Ga., in December 1S92, is dead, and
a coroner’s jury has given it as their
verdict that he died by his own hand.

and sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. His case was reviewed by the
supreme court, which affirmed the
sentence. When informed of the re-
suit he immediately' began to arrange

them, lie was found in his cell un¬
conscious, Every effort was made to
save him, and he rallied for a while,
