Commissioner L. M. Erwin.
The aue attracted much attention and a large
crowd from the counties of Wilkinson and Twiggs
were prevent. At an early hour this inornipf tbo
sidewalk In front of the United States building
Cherry street was crowded with the friends and
acquaintances of the accused,
cussing the case, and ihc probabilities
of the release. Conspicuous among the groups
was ShcrifT'Fountain, of Wilkinson county, and
Colonel Joel 8. Jones, the counsel for the defense.
Up stairs in the office of United States Commis
sioner Ilu^jkin* were assembled the officers of tho
United States courts; District Attdrney 8. A. Dar
nell, Marshal R. D. Locke, Commissioner L M.
Erwin, Commissioner J. IL Haskins, and others.
When It was announced that the hour for the trl il

room, and soon it was Ailed, ns it has not been for
year?. At promptly 10:1ft Deputy Marshal E. E.
Cush formally announced the court open.
After tbc usual preliminaries, District Attorney
Darnel! Announced ready. Colonel Jones, for de
ft lire, also said he was ready. Tho witnesses were
the n sworn, consisting of fourteen gentlemen And
one Judy. After they had been sworn, counsel for
defense moved that the warrants be dismissed
against the defendants, J. M. Rvals, W. B. Ed
monson aud W. N. Hudson; that there was defec
tion in not charging any particular act of conspi
racy or what right er privilege the intimidation
was to movent.
The court overruled tho motion and the trial
???VTe' ???first witness sworn was Mr. 8. I. Djti-
nnrd. Justice of the pence at Gorden. He stated
on June fttli the supposed dead man, Dock Hin
son, was brought before him on u warrant iwuod
by 8. M. Ryals, for burglary. He was brought to
his office ??>y Kynls in a buggy. Tho evidence not
being sufficient to commit, and no witnesses pres
ent, Tie was difttubsed. No ono was present but
** lls, who carried him away in a buggy. His
rty w ns not restrained and ho was net tied to
the buggy, lie kimw nothing of tho killing or
search lor the body. Mr. David Champion, of
Twiggicounty, lives fifteen miles from Gordon;
knew Dock Hinson; ho stayed at his homo
one night iu June. During the
night Dyiils, Edmonson and Hudson
came there about twelve o'clock, and Edmonson
called him and said he wanted Dock Hin
son. and ordered me to open tho door. When 1
did so, they produced a paper, claiming it to be a
warrant, and arrested him. Ho was not tied or
bound. I was excited, not being accustomed to
such procccilings. Edmonson was rough iu his
*~DKUage, and Kynls also swore. Hudson said he
d taken clothes and motley from ltyals. RyaU
gave him tlio warrant with an oath. He refused
to read It. I recognized them by their faces. They
were not dlsgubed; thought Ryals drinking. Ed
monson made the arrest. Ho said: "Boys, I have
got him." Ryals embraced and kissed him and
raid: "Did you not know that 1 would have
you if you went to tho ocean." IHnson did not
rcsbt. Don't know whether he is dead or alive,
i not participated In any search,but hoard they
.cd to take the body up. Rumors of theathiir
were afloat throughout the county Hint he was do 11.
Grand Jury had Hudson before ft. i'aid no atten
tion after the grand jury had met. My wife and
Hinson, brother and sister, knew nothing of
grand jury pMH-i tilings. Hinson???* family did not
appear before the grand Jury as prosecutor. Mr.
Ichabald Daikhnm. of Twiggs county, was member
of the grand jury. There was no evidence that a true
till could be based on ngalust the incu on tho
charge. There was no coroner???s investigation or
Inquiry before the grand jury. John Wall, of
1 wlggs county knew the |??rtics. One night in Juno
men passed his house nt night, and they said were
hunting llinson, that ho had stolen money atul a
suit of rlothes from ltyal*; they were on horse
back. On tlu-ir return hoard clutter of horses feet.

The True Story of Ex-Governor Jenkins
nnd Mrs* Belt*
The Augusta Chronicle thus tells the itory of
tbc late Governor Jenkins??? connection with Mrs.
Belt aa gathered from tho answer of the counsel of
the estate:
It demonstrates conclusively that Governor Jen-
liicfe never sustained any fiduciary relationship
toward Mrs. Belt. He was never her trustee, guar
dian or raid attorney. He had been tho
guardian of her hurband during his minor ity, but
that relationship bad long ceased to exist. Ho ivaa
a kinsman of Lloyd Carlton Belt???the husband of
the complainant???and had always manifested tho
liveliest interest In the welfare of himself afxd
family. All services rendered by Governor Jenkltia
to Mrs. Belt, and all aid extended, were ex gratia,
in response to her solicitations, .entirely frlennly
in tlicir character, and wholly without compensa
tion, Upon the death of her husband iu 18G2
Mrs, Belt qualified gs his executrix and assumed
the burden of tho exceutlou of his will. 8ho was
then a woman of alniut thirty years of age, tlio
mother of four children, laboring under no disa
bility, and well acquainted with and capable of
assorting her rights, both of hereon and property.
With recurd to the sale of the Bulloch lands, or
Lodge estate, and the disposition of the proceeds
of that sale, the answer show???s that those laud*
w ere, nt the time of the dzath of Lloyd Carlton
Belt, heavily encumbered by a mortgage which ho
bud executed in favor of M. D. Joues, of Burko
countv, from whom he purchased them, to secure
the unpaid portion of the purchase moneys. The
entire tract of 9,000 acres was not raorth more
than from 812.000 to 815,000 iu good
money. Mrs. Belt manifested great
anxiety to sell these lands, nnd In
voked the old of Governor Jenkins in the aocom-
plbhment of this purpose. Yielding to her solici
tations Governor Jenkins did Interest himself in
finding a purchaser. On the 19th of August. 1W.I,
these lauds were sold to Messrs. Fleming and Row
land, of Augusta, Gu.. for the sum of HOO.OOJmn-
fede rate* currency. At the time and place* of n.ilo
confederate currcucy was the only circulating me
dium, and fifteen dollars of that currency wera
then and there tho equivalent of ono dollar in
gold. Mrs Belt liemdf fixed the price at which
those lands should be sold, and lraportu?????t
Mr. l???orter Fleming, of tho firm of
Fleming A Rowland, to .become tho purchaser of
than. IVhen the sale was c.v,isnmmated In tho
city of Augusta, Ga., Mrs. Belt was present ami ex
ecuted the deed, signing it both as executrix of
the will of her husband and in her individual
capacity. She then and there requested Governor
Jenkins, ns her friend, to receive, iu her behalf,
the 8100,(00 confederate currency paid by Fleming
A Rowland. Twenty-three thousand six hundred
and fifty-three dollars and thirty-five cents of
this amount were ui once applied to the payment
nnd discharge of tho mortgage held by
M. D. Jones. Till* mortgage covered
not only the lands in question, but also a number
of nogrors, the property ??f the estate ol Lloyd
Carlton Belt. The balance of the proceed) of tho
sale of the Bulloch lands Mrs. Belt requested Gov
ernor Jcnkius to hold for the xmyinent of other
debt* due by her husband and subject to her fur
ther crdcr. Responding to her wish, Governor ???
Jenkins did, from this confederate currency in
hand, ray various debt* of the Belt estate, aud
from time to timo did turn over to Mrs. Belt such
sums as she desired. In December, 1883, and early
iu isfd, with the full knowledge of Mrs. Belt, Gov
ernor Jenkins purchased for her account aud in
vested over forty thousaud dollars of dmfederato
c urrency in his hands in 7 30 interest bearing con
federate treasury notes. These interest bearing
confederate treasury notes he continued to hold
ut her request, as her property, and for her exclu
sive benefit. Confederate currency was thou very
abundant, nnd Governor Jenkins was in the re
ceipt of u large Income from Augastu factory stock
and other ptoperty.
After this Investment lie continued to pay out
and advance for Mrs. Belt various and large sit urn
of confederate money nt her request, for her ben
efit, and for the support of her children, nud tho
negroes and stock belonging to tile estate of Lloyd
Carlton Belt. These payments and advances
were so generously made by Governor
Jerkins that he not only con
sumed all the confederate currency belonging
Mrs. Belt, deposited with him by her. but out of
hi:-???private minus contributed nnd advanced tho
rattiier sum of 12!,230.22. Attached to the answer
Is i??n account current showing every receipt uud
expenditure.
Upon the failure of the confederate struggle for
IndiptncUnec, the 7-30 interest bearing confeder
ate treasury note* became absolutely worthies*.
During the war Mr*. licit resided iu
Gcoreid, was in eonstnut ami confidential com
munication with Governor Jenkins, and was en
tirely conversant with all his friendly acts in her
brimlf. Hhe was acquainted with nil disburse
ments made, and requested and sanctioned tho
investments made In the 7.30 interest bearing con
federate treasury notes. In all lids matter Gov
ernor Jenkins acted simply a* the friend of Mrs.
Belt, neither claiming uor receiving any compen
sation whatever. White thus Indebted to Gov
ernor Jenkins. Mrs. Belt, in November. l*y. bning
in impecunious eirciinmtaucey, applied to
him ft r pecuniary assistance. He generously rc-
HK'tidid to her application, and handed her rf,500
in peed money. Till- loan or gratuity has never
bcdi rcfundtil by Mrs. Belt. Iii IjW.) she again
bepgtfl money of him, but having no property of
fccis in bis bauds, amt laving on a previous occa

any fuithor gift or loan. Shortly thereafter Mr*.
J ??it removed from Georgia, nut! after a rfriduneo
of reuse time iu Washington city, finally fixed
l.er home fn New York city, where she nowr

death of Gove:nor Jenkins, a period of nearly
