minutes after a hog squealing is
elevated it is make into pork ready

Greiger Will Get
A Small Fortune.
Young Man Who Is Finishing Two-Year Term on
Colquitt Chain Gang for Bigamy Is Remembered
by His Uncle.
Special From Moultrie to Hera'd
Says;- The fore part of next week,
when Owen Greiger finishes a two
year term on the Colquitt county
chain gang for bigamy, he will walk
into n .-o' II sum with which to be
gin life anew’. A Columbus attor
ney informed Greiger today that
his uncle at that place had died,
leaving Lim as a beneficiary in his
. will to the extent of $20,000.
Greiger was surprised but greatly
pleased with Ins good fortune. Ho
said that his uncle bad started him
in business on two occasions and
had always helped him when he
went on the rocks, but that he had
no idea that bo would be remem
bered in his will.
Greiger is a young man and is
well educated. He claims bis
downfall waedue todrink. Hesays
he was married and living happily
at Pooler, near Savannah. He
went to Albany on a business tris
and while there became intoxicated.
1 Restates that when he regained
possession of himself he was at
Columbus and (hat a young woman '
was with him. By questioning her
he learned that he had married her *
nt Albany and that her home was
al Poulan. Greiger states, how
ever, that he didn’t believe that he
had really married the woman and
he left her al Columbus. She fol-
I lowed him and at Albany she se
cured a warrant and he was placed
( under arrest in that city. At, the I
trial be was convicted on the in-1
dictment returned by the grand j
jury of Dougherty county charging
him with bigamy and given a term
of two years.
Greiger’s sentence expires next
Tuesday and he wil' go at once to
Columbus and claim the money be
queathed to him by bis uncle. All
the time he has been in the gang
’ | his wife at Pooler has remained
’ I. yal to him, and Greiger says she
* will meet him here and they will go
’ together for the small fortune and
begin life anew.
