That’s what Larry Gantt has to tay
about the deficit in the treasury of the

Danforth and Lizzie Danforth, or Liz

ogether for three or four years, Thej
had during that time frequent quarrel

Bussey, whom the murderer .mid waecon

he was away. On Saturday evening,
June 27, the two wore out for a walk to
Harrisburg, and when coming back they
met Dustey. Bussey epoke to the woman,
whereupon she left Dsoforth and ox*

she returned to him Danforth remon

When they were going to bed the quar*
ret was renewed and in the struggle
which followed the woman fell to the
floor. While on the floor the man grabbed
a razor lying on the table and cut her
throat. Then he took the body and threw
it in the river near-by.
The murderer did not try to eecape im
mediately, but two davs afterward, when
thwbodv was found, lie left tha city. He
was subsequently captured and lodged in
jail,
THE THIRD WOMAN KILLED.
Danforth’* victim was the third col
ored woman who had been killed In this
city in as many years >>y having her
throat cut, and there was a grand swell
of popular indignation, particularly
anion; the colored people, over the affair
and it was recognized that something
must be done to check butchery by jeal
ous men.
HE CHEATED THE (1ALLOW8.
In the former instances one man
cheated the ^allows and the other was
sent to tjte pen. The Danforth case was
acted on promptly end within two and a
half weeks from the lime the crime was
committed the trial was over and the
jorv had rendered a verdict. Danforlh
nt first denied Ids guilt, but afterwards
madea full confession, which was reaJ
at the trial.
Tha pr:son*r was married several
vests ego in Harrisburg, this state, end
hie wife left him the first week of their
married life.
He had been depressed in spirits eince
his con*ittion, looking that stolid indif
ference common to negro criminals, and
seemed to realixe the terrors of hie
of it.
“Bow about the preferred stock?”
“That was regularly issued at • meet
ing of stockholders. Something had to
be done. 1 told them I was willing to be
Aiseesed, but the others preferred issuing
this stock.”
“But one of the etockholdera stated
hare yesterday that he knew nothing
•bom it,”
“1 noticed that jnst now in the Tele-
graph, and the statement does us an in
justice,”
Mr. Gantt was given the name of the
stockholder who is authority for the
statement.
“Thera was a prejudice in that,” said
Mr. Gantt. -That stockholder was sent
a notice just like that rent to the other
stockholders, and if he didn't attend the
toettiag U wsa bis own fault That no
tice stated specifically that the object of
the meeting was to issue preferred etock,
so that it ie not true that the stock wu
{•suad without due notice to everybody
interested.”
Then Mr. Gantt had something to say
si ouc the inference in the article in the
Telaouapii that the deficit might b.-
charged to thu salaries drawn by the
Brown and Gantt families.
"My salary was only $1,800*” said he,
"end for a mun of my experience that
*as little enough. I left a place that
was paying me $8,000 or $4.00i$ to accept

In the early Grecian theatres no admis
sion was demanded of persons attending
theatrical performances Tbe tlisatre
waa built at public expenre, and con*e-
quentlv every one was entitled to fiee
admittance. As a natural consequence
suoh a multitude visited it that often
renous quarrel* arcs# in the rush for
•cats and many persona were injured.
This led to the pas are of a law fixing
tho sdinhaion fee at one drachm (about
nineteen cents) per person. Of course,
there were thousands of the poorer clans
who were unable to pay thie amount,
and were thus debarred from indulging
in their favorite amure*ien%
It was not long before the obnoxious
law was repeated and tbe fee reduced to
two oboli (lour cental In addition to
this it waa enaoed that thi# amount
be furnished to every applicant from the
public funds So great was th* drmaod
that in the course of time thie fund was
exhausted, nmi the military tax, really
intended to support the army, was
called into requidtioo, and lavishly
•pent in this manner. Conservative men
protested against such n method of
draining tbe tteasurv, but ao intent were
th# people in upholding the eo-ctiled
persons! liberty that a decree was made
to tbe effect that any on* offering any
objection to the methods pursued should
etitfer death. The famous De most ben vs
raised his voice against this foolish
policy, but was »oon convinced that
bulIi a task wae both hopeless and un
popular.
There were three or four performance*

BART HENDLEY BADLY SHOT IN BIRD
CAGE ALLE V
Saloon Keeper Christian Fills Ills
Head Full of Bird shot In Self-
De/ansa—One Fra and Face
Terribly Rianeted*
Fiom Aauiy ralorrspti. Septa
Yeaurday afternoon at snout 4 o'clock
a tragedy occurred at the “Bird f >ge.” *
saloon which may have n amiucL Mr.
Robert Christian, the proprietor, shot
and severely wounded a wbit# man
named Bart Henley.
The weapon used wae a dotihle-osr-
rrlJed shotgun loaded with bird abut, and
which was fired at ehort raiigo. The
load muck Henley in 'Ii# (an*, tearing
out bis left eye and Inflicting other more
or iese serious wound*.
didn’t want him IN TI1KRK.
The account gi*utt by ere wfmea*** ot
th* difficulty ie that Henloy hud*, topped
Into Christian's bar to take a drink, and
when he called for is Christian, who was
present, put hie band on Henley's shoul
der and void: “Bart, I would rather
you’d not drink in my bar.”
At this. It ie claimed, Henley cursed
Christian, an 1, putting hia hand to hie
hip pocket, stepped behind the door ap
parently with the intention of secluding
blroeeJf while he shot.
The bartender seeing the pistol half
drawn, handed Christian » double l
relied gun that stood behind the counter.
One barrell of the gun contained buck
shot and the other Na fi or 8 bird sl.ot.
The next moment Ileniey pat bis /ace
out from hfhinA the door sod Christ i-m
tired the full load of bird abot, striking
ami grazing tbe left aide of hie oppo
nent’s face, completely blinding tne left
eye and tearing away the flesh until (he
aide of the face and neck waa raw.
Henly threw hie band to hie faee and
with a groan staggered againat tire wall
He w*i caught by bystanders and
wh*b the officer* arrived waa turned
over to them and carried to the city ball,
where Ur. Fergus ;n attended him.
Rr thie lime ilia face and bead were
badly awolleo mid th* wound round to be
a dangerous one. It is not unlikely that
flenhqr will die, eoveral of the ahot hav
ing entered tbe thro*! « the region of
the carotid artery.
CHKmtAN IS JAILED.
Christian surrendered to the officers at
once aud was carried to tho police station
where he was detained until 1st* in the
afternoon and than rent to jail, on a
warrant sworn oat before Judge Foe.
Christian claimed that he shot in self
defense, ae h* wae satisfied that it wae
Henley's Intention to kill him.
It aerio* that the two men h*vo bren
unfriendly for several months post, which
wae due, it ie said, to Christian having
retained the amount of on account against
Hanley from a sum of money left on de
posit at Christian's place.
Henley resented this and, it ie stated,
•wore he would kill Christian.
Wednesday afternoon • difficulty oc
curred between the two men at Obrie-
tian’a plac \ in which, it ii said, Heniey
drew a pistol, tut was prevailed upon to
put It up. A short time before ibis ho
told several parties that he wae going
down and aura# Christian out.
After the difficulty of Wednesday
Christian becan.e tearful that the man
had designs on hia life, and accordingly
sent home for bis gun, witb which to
protect himself.
It is sahl Henley ill remained angered
and yesterday afternoon, a short while
before the eh»oung, pull'd from hie
pocket a handfulof csreridgee.and show
ing ii*«in to a driver forth*
brewery, said he intended to “fix” Chris
tian.
The drivel" warned ' him to look out,
saying that Christian would not aland
loo much fooliehnee*.
It was not loug after this took place
that he walked into tbe bar and wot
•topped by Cbristiau and the shooting
took place.
At a late hour last nignt Henley wa*
resting quietly, but bis wounds Are of
such a nature •• to make it inqiouible to
determine th* exact state of hie condi
tion.
WHO IIKNLKY 1%
Neither Christian n« r hie friends seem
to regret the shooting anil •>*/ that It
meant either life or deetli tor Chris
tian.
They eay Henley will oboot aa quick at
any man living. All of them say that
h'f threats meant business, and they
were not surprised to see such a ter min
ion.
Henley has been living In Macon
•lout six months, Iiaving come her#
from llawkineviibv Jt ie eald he lias
b< eu engaged in no huzineas, but waeono
of the regular gamblers ol treat part of
the city.
THAT STRKKT CAR SHOOTINO.
Since the etrrot mr wsa fired into in
South Macon on tart .sm.urdajr nLdc
CbrMian'a fri ids hare been wtibperiug
It about that It was Christian who waa
aliot aL He was nn the car at tbe time
and tw>* of the i*a!?i enter# 1 the car, one
just back of hie b#ad and another about
three inches to th* side.
There was no evidence of this, but
such hae been a suspicion, and eince the
threats of Henlev and the tragedy <-f
yesterday, some do not heeitale to con
nect Henley's name with the street car
affair, though bis friends deny this most
emphatically and e.»y lie was not in that
vicinity at the tiiue or on that day.
