last Thursday and Friday, and re
turned a true bill against 8 ne
groes: Ed. Johnson, Jim Butts,
Mann Hall, Glen Lawson, Mose
Gibson, Alfred McGehee, Iskam
McGehee and Hector Stubbs.
When the case was called, Jndge
Miller appointed Hon. H. _A.
Matthews and Judge A. S. Giles
to defend Ed. Johnson, and Hons,
fi. N. Holtzclaw and A. C. Riley
to defend Jim Butts. The other
prisoners had employed as counsel
Messrs. W. C. Winslow, E. L.
Felder and A. S. Giles.
Ed Johnson was formally ar
raigned.
The indictment as read
lengthy, containing six counts,
charging each - of the prisoners
with murder, so worded as to guard
against any escape by means of any
technical defect in the indictment
When asked, “are you guitly, or
not guilty,” Ed John son answered:
“I don’t knew anything about
it”,
Through counsel, the other
prisoners waived formal indicia
ment.
Counsel having decided to sever,
the effort to secure a jury to try
Eel Johnson was at once begun.
The first panel of 24 was called.
Out of the first twelve 1 juror was
accepted, 3 disqualified -foy cause,
and the prisoner objected to six.
Of the next twelve, No. 6 was ac
cepted as a juror, 4 went off for
cause, and the. prisoner objected
to.seve i. Out of the next panel of
24, nine more jurors' were accept
ed, and 7 were objected to by the
prisoner. The prosecution used
their privilege to strike one time.
The 49th man called was accept
ed, and the jury to try the- case
was made up, as follows:
I J F Scarborough 2 F W-Hardy
3 Win Joiner 4 E W Leaptrot
5 W D Pierce ; 6 AF Barfield
7 T J Fagan 8 J F Logan
9 J A Smith 10 S T Hurst
II C F Gatlin 12 R J Smith.
The sun had set when the last
juror was secured, and when Judge
Miller had given the bailiff in
charge instructions concerning
the jurors, and requested Sheriff
Cooper' to secure quarters for
them,.court adjourned to Tuesday
morning..
Solicitor W. H. Felton repre-
serts the stsite, aDd Col. C. C.
Duncan is special counsel for the
prosecutor.
The examination of witnesses
was commenced at -8:30 o-’clock
Tuesday morning, an.d this work
was concluded at about ■ 3 o’clock
p. m.
Each of the^attorneys spoke,^and
the last speech was concluded at'
about 4 o’clock.
Judge Miller then delivered his
.charge—his maiden charge as Su
perior court judge—The charge
was clear and distinct in every
particular, leaving no chance for
the jurors to misconstrue the law,
or the application of the testimony
in the case. He was deliberate,
and occupied about twenty min
utes in giving the case to the jury.
The evidence was circumstan
tial, but:, exceptionally strong
against the prisoner, the chain of
circumstances being complete.
About the strongest point of ev
idence against Ed. Johnson was
that of Mr. Okarlton Johnson. He
it was who arrested Edk Johnson
in Macon.. Upon approaching the
prisoner afterwards in Bibb connty
•jail, Ed cursed him, and declared
that had he (Ed) known that it was
the purpose of the captor to arrest
him for the murder of Capt. Miller
he would have shot him through.
Mr. Johnson replied, “Why, Ed.,
you will make me believe directly
that you did kill Mr. Miller, down
in Houston.”- “Ido not deny kill:
ing old man Miller,” said Ed., .“and
if I had a chance, Td kill you, too. :
This was substantiated by other
circumstances. It was proven that
Johnson had conspired with others
to commit he robbery; that he was
at Tom Hall's house Saturday after
noon before the killing, and that lie
hadrno money at that time; that he
left there late that afternoon, going
toward Capt. Miller’s, and that he
returned to Hall s about midnight:
that he had a large lot of silver
money Sunday morning after the
murder, and that he left that neigh
borhood early Sunday morning,
and never returned. There was
also other testimony connectin
him with' the crime.
The jury remained out not moie
then ten miniites, ;?hen the follow
ing verdict wus returned:
“We, the jury, find the defendant,
Ed. Johnson, guilty. Signed, W.
D. Pierce, Foreman.”
work of securing a jury was begun
at once. Forty-eight men were
put on their voire dire, and from
that number the trial jury was se
cured, as follows:
A -T Garvin. Hardy Powell,
J G Leverett, DM Thompson,
S D Gun-, Wm Harper,
ERagin, T D Guvr,
J H Davis, ' R E Bnniam,
Jere Thompson, B J Harrison.
In securing this jury the defense
objected to twenty men placed upon
tbe prisoner, while the prosecution
did not strike at all. The taking
of testimony began at about ten
o’clock, and the case will probably
be concluded to-day. It is known
that the evidence is equally as
strong against him as against John
son, and all believe that his convic
tion issnre. The substance of the
testimony against him will be pub
lished in onr next issue. -
We understand that four of the
prisoners will be tried next, and
then the two others. It is possible
that all may be tried this week,
although a portion of next week
may be consumed.
-Thongn the case 'is attrateting
intense interest, there has been no
evidence of excitement.
Judge Miller presides with grace
and dignity, and his rulings are
just, and strictly in accordance
with law.
In order that the difficulty of se
curing trial jurors may be redaced
to the. minimum, jurors not actual
ly serving are not allowed to re
main in the court room while wit
nesses are being examined.
Judge A. C. Riley-.
The judgeship of the Houston
county court, made vacant by the
appointment of Judge Miller to
the Superior court bench, has been
filled by the appointment of Hon.
A. C. Riley, of Fort Valley.
Judge Riley is about 35 years
old, has practiced iaw about ten
years, -has been twice chosen may
or of Fort Valley, and for several
years has been local attorney for
the Central Railroad'and Banking
Company. He is well versed in
law, thoroughly capable in every
respect to fill the position to which
he has been appointed. As a man
and lawyer he is held in high es
teem by all who know him, and it
has been proven that his executive
ability is of a high orden
The next regular session of the
County court will be held on the
3rd Monday, the 18th inst., and it
is not likely that he will hold court
before that time.
He will move to Perry to live as
soon as all necessary arrangements
man be made. Our people congrat
ulate him, and will cordially wel
come kirn and his excellent family
to Perry.
—Five of the largest hogs in
Georgia were raised iu Houston
connty, and are now in fine condi
tion for the slaughter pen. It is
estimated that they will yield 2,500
pounds of pork,and it is apprehend
ed that there will be difficulty in
devising a way to scald them, as
there is no vessel in the county
large enough to hold any one of
them. These hogs are owned re
spectively by Messrs. Zach Hays,
D. F. Gunn, YVayne Bashing, M.
F. Gorsett and Dan Thompson, all

hogs are killed, we desire a report

We also desire for publication the

•Masters Claude Bateman and
Forest Edwards deserve the com
mendation of our entire people fpr
an act they did last Monday.
They were'out hunting, and when
about to cross tbe railroad near
Bay creek, they discovered a
broken rail, that was such position
as would, have been likely to derail
the train. They waited patiently
for an hour or more, and waived
the approaching train to stop.
The rail was fixed, the passengers
and the crew thanked the boys
heartily, and the train passed safe
ly. It is almost certain that a se
rious accident was averted, and
their act is. more Tcommendable
from the fact young boys are. not
usually so thoughtful as they were
in this instance.
j in Houston Superior Court, eight; road from J. F. Reirfroe’s plant;!.-!
negroes being before the court {jin {p the G. S, & F, railroad, j
charged with the murder of - Capt
Wm. Miller, of Houston.
Judge Miller is admirably ea
pacitated to fill the place he occu
pies, and the people of the Macon
circuit, are to be congratulated that
he was appointed.
He was reared near Augusta,
but became a citizen of Perry
about 22 years ago. In 1870 he
began the practice -of law here.
He has served three terms in the
Georgia legislature, as a represent
ative of Houston county, was a
member of the commission under
whom the new Georgia state capi
tol was built, and for nearly two
years has been Judge of the
Houston connty coart.
J n every position, public or pri
vate, he has performed his duty
honestly and ably. His.knowledge
of law is fully-equal to tbe require
ments'of tbs high place lie occu
pies, and liis inate love of justice
will lead him to grace the place
eminently-
He is a true man, in every re
spect, and his many friends are
truly glad of his promotion.
However, there is a tinge of re
gret mixed.with the pleasure his
friends hel-e feel, and that is be
cause of the apprehension that in
the future his citizenship will be
moved from Perry. However, he
will remgin here for tbe present.
When the news of Judge Gus
ein’s resignation first reached Per-_
ry, Judge Miller had no idea of’
becoming a candidate, but when it
was learned that Judge Notting
ham woald not allow his name
used, Judge Miller’s friends asked
for the place, with the result above
named.
When "Ihe appointment was
made Hon. W; B. HU], of. Macon,
was a candidate, strongly support
ed by a majority of the M&con bar.
Judge Miller is able to go high
er, and we hope to see him a judge
of'the Supreme Court of Geo.igia.
■Houston Superior Court.
The adjourned term of Houston
Superior Court was convened last
Thursday morning at about 10
o’clock, Judge Gustiu presiding.
Tbe special grand jury to inves
tigate the Miller murder case was
empanelled, and Mr. G. M. T.
Feagiu was chosen foreman of that
bpdy. Judge Gustin’s charge was
uort, plain and specific.
The case for which the adjourn
ed term was originally called in-
volved a settlement of the estate
of the late Dr. Edgeworth. Much
law was involved, and the attorneys
consented, to a trial before the
j adge, and the traverse jury was
dismissed.
At noon Friday the grand jury
returned a true bill against eight
negroes for the murder of Capt.
Wm. Miller. The names of those
negroes are set forth in another
column. Directly after noon the
grand jury adjourned, without
transacting any other business.
The court adjonrned at noon
Saturday, until Monday.
At 2 o’clock Monday afternoon,-
the court- was again convened,
Judge A. L. Miller presiding, and
the Miller .murder case was taken
up.
The report of this case will be
found in another column.
—Recently important events
have transpired in various sections

slight money loss last Friday night
About 8 o’clock the front door of
his store was found open, and upon
investigatiou about S1.00 in small
change all left in the drawer, was
missing. The conclusion was
reached that the thief was hidden
in' the store yhen Mr. Martin
closed for the night. The ckarac
ter of the money—1-cent pieces—
led to the detection of the thief, a
young son of Gary White, colored.
It was further found that his twin
brother was an accessory, waiting

anxious for cold’weather, in order
that they may kill their hogs- The
hogs are fat, and the corn they
are now eating amounts almost to
that much total loss. Besides,
cholera has attacked the hogs in
some sections of the county, and
fear§ are entertained that the dis
ease may appropriate ’ a greater
portion of the pork crop.
