TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.
ttnhannon and His Accomplices Sawed Seven
liars Hut Were Foiled.
Dalton, (Ja., (let. 21.—Hohnnnon and
his accomplices were caught last night
in an attempt to break,jail. They had
obtained a small steel saw and had ent
seven l ars in two. They had three more
to ent to get to the brick wall.
An hour’s work would have let them
ent of the cage. They did most of their
work while it was raining so hard.
The prisoners in the cage appeared to
be very jolly and sang for an hour. The
singing was to drown the noise of the
saw. Jailer W. (i. Tankcrsly became
alarmed and kept cose watch.
He heard the saw going for a little
while. As soon ns the night guard came
on lie started a search. The prisoners
had filled in the sawed liars with tallow
and had hid their saw. He gave them
a stiff talk and told Bohannon to pro
duce the saw. Bohannon was inclined
to put the responsibility on the others,
hut they would not have it. So Bo
hannon lifted Sam Painter up on his
shoulders and Painter pulled the saw
from a crack in the wall behind the
cage. Bohannon was very much taken
aback by the discovery. He has evi
dentlv been counting on getting away
in a few nights.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to lie in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a. bad ease of hi grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Chain-
herluin’s Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satis
factory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magicand
the result was a speedy and i>eramueiit
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold
in any form.—The Baum r of Liberty,

WAS A PECULIAR TRAGEDY.
(birr Pinson, of Newnan. and tne Tragic Dcatb
He Het.
Newnan, Ga., Oct. 21.—An unusual
tragedy was enacted on the streets of
Newnan last night. Shortly after 8
o’clock three pistol shots were fired and
Garr Pinson was found lying on the
sidewalk near Sattcrwhite & Lane's
stables with a bullet hole in his right
temple. Blood was flowing in a steady
stream from the ghastly wound, and
the vonng man was gasping as if in the
last throes of death. The only witness
to the trag-dy wrs Luther Fulli r,
a companion and friend of the
young man, who made the following
statement regarding the killing : Pinson
and Fuller were together when suddenly
Pinson drew a pistol from his hip pocket
and told Fuller he intended to kill him
(Fuller). Fuller says he caught Pinson
and endeavored to prevent him from
using the pistol, lint that Pinson finally
twisted his hand around and fired tit
him point blank, the ball passing
through his (Fuller's) clothing and mak
ing a slight flesh wound in the left side.
Fuller says that wheii he felt the shot he
broke away and that Pinson fired two
more shots, lx>th of which he supposed
were aimed at him (Fuller).
He offers no other theory of the kill
ing than that Pinson himself fired the
fatal shot that took away his life.
Pinson died at !• :30 o'clock.
Fuller was placed under arrest by
Sheriff Brown and will Is* held for ex
amination. Pinson's friends will insist
upon a thorough investigation. Both
young men are abont grown and lie-
long to excellent families.
There is much excitement over the
affair.
Tliose who believe chronic diarrhoea
to Is* incurable should read wlmt Mr, P.
E. Grisham, of Guars Mills. La., has to

a sufferer from chronic dinrrlinea ever
since, tin 1 war and have tried all kinds of

Nashville, Teuu., Oct. 21.—For years
past a heavy debt has hung over the
board of missions of the Methodist Epis

in this city.
About two years ago Rev. Dr. Henry
C. Morrison, one of the missionary sec
retaries, inaugurated a movement to pay
off this debt, and today he had the satis
faction of announcing that subscriptions
have been received to the amount of.
$150,000, which will wipe out every cent
.of the debt. *

King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in onr home, as in
it we have a certain and ' sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc.”
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on ypu hs
just as good as Dr. King’s New Discov

remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

The Whitehead case will reach the
jury by noon.
The evidence is all in and the argu
ment is well under way.
When court met yesterday morning,
at the instance of Col. Brown, the de
fense’s witnesses were called in, sworn
and pat under the rule.
Judge J. B. Estes then stated to the
jury the position taken by the defense in
the case. First, that under the circum
stances it was impossible for Ware to
recognize the voice of Whitehead; sec
ondly, that there was no motive on the
pint of Whitehead; and thirdly, that a
a great deal of State’s testimony • had
lx-en manufactured to fit the case.
David Malcolm testified that he saw
Ware on the evening he was shot. Wit
ness was at the wood-pile and heard
Ware halloaing. When he got nearer
Ware was crying “Lord have mercy."
Told witness to stop his horses.* Witness
ran abont seventy-five yards and stop
ped them. Said Ware told him he was
shot. Witness asked him who had shot
him, and he said he didn’t know. Tliat-
night witness was at Ware’s but Ware
never told who shot him.
On the cross-examination he was al
lowed to state that liis feelings towards
Ware were bad, over the objection of
the defense.
Air. D. H. Afnlcolm saw Dr. Ware on
the same evening he was shot. Witness
was sent for by Dr. Ware. Found him
sitting in rocking chair. Told witness
he had been shot. Said some low down
scoundrel had shot him down the road.
Told witness he saw neither gnu nor
smoke, that'he fell over in the buggy
when shot, and that the horses ran
away. Said he didn’t know who shot
him.
On cross-examination stat&T that ill
feelings existed between him and. Dr.
Ware.
Jacob Wilson Brooks, commonly called
“Coon” Brooks, was at Ware’s house
after he was shot. Heard him say to
some one in the room, “I do not know
who shot me.”
On cross-examination said he didn’t
know who was in the room.
Mrs. Snsan Malcolm said she was wife
of David Malcolm, saw Ware the night
after he was shot. Heard him tell Dr.
Caritliers he didn’t know who had shot
him ; that be didn’t- see anyone. .
Sheriff Overby said .he .was sheriff of
Oconee county at the time the crime
was committed. Was sent for morning
after. Went with Calvin Johnson to
Dr. Ware’s for the purpose of obtaining
information that,would lead to the ar
rest of the guilty parties. Said Ware
mentioned the two Whiteheads, Jim
Strickland, Ben Kidd as persons whom
he suspected. Ware said noting to him
abont recognizing Whitehead’s voice.
On cross-examination said the two
Whiteheads, Strickland, aud a negro
were arrested; that Whitehqpd’s was
the nearest house to the ambnsh; that
none of the Whiteheads were at the am
bnsh the next day, aud that he found no
tracks in the gully.
Mr. Calvin Johnson saw Ware at his
house the day after he was shot. Went
there in the capacity of a newspaper
man. Ware didn’t tell witness who
shot him, bnt impressed him as having
very strong suspicions. Said nothing
about recognizing the voice. Witness
saw Whitehead ploughing in his field.
Mr. Frank Haygood saw Ware ten
days after he was shot at the latter’s
home. Sat np with him nearly all
night. Ware told witness he fell over
in the buggy after he was shot, and
scarcely# knew anything. Didn’t say
anything about recognizing Whitehead’s
voice.
Mrs. Evie Jones, daughter of Jesse J,
Whitehead, said she was at home when
Ware was shot. Saw Dr. Ware pass the
house, and at same time saw her- father
and mother hoeing cotton in the field.
Saw them come in from the field. Also
saw Martin Payne going, the same way
Ware went.
On cross-examination said her father
had agon. Didn’t know whether it was
a shotgun or rifle. Said she found ont
that Dr. Ware was shot next meaning.
Her father told her, but didn’t say who
told him. „
The testimony of Will Seeley (de
ceased) given at a former trial was read
by Col. Tuck. It wps to the effect that
Seeley came by Whitehead’s on the day
of the shooting and ■ saw Whitehead in
his field ploughing.
Mr. P. W. Jonas said he was working
on the Alitchell. Hill bridge in 1889,
Saw Whitehead pass there. Don’t re
member who was with him. Didn’t see
any gnu, or hear anything said abont
one. ,
Mr. Tom Cheeley met Whitehead in
Athens." Witness was on foot and
Whitehead offered to go out of "his way
to let him ride. Passed Alitchell hill
bridge. Said Whitehead had no gun.
Witness heard nd conversation about
using gun.
On cross-examination said this was
the first time he had ever been a witness
in the case. Had probably talked with
Whitehead abont the case.
Jim Wills, (colored) the evening
Ware was shot saw Whitehead bringing
the males home. Whitehead was bare
footed. This was between sundown
and dark.
Mr. Frank Griffeth said Bill Smith
came to see him privately at his office
aud told him he knew something abont-
this shooting. Bill said he was over
near the place with Bob Sims, when a
colored man came by with a gun in his
hand and said: “I have shot Air.
Ware.” Witness had known Bill Smith
all his life. Said Smith could write
good hand, had been examined by school
board several times, and had gotten first
class license.
On cross-examination said lie had not
been in Watkinsville at every trial.
Judge Thrasher, ono of the defend
ant’s counsel was here bnt on the stand.
He testified that after Whitehead had
been convicted the second time, Bill
Smith came to him one uftemoou and
said he hud had a talk with Mr. Grif
fith, wllo told him Whitehead’s attor
neys ought to know these things.
Smith told witness what be. would
swear. Witness brought him to Athens
to the office of Mr. Geo. D. Thomas,
and they agreed that affidavits shonld
be taken.
Witness took Smith to Squire Hays in
Buncombe District aud wrote affidavits.
Wrote them according to Smith’s dic
tation, if Smith was drunk wituiss didn’t
know. Saw no evidence of intoxication.
Whitehead (lakes His Statement,
At this point the defendant made his
statement, standing and without notes:
^“The day Ware was“shot I was hoeing
cotton back of my lionse. I saw Ware
go by in a two horse buggy. I don’t
know who shot him. I didn’t hear of it
till next day. Eob Griffeth first told
me. Afterwards"Air. Russell.
I never saw MeGaugliey at tlie still-
house. Never played ball with him in
my life. Haven’t played ball in twenty-
one years. That day I was iii Athens
and bonglit me a two-liorse wagon
Alet Tom Seeley and went out of my
way to carry him home. Tins was
abont the only time I went home by
that route. Saw Spratling at the bridge,
bnt never spoke to him. Had no such
conversation with Norris he gave. I
never fell out with Ware abont cotton
seed. I never saw Bill Spratling till he
came to the court house. There is not a
ward of truth in what he said.
Will Gordon came to my house once
told . him my brother said some one
had popped a cap abont his house. Told
him I had-a pistol anil-a gnu, showed
him the pistol. Told him Ware was
the only enemy I had, and that big
negro Bill Dean would do anything he
told him. I watched around the house
two or three nights as I thought I had a
right to. I went to see Spratling at the
factory. Told him what I heal'd he was
going to swear against- me. Think I
called him liar.
At the conclusion of the defendant’s
statement Martin Payne was put on the
stand. Saw Ware the day he 'was shot.
At same time, saw Whitehead in tlie
field along with liis brother and wife.
Witness was on his way to Bob Grif
fith’s. Here the defense rested aud
court adjourned for dinner.
. The State In Rebuttal.
In the afternoon Dr. Ware was pat on
stand liy state in rebuttal.
Witness didn’t meet Mr. Seeley on the
afternoon of the shooting. Never met
Martin Payne.
On erttss-examiuation by Judge Estes
witness said as he was passing ambush
he* momentarily expected to be shot, and
was praying at the time. Was asked
if he had just ceased praying when he
reached down to get his pistol to shoot
the negro who was laughing at him.
Witness said he had.
Dr. Ware said Whitehead was in debt
to him aud he held back bale of cotton.
On the next morning he discovered that
the bale was gone; went to Whitehead’s
and saw it on his wagon. Told him it
was his and to carry it hack. Charlie
Whitehead called witness a damn liar.
Jesse said: “Damn .yon if yon say I
stole it, I’ll kill yon.” Witness rode ont
into the road intending 'to. go and get
ont an attachment. N Called again to
them tQ carry “ back his cotton. They
told witness if he would get down they
would whip him. Witness then got out
of his buggy. Charlie Whitehead hit
him with rock and Jessie picked one np
also. Witness" drew his knife and
Charlie ran into a fence corner. Wit
ness foreclosed landlord’s lien, and was
successful in all the other legal steps he
took fof redress.
The opening argument for . the state
was made by. Judge George C. Thomas.
Judge Estes followed for the defense,
speaking one hour. He will conclude
his speech this morning, after which
Col. E. T. Brown will close for the state.
