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. Peace In the kitchen means Joy al) over the houee.
