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 GEORGIA. Rockdale County— J. To all whom it may concern: T.
