COOKS HANGING.
Superstitions of long Ago Which

the Event has Brought to Mind.
BUTLER, GA, Sept. 1S.-W. p. Cald-
well, Assistant County Treasurer, was
telling the NEWS correspondent yester-
day of the two men hung here IN 1856 and
1857, their offenses, and in what short
periods of time after each hanging the
eheriffs died. The first, negro man, was
hung in the fall of 1856 for killing his
master. He had run away and was hiding
when his master saw him and rave chase,
and, in crossing foot log, stumbled and
fell in the water. As soon as he did the
negro turned upon him, and, placing one
foot on his neck, held him under the
water until he drowned. In few
DAYS the negro was arrested on the plan
tation while at work with other hands,
br ought to Butler and lodged in jail. He
was given trial, found guilty and sem
fenced to be hanged. Sheriff William
Virgins did the banging, and in three
months afterward died of some peculiar
disease In the nOrtheasterly room OF the
court house building. It is not known
what the nature Of the disease was. He
was sick only few days, and growing Ill
suddenly died.
THE CoZATT MURDER.
The other was the negro that killed
Jake Cozatt, one OF the cleverest and
most polite conductors that was ever In
the employ Of the Central railroad. The
negro had committed some crime In Mus
cogee or Talbot county and was on Co.
zatps train making his escape. Cozatt
received telegram hero that the negro
was on his train, and describing him, or
dered him to arrest and hold him. In
the attempt to do so he was shot ami
KiIlnd Tho mo htc
for two or three years WAS not heard Of
Finally, however, he was arrested and
brought to Butler to be Identified SO
fearful were the officials OF his being
lynched that a strong guard was ordered
TO garrison the Jail until he could get a
trial. He was hanged shortly afterward
Sheriff Wall, who did the hanging, lived
only about ten months afterward, when
he died OF the same peculiar disease and
in the same room that Sheriff Wiggins
died in. These are queer coincidences
which have never been fully understood.
The friends of Sheriff Pope, whose duty
10 was TO hang Jesse Cook, the wife mur-
derer, regret that there were no means by
which he could escape. While they are
not disposed to entertain the belief that
he will be "trioked," yet they would much
prefer some other man.
Quite a number visited Cook at the jail
thursday. lie seemed perfectly satisfied
and talked freely. He had book in
which he kept the names of those who vis-
tied him and the principal Questions they
asked. In two weeks over 500 people
called on him at the jail. Out Of this
number only five asked questions that he
refused to answer. These questions. he
said, pertained 10 no one but himself and
could do the public no good, hence he re.
fused to answer them. He prepared some
scraps OF poetry, which he requested
should be printed after his death. 1t was
rumored Friday morning that he had sold
his heart to DR.. r. G.. T. HALEY for $40,
but his brother, who came TO take his re-
mains to Geneva, Ga. denied this report.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1s.-The board OF
revision, consisting of the Mayor, City
Comptroller and one or two other city
officers, recently employed an accountant
to examine the books Of the late Board of
Public Works. To-day, after brief con-
sultatiOn with the expert, warrant was
issued for the arrest of George

late BOsrd of Public Works, and
at present holding the same office under

charged with having embezzled $4,000 OF
funds at various times within the past
five years. He was arrested this alter
noon and gave bonds in the sum of $40, 900
1or his appearance. The expert states
that the evidence Of embezzlement
Is OF such character as
to prove that it could not
have been accomplished without the con-

expected that much more startling reve-
latiOns will be made when the investiga-
tion is completed and the report made.
