HE TALKS LESS.
HARRY HILL’S MOUTH SHUT UP
BY HIS LAWYERS.
THE GRAND JURY IXVESTMiATION,
Tolleson Didn’t Give up the
Notes he Holds—Hill Con
fined in ‘-Murderer’s
Cell”—May Get Out
on Bond*
Atlanta, Ga., Jane 8.—The grand
jury continual to investigate the Harry
HUl forgery charge*.
j. b. imillul’s testimony.
Among those who testified before the
grand jury were J. B. SmiUle, who hst
been a long-time friend of Hill’*. H>
was asked about the letters held by Rob
inson and alleged to have been written
by Mrs. Fannie L. Porter. He said that
Hill most certainly did not forge the
body of the letter, and did not think
that there was but one letter that Hill
might hare written, and that was an L,
which was in the signature of “Fannie
L. Porter .”
He testified that be knew of notes
passing between Mrs. Porter and Harry
Hill, and that Hill frequently received
a lunch sent to him from the Porter
household. The lunch was usually
brought to Hill by the same negro, the
husband of Mrs. Porter’s cook.
Cashier J. R. Collins,'of the Home
bank, testified that he believed that the
notes be held were genuine, as far
the signature of Mrs. Fannie L. Porter
was concerned, and were like all of her
signatures that he bad ever seen.
waaan hakky bill now libs.
“Murderer’s Cell,” otherwise known
as “Twelve Spot,” a very dim and
gloomy apartment at the ocunty jail, is
where Harry Hill will exist until he L
released by bond, Acquitted or taken to
the penitentiary.
He was transferred from the polioe
station to the Jail by Sheriff Jim Barnes.
When he reached the jail Jailor John
Corrigan assigned him to the famou*
cage in which murderers and criminals
of the very worst description have been
oonfined. It was not because Hill be
longed to this desperate class of crimi
nals, however, that he was given this
cell. For many reasons it is more de
sirable than any other in the common
prison and is very convenient to the
door.
Speculation as to the quarters Hill
would be given at the jail has been very
general. The opinion has been very
freely ventured that he would be given
a nice room, such as Red wine occupies,
.and not be locked in the common
prison. In settling upon the quarters
Hill was to occupy his wishes were not
consulted. Jailor Corrigan simply in
formed him that he would do bis eating
and sleeping in “Twelve Spot.” Hill
did. not demur.
H li’a cell is the most famous one in
the jail. Bvery murderer who has been
executed .in Fulton county has been
o Jhflaed in it. Peter Daniel spent his
last days in it. Sam Hill, whone case
is famous, covered its walls with weird
pictures, the creatures of a crazed mind.
A lifesize pieture of Underwood, who
killed Sayre, adorns one of the walls.
Hill’s bond has been fixed at $7,000 by
Solicitor Hill. It may be that it wili
be furnished today. It was stated yes
terday afternoon that his relatives were
going to sign bail for him. Mr. Wel-
born Hill paid him a visit after he
reached the jail, and remained with him
some time.
HUl claims that hia plantation in
Oglethorpe oounty is untrammeled, and
Intimates that the Willson Whisky
Company is still hia property.
HOW HILL LOOKS.
Hill has not changed in appearance
reaching Atlanta, but he baa
> quite a change in hia line of oon-
Since he was first ar.ested in
Chicago the one thing more notifiable
than any other about bis conduct
was bis inordinate propensity to
talk. He unbosomed himself to the
newspaper men without reserve and to
avciy one who asked him he told the
story of his wrong doing.
His friends were somewhat amazed
at the extraordinary freedom with
which he conversed about his affairs
and the first and about the only tele
gram sent him from Atlanta oontained
this advice: “Stop talking.” But-
Harry didn’t stop. He grew more talk
stive aa the time for his departure from
the Winay City drew near in spite of
all the warning and advice of friends
and atttorneys
How he has, -firmly announced that
henceforth he will talk no more.

pressed the conviction tbit Mrs. Porter
had indorsed notes tor Hdl.
SHOULD HATH ACTED HONORABLY.
•But,” he continued, “he should
have suffered any.punishment uncom-
plainly rather than breathe one word
that would oast suspicion upon or sully
the name of the woman whom his vil
lainy gut into trouble. HUl should
have been the first men to defend with
his life the reputation of that family-
If he had gained the confi lenee of Mrs.
Porter—a confidence to betray- which
meant untold humiliation to her and
her family—be should-have upheld that
honor, which he could so easily destroy,
with his last breath.”
This is but a sample of the sentiment
which HUl’s conduct has aroused and
there may yet be some more serious
consequenoes to him than danger of the
penitentiary if he gives bond and braves
ihe public upon the streets soon.
BLACKMAILED MBS. PORTER.
Developments go to show tl at Hill

fidently expected that this will be shown
ou the trial. For a long time there-
hsve been reports eonnecting the name
of HUl and that lady, these reports be
ing traceable largely to HUl’s publio
boasts of his conquest, and the . theory
is that be forced her to sign notes to
furnish him with money under threats
of exposure after he had gained
confidence.
didn’t give THEM CP.
Tolleson didn’t give up the notes the
grand jury wanted. They served a sub
poena duces tecum on him, however,
and he wUl have to give *them up
sooner or later. He stated that he ex
plained his position fully, and after
chey discussed the matter osrafully and
thoroughly, the grand juro.-s accepted
bis proposition, that he did not wish
bis papers held, and they agreed to let
him bring his papers in with the privi
lege of retaining them and taking them
away with him. A resolution was
passed to this effect and he waa excused
until tomorrow morning.

I* tha Subject of a Card From
Merchant
Mr Editor ; Indulge me in a random
ar.d rather speculative sort of an artiole.
M ney matters are stringent and there
fore the purchasing power of a dollar ia
gteat, but at the same time nothing to
compare with its debt paying power.
Start a ten dollar note in circulation the
first day of say month and it will, or
can, easily take care of one hundred
dollars in aooounti. But this is not
exactly the line I Intended to write
upon. The soarolty of money, its
cause and the cure is my subject.
I am not far wrong when I say that
$23,000 in oool, hard cash leaves Athens
per month in payment for purchases
of middling meat. It would notbe an
extravagant extimate to place - the
amount that leaves the oity annually for
this one article at $300,000 to $350,000.
Suppose these $25,000 were being de
posited to our several banks monthly,
in the p’aoe of being oheoked out,
woul^ there be any general stringency
in our money matters? Would there
not be really more money here than
this community could use? Tha re
moval of this larg-) amount per annum
from our banks can be stood with no
serious inconvenience from September
15di to April 15:h. But to draw from
the banking capital of the community
$25,000 per month from April 16th to
September 15th, would take away
$126,000 that we do not get in again
before December or January and this
too, for the one item of middling meat.
Now for a^ltle speculative reason
ing, concede for the sake of argument
that it is impracticable entirely, for
the South to raise her own meat. Is it
equally impracticable for the people to
consume less than than they do? Sup
pose the people of Clarke oounty—of
Georgia—of the South would buy no
meat for the months of June, July and
Augus, but would live on milk, vege
tables and fruit with whatchiokena and
fresh meat they might raise at home,
what would be the result? It would
simply in round numbers mean $75,000
for Clarke county; $1,600,000 for the
State and $10,000,000 for the Sonth
This immense earn saved with little
secrifice in the short space of three
months.
Throw such a pressure as ours ot to
day into Sootland and Ireland and the
brown loaf of tbe one country and the
potato of the other would soon dispose
of the trouble.
Is tbls visionary ?
if the invasion of the gold reserve of
the Uaited States treasury to the extent
of $10,000,020 creates throughout this
vast dominion a nervous feeling, how
much nearer home should the nervous
ness come when we reflect that the
poorest section of the country spends
for one article of diet, In three monthri
more than the amount indicated above.
It will not do to say that almost any
other one article might be taken, and
with the same reasoning, the same oon.
elusions woald be reached. For the
simple fact that no other one article
costs as much aa meat, and no otber
artiole is sold so exclusively on credit.
An elaboration of the foregoing facts
might lead to some good result, at any
rate, so far as I have gone, I don’t feel
that I have done any violence either to
the diotatea of common sense or the
principles of political economy.

of Athena—contributing with its other
superb institutions of 1-jarntog, to give
Athens tha honored name it bears—that
cf the Giassio City.
A year of hard and faithful labor on
the part of both pupils and teachers
the irksome labors of. the school room
are now laid aside for the muoh needed
rest.
Not too much can ha said of the man

ame Sosnowski and her faithful corps
of tesobeis.
They are peculiarly well qualified for
the work, and the entertainment of last
evening was in itself abundant proof of
their energy and toil.
Tbe concert of last evening was lis
tened to by quite ^ large number of
friends and patrons of the iohool, and
was pronounoed one of the most enjoy
able entertainments ever given in the
Clssslo City.
