HENRY NORRIS HANGED.
Bi'chabax, Ga. October 15.—[Spools!.]—
Henry Norris, the murderer ot George Elliott,
wu hinged today ot half put one o’clock to
day. He remained perfectly calm to the last
and refused to talk to th* people or glvo any
reuono for tha killing of Elliott. By aomo
means tho rope wu tied too long, letting his
feet strike the groond, bnt tbe physicians in
attendance pronounced his neck broken by tbe
'fall. In eleven minutes ho wu prononuoad
dead by tho doctors aud eat down. Ho died
without a itrngtle.
On the Snd ofMarch last, in Haralson conn-
ty, Henry Norrto murdered Georgs Elliott.
Both nten were white, «nd wore ditching on o
farm In that county. After wading through
the uaia oi testimony taken at tho trial, all
that appeara in too way of provocatioo to this:
Ahcut torso years before, Elliott aakai Nsrito
for a chew of tobacco. Norrli gave It to him,
bat the tobacco wu of sueh poor quality that
Elliott threw it away, maklog aomo aUghtiag
remark about It. Norris wu very poor, aod
EUlott’f lotion provoked him, but he asemiog.
Iy took no ofibnw. At tho time of tho kill! sg
Non la was working foraix dollars a month.
Bo and Elliott on tbo day previous, won
working aide by side when HI*
llott again asked for a chow of tobac
co. Non la gave it to him, and Elliott
again threw it away, remarking upon its poor
quality, and adding some remark about Nor
ris's poverty. From tho evidence Norris made
up hto mind to kill him, but thorn wu not a
favorable opportunity. Oa tho day following
they were working together. Elliott had a
aho rel, working In nd vanes of Norris, and tho
latter bad o boo. Suddenly Norris hit Elliott
a terrible blow on the bsck of the head with
the hee, felling him to the ground. He then
took tbe ihevelof hto victim and beat him to
dentb with Its
Hto conduct in this bloody tragedy, and on
a*w *aa on a* uivvuj w*(guj| tuu ua

never becamo reconciled to bit aona lo-Uw,
while they, In turn, had bnt little respect for

It wu then that John, seeing tbe eeapleto
mastery he bad over hto father, became carried
away with hia importance, and tali under the

quent raids would ha mads on Ur. Sheffield's
herds by cattle thieves. John would lay the
blame lint on one neighbor and than on an
other. Many of them wore that arrested Mid
token to court, only to bo acquitted after much

Then continual raids, and consequent arrests

Mceaeity of eolf protection. A vigilance com
