Georgian shot Down In the Road While
Ills Vile Vanity Pleads ON Her Knees fol
liis Life.
CoLuMnus, GA. Jannarys.
Nothing In the criminal annals oil
this State rivals Ia cold-blooded brutality
the murder Of Samuel NJ. Baker At the
hands q gang Of desperadoes led BY
John w. Smith, who has for years been
recognized as terror in the neighbour
hood. Not only was there not the slight
est shadow Of proyocation or prctext for
the deed, but the peculiar circumstances
surrounding the case render IL one OF the
most atrocions that could possibly be
Imagined. Surrounded by the band Of
rufiians, the unfortunate victim was shot
TO death while his weeping bride knelt al
the feet OF the murderer, irnploring yainly
for the life of her Young husband.
Mr.. Baker, who was only recently
married, settled few weeks ago on a
farm In Carroll County, nearly on the
line Of Heard County. The young couple
were supremacy happy. The farm was
well stocked, and the planning Of the
farm operations for the coming year had
been discussed and agreed upon, the
yield promising an abundant return.
On Wednesday evening last about
twilight Mr.. Baker took his BRIDES arm,
and together they went out to look at
their stock. Just as they turned to re-
trace their steps toward their home,
three men, armed, and iniiamed with
liquor, approached them. They were
John w. Smith, Andrew Smith and A. $.
King. All were known 10 Mr.. Baker,
who stepped aside with his wife, in the
hope Of avoiding any controversy with
them. John Smith stepped across their
path, and, cooking his gun, ordered them
to halt.
"Go down on your knees" said the
rufian, ''or I'll blow your brains out"
enforcing the command by pointing the
weapon at the head Of MIR. Baker, who
was unarmed. smith then poured forth
the most yiilainous abuse on the head Of
his intended victim, interlarding his
frightful oaths with the most shocking

tion in which her husband was placed,
Mrs. Baker, hoping to save him from
violence, left his side, and approaching

his knees, shriekcd outs

sake spare him! lie has never wronged
you. DO not kill him," and In the ex-
element sinking 70 the ground In a half
faintIng condition.
The pathetic appeal, instead Of moving
the rufiian's pity, appeared rather 10 in
flame him to crime, and spurning the
PROSTATE, weeping woman aside with Lis
boot, the inhuman desperate took DELHI
crate aim at the knceling man aud fired.
The entire load Of shot pierced Bakers
heart, and he fell toward, dying almost
Instantly.
smith coolly reloaded his gun, and with
his two companions walked away, all
firing their weapons In the air, cursing
and shouting as they went smith, the
murderer. made his escape.
The killing OF Baker has aroused the
neighborhood, and II the murderer is
found he will no doubt be lynched.
