TITE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 18,1884.
FIVE PISTOL SHOTS.
A SAD SUICIDE.
O».o of the Mott Remarkable Murdere
Known In the History of Macon—
The Prisoner's Statement-
Coroner's Inquest, Etc.
Last night, about 8 o'clock, the report
was circulated through Macon that Mr.
Wo. Landsberg, junior member of the
firm of M. Nussbaum <fc Co., wholesale dry
goods dealers, nad been shot and killed by
J. K. B. panfortb, the eutry clerk of the
house.
Our reporter hurried to the atore of
Nussbaum & Co., comer of Cherry and
Third streets, and found quite a crowd of
men, many of them endeavoring to peep
through the windows of the counting
room, into which the dead man had
been taken, There was not one among
the many congregated around th* build
ing notone could be found who knew any
thing of the ahooting. The report had
gotten out in some mysterious way that
five shots had been fired, but no one ven
tured any cause for the shooting, or how
it od^rred. All that was known was that
officer Dan Thomas was called by two
men to take charge of Mr. Danfortb. and
that the officer took him to the barracks.
On going to the barracks our reporter
held a conversation with Mr. Dunforth
through the bars of the dungeon in
which he -had been placed. At first he
refused to make any statement, saying
that the facts would be brought out by
others, and he did not feel inclined to say
anything on the subject. He was very
apprehensive of being taken out by the
friends of the dead man, and the first
thing he said was to ask if the people were
much excited over the affair. When told
that there was no undue excitement, and
that the coroner would soon hold hii in
quest. he asked quickly with a tremor iu
bis voice: “Is he dead ?”
After wmis hesitation he said: “If you
promise to state this exactly as I tell you,
I’ll tell the story, though it is somewhat of
a long one.”
On being promised, he continued: “I
was keeping books for Gus Nussbautu
when he sold out in 1882. 1 had the choice
of staying with Doody or going with Nuss-
bautu. Mr. Landsberg wanted me as en
try clerk, but I did not think I could fill

the body, which proved to be that of Capt.
George J. Lunsford, well known in Macon
former conductor on the Southwestern
railroad.
He was fouud by a negro named
Scip Collins, who passed the cemetery
a few minutes before 6 o’clock. Help says
he saw what lie supposed to l»e a man
drunk or asleep in the corner of the old
cemetery next to the compress, and as he
ed* so still he ip.iroached and
seeing no signs of awaking, he halloed
to him. There was no response, and 8Wp
went nearer and found the man dead. He
then informed Messrs. Walter Johnston
and O. P.Willingham, of the Dixie Works,
and these gentlemen went to the spot and
1 licked up a letter which in the hut of the
lead man. This letter was addressed
TO THE roROXKB,
and was written in a small hand on both
sides of one sheet of common note pa|>er.
The writing betrayed no nervousness in
the hand of the writer. It read as follows:
“Macon, April 15.
"Ah. death, the poor man’s sweet friend—
with thee.
The great, the wealthy fear thy blows—
i pomp and pleasure turn:
itfon, never having done anything
but bookkeeping and 1 declined the place.
This was in February. In March 1 filial
ly accepted the place, they, Nusabuam
& Co., agreeing to keep me eighteen
months whether I pleased them or not
I went there and received fifty dollaft |»er
month. Afterwards my wages were
raised to sixty-five dollars, and when
Landsberg found out 1 was
getting that much he said it
was wrong, and that 1 must pay back all
over I received. I refuted and this
caused him to dislike me and uiuke it very
disagreeable.
“List summer, when Mr. Nussbaum and
Mr. Landsberg were in New York, I wrote
to them asking for an increase of salary to
$1,000 a year. Mr. Nussbaum sent Lands-
berg home to arruugo the salaries for the
year. In the wholesale department July
Is the year iu which clerks ure hired and
salaries fixed. In the retail department
September is the month. Well, Lands
berg catue back from New York, and he
with Mr. Fned of the firm arranged the
salaries. 1 saw the slip handed to
the bookkeeper, and so did Mr. Tom Rog
ers. In Mr. Fried's own handwriting and
written with an indelible pencil, was my
salary fixed at $1000, and I received my
salary at those figures regularly. Lands
berg made it very disagreeable for me all
aloug, but 1 made up my mind to do every
thing he asked me, no matter how unrea
sonable it was, and 1 did so uncomplain
ingly. But at last he became so overbear
ing that the clerks noticed if, and I became
frightened lest I slum Id lose my job. I had
a mother and sister to support, and I was
anxious about it. 1 went to Mr. Nuss
baum and asked him if I was
giving satisfaction. He told rae as long as
1 attended to my business I was all i
This satisfied me and 1 continued on
terday morning Mr. Nussbaum and Lands,
berg were in the office and both spoke to
me about the salary. They said I bad
taken a in an advantage of them, and that
1 must receive sixty-five dollars and pay
back the difference of a thousand dollars
ayear. lbey said a great deal to me
which waa very harsh and unjust. This
worried me all day and 1 made up my
mind what to do. I thought this way about
it: I could not support my nu» her and sis.
ter on such a salary, and if I quitJLandsberg
and Nussbaum would ruin my rep.tation
so 1 could not get any other place, so 1
thought 1 would kill Landsberg Af>er
aupper I went to the store. He got three a
little ahead of me. I had no key. and he
let tne in. There waa no on - about hut
he and myself. After going in 1 went to the
closet and then returned and fired five
times. All the shots were fired in the
office. Neither one of us spoke s word.
Alter 1 fired the last shot he walked out
the side door of tfia office to
the sidewalk and fell. 1 came
out after him and threw my pistol
r on the ground, and going up to two men
told them to take me to the barracks.
They were not policemen, but just then a
crowd came running up and with them an
officer, who brought me here. If the law
wants to execute me for It Ido not care.
1 want the public to know that 1 had a
provocation for what 1 did. I was so
wrought up that 1 hardly knew what to
do and what 1 did I was forfeit to."
The prisoner Is 21 years of age, and a
a son of the late Oliver Danforth of Ma
con. He is kn »wn as Rhodes’ by his
friends and bore the reputation
of being one of the most quiet young
men, and news of his work lost night
proves a shock to all who knew him.
About half past eight o'clock he was
taken in a hack by Lieutenant Wylie and
and officer Golden and lodged in jail.

Tioevox. M •*•., April in.—The Arkwright
Club to-day disclosed t!»e present condi
tion of the cotton market, and it was
argued that a reduction in the production
of cotton goods is necessary. This was
voted aa the sense of the manufacturers
present. It waa also voted to re
duce the working hours ten per
cent during May and June,
provided all the mills agree to thepropo
si lion. This a equivalent to a reaucUol
of one sixth of the production
of cotton goods. The president of the
club waa authorized to obtain an ngrte
meat from all the mills, and from the una
nimity of opinion shown to-day there is
good reasons to Iwlieve that
the proposed reduction will be made.

WHEN LAST SEEN ALIVE.
Capt. Lunstord came to Macon about a
week ago, so the registers of the Edgerton
and National Hotels show. He hau been
living in Atlanta for some time, but re
cently made a trip to Florida, anu it was
on his return from that State when he
stopped in Macon. Our reporter endeav
ored to find some one who had seen him
Tuesday, that being the dav on which
he laid down to sleep for the last time,
but was unable to trace him further in the
day than 1 o'clock. He was seen
on the morning of that day near the court
house, talking to Kiel Spark**,
tlie court house janitor. Hv was
afterward seen by Mr. J. B. Williams And
Mr. Wylie Jones of the National Hotel, in
front of the Kennesaw restaurant, about 1
o’clock, talking to Mr. Joe Beasly, The
two shortly afterward separated, and it
was supposed he went down to the old
cemetery and swallowed the morphine.
WHO HE WAS.
Mr. Lunsford was probably the oldest
printer in the State. He worked on the
1‘atriot and Statesman in Milledgeville in
1825, and on the Macon Telloeapii at its
foundation in November. 1820, and after
wards on the Georoia Messenger. He
was for ten or twelve year* a conductor on
the Southwestern railroad. Many years
ago he was married to Miss Matthews, of
Macon, who died several years ago, we are
informed, in Tennessee. He was an unu
sually healthy man, of robust constitu
tion, and had more than ordinary intelli
gence.
For several years after the war he was
not engaged in any rraular empoyiuent.
About three years ago he went to Carters-
ville. and was employed in one of the old
printing offices jihero. He assaulted a
printer, threatens his life, for which he
was confined in jail and sent to the asylum
for lunacy a abort t me. tiinfe then he
went to Tennessee, where he had two
married daughters. About the close of
last week he returned to Macon and lodged
at the Edgerton Hotel, saying that he had
no money, but had secured employment
in a printing office at fimithville. and
would go tint her in a few days. Hu was
kindly treated hv the proprietor of the hotel
Hu lett tne Kdgerton and reported at
the Nationnl, relating the same story lie
told at the Kdgerton. He was very kindly
treated by Mr. Jonas, the proprietor. Hu
valise is at this hotel.
He woh about 75 years old. but of so vig
orous a constitution and active mind that
he did not appear to be over 00 years old.
He lias one daughter in Macon, the wife
of Prof. Willie Cheatham, the blind piano
tuner.
