The announcement by Governor Joseph M. Brown that he would
be in the race for the Governorship was published in the newspapers of
Sunday and was as follows:
“"Believing. as I always have, that your highest office should be
protected in the dignity that inherently attaches to it, I have till this date
declined to make any statement as to my candidaey to fill any part of a
term for which you have eiected another. But as Governor Smith has
made definite declaration of his intention to resign, I now feel it my duty
to respond to the calls of thousands of my friends, and of many of our
other fellow citizens in every part of the state, who have formerly op
posed me, and hereby announce that I have determined to be a candidate
in the pending Democratic primary for Governor of Georgia.”’
Governor Brown’s platform will be announced later. His po
sition on the liquor question will be of special interest. Hon. Pope
Brown is a prohibitionist, and Hon. DuPont Guerry threatens to run on
that platform. Plain Dick Russell is running as a local optionist. It is
reported that Governor Brown is opposed to changing the law at this
time.
bRADY JORNSON INSTANTLY KILLED
BY NEGRD WOMAN AT BELMONT FARM
ENTIRE TOP OF HEAD BLOWN
OFF WITH SHOTGUN.
Celia Thomas, Who Killed Him, Says
It was an Accident—She is in
Jail, Held for Murder.
Grady Johnson, son of Mr. J. P.
Johnson, who lives on the Austell
road between Fairoaks and Austell,
four miles from the city was shot
and instantly killed Thursday night
by Celia Thomas, colored cook for
Mr. J. Gid Morris at Belmont.
The killing occurred in the house
occupied by the woman in the vard
of Mr. Morris’ residence and she
says it was an accident.
Celia Thomas is a young negro
woman and not married. She weighs
apparently about one hundred and
forty pounds, is of a dark, ‘‘ginger
cake’’ color and at one time lived in
Marietta. Mr. Morris says she has
been with him since last spring and
has been the best servant he has had
in twenty-five years. Persons who
knew the woman in Marietta say
she had to move on account of her
character.
Grady Johnson who was almost
twenty-one years old attended John
Robinson’s eircus Thursday night in
company with J. T. Sanders and
Leon Bizzell, who were his neighbors.
They seem to have met the negro
woman at the circus and instead of
going home in their buggy left it in
Marietta and went to Belmont with
the woman, leaving Marietta on the
ten o’clock car. Messrs Sanders and
Bizzell say they went along to take
care of Mr. Johnson, who, they
assert was drinking, but the woman
denies that young Johnson was
under the influence of whisky. ‘
Messrs. Sanders and Bizzell say
they waited at the corner of Mr.
Morris’ yard while Johnson went
into the woman’s house and in four
or five minutes they went in intend
ing to take him away by force.
They say he was sitting on the edge
of the bed and when they were try
ing to induce him to go with them
the woman seized a single barrelled
shot gun and told Johnson she would
shoot him; that they saw the gun
was cocked and told the woman to
lookout and be careful. One of them
reached for the gun which was at
that instant discharged, the load
taking effect in Johnson’s forehead
and tearing off the entire top of his
head.
Messrs. Sanders and Bizzell say
they fled at the terrible sight. They
went home, went to bed and told
no one of the killing. It is reported
that later in the night, when tele
phoned to, they denied knowing
anything of the affair.
The woman went to Mr. Morris’
residence, awoke him and told him
she had killed a man who had broken
into her house. Later she was placed
in jail, where she has since said the
shooting was an aceident.
It is evident that in the excite
ment following the terrible tragedy
those who had gotten into the
trouble did not know what to say or
do. At the Coroner’s inquest the
woman said she did not know why
she shot Johnson, that she ‘‘just shot
him.”
Investigation shows that the facts
were not as at first reported. The
street car reached Belmont at fifteen
