Committed in a hut Down at
Seney
AN UNKNOWN YOUNG MAN
lured to the house and BRAINED
BY AN UNKNOWN HAND. THE YOUTH-
FUL VICTIM BEEMID OF REBPKTA
blk family thfmuhde a pro
found MYSTERY
Last night at 7 o’clock, T. M.
Drennon Floyd’a veteran coroner,
left for Seney,Ga. where he had been
Simmoneed on official business.
Coroner Drennon empannelled a
jury aud there in the floorless cabin,
over the mutilated body of the re
mains of the youthful victim he and
his jury spent the greater part of |he
night examining witnesses.
The scene of the crime was in a
hut abjut 400 yards from the busi*
ness section of Seney, Ga and was
about 250 yards south of the railroad.
Ihe body was found yesterday by
two colored women who spread the
news Coroner Drennon of Rome was
summoned and the inquest followed.
The remains were those of a nice
ooking, boardless boy of 18 or 20
years measuring 5 feet 8 in. and
weighing about 140 pounds-
He was dressed in a dark suit:
coat, pants and vest aud wore a pair
of new No. 9 ‘-gaitor” shoes, a peg
; igee shu t with dark stripes, a pair
of red suspenders and a No. 7 crush
bat branded “De Soto” The hat was
o. good material but was ‘‘sunburnt.”
In his pockets was found a 5 cent
handkerchief and a s'lveroid open
face watch, Plan Watch Co. make,
case No. 1,800,701 and works No.

low number. The crystal was badly
cracked. Nothing else was found in
the pockets.
Lying on the dirt floor of the hut
was found a satchel made of table oil
cloth and about the size of a large
school satchel. The straps were mis
sing, but the satchel contained two
linen bosom white shirts, soiled
The shirt he wore was new—still
having the merchants marks on the
flap. The clothing of deceased wa s
examined minutely but no trace of a
name could be found nor was there
a single clue discovered bv which his
identity could be established.
Thar the youth had been mur
dered, there could bene doubt, for
his head bad been crushed and
beaten in with some heavy in
strument and his life blood had
uczed out through a number of
wounds.
Sixteen witnesses were called
and after they had been closely
examined the mystery seemed
more dense than ever. No one
could be found who had ever seen
the stranger before.
After exhausting every avenue
of information, the Jury returned
the verdict below—and thus in
a dirt floored B hovel in the far away
mountains ends the life of some
mothers darling boy—crushed,
maugled, and cut off from the
earth, his life blood seaking into
the cold hungry soil, while the
fiend who committed the crime for
a Jfew paltry dollars, made off
throuh the night winds ot the
darkened forest.
Who was the victim thus piti
lessly murdered while perhaps
toiling homeward to pour in the
lap of his mother the wages or his
honest toil? Who was the red
handed fiend who struck that pit
hless blow?
In an unknown grave, tender
hands have laid the boyish form,
and though from stranger eyes,
yet on that mound, bitter tears
have wet new turned sod aud ach
ing hearts beat for him overtaken
by such cruel rate, and aching, yet
they feel a deeper pang far the liv
ed ones who wait and watch aud
GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE,
hope for the coming of him who
will never again their eyes.
THE VKMIICT.
State of Georgia, Floyd County.,
June 21st, 1894.
We the jury summoned to ex
amine into the cause of the death
of an unknown white ruan, found
dead on the evening of the 20th of
June, (last evening,) in the town
of Seney, at the outer edge of the
corporation, by Emma Burges auo
Lucinda Thompson, col; after
hearing all the testimony, having
first carefully examined the body
by Drs. J. S. Mitchell and J. H
Harris in presence of the jury,
give this as our verdict that un
known diseased came to his death
by murder, by parties unknown
by either witnesses or jury. We
found divers wounds upon the
head which we believe to be dead
ly, and recieved by deseased be
fore his death, and by which he,
in our judgement, came to his
death, There was much blood on
and about the deseased. It is our
opinion that deceased had been
dead forty-eight hours perhaps
when found.

Here’s one of the beftfitetwe <
the present campaign, told by the

‘The enthusiasm of tk-e Evsbi l

on Saturday night as actually to
boil over. In fact, their action
were such that if the kix&wn con

been known it might hare been
inspected that they had

Anyuuw, they secured the uegn»

they succeeded in driving sietp
from some who bad sought sleep ay

wives whose husbands were not at

when they were brought to a eudde n
dampening sense of the enormity of
their offence aud took a bee hue for

went in and sat down on the porch
taking off their hats to wipe then
brows fevered with too much glory.
Tg them, iu the height of their

denly the lady of the house out

Che stream about the size of three
fingers, took the fellows on the
poarch in the back of the ueclr and
they tumbled off.
The holder ot the nozxel ran
down the path and shut off escape
by the gate, and then turned the
hose alternately on both sides till,
everybody iu the crowd had jump

A second of the stream was enough
to wet every body to the bone, while
one spurt down the born of the col
ored leader nearly drowned him with,
more water than he had seen at one
time In all his life. One man unable
to escape, fell prone and cried • ‘'l’m
an Atkinson man! I’m an AtHasos
man!” But the lady believing in no
such sudden conversions, continued
until the fellow actually had to swim
out to get away.
The crowd took it all good na
turedly, knowing that they deserved
it, and stood at a safe distance and
begged for their hats. When they
were finally thrown out to them they
turned their soggy footsteps home

in the middle of the road picking up
handkerchiefs with which the would
