On Jupe 22nd, last, the startling
news wept forth that a. desperate
attempt bsd-been made by some
eight or nine convicts at the Cole
City camp to effect an escape, and
that two or tHtfffe more had'run the
gantlet fusilade of bullets fired by
the guards. This wag.hot U.

to escape and was rv-captured in

". ? ' ' THE TRIAL.
y3? vsf a •; •
Wfien; the Sept. term. 1891, of
court convened among
the nftt businesi of the g-and ju
ry was to finding of the two bills
of indictment charging Abß Way
man, Seabe Lansdown. John Reth
erford Wilson Palmer with
the mu>*der of Pat Rowland and
Rankin, the two guards who
had been slain. All but Lansdown,
whoee case was continued until
next March term of court, were put
;upoa t?ial under the jmdictment for
the murder of Pat Rowland. Be
ing unable to pay council Judge
Milner appointed altoi*n#ytj to con
duct thejr defense.
Each was trieu seperateiy and
in spite of the sfrong current of
publicbpinipp the able judge bad
caet about them the protecting arm
of a Georgia cou/t of juetice un->
affebfAd by undue bias of 1 preju
dice wes found 1 gni 1 -
ty bf mwftleT with a recommenda
tion lo mercy Palmer and 4V Tav
raan Were each found guilt\ with
out any recommends Ton whatever.
Under the finding of the jury the
judg fixed Nov. 6‘h as the day of
public execution of both. Believ
ing that error had been committed
in the trial of Palmer, his attorneys
moved for anew trial which leayes
hiß fate > undecided for several
.months at least. In Wayman’s
■case no error cou'd be assigned;
[and today hie sentenoe has been
cXcClitcd.
THE CRIMINAL.
! A.be Wayman is 23 years old, of
medium height, weighs about 140
pounds,! and itfhor a dark ginger
cake color, with wild Staring eyes
expectant countenance; in
appearance he would pass for one
in deadly fear of Some unknown
yet expected evil about tWivertaka
him. A facial examination would
fail todisclose any savage or bru
tal indication", although a sentence
to life imprisonment,l& murder
precedod hia <dath sentefice. ■ *
The Dade Coal Cos. . officials re
. a -T • 0 •’*
gardeil Wayman as one of the meet
dangerous characters confined at
Cols City cimp.
Wayman become reconciled to
hii fate several days ago and all
bops of being able to avoid the
death penalty having left him, he
seemed prepared to withstand the
dreadful pineal through IJwhijh he
passed- Jusiice today laid a heavy
hand upon one of the actors in the
Coal City conspiracy. .The law is
vindicated while we await th se
