STILL.AT LARGE Dean, the Black Fiend who Mur dered Farmer Leigh EVADES HIS PERSURERS Miss Willie, the Brave little Woman Whos shot gun saved her own and the lives and honorof her mother and sister. Newnan, Ga., Dec. 4—Joe Dean, the fiend who slaughtered old man Leigh Saturday night, is still at large and the horrible crime is yet unavenged. No clue has yet been obtained to the negro and many are now apprehensive of his complete es cape. There are some reasons for believeing that after he crossed the river hw mounted a horse and if that be true he had abundant time to get out of reach before the alarm was spread. The battered face of the old man caused the wildest feeling to pre vail, and had the negro been found the hottest fire would net have been hotenough for him. Mr. Leigh was highly respected and Voved by i allwhofcnew him. His remains! were laid to rest tod at at New. Hope church. Miss Willie, the' hr ive young woman who defended her hosne, her mother, her sister and their honor, is suffering very much from the wotltwi on the ■Hide of her face. She is erne of the m ost charming h dies in this sections, of the state, sud a graduate of the Newnan schools. She is receiving every attention. Mr, ILekgh had a habit of answer, ing wbtm called at a distance, which wa-s known by all who knew the gentleman. After th* killing and while the ladies wee giving the alarm, some «»e answered just a* Mr. L*agh wit* an the hnfeet of do* ing.

He was followed toefire boat and the boat was found m the river near where some ooe landed. The foot marks at the landing correspou ten with foot marks about the dead body, but th're were no evidences that the negro had either approached the boat or left the other side the river with a horse, and yet it has been report ed here that he was seen on the other side of the river riding a horse. There is prevalent a belief that Dean had an aeeempl ce, but so far no evidence has been secured 1 to establish it.
