The Pike County Ne1Cs gives the following
account OF the arrest of a murderer in Epson
county: Sheriff Bussey received letter
from A. S. Florence, Sheriff of Meriwether
county, dated April ., 1884, asking him to ar
rest one Charles Hamilton. colored, who killed
Milt Howard with an axe in that county on the
9th OF February last, and made his escape. 1t
was but short time before Sheriff BuSsey,
with his sharp detective ingenuity, had the
man and his whereabouts spotted. The cir
follows: Charles and Milton were en-
gagged in game Of cards, in which
Charles succeeded in winning Millions cards
and some other article of little value After
the game was over, or during the time the
game was going on, there were some words
between the parties about the ownership of
the cards. After some quarreling, Milton left
the house of Charles, but swore he would see
MIN again. Charles took his axe and followed
him short distance, and after some little time
came up with him at another house on the
same farm. There the quarrel was renewed,
and fight ensued, in which Charles struck
Milton with his axe and killed him. Charles
left the county and went to Alabama,
stald there short time and
then came back TO Georgia and
has been wandering about ever since until ar
rested by Sheriff Bussey of this county. The
arrest was made on the plantation of Mr.. Root
Graddick, in Epson county, and the prisoner
was brought to GAINESVILLE on Thursday about
3 O'Clock and lodged in the guard house until
the afternoon of that day when ne was carried
by Sheriff Bussey to ZsbulOn and lodged in the
county Jail. where he will remain until the
Sheriff of Merriwether county comes for him.
Charles Hamilton admits he did the killing,
but claims that ii was done in self de 'ense He
is an intelligent colored boy who appears to be
eighteen or twenty years Old
