Special to the Star.

Special to the Star.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. S.-This is the day
set for the hanging of James Afford, for
the murder OF All Shuler. He is osc of
the most atrocious murderers ever con-
victed here. There were, year ago two
friends working in rolling-mill here. One
night they were out on Il frolic. Shuler,
the eldest, got very drank, and was hardly
able to walk. Afford, who was much So
berer determined to take his friend home.
Shuler, however, resisted any advice in that
direction, and cursed Afford soundly for
offering it. At length, Afford tried to take
him home by force. In his stupid resist
ance, Shuler caught Affords shirt and tore
it
Afford then said, "By God, you mustn't
tear my shirt" Shuler said, ''ll tear the
whole id thing off," and caught it again
and wrenched it violently, saying, II ain t
afraid of your knife; | have killed one
man." A struggle ensued, in which Afford
easily forced shuler backward until lie had
thrown him upon the railroad track. He
then fell upon him with devilish fury, and
began to hack him with large pocket
knife. Before any one could interfere, he
had cut him several times. Shuler writhed
under him in great agony, and yelled, For
Gods sake, Jim, don't kill me-" Afford
kept cutting, the knife whizzing in and out
and making great gashes every time.
At last Shuler cried: "Jim, you've done
killed me, for Gods sake stopH Afford
then ran and plunged into the mill and
escaped. Shuler was found to have been
cut all to pieces; his entrails dragged
from several slits cut in his abdomen, and
he was bloody from head to foot. He died
in short time.
