MURDER.
HENRY MARTINS VICTIM EX.
PRES AFTER TWELVE
DAYS OF SUFFERING.
The Murderer Held Over With.
out Bail.

Wiley Hutchinson, COL, who was
shot by Henry Martin, COL, about l
o'clock on the morning of Sunday
April 9th, in front of the court house,
died Friday morning last. His
wound was in the back and was
pronounced fatal from the first. He
had been gradually growing weaker
and was partially paralyzed
for several days preceding his death.
The facts leading to the killing were
brought out at the examining trial
and were about as follows: Hutch
ins0n had room back of the court
house and about IL o'clock Saturday
night April 4th, he went to his room
with Lethe Ware, a mulatto prosti-
tute, and shortly afterwards Martin
came to the door and the men got in
to row about the girl. Hutchinson
kicked or threw Martin out of his
room and struck him with Ratchet,
cutting a cash over his eye and
was putting him down
the steps when the occupants
of the adjoining room came into tie
hall and separated the combatants.
Martin went away cursing loudly
and bitterly and shortly afterwards
returned with pistol. lie called to
Hutchinson TO open the door but
Hutchinson went to the door and in
stead of opening 1t attempted to fas-
ten IL more securely. Martin then
shot through the door panel, imbedd-
ing a ball in the door and knocking
splinters into Hutchinson's face.
The latter then leaped from his back
window and ran to the police head
quarters on the other side of the
public square to notify the police.
Not finding the night officer in,
he started back and met
Martin who had followed him,
IN front of the Court House, and
turned and ran across the street to-
wards Court street. Martin followed
and shot him in the back.
Iutchinson's ante-mortem state
ment was taken and other witnesses
corroborated his testimony. lie was
very peacoable fellow about 81 years
old, and was employed as waiter at
J. NJ. Tandv's saloon.
Martin is mulatto about q years
old and has been caught in several
bad scrapes before. lie Is the same
party who cut aud wounded Mr.. NJ.
l.. Elb Il few years ago and also struck
a man with q brick at Dawson, Ky.
lie is very bad character and de-
serves the severest punishment.
His latest crime was a brutal murder
and the same gallows erected for
Jordan Taylor should be saved for
Henry Martin.

Gus Finley was hanged at Preston

murder of Jas. Hunt.
In August, 1888, Finley and man
named Dagley imbibed freely of
liquor and then quarIeled, resulting
in a fight. Dagley struck Finley on
the head with a weight. Finley
drew a revolver. During the fight
young James Hunt aged 10, rushed
between Dagley and Finley, just as
the latter fired his pistol. The ball
struck Hunt, inflicting a wound of
which he died. The plea set up in
behalf of Finley was that he was too
drunk TO know what he was doing.
The plea was unavailing and Finley
was convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to be hanged December, 1884.
The case was taken to the Court of
Appeals. That Court affirmed the

Always Look Under tho Sofa.

The following from the Conyers Weekly
is published with the hope that it may
serve as warning to spoony couples
hereabouts
There is certain boy who does not
live thousand miles from here that
ought to be killed. Last Sunday even
ing he crawled under the sofa, and when
his big sister and her best young man
were sitting as close together as possible,
he rugged a slip.knot around their feet.
When the old gentleman came into the
parlor to look for his cigar stump they
thought they would occupy separate pews.
The young man fell over the center table,
and AIiss- sat down on the floor with
a conclusion that dislocated her adjusta-
BILE bangs. The old gentleman thought
Mr. was drunk, and hit him with his
cane several times before he could tear
himself loose and fall out of tho window.
The match is declared off.
