KingHardware Co. ATLANTA F. 6, BVRit, Manager NEWPORT SOCIETY CHIMPANZEE HERE Do you remember reading of the rhtmponxeo which was made a social favorite at Newport last season, and which waa dined anil wined by the elite of that fashionable resort? This was Consul, the smartest chlmpansee In the world, and he la now out at Ponce De Leon with the Boetock show, which will be opened Friday night. • These men at Newport are making monkeys of themselves,” remarked one young wag at the swell resort, "so let's see If we can't make a man out of a monkey." Anything new goee at Newport so Cdheul waa borrowed, and dressed In evening clothes. When he was the guest of honor at the big dinner he ■hawed that he could eat without put ting his knife In his mouth, and dis played much better table manners than some or the folks who break Into so ciety. The Bostock show promises to be one of the amusement resorts of the season. Performances will be given every aft ernoon and night and visitors will also be admitted to the morning training lessons given the anlriials, one of the moat Interesting features of the show. probably the worst record of any crook who has done time there. He leaves with an unequalled record of time In "solitary”—time served In the dungeon on bread and water. For It was "Black Billy” who astounded Warden Moyer, Deputy Warden McClaughry and other well-known criminologists by remain ing In the dungeon from November IS, 1805, until 8:80 o'clock a. m„ April 15, 1806. before he surrendered—more than six months. And to get out all he had to do was promise to be good and abide by the rules of the Institution. But this man preferred to stubbornly re fuse and to live on bread and water and stand up until he became so weak he couldn't, and hurl villainous abuse at those responsible for his safe-keep. Ing. Try Him for Safe Robbery. When he leaves on November 18 he will be taken to North Carolina to stand trial for helping to blow the safe of the Bank of Davie at Mockavltla. His pats In this Job, who served time with him In Atlanta, gdt ten years each. So "Black Billy" can probably figure out and not mlse It far as to what la com Ing to him. It would take a volume to tell of "Black Billy” and his career In bur glary and safe-blowing. In fact, a vol ume might be written about him since he left the Bowery and made a raid -Kith his gang on tho First National Bunk of Orwell, Vt„ and then hit the trail South. Ills criminal record was known to the police all over tho coun try even then, but his operations In the South were so numerous and so daring that the best of Pinkerton's men hastened to this locality and camped on the trail of these bold crooks for eev. eral months before they were rounded up In a desperate battle near Monroe, Blew Safe at Greers. The particular crime for which Black Billy and hla gang served sentences of live years each In the Atlanta prison waa the blowing of the safe In the post- office at Greers, 8. C. Several other crimes were charged to this gang, but It was decided to let Uncle Sam's sleuths get through with them first In this gang were three besides "Black Billy.” According to the official record. “Black Billy” Is known as James Lang, alias "Black Billy,” alias John Hughes, alias James Hughes, alios James Tier ney, alias "Lawrence Billy,” with a true name of Matthew Ahearn, born In Salem, Mean. With him in the Greert job and the attempt on the Bank of Davie, were Charles Rogers, alias "Shorty" O'Con nor, alias "New Britain Blackey;’’ H. B. Wilson, alias "Philadelphia Harry." alias “Germantown Shorty." and Wal ter Wood, alias George Carter, alias Clave.” All of these men are notorious The Flat Brim Derby tnat has made such a wonderful hit with the young men. The air of swaggerness which it carries has won it many friends, yet it is used, and correctly so, as a hat for informal dress. We have it here in brown or black at $3.00 MUSE’S, 3-5-7 Whitehall Street. CHECK8 CA8HED IN GOLD BY SAVANNAH BANKS. Special to The Georgian. Savannah. Ga., Nor. 6.—At a meeting of tne savannah > waring House Asso ciation It was decided to Issue clearing lious* certlffcatee for use In the local banks. The Board of Trade. Cotton Exchange anil Retail Merchants' Asso ciation also held oicetlngs and passed strong resolutions calling upon theneo. pie to receive these certlffcatee. ft is stated by the most prominent hankers that there ts a large demand for these certificates. Much gold was received In the city yeaterday and many of the banks paid their cheeks tn gold. be hind them, although they are com. paratlvely young men. When Lang Is taken out of the pen here, he will go back to North Carolina tn stand trial for the Mocksvllle job, for which hi* three pal* are now doing ten years each. While this Is the only specific charge agalnet him. enough ev. Idence baa been secured to connect him with several other eafe-blowlng Jobs In North and South Carolina to keep him and his gang In the pen tor the bal ance of their lives. Beginning on Jan usry 15, 1808, this gang blew no less than six safes during the balance of the month, and government and Pink erton detectives have reason to believe that many other Jobs were pulled off by this and the other gangs. Eight in the Gang. The seven other noted yeggs who have gone back to North and South Carolina after serving time in Atlanta were all In. the same general gang, but the members had split up Into parties of two, three and four, and It was laing who bossed the most dangerous gang In the hunch. The others, however, worked In harmony and the territory was all mapped out and apportioned. Towns were descended upon and safes blown with almost railroad schedule regularity, and quick Jumps were made from place to place. But such assaults upon postofflees and banks which were members of the American Bankers' Association could not last long without the best of Chief Wilkie's secret service and Pinkerton's men camping on the trail of the crooks. The American Bankers' Association has the Pinkertons employed to run down alt crooks who molest members, of the association, and so relentless has their pursuit and prosecution become that the best crooks will not molest a bank which Is a member of the asso ciation. Battle at Bank. The attempt on the Mocksvllle. X. C., bank was made on the night of Jan uary 28, 1803. I-ang and his pals had set off two charges of nitroglycerine, without smashing the time lock, when the noise aroused the cashier, who came to the bank and opened fire on the yegg guarding the outside. Then ensued a nlelol battle, but the crooks escaped. The attempt on the bank brought Pinkertons to the scene, and If was while they were Investigating the matter that the crook* Mew n safe on the outskirts of Charlotte and on the next day another safe in Mecklenburg county. ..

The four rswiM a. min- sopurated and opened fire. The yeggs ran up Into the town, firing on their pursuers, Lang especially showing nerve and coolly taking aim at the of. ficere and burying bullets from Ills forty-four In posts behind which the officers took shelter. Chasad by Hounds. The four men were finally captured after an exciting chase by n posse with bloodhounds, and were put In Jail. The government got them first for the post- office robbery at Greers. S. C„ and ruch of them got live years. All but Lang were released the early part of the year and are now doing their sentences for the Mocksvllle job. All of Lang’s time off for good behavior wus forfeited and he served hi* full time. He can not be taken out and worked with tile other prisoners unless It Is where he can be watched and where a lard can shoot him down at the first guard can snoot nun down at tne nrst Intimation of attack. He tried once to kill a guard with a stone, and while doing a "hit” In the New Hampshire state prison, he was mode to wear a hall and chain for having made an at tack on a fellow-prisoner. "During my prison exiieriehce," said i C\ C. Me - Captain McClaughry. deputy war den of the Federal prison, "Lang Is probably the worst I have had to en counter. I have handled In my time something like 50,000 convicts and have probably been compelled to punish four or five thousand of these, but 1 never had one so stubbornly remain In soli tary confinement like Lang did. Oon't Beat Prisoner*. 'We don't beat prisoner* when they do not comply with the rules. That would make them vindictive and swear to get even when they got out. We nut them In solitary confinement and put it up to themselves to win Ihe battle over themselves. When they conquer, all they have to do Is to make over tures and assure us that It I* their Intention to do what Is right, and they come nut. But Lang would not even do this. He remained In that punish ment and hurled abuse at the guards who went to him. It Is entirely up to a prisoner, and most of them sec the error of their way In a few hours and we have little trouble.” The other branch of this gang, known as the Nolan gang, and the members of which did time here before going back to North and South Carolina, were Tom Hamilton, alias "Toledo Danny;” Joe Bird, alias "Columbus Joe,” and Wil liam Oliver, released from tho Atlanta iiimu.H Nolan, alias “Chicago Nolan;" Charles Howard, alias Hearn, alias "Texas Dutch," who were released on January 21 of this year. Each of these men got ten years after leaving At lanta. So "Block Billy" Is the last of the bunch. He will probably get the same thing unless he escapes or gets hilled, but even yet he hopes for liberty and more safes to crack. JOHN M. MILLER CO. WITNESSES TELL ABOUT U. S.
