Mr. Cleveland has not consulted

. a Hellish deed, but is
thwarted. .
Nawnan, Ga , December 2.—A
story, bloody, heinous, revolting
and damnable was written iu the
history of Georgia thirteen miles
from here at midnight last night.
On the homestead of one of the
oldest, most prominent and popu
lar planters of Campbell county,
hfc was robbed of his life, an at
tempt was made to kill his wife,
the design of the assass n being an
assault upon the two daughters,
who would then have been alone in
I the house.
I But today a half-hundred of the
moat resolute men of Campbell
uid Coweta couuties are chasiag
the black fiend who has darkened
the criminal his.ory of the state,
and if he is found the highest tree
iad stoutest rope will bto his por
rion.
Tn the old homestead in which
Mr |A. 8.. Leigh has roded t< r
;years and years, his body is ru. .v
’r-sting upon the cooing boards,
| one of his daughters carries a pain
ful w-onnd upon one of her cheeks,
inflicted whi e she was bravely de- 1
femfc’.ng the life of her mother and ;
theihonor of herself mid sister, and!
that aged mother, beriavad by her
great lo s, is almost dead froan

"! at the door and when one of tbe
..r.iies answered the call Dean said:
•‘Mr. I nigh wants Mrs. Leigh to
come to l.ini. ”
The shoi'tiieks of the time after
Mr. L< igh’s departure and the
n -gro’s appearance caused his
-ta ement to. be doubted and
created alarm am- ng the ladies,
i'iiey questioned him about the
1,-gro'h illness and as they did s<.
Dean entered the house. As he
oirne in one'of the • aughters, Miss
Wiilie Leigh, a lady of seventeen
e ias, noticed that he was carry
ing a pistol in hi- lifthd. This caus
ed her mor- f.lalni and si q order
ed him t*leave the house.
Tiie negro bec inm insolent and
ihe girl seized a shot guo, and
t<>ld him t-i leave. He refried to
i,o so. ai.d she snapped, one barrel]
at him.
Then dm scoundrel pulled bi.-
pistql and fired at the l-rave girl,
but did not hit her. As he went ti
leave the house she fired on him,
but missed .
The m-igToprhoo I was ' then
urou ied and ssort ir afterward the
iioih’ <>l Mr. Leigh va* found cold

A determined wmxdi is being
