'Atlanta, Jan. 7.—(Special.)—'Harry
HIU, who la juat completing his first
year of hi» dive years sentence, at the
Ore as penitentiary camp, wlT.l have to
serve the remainder of his term out,
unless there le a providential dispensa
tion in hla behalf.
Governor Atkinson disposed of the
case in short order this afternoon.
He hud evidently decided to hla own
mind that the festive Harry waa
not entitled to executive clemency on
the merits of the record In the case,
and when his attorneys at the hearing
today thcmaelvea acknowledged! this
by resting entirely upon the handsome
convict’s health. It waa only a ques-
tiln of ascertaining the condition of
Hill’s health.
The petition for Hill's pardon was
singned by a lot of well-known people
whose friendship he once claimed, ns
tvell as some lSOmeimbera of the last
house of repiecc(.>uGve* and thirty-two
out of the forty-four senator*. But
(these petitions cut no figure In the
case. It was simply a question of
heevth, (and Hill's attorneys compHetely
failed to sustain the plea that he ta
going into rapid dedne.
Messrs. B. H. Hill and T. W.
Tuoker. who defended HIU, plo:*j led with
tho governor for over an hour. The
prosecution was represented toy no one
in (person, 'out tvanavr r-oriur, the
name of whore wire Hlill forged, sub
mitted si long letter protesting against
a pardon.
J. R. Tolleson, the little banker who
hunted Hill down after his flight, be
ing, as he himself said, hts "nemesis,"
was present at the hearing, but had
nothing to say, although blttorfy op
posed to the pardon.
• Tlfo evidence upon which It was
sought to prove Hill's bad health was
a letter from Dr. Powell, tlio camp
physician, and a certificate from Dr.
Jernegan of Atlanta, who went fiown to
Kearmer to see Harry ut the Instance
of his frlsnds. Dr. Jernegan enld he
had fallen away forty pounds In eleven
months and he didn’t believe he would
Bvs his term out. Kidney trouble and
Incipient consumption were named as
his ailments, as well aa mental trouble.
Banker Porter's letter waa a very
tart document.
Aft.-r a brief review of the case he
said Hurry had be.m a "parlor board
er” In Futlou county Jail, and that hie
situation In the penitentiary cainph-is
not been any more onerous. The
banker says he regards his punishment
and the manner of the execution of the
punishment a« doubtful compliance
wl'cii the punlrhment oil Imprisonment
at hard labor., but he leave* tha: tr> the
ceukictences of the official*.
Mr. I’c-rter said Hill's attorney* now
admitted hit’ guilt and the genuine
ness of the written confession that
played such a oonsplcbous part In tin.
triad, which It wus sought ta be *"t
aside as a forgery committed by Dw
yer Echols of the prosecution. This
being so, the banker says Hill's state
ment to th>- Jury was a base falsehood,
and the Jury knew it.
The public, he says, consider* Hur
ry’s punishment extremely light,
though he does not know now far his
pereonnl feeling* influence hi* own
Judgment.
Banker Porter reminded the governor
that It is <«sy .to get signers to a peti
tion when tho party has wealthy und
Influential relative* at work, and also
said that It wtut even easy to get honest
dociors to give certificate* of III h-alth
when It was their inter «t to do so.
There* oaroe doctors could easily give
similar certificates to every one In the
penitentiary If prompted by the same
desires, and further Mr. Porler de
clare* tha't there la no law exempting
Invalid criminals from punishment.
