CRANKS AFTER ATKINSON.
The Fellow Said IIo Had Will Mayers,
the Escaped Murderer.
Atlanta, May 15.—A man who refused
to disclose his Identity strolled into
Governor Atkinson's office this morn
ing apd requested in a haughty kind
of way to see Georgia’s chief execu
tive. It was announced to th<* caller
that the governor was out just at.that
time, but he was asked to remain
awhile or else state his business td Mr.
Callaway, the private secretary. The
visitor stormed about the room snd
claimed to be the victim of Georgia in
solence. He said that he had called
politely on Governor Atkinson to in
form him that he had Will Meyers, the
famous Atlanta murderer, and. that he
proposed to see him in spite of their
objections. He offered to put up the
"stuff” to back his assertion that he
bad Meyers, but said that he would
not agree to do a thing until Governor
Atkinson deposited the money in fho
First National Bank of Charleston, S.
C.» where he claimed his home was.
He also said that he would not touch
a hair in Meyers' head for less than
‘ $1,000 and scorned the paltry reward of
$500 which Secretary Callaway stated
was all the state of Georgia would pay
for the return of Meyers. The man
refused to give hls'name, but stated
that he could produce the proof .that
be had Meyers lofcated In South Caro
lina but would do nothing unless Gov
ernor Atkinson would deposit a thous
and dollars in the Charleston bank.
At last accounts the stranger was
waiting for his thousand, while the
governor was arranging to go off on
6, Ashing trip in south Georgia.
REWARD B FOR ROBBERS.
Gov. Atkinson Offers $200 for the Gang
Operating About Poulan.
Atlanta, May, 15.—Governor Atkin-
bon’s attention was brought officially
to the existence of a band of robbers
who.have been operating in Dougherty
county. It seems that for some time
there have been an organized gang of
outlaws in Dougherty county who have
been plundering the property of the
people in that locality until even life
Itself has become unsafe: The reports
which have been made to the governor
- show that the situation is desperate
and demands attention at once. After
bis examination Governor Atkinson
Issued the following order*. ' *
"Whereas official Information has
been received at tfols department that
In the vicinity of Hardaway, in Dough
erty county, a band of robbers have
been operating andJ upon one of their
raids upoj\ F. F. Putney & Co.'s Btore
Shot and killed BUI Goos, a- porter in
the store, and have so far eluded ar
rest, It Is ordered
"That the secretary of state record
and issue a proclamation offering a
reward of $200 for the arrest and de
livery of said robbers, with evidence
to convict, to the 'sheriff of Dougherty
county.'*
Governor Atkinson has also Issued
an order offering $50 reward for the

PAYING THE DEPOSITORS.
Trust and Banking Company Settling,
Largo Sum Paid Up.
(Atlanta, Qa*. May 15.—The depositors
bf the!Aiblanita Trust and Banking
Company aro being pa/ld as promptly
bs they apply. *
Tho amount the stockholders will re
ceive is variously estimated from a few
cenlt to 50 cents on the dollar. This
KVtil depend upon the success of the
company in collecting its accounts.
Tho largest debtor of the Atlanta*
Trust and Banking Company- is the
TJqultable Mortgage Company of New
fYork. which owes It $48,000. If this sum
could have been collected when It fell'
due. several years ago, the affairs of
Ithe Atlantia Trust might have taken a
ivory different turn.
This debt cam? out of the loan busi
ness whjch was. conducted for the New
.York company by the old Georgia- Sc^'
curlty Company, Which the Atlanta
Trust succeeded. *
, The security company placed a large
amount of money in\farm lands In'this
section, receiving 8 per cent. comm'a-
. aion on the loans. Of this commission
5 per cent was paid and 3 per cent, held
In New York as a guarantee fund.
„ „ A strong effort will be made to collect
this indebtedness, and if successful. K
will largely increase the value of the
(Atlanta Trust stock.
tached to It. As a result of the gov
ernor’s investigation the following or
der was issued by the governor:
“Tho applicant was convicted at the
May term of the Decatur superior
court of the crime of voluntary man
slaughter and sentenced to the peni
tentiary for fifteen years. The record
of the case shows that there was a
peculiarly strong provocation given to
the defendant to use violence of some
'kind, since he was ordered off of Ids
own father's place and, according to a
number of the witnesses, force was
used by the deceased. There are many
mitigating circumstances. It seems
that, things had been made very un
pleasant for Thomas’ sisters and that
eventually they were compelled to move
off the. place. Furthermore, It Is af
firmed that there was ,a considerable
waste of his father’s property.
“The entire jury who hied him and
more than 500 citizens of the county
where the crime jvas committed peti
tion for his pardon. There are so many
mitigating circumstances connected
with the crime and together with the
fact that the Joint committee of the
senate and house, after a thorough in
vestigation, strongly urged that he be
pardoned, I have decided to extend ex
ecutive clemency. Therefore it Is or
dered that the said W. J. Thomas be
and Is hereby pardoned of said crime
and that he be discharged.’’

Havana, May 15.—The decision of. the
government against the exchanging of
bank bills for silver coin has caused a
panic. Prices of br.»ad and milk and
other nofc&ssltLs of life have doubled
within the past few days. The work
ing classes, as well as all government
employes, ‘both civil and military,
openly express their* dissatisfaction
with the action of the government in
paying them' in scrip which is 90 per
cent, below par. It is believed the gov
ernment will no longer accept paper
money in payment of taxes. In that
event a further depreciation of the pa
per money may be expected.
