A. S. COLYER ARRESTED AS SWINDLER AND CHEAT
HORRORS OF
0.5. POISON
EXPOSED
Former Guard Quit Job Because
It Was “Like Sending Men’s
Souls to Hell.”
One of the most shocking of all
the tales of the cruelty at the Atlan
ta Federal Prison since Julian Haw
thorne and Dr. W. J. Morton made
their sensational charges against
Warden William H. Moyer, was told
to The Georgian Saturday morning
by J. H. Archer, of Sumter, Ga., for
two years a guard at the institution,
who says he quit because "It was
like sending men’s souls to hell!”
Mr. Archer’s story of the things he
saw and the things he did during his
two years’ service under Warden
Moyer is like a page ripped from some
inquisition record. It is a picture
an 4 punishments hardly
conceivable in this enlightened age
He bared the secrets of the "hole,” a
place of torture that he says changed 1
strong men into white-faced maniacs; [
he tells the details of how men were J
chained and shackled to the walls
of a dungeon for days at a time, with I
a slice of bread and a glass of water ’
their only fare; of men who were ■
thrust into the blackness of the "soli- j
tary” and came out insane with the j
desire to kill; of the man who, his i
mind wrecked by the terrible silence ;
of the “hole," and the strain of his j
punishment, tore a great hole in his |
side with a rusty nail and ground
fine particles of glass into his own
flesh; of the consumptive who was
locked in his cell and kept there until
he died, and there is in his mind the I
remembrance of the young prisoner
who lay for twenty days on the stone
floor of his cell without a morsel to I
eat.
Moyer Began Use of "Hole.”
"It's been several years since I
worked as guard at the Federal Pris
on.” said Mr. Archer, "and things
may have changed, but in the light
of recent revelations I do not believe
they have. I was one of the first
guards who worked at the prison. I
went there while ’Warden Hawke was
in charge, and later Warden Moyer

Mr. Hawke was there, but I do not
remember that he ever placed a pris

came and took charge of the prison
there were always half a dozen poor
devils chained to the walls, their legs
shackled and their faces pressed
against the solid brick —slowly going
Insane in the inky blackness and the
terrible silence.
"There is but one word to use in
“peaking of the ‘hole’ out there at
e prison. That word is hell. If there
<s a hell on earth. It is the dungeons
where prisoners are thrown for the
slightest infraction of the prison
rules; where men’s souls are shrivel
ed and their bodies destroyed. The
men who are paying their debt to
rciety out there fear the terrors of
the ‘hole’ more than they fear the
terrors of eternal damnation.

1913 BIGGEST
BY MANY
MILLIONS
•
November Clearings $7,000,000
Over Same Month in 1912.
Week Shows Increase.
With the bank clearings for No
vember, 1913, exceeding by more .than
seven million dollars the figures tor
November a year ago, indications
were Saturday that the clearings for
the year will exceed by many mil
lions of dollars any year in the his
tory of the Atlanta Clearing House
Association.
“Unless the clearings for Decem
ber fall far short of what they have
ever been for that month," said J.
i G. Lester, secretary of the Clearing
; House Association, Saturday morn
i ing, “this year is going to be the big.
gest we have ever had. and the clear
' Ings will compare very' favorably
with any city in the Unitad States
“There are no figures available gs
I yet on the clearings for the year, bul
1 indications are they' will exceed any
I other year by many millions of dol-
I lars.”
The clearings for the month of No
i vember, 1913, were $79,708,928.03, an
■ Increase of $7,186,516.03 over Novem
' ber, 1912, This increase is consid
ered remarkable, as there is usually
! a falling off in bank clearings to-
I ward the close of "the year.
An increase of the same generous
! proportions is seen in the bank clear
ings for the week that closed Satur
day at noon, as compared with the
same week last year. This week the
clearings were $15,309,981.94, while
i last year for the corresponding week
the clearings were only $13,128,148.98,
a gain of more than two millions.
The ciearings for this week are sev-
I era) million dollars smaller than last
I week, but this failing off is but the
: natural decrease always apparent aft
er the 15th of each month.

President Watches Cadets Sweep
Middies Off Their Feet—Sea
men Put Up Great Fight.
By FRANK G. MENKE.
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
Nov. 29.—The Army mule reared up
and with Its hind legs to-day kicked
the Navy goal to smithereens. When
the smoke of battle cleared the final
score showed that the Army had de
feated the Navy by a score of 22 to 9
The Army team swept the much
vaunted Navy elf ven oft its feet, out
playing it in every department of the
game. The Navy put up a game fight,
and fought ferociously in the last
quarter, but the cadets were not to
be denied.
It was the first time since 1908 thwt
the Army had triumphed over the
The most spectacular play of th*
game occurred in the third period
when CaptaJn Hogue, of the Armv
eleven, raced down the field 65 yards
and brought the ball to within 5
yards of the Navy's goal. Two
smashes through the center gave the
Army its second touchdown of the
game.
The middles tried line smashing and
made some gains, but at the crucial
moment the Army line held and the
middies were forced to kick.
The star in the middies' line-up
was Brown and his toe. Three times
the right guard booted the ball and
three times he sailed it over the ca
dets’ goal.
Immediately after the game the 650
West Point cadets formed a circle
around the playing field, lifted their
caps, let loose a wild cheer and then
rushed to the center of the field yell
ing like Indians. There they hoisted
the Army colors and waved aloft the
figures showing the Army's score for
the game.
In that vast assemblage there was
only one non-partisan rooter. He was
President Wilson. As Commander-In-
Chief of the Army and Navy he
could root for neither side, no mat
ter what his personal feeling may
have been.
During the first half, the President
sat on the Army side and rooted for
the cadets. Then, to even up mat
ters. he went over to the seadogs
during the last half of the game.

The Navy won the toss and elected
to defend the west goal.

to gain through center. Mcßeavy took
the ball through center to the Army’s
6-yard line. Blodgett failed to gain

The Navy fumbled on the next play
and lost the ball on the Army’s 3-yard
line. Hogue punted to Nicholls, who
ran the ball back to the Army's 14-
yard line
