lie presents a Most Pitable
Sight
A WHITE CAP OUTRAGE.
Report'd From Murry County, Wb'p
ped Tnmercltully Shot Three Times
and Thrown Into a pit and Left lor
Days
Deputy Marshals Wright and
Maulding, of Dalton, and Sheriff
Carter, of Murray, came to Atlan
ta yesterday to make some arrange
ments for the arrest of the white
caps who made the attack upon
Roper last Monday.
Their account of the deed, and
the suffering of the unfortunate
victim shows it to be one of the
most atrocious and appalling
crimes ever perpetrated in the
state, Yesterday morning »s soon
ns the details of the ail'air became
known the excitement in. revenue
circles was intense.
A posse of deputies was organ
ized and sent up on the afternoon
train. They arriveed iu Dalton
last night and went out at once to
the scene of the attack. All of the
deputies are w'ell armed and de
termined to exert evrry effort to
capture the desperadoes.
There were only five men in the
gang, but as to whether they were
recognized by Roper there, is a
deff.erenee iu opinion. When first
found he stated that past before j 1
■ casting him in the shaft his as- j
sails.n t s detrTed their diguises,
thinking that he would not live to,
tell the tale, and that he plainly
recognized each of tkem.
To Deputy Marshall Tom Wright,
who went over to see him Sunday
afternoon, he said that the uea
kept their masks an. all the taicne
and that he had tie idea who <they
were. It is thought by B<M*ie that
Roper knows whethu meu are but,
althoiagh in a dy<ing conditaau, is
afraid to give thalr names.
Roper was found late Saturday
afteFEOon andeiuce then hats stead
ily grown weaker. Ho is .not ex
pected to live, bat asyet t&s made
no statement implicating anyone-
The deputy marshal thinks, how—;
ever., that when assured cf protec—'
tiofi he will snake a efatemenb
-» Jx r»t.» r 1 It l-» .N Iza n4T i w
inoEt the whole attair.
Said one of the men who had
jeon Roper yesterday: ‘I never
mew a more dastardly deed, al— ’
though I have lived m the hot-bed.,
of the white caps for thirty years,
and 1 never saw a more horrible,
sight than the body of Will Roper .
when they were carrying him
home from the pit where he was
found. I
“I know Roner weV. He is al
young man, about twenty-one ori
twenty-two years old, and has been
living in Murray all his life.
Some time age there was a moo r
shine case before Coatmissioner
Hamilton, ot Da'ton, and he was
called upon to testify. His evide nee
was against the defendants and they
were bound over.
GUARANTEED LARGEST .SIZE ’MADE, i '
A few days adder that s. warning
was sent him, feigned by the skull
and cnossbones of the white caps,
telling him to leave the ’country at
once. or he was a doomed ma n. lio
per paid no attention to it.aud well
on to his work .
“Last Monday night, at about
12 o’clock, five men called at hie
house and ordered him out. As
soon as they got him out he was
bound and gagged. They put him
on a mule and started out for
Cohutta mountain. This is the
moat desolate place in these re
gions. On one side of the moun
tain a number of deep pits have
been dug at different times by
men who were prospecting for cop
per veins. It was at one of these
pits that ‘he gang halted with Ro
per. After making him pray and '
suit they began towhip him ,
Each man took his turn and by
the time the fifth had finished
Roper's back was a mass of bleed
ing fb j fh. He was ly ng on the
igroundwith his hands tied ex
hausted bleeding iu a hundred
different places and almost dead
Then they went off a little dis
tance from him and each one tried
J)is ujarkinfttiship at R iper’s prog
tra'e (oral.
Five shots were fired but only
three struck him, One bullet
lodged iu his Head another shat
tered his arm and the other grazed
his leg,
All of them thought he was
■ dead and they Cast him, inte the
pit which is about sixty feet deep
There he remsi ed from Monday
night until Saturday afternoon
when one of the farmers r>f the
cut'll uije ui him in. 1111 hr tS 01 UIV
neighborhood passing !>y heard
his groans ami pulled him out.
Roper regained consciousness the
next day and from tnat time until
taken our he has never slept a wink
If it had not been far a little grass
which was growing dt Hie bottom oi
the pit and an ulu fog which had I'd
leti down there he. would have never
lived. The log was rotten and a little
moisture had iu it. This
quenched his thirst to some extent
Roper is very weak and I don’t ’hiuk
that lie can. live ’’
