawful writ, precede, order,
rule, decree or command of the said
courts."
Now, we will not punish Lucius L.
WlllMms at this time for Ws resistance
to the attachment, the order anti Cre
process of the oourt and his escape
front ilhe officers, nut we can punish
liilm for the original contempt cnargvid
against him, on nccount of -which the
a itaobment and rule Issued, after he
htis refused to appear and answer for
that contempt ns the court has coiled
upon hi m to do. lie was called upon to
show cause and he has refused to show
cause, not only refused to slhioiw cause,
but In the most violent urnd desperate
manner toe resisted and repelled the
opportunity which the court giuve him
to cilake a proper Showing. Then tine
court -must proceed to take Buch ac
tion -as will enforce a respect to tho
court and to the Judicial system to
which It belongs, aud to the laws of
the United States. i
H its, therefore, upoTl consideration
of ad the evidence An support of the
ordinal petition uud the return of the
marshal snowing his refusal to appear,
adjudged by tne court that the rain
L'ucius L. Williams do pay a line ot
*2,000, an dlU/it the clur Ko.' this court
toe c.rcclcd to issue an execution
against all ‘tho property, both real and
personal, of Lucius L. Wllltanfe. in
order to enforce the payment ot od*3
flue, and the marrnal is directed to
levy upon slid property and advertise
the same" conformably to taw, and In
case ‘the said line and cost is not 'paid
by the snJd Lucius L. Williams before
the day of sate, to setl before the court
house door of Telfair county a suffi
ciency ot the property at tho said Lu
cius L. Williams to pay said line nnd
costs, and, -moreover, it Is ordered- that
In case said flno and costs shall not
be paid before ithe expiration of thirty
days from 'this date that the warrant
of Uhls court do issue for the arrest
of said Lucius L. Williams for his im
prisonment until said fine is paid, or
until he is otherwise discharged Let
order be -taken accordingly.
THE STORY FROM TELFAIR.
Williams Was Determined Not to Give
Himself Up.
McRae, Doc. 12.—(Special.)— 1 The at
tempted arrest of L. L. Williams of
this county by (three /deputy United
States marshals from Macon on the
9th Inst., created considerable excite
ment in 'this section. Mr. Williams Is a
prominent land speculator, and Is in
controversy withi tho Dodge 1111-ton
Lunioer Company concerning tilth's to
contain ■ 'lands in Telfair county. Tile
Dodgo company llad Williams cnJoLaed
by the Federal court from interfering
with the land In dispute, but It seems
that tlio company made several at
tempts to cut the timber on these
lands, und to build their railroad
through them, and Williams stopped
them by force of arms. He contended
Unit the company lind no right to use
the lands in any way, while the titles
were In- dispute, nnd the right of pos
session pending In the oourts. On ac
count of some act tn conueotiiou with
this case an attachment for contempt
was Issued against Williams by Judge
Speer, uud three deputy marshals wtre
sent Here on the date above stated to
invest him and carry him before the
Judge of tho United States oourt at
Mat-oil.
Williams lives twenty miles from Mc
Rae, near the Ocmulgee river. His
bouse is within a few hundred yards
Of the rivt-r ewatnp. The marsiials
found him at home, and succeeded In
arresting him, but were forced to turn
him loose by a number of Ills friends,
who appeared on the scene. If these
officers had understood the Situation
they would not have approached Will
iams' house by tile pub.it load. Will
iams tas numerous relatives und
irionds in that vicinity who, it is re
ported, are well organized for the pur
pose of protecting him from arrest, for
he says ho knows that Judge Speer is
thoroughly prejudiced against lilm, nnd
wou.:d show him no mercy or fair con
sideration It ho got him betore the
court, and for this reason Williams
says lie will not submit to arrest. The
mareh.1.1s, In going to Williams’ liouso,
It being Sunday, passed a shureh In
the neighborhood, where the people had
gathered for preaching. At soon as the
frlen.la of Williams saw these strang
ers, a number of determined men fol
lowed behind the officers to see that
Williams was not carried off, and they
came on the scene of arrent Just ns the
handcuffs had been placed on Williams’
wrists. When the officers discovered
the rescuers approaching, nrmed with
guns, they asked Williams what It
meant, aud were promptly informed
that they were Ills friends, and that
they would certainly kill the deputies
If attempt was made to carry lilm off.
Williams was released by the mar
shals. who came to McRae some time
during the night and took tho first
train for Macon.
The state of affairs brought about
by UiIb also is gravity deplored by the
good people of this county, and it Is
hoped that the matter can be arranged
without further trouble or excitement,
The whole trouble arises from dls
puted land'titles. The Dodge Company
owns thousands of (lores In this sec
tion, nnd has had 'much trouble for
twenty-five years with the citlzeus, and
numerous land cases have sprung up
la ithe courts. The company mnnaged
to get those casco tranoferred to tho
federal court nt Macon, which line
made them still more unpopular with
tho people. A great many of those In
dispute with the company are people
with limited means, and they say they
are unable to fight their Olsen In the
United State* court, ns It forces them
to go to Macon and employ expensive
counsel, which they are not financially
able to star,d. They claim that they
have always been willing to have these
controversies settled by the state
counts in the counties where the land
In dispute lies, nnd wore anxious to
have them settled without undue ex-
cltemt.it or discord. It Is feared much
trouble will be brought upon this sec
tion nnd retard its development.

most Important murder .trial is Beetled.
TiV.s cose has been on tho docket for
nearly eight years, and only ono time

when Judge Ivibbee, now of Macon,

two or three men were disputing near

serious 'trouble would nr se If tho row
