A BEAST.

a BEAST.
ATLANTA. Ga. Sept. GA New
nan special to the Constitution gives
an interview with the boy j. a.
White, who was stolen by Ogletree,
now so notorious for stealing boys.
The Constitution previously gave the
details of Ogletree'S abduction of
Charlie Tilden, Atlanta, all of whom
he subjected to beastly indignities be-
fore they escaped. The abduction of
Joe Allen White aroused the country
and numerous parties were in pursuit
of the rascal. A couple of days since
he was SO closely pressed that he tied
the boy in fence corner and moved
on himself. When found the boy was
nearly dead from fright and want of
food. He said the man approached
him on August 2Sth and telling him
he owned a saw mill in Tennessee
wanted him to work in it. His story
of rambling through the swamps, the
repeated chastiSementS and personal
indignities, battle all description. The
country is still being secured for Ogle-
tree but he manages to keep ahead of
his pursuers.

part of this city about midnight last
night. A young man about twenty
years of age named Cornelius Allis
was shot in the back of the head in
the street near the drug store in
which he was employed as clerk. He
expired almost Immediately after the
first person reached him. A man was
seen running away from the spot at
great speed by one or two persons
who were fastening to the scene, but
who he was cannot be conjectured.

He was quiet. unobtrusive young
