THE MURDERED DEFOORS
The DeFoor murder has again drill.
•ed to the surface, ai.d this time there
is a strong probability that there will
be a banging as a final chapter to this
brutal and ghastly tragedy which four
years ago created such a profund sen
tation throughout Georgia. This
time the voluntary confession of one
of the murderers has caused the arrest
of one and by his t me probably two
others. The names of the murderers
are Joe Johnson, Tom Savinger and
John Browu, and it was the first
named who made the confession
which will again op n the old trage.
<iy. Johnson has been making his
home in Macon for sometime past and
ena day last week he was arrested in
that city, and subsequent to his ar
rest he confessed that he, Savinger
and Brown we e the murderers of old
man DeFoor and his wife. It appears
from the meagre tacts that can be
gatheri d that Johnson had a sweet¬
heart in Macon,, and the first time he
ever mentioned the killing of the old
couple was in his s'eep. The scene
at ike bedside was in an incoherent
manner reviewed by Johnson while
he was a'-■sleep, but at the time the
girl, who was awakeued by tire talk'
iugs and groaniig of Johnson, paid
hut little attention to it. Finally and
after a long acquaintance with John¬
son, the woman observed tko fres
quency of hie mutlerings about the
murder, aud ultimately prevailed up
on him to tell her what it meant. At
first Johnson refused to comply with
her request, but after a while he told
the woman that he and two confeder¬
ates were the persons who killed old
man DeFoor, at their home near the
Chattahoochee river in Fulton county
four years ago To the woman he
recounted tho crime, giving in full
its details and (he names of his asso¬
ciates.
The story alarmed the woman and
she repeated it to some friends, and
the result was it finally reached the
ears of Lieutenant Wyly’ of the Ma
oon police force. This official, know
ing that Mr. Bridges Smith, the city
editor of the Telegraph & Messenger
was conversant with the crime, iin
parted his knowledge to him. These
two gentlemen gave the matter their
attentive consideration and the more
they investigated the matter the more
apparent it became to them that there
was something in the negro,s story.
Johnson,s arrest followed this conclu¬
sion, and after he was imprisoned he
made a clean breast of the whole hi
fair, flis confession covered the
crime, and the came leading to it,
the wanderings ot himself after that
night and gave the names aud homes
ot his confederates. The confession
was written out by Mr. Smith, and
read to Jokusou who acknowledged
it to be true, After receiving this
confession, the gentleman opened com
municatiou with the executive des
partment, whereby they learned that
there was a a reward ot f1,000 for
the apprehension aud conviction of
the murderers. Then they began an
inquiry, and ascertained that Torn
Saviuger, one of the prisoners named
in Johnson’s confession, was living in
Fulton county, ani that Brown, the
other person named in the same pa¬
per, was living in Coweta county.
Having ascertained these tacts and
being convinced of the troth of John
son’s confession by statements made
by him showing an accurate knowl¬
edge of the crime aud how it was
committed, the Macon officials under¬
took the capture of the two murder¬
er* at large. In effecting the cap¬
ture of Savinger, they were compelled
to come to Atlanta where they ar„
rived Wednesday morning. Soon
after reaching this city they sought
Chief Connolly* to whom they made
known their mission, and to whom
they showed a copy ot Johnson’s con¬
fession. This paper wai such a care¬
ful resume of the fac’s attendant
upon the murder that Chief Connally
could not disregard it upon the the¬
ory that it was another Asa Gunn
affair, and with alacrity he tendered
his aid to the Macon officials in se¬
curing the arrest of Savinger. By
the confession of Johnson it was us¬
ed tained that Savinger was living
near 'heoidD. Foor homestead and
'
it was to that portion of Fulton coun
ty the officials went, There were I
four of them. They were Chief Con
nally and Dotective Win. Jones, of
Atlanta, and Lieutenant Wyly aud
ex-Chief Hurly, of Macon. After i
reaching the neighborhood indicated
in the confession, the officers ascer¬
tained by inquiry that Savinger was
living about a mile from Bolton, aud
pi a field they found him at work.
The four officers surrounded the fidd
and gradually closing in on Savinger
came upon him before he had any
idea of their proximity
