Atlanta. Au;. 28 —For the murder of
his wife. Hiram Sharpe i>iid the penalty
of death on the gallowts at Decatur to
day at noon. So completely
was the m in. mentally and physically,
that the officers found it necessary to
place him u. r*r the influence of mor
phine, practically, at least, before they
could get him to mount the scaffold.
Sharpe spent last night in the tower in
Atlanta. At B:2U this morning, under j
guard of two officers, he boarded a trol
ley car and was whirled ulong over the |
will id mg tracks, through green fieldts and :
tangled groves, past quiet, peaceful and 1
beautiful suburban homes on and on to
the gallows.
The car stepped at Decatur and the
man. weak physically, supported by he
officers, walked up to the jail. A crowd
had gathered in front of the jail to see
the fated man brought in. They watched
him curiously as he walked up the street.
At about 11 o’clock the relatives, who
had been with Sharpe, left him and- ame
down stairs. They were weeping bitterly
as they left the jail. Upstairs Shari)**
had put on the new suit of sober black
they had bought for him and a clean
6hirt. He was ready.
Sheriff Talley took Sharpe by the arm
and led him to the trap. As he stepped
on this the Court House clock pealed 12
o’clock. He stool alone on the trap for an
instant, and those with him on the plat
form crowded about him for the last
good-bye, the last word, the lasi hand
shake, he would ever give them. The most
of the eyes that saw him as he stood
there were wet with sympathetic tears.
"Good-bye, good-bye," he said, and
grasped fervently each hand that was of
fered to him.
The rope was tied about his neck. He
asked that a handkerchief be placed over
his eyes. This was done. For an instant
he stood silent and then said: "I forgive
everybody. I have been mistreated, but
the Bible tells me that as I forgive, so
shall be forgiven. I forgive them all ev
erything. I love everyone alike and I hate
no one now. That is all I have to say.”
He finished speaking, and Mr. Talley
placed the black cap upon his head. It
was drawn gently down and tied. The
rope was placed about his neck, the noose
slipped and tightened, and those about
him stepped back.
The signal was given. The trap flew
open with a clatter, and the body of the
man shot through the opening. With a
jerk that drew his limbs up the fall was
stopped. The neck was evidently broken.
The body hung limp, without a quiver or
a tremor.
Sharpe killed his wife because she would
not live him.
TAIvKI.\G E^CAMI*>IENT.
Olfloers of the State May Secure nil
\ l|iro|rlatlon.
Atlanta, Aug. 28.—The military of the
state will ask the general assembly for an
appropriation sufficient to establish th ■*
old system of state encampment every
year. No encampments have l>een held
in Georgia for several years, and the
officers now in the service of the state
are anxious to get their commands into
camp.
This year several of the commands es
tablished camps of their own, hut it wa<
necessary for the men to he assessed to
pay the expense. For several years th**
Legislature made o sufficient appropria
tion to pay the expenses of half the state
troops for u camping tour of one week
at Griffin, Ga.. but ednee the Spanish-
American war. the troops hove not been
together except when they paid their own
expenses.
Inspector General O’near said this morn
ing he understood that the officers of the
store, and there are over 3uo of them,
would make a vigorous effort to have the
military appropriation increased, and if
they were successful in that effort, to
have the encampments re-establlehed.
Gov. Candler is said to le strongly ?n
favor of this movement, and it may be
that he will reoemmend the m* isure to
the Legislature. T. W. Hardwick of
'Washington, will probably introduce the
bill.
The militia is in better condition now
than it has been for years. Plnce the re
organization in February, there hns been
a big improvement. More interest is be
ing shown hv the officers than ever be
fore, and recently it has been necessary
to order out several companies for state
services.
81 SOW’S STANDING IN LAW.
ttneMtlon (in to Whether the Un>
Should He Counted.
Atlanta. Aug. 28.—Sunday’s standing In
law is the question involved in u man
damus proceeding, the papers of which
were filed in the county clerk’s office to
day. The question at issue is whether or
not Sunday cun be legally called a day.
in so far as it relates to expired time on
the statute books.
The case is that of C. H. Rivers, again;!
J. C. Price, justice of the peace in the
One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty-
Eighth District. On July 21, Saturday,
Mr. Rivers brought an action against
G. M. Grumpier and the A. C. Wright
Company, garnishees, the amount involved
being more than $:0. Justice Price heard
the evidence and decided for the gar
nishees overruling the traverse.
On July 2G, five days later. Rivers sig
nified a desire to appeal to the Superior
Court of Fulton county. He had been al
lowed four days to appeal, and this was
the fourth day, excluding Sunday. He
offered to make an affidavit In forma pau
peris before Justice Price, but the justice
refused. Now the petitioner prays for
a mandamus compelling the Justin to al
low the appeal. Judge Candler has set
the case for heating on Sent. 8, at 9
o’clock in the morning.

Speculation nt Thomasville Over the
lleatli of a Man.
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 28.—A well-dress
ed stranger was discovered yesterday
morning near the railroad track at Mil
ler’s brick yard, about six miles from
Thomasville, in a dying condition. He was
taken to a house and a doctor sent for.
hut he soon expired from apoplexy. The
doctor stated that the man was evidently
not a common tramp. He has with him
a passport, signed by Secretary of State
Huy. and also naturalization papers is
sued in Kandiyohi county, Minnesota.
These documents showed his name to
be Anton Heinz. He was about 47 years
old 5 feet 10 inches in hight, brown eyes,
oval Chin and face, dark hair and com
plexion. He had a leather bag, In which
were numerous toilet articles, such as
a gentleman would use. were also
a photograph taken in Litchfield. Minn., of
two men and two ladles in a group, and a
religious German book. Two dollars and
a half were in his pocket and two bank
books, one of the Capital City Bank in
Atlanta and the other of Maddox & Ruck
er. Atlanta, both showing balances due
him on June 30, the former of S4OO and the
latter of $220.
The theory is that he was temporarily
demented and had wandered away.

Patton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Patton, also of this city, were married this
evening at 9 o’clock at the Presbyterian

performing the ceremony.

thur Patton, Jr., were ushers. The bride
entered the church on the arm of the maid

HI MOHS OF A LYNCHING.
Soldiers May Have to Gtiaril Itobin
son When He Is Hung.
Atlanta, Aug. 28.—Rumors reached the
capital to-day that a lynching might save
the sheriff of Cobb county the trouble of
hanging Sam Robinson next Saturday at
Marietta. Robinson is the negro who so
brutally assaulted Mrs. Izner about fif
teen days ago near Smyrna. He was
caught, confessed and was tried and sen
tenced to hang next Saturday. Atlanta
soldiers, ordered out by Gov. Candler, sur
rounded the Court House and kept the
mob away while Robinson was being
tried.
Robinson is now in the tower, where he
has been since the trial. During the early
part of this month.
He has been kept very quiet since he
was sentenced. It was thought, by keeping
the man in Atlanta until the day set for
the hanging, that all the sentiment
against him would die down, hut it seems
that the people of Cobb ctounty are still
angry, and it is now expected by some
that soldiers will have to be sent back
to see that the law is carried out. The
gallows is being erected and every pre
caution is being taken to see that the
death trap is in perfect order.
