2 FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE. IIIR m SII Vltl'C PAID THE I’EY U-TY ON THE GALLOWS AVa- llnnuril at Noon Yesterday in Decatur—Rode in Trolley 4nr From the Atlanta Tower to the Decatur Jail—The t ondrinned M in Wa Mentally and ih>*teall> De moralized— Hi* La*t \\ oriln I pun tlie Sea field. 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. C apt. Stone Thomarville, Oa., Aug. 28.—Capt. J.

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. MRS. ItANKIY A DELEGATE. Slit* Will Attend the Convention of Wholesale l>ruuuit.
