ward for Petit's Capture.
ATLANTA, Aug. 6.-Bryant kept the
seat of an easy chair in the MarshaPs
office warm all of to-day and received
many callers, most of them anxious to
''catch On'' to a fat job. Although an
effort was made to keep the signers of his
bond secret, it has leaked out that the
names of A. E. Buck, Clerk of the United
States Court, W.. l.. Shumate. of the At
lanta Post Office, and George Z. Burnett,
who is an applicant for the Rome post
office, are on the bond, together with pro-
badly the names of Robert A. Boyd, Uni
ted States Commissioner, and a clerk in
tne Clerks office, and Charles d. For
syth, of Rome. From an official
source comes the information that Buck,
Shumate and Burnett are on the bond,
and street TumOr puts Boyd and Forsyth
on the same paper. 1t is not improbable
that all of them may be on the bond for
specified amounts.
II. c. Hamilton, Clerk of the Superior
Court of Whitfield county, called upon
the Governor to-day for the purpose of
claiming the reward offered for the cap
ture OF Pink Petit, of Murray county, who
some time ago killed his wife and ran
away. When pursued and oYertaken,
Petit offered resistance. He was killed
by the officers while endeavOring to arrest
him. The Governor declined to pay the
reward, and suggested to Hamilton that
his best move would be in the direction of
the Legislature, as the reward offered
was for the arrest of Petit and his de-
livery to the Sheriff of Murray county.
