TWIGSS PEOPLE
JUSTLY INDIGNANT OVER
the maudlin fentinent.
UTTERE DFORMRSNOBLES
•ini Hot Ramarks From a Twiggy
County Man.
Macon, Ga., Dec. 13.—“1f Mrs.
Nobles doesn’t hang, it will take
a regiment us soldiers to hung.
Hus Fumbles the negro who was
her accomplice in the crime” said
a prominent citizen of Twiggs
county lhis aftnrnoon.
Ido not say this rashly. 1
measure my words when 1 say it,
and 1 am speaking the sentiment
of the beet white citizens of
Twiggs county They believe
Gus Famb.es ought to hang, but
(hwy believe first of all Mrs. No
bles ought to hang. If Mrs.
Nobles is spared capital punish
ment on the ground of fanatical
sentimentality, the state had as
well make ready to bring soldiers
to Twiggs county by companies
prepaied for shooting if an at
tempt is made to hung «us Fum
bles has been saved irom the gal
lows, and these soldiers had best
bring more than one round of am
munation when they come. There
has been too much delay in this
mut'er already. There has been
one lynching here since the
quibering over the Nobles case
has been in progress and it was
due solely to this delay of the law.
I was one of the men who stood
before the howling mob rhe night
old man Nobles body was found
and begged them to disperse and
let the law take its course prom
ising them the law would mete
out speedy pun.shment for the
obj cts of their wrath. If the
whole th'i g had to be gone over
again I would not say a word but
'et the lynchers get in their work
on the guilty parties for I have
seen what it meins to trust to
courts lor its justice.
When 1 sa- this I atn not re-
Ib-ctiog fn the people of Twiggs
chunty «s a lawless people. On
the contrary I am speaking of
them as people who are det°rmin
etl to uphold the law, pledging
themselves for the protection of
thir homes, their lives and prop
erty, against the quibbles of
lawye.s for the purpose of de
lay
“The fact that Mrs. Nobles is a
woman does not entitle her to
conederation, since she is a crim
inal of the most pronounced type:
Shu is a confessed murderer an
arch-conspirator who induced a
weak minded negro hireling by
bibery and duress to commit the
crime of assisting her in the mur
der of her husband.' Fociety wom
en of the cities who seek to inter
fere with the enforcement cf the
criminal litigation of I wigs coun
ty, throng a game of silly
sentiment, will breed trouble for
tin stuteif they don’t mied. The
crime of Mrs. Noble has b«en hor
ror of the neighborhood ever since
it was committed. Ihe peopl
cannoN rest easy until it has been
aveged. A shudder |comes
with the thought of it and the
frightful dangerous question—
What are our laws worth.
The man who said these thing
is one of the most prominent
citizens of Twiggs county and one
of the most couserva ive citiz ens
as well. The remittur. from the
United States supreme court in
i he Nobles case is expected eager
ly in Jeffersonville every day.,
The minute it comes, Judge Smith
will be notified that the resentenc
ing of Mrs. Nobles is ia order.
He will probably resentence her
to be hanged within twenty days
which ia the minimum limit of
time allowed for a hanging in
Georgia after the sentence.
If the governor is going to act
in the case he will have to come
to his discision right speed.ly.

SUNDAY MURDER
A STRANGER ASSASSINATED
last Night,
hotels bright light
Enabled The Am-assin* To Ta ks
Deadly Aim.
Amite City. La. , Lee. 13.
Almost before the sod had closed
over the grave of J.,e Reid, anoth
er assan-ination ia placed to the
record lor langiphoa parish.
at To’clock ir.
the full view by the hotel light,
S. B. Mullen, a stranger here,
was shot to death. He was stand
ing cn the hotel ga'lery and the
assassin shot him from behind
There were two shots fired, but
only one took effect. This
penetrated the center of the bipT
of the head and made its exit
just underlie righteye.
Death was alm :st instantaneous
He fell to tr«e steaps and rolled to
the ground, a distance of
four feet. Immediately a large
crowd congregatated and the great
est excitement prevailed.
Sheriff M. F. Edwards and Dep
n'.y Sheriff W. J. Mullens
were at once notified and soon
organ'zed a email posse and they
took up the trail whith tho blood
hounds and followed the guilty
parties.
Why Mullen was killed is as yet
a mystery. He is an entire s’/an
ger here and could haidly have
had any connections with any of
Hie murders hereabouts.
Mullen registered at the City
hotel at 8 o’clock last night as
coming from Harrisville. Simpson
county, Mississippi. II? is n man
of small stature, about forty years
of age and rather poorly dressed.
Hs claimed to have been a corres
pond' d for The Louisville Home
and Farm and was here for the
puipose writting up the agricul
tural possibilities cf this county.
He had just finished supper,
inquired about church, walked to
and looked over the register a sec
ond. pulled out his tobacco, open
ed the giass door that lead to the
gallery, took a step on th o gal
lery and two shots rang out ami
the man fell dead.
The man or men who did the
shooting must have been on the
gallery also, for the ball came
out on a level with the place where
it entered.
Some people are under the im
pression that the man had ene
mies at his home and they follow
ed him here and murdered him.
Others are of the opinion that the
was a detective had come here
for that purpose of working up
some case. Still many assert
that be was killed by mis'ake; but
the latter the ry can scarcely be
correct, as the men was stand
ing in full light when he received
the fatal shot,

Passed Away.
Canton. €>., Dec. IB—Mrs
Nancy Allison McKinley, the nge<
norherof tl e president died short
ly after 2 o’clock ytsterdaj morn
ing.
Almost two weeks had elapsed
since the stroke of paralvsis,which
was at once pronounced fa al, and
the wonderful vitality which had
<ept death at bay so long hud de
uded the friends and relatives in
to the belief that 'he aged woman
might perhaps recover despite the
verdict of her physician.
But unmistakable signs of ap
proaching dissolution were seen
early Saturday morning and a'
nightfall it was evident that death
must come before morning.
The demise of Mrs. McKinley
was painless. All night long the
members of the family were watch
ing and waiting for the time of
dissolution. From 11 o'clock until
the time of death the McKinley
house was quiet and shrouded in
a stillness that was suggestive of
the mournful sct j n p s within the
walls. No response could be ob
tained by messengers or reporters
who sought >o vain for news.
Shor.ly before midnight the at-
Umdents dis overed wha'r wejre
thought to be*certuin signs of die- i
solution.
