THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY DECEMBER 15, 1885.--TWELVE PAGES.
AQUEERCASE
In Which a Detective Agency Figure! Some-
wliet Conspicuously.
Haddock's Station, in Jones county, lies
thirteen miles east of Macon, on the Geor
gia railroad. It possesses a water tank and
three or four stores. Among the honest
tillers of the soil in the settlement around
is Mr. E. P. Berry. Up to a few months
ago Sir. Berry was contented with the life
of a farmer, and bis only ambition was to
broaden his ucre3 and gaze upon a lowing
herd of his own Jerseys.
But some time in the early part of last
September there dropped down into Hud-
dock's a man who gave his name
as George Washington Nelson, lie was a
poor man, Inlaid, and wanted work for
himself anil the w ife who accompanied him.
Mr. Berry needed a farm hand, and in a
short while Nelson and his wife were duly
domiciled on the farm. Nelson proved to
be a hard, industrious worker, and Mr.
Berry was pleased.
Daring the long evenings after the horses
wero fed and the chickens had gone to roost,
Nelson and his employer sat by the wide
mouthed fireplace and talked long and
quietly.
Nelson told Berry that be was the chief
detective for this section of the American
and European Secret Service Company, head
quarters at Cincinnati, and that the com
pany was the strongest organization on ma ,
earth. By its agency Cleveland was elected
President, and during the election over
three thousand members of tlio force were
at work for him. Many other fabu
lous stories were told of the company’s
power. Then Nelson drew vivid pic
tures of detective life, how criminals
were tracked over the world and finally
trapped, and how exciting was tho chase.
Berry was charmed. Here was "Old Sleuth"
right at his door, and before long Nelson
had Berry completely dazed. He wrote to
tho A. A E. S. S. Co. for particulars and re
ceived the information that if he would
send $5 as a fee for the commission they
would send him his commission and badge.
The $5 dollars was sent and in due course
of time the company was beard from. A
commission, filling up a good sized sheet
of heavy paper and ornamented with a seal
of gold,told that E. 1’. Berry was a member
of the force and would be recognized as
such the world over, etc. The absence of
any location or name except Berry'B on
this document was painfully conspicuous.
Accompanying the commission was a small
badge with the words, “Detective Associa
tion" engraved thereon, and a slip of paper
on which was printed rewards for
noted absconding bank cashiers and
defaulting bookkeepers, murderers, etc.,
and for whom fabulous rewinds were offered.
In a letter printed in blue ink so as to re
semble writing was some confidential talk,
and a request that a “quorum” of six men
in the neighborhood bo organized, each man
paying a fee of fivo dollars. If Berry would
get up the quorum he would be miul i chief
at a salary of $1,500 a year, and on office
would be established at Haddock’s.
Berry and Nelson went to work to organ
ize a quorum. They selected a house for
tho otfice and otherwise prepared for the
establishment of a detective agency. They
selected W. E. Berry, II. IE Patterson and
J. W. Hardin, all young farmers, and E. L.
Ellison who lives in Macon. Nelson con
ducted the correspondence. Last week
Patterson and Hardin gave him their fees.
Later on W. E. Berry gave him five dollars
to send on. It was handed to
him in silver and he had it converted into
• bill at Uiddlebrook's store. Then he
took a witness and dropped the letter into
the post-office. This was on Monday oven
ing.
OnTncsilay morning, before Berry got
up, Nelson left the farm. He told his wife
he was coming to Macon to have some
printing done, but she must tell Berry that
lie had gone to Bcottsboro on important
business.
Nothing was heard of Nelson, and Berry
grew suspicious. Yesterday morning a let
ter arrived at Haddock's addressed to G.W.
Nelson. It was from Cincinnati, and ac
cording to an agreement by which Berry
could open letters from the agency ad
dressed to Nelson, ho opened the letter and
found eudosed tho letter sent off
on Monday evening. It had been
S ened - and across the face of
e envelopo was written “opened
in the presence of two witnesses. Please
return.'’ On adetter-heading of the A. A
E, s. 8. Company wua written the informs-
Vtion that the letter did not contain the $5,
as stated. TkiB was signed by "H. U.
Kimball, manager.''
Acting upon this, Mr. Berry concluded to
-come to Macon and look up Nelson and
demand on explanation. Nelson's wife
concluded to come also, and both
arrived here last night, the womau
going to her sisters, Mrs. Parka,
who worka in the factory, and Berry going
on a thorough search through the city for
his man.
Mr. Berry says he will use the wire free
ly to-day. He has an idea that the letter
mailed at Haddock's on Monday evening
never reached Cincinnati, and he will un
ravel tiie mystery if possible, lie has the
police on the lookout for Nelson.
It is not likely that Haddock's Will not
contain a detective agency for some time to
come.

Yesterday morning an inquest was held
on Prather s body, and a verdict was found
in accordance with the facta here detailed.
Prather's relatives wero notified of his
death.

The Covington and Macon#
The president, surveyor sad contractor of the
Covington and Macon railroad spent yesterday ex
amining the different routes into tho city. The
route along the old track of tho Georgia railroad is
the favorite, but circumstance* may cause the se
lection of another. A proposition has been made
by certain citizen* looking to the seloctiou of a
route which will bring tho road across the river at
the foot of Hecond street. If thla proposition is ac
cepted, the depots will be located on this side of
the river aud the shops on the other. In the latter
event. East Macon will be greatly benefited.
Yesterday morning another large crowd of ne-
groer assembled about Hollis k Corbett’s office for
the purpose of securing work on the new road. They
were told that several weeks would be required to
perfect the preliminary arrangements, after which
employment would bo given to them all. Mr.
Machen stated that he would want all tho workmen
that could be obtained. It being his purpose to push
the road to completion as speedily as possible.
In regard to tbe building of a line to Florida, Mr.
Machen said that he had no doubt but that bis syn
dicate would undertake to build it. under certain
conditions. Tbe principal condition wonld be the
taking of $900,100 stock in the enterprise by the
people living ou the line. For the present, how
ever, Mr. Machen declared that the only object
which be had in view was the early completion of
the Covington and Macon.
Mr. Machen is quite a young man, but he appears
to be thoroughly acquainted with the business
which he has in hand.

The New ItallrovU.
Col. L. F. Livingston, Col. B. W. Fro boll and Mr.
E. C. Marhin, arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing. A Txlkorai h reporter interviewed them, and
obtained the following information concerning
the building of tho Covington and Macon railroad:
The work will be commenced as soon as the pre
liminaries can be arranged. A locating survey of
the road must be made, and tho route into tho city
must be determined upon. The mayor and city
couucil oxamiuod into tho latter matter yesterday
afternoon. Tticy did not rnako known th* result of
their examination, but will probably do so to-duy.
There are twenty-seven applicant* for contracts
to do tho excavating upon the road. Of this numj
her, seven desire tlio contract for the entire WOtk.
Mr. Mscbln has not yet determined what|he will
do regarding thla matter, but it is understood he
will give the preference to those contractors who
have token stock in the road.
It to thought that all the preliminaries can be ar
ranged so that the work of building tlio road may
be commenced not later than the 1st of January.
Mr. Mschiu said to the reporter that he had come
to Macon to faithfully execute all the promises and
contracts made by Col. Idvingstou. He also said
that In the construction of the road none but the
best material would be used, and that when com
pleted, it wonld be the nnest road as to road-bed,
rails and general eqnipments, in tbe Houtb. Mr.
Mao-kin proposes to make Macon his home.
CoL Fro bell will leave on the locating survey this
morning.

A Marshal on a Tear.
Yesterday afternoon a deputy United States mar
shal arrived in Macon, having a prisoner in custody.
He went to Brown’s Hotel and sought accommoda
tions. but was refused them for a very good
reason.
He was hilariously drunk.
Finding that he could not obtain a room, be told
tbe night clerk that he was ready to be treated. The
clerk declined to take tbe gentle bint, and the mar
shal and his prisoner drifted down to th» Edgerton
House. There be bad better luck, lie registered
bis name, and told tbs clerk that be wanted a room
for himself and bU prisoner. Being told that be
could get it. be took hi* prisoner’s arm and stag
gered out to see tbs elephant.
A TrxaoKarH reporter Inspected the register, and
attempted to decipher the drunken marshal's name.
It to "Rufus Cruse,” ••Rufus Curse,” or "Rufus
Crusoe.” His place of residence was inscribed
"Covington, Ga.” Tbe name, like its owner, was
too drunk to apeak plainly.
This marshal whatever bis name be, to a disgrace
to tbs government and ought to be dismissed. His
prisoner bad ample opportunity to escape, and. per-
nape, did so before day light.
