implicating his sweetheart, Deli
lah Eales in the murder of Jerome
Kern and has confessed to being
her willing dupe and accomplice,
He Bays be loved her.
He had no particular enmity
against bis father, save that bis
father objected to Miss Faies,
They had no disagreement, and
lived in harmony beneath the
same roof.
It was the strength of hie
fascination for the woman who
tempted him, hewever, that she
unfolded to him the details of a
plot to slay both his parents, take
posessicn of their little property
and get married he consented to
ass'st in the slaughter
A plot was ’aid up to lure Jero
me Kern into the timber and then
make away with him. The mur
der cf the mother was to be ac
comp'ifihed at a latsr date.
On the morning of the murder
she elder Kern was induced to
leave tbe bouse. Miss Faies lay
in wa't for him and after engage
mg the unsuspecting man in con
versation fimd the falal shot.
According to young Kern’s con
ifession, tbe two then saturated
the clothing of the dead man witq
oil set fire ‘o th<m, the object
being to conceal the manner in
which he died. He alleges that the .
oil can and revolver were buried
by the Faies woman in the woods.
Kern was made to confess
through the work of detectives
who induced a young man to
haunt him in the guise of the
ghost of the murdered father.
The ghost worked on the young
man’s ne r ves to such an extent
that he finally weakened.

ROME GEORGIA, FRIDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 3 1897
THE CONVICTS
legislative committee
4FORMULATED A BILL.
RFORMS INCORPORATED
\\ ill he Reported and Acted on
AT ONCR.
This morning’s Constitution
says;
1 he new convict b.ll, which was
adopted by the committee of
eleven at a late hour last night
and which die houss is pledged to
pass, will pr. ve today one of the
biggest surprises ever sprung upon
the Georgia legislature. It incor
porates every feature that the
house ordered it to incorporate
when it answered tbe Brannen
catechism and adopted the Bran
nen resolution, but it goes much
further than that, and includes
maty of the reform features of
the Hall bill with none of the ob
jectionable provisions which made
that measure unpopular when it
was first i itroduced.
The new bill is by no means a
re-enactmant of the old lease. It
provides for the hiring out of con
victs for short terms, but so hedg
es the system about with stafe
control that every convict camp
is to be a little penitentiary by
itself, absolutely owned and man
aged by the state.
It provides for a central peni
tentiary for the women and the
o’d men and a reformatory for the
boys.
It makes it necessary to equip
stockades with separate Cr>Us lor
each able-bodied convict, and di
rects a separate employment, so
far as possible, of the white and
blacks
It gives the state the right to in
spect misdemeanor convicts and
to remove them from county au
thorities wheneuer the law is being
violated.
COMMITTEE PROMPT TO MEET.
By answering the remaining
questions of the Brannen catechism
yesterday the house decided that
the penitentiary department un
der the new system should con
sist of three com missionere, to be
elected by tbe people as other state
officers are now elected.
The only disagreement among
the members as to the letter
clause, a number hold'iig that
the governor should have the
right to appoint. As was predicted
in The Constitirion yesterday
morning, hovaver, the majority
did not take this view of the case,
In compliance with the Brannen
resolution Speaker Jenkins ap
pointed the following committee,
one from each eongressional dis
trict to draw up a bill on the plan
outlined. »,
The committee met last night
at the capital and completed the
b.ll! They aggreed to make the
terms of the commissioners six
years, but disputed for some time
as to the amount of salary
the majority finally fixing it at
{2,000. The bill will be ready tor
presentation tomorrow morning.
WITH THE REGULARITY’ OF A
CLOCK.

ONE MAN AND IIIS GUN
LAYS OUT 2 BPOTHERS.

An Entire Community Wrought
L’p To Fever Pitch.
Nashville, Ark., Dec. 3.—De
tails of a terrible .street duel at
Horatio, In which one man wfb
killed ou'iight and ansther fatally
wouudt d,reached here today.
Tbe dead man is Dr. Smith, a
prominent practing physician ot

of Horatio and a brother of tbe
dead doctor.
The killing was done by W . W.
Mill wee, also of Horatio one of
the wealthiest men in the town,
aud a man noted for hie fearless
and bravery.
The tragedy was ’the culmina
tion of a feud of long standing,
and owing to the prominence of
tbe parties, it is believed that the
feud wdl be continued by some of
their numerous friend and adher
ents, and that mce blood wilf be
shed before the aflair is settled.
Miliwee and Dr. Smith were
mortal enemies, and the bad threat
ened to kill each at sight. Frierds
for a time prevented a meeting
: between the two men, as they felt
certain that guns would be used,
but they were not prepared for the
feat ul trigedy which occured.
Millwee and Dr, Smith met ’u
f;ont of the Locke hotel, Dr.
Smitvv was just emerging fiom tbe
hotel as M.l'wee w»s crossing tbe
street, coming in that direction.
Both men quicklj drew their wea
pons and opened fir# ahnpst si
multaneously. Several shots were
exchanged. Smith receiving a
wound in the left, arm at Millwee’s
first shot, He continued the battle
■however, and only gave up the
contest when he sank to the
ground dead with a bullet through
i his heart.
I J . J. Smith came to his broth
'er’s assistance just as the fatal
bullet fired and drew his pistol
en Millwee.
Hie weapon snapped, however,
and Miilwee, turning hie atten
tion to the brother sent a bullet
crashing into his head. That en
ded the battle for the time, but
there is much excitement over
the terrible affair.
J. J. Smith will die.
