XeaVer,s Identity.

The dead man in Westview cemetery.
Atlanta, is J. Woods Pierce, of Texas
and the live man who was arrested Satur-
day In Chattanooga is j. Pierce Weaver,
of Indianapolis,
These two facts were clearly demon
strated Monday.
Early Monday morning Mr.. Ladsden
and Mr.. Brown had lengthy interview
in which they argued that w eayer should
be taken before Mr.. Browns witnesses
for identification. The meeting was then
arranged to take place at the Surgical
Institute on Pryor street. Soon after the
conference between Mr.. Brown and Mr..
Ladsden, Weaver was taken to the Sur
gical Institute, where he met
DR.. Wilson. The doctor soon discovered
that Weaver was not the man of whom
he had been thinking all along, but the
son of the man. DIR. Wilson then had
long talk with Weaver. They discussed
Indianapolis, and spoke of people whom
both knew, and in this way DIR. Wilson
soon became satisfied that Weaver was
the husband of the lady who claimed the
man who was killed in the accident as
her husband. Later i'll the day Mrs. CHS
holm, Miss Long and Mrs. Murdoch went
to the institute and were given an oppor-
tunity to see Weaver without being seen
by him. Mrs. Chisholm recognized Weaver
at a glance. The ladies were then
taken before him one at time. They
talked to Weaver at will, questioning
him about the hotel, the people in the
town and events that transpired
which they remembered. He manifested
q perfect familiarity with everything and
recalled to their minds little circum-
stances which they had forgotten, but
with which they were perfectly familiar.
He told tnem'oi little differences between
children and servants in the hotel, of
what they had done to enjoy themselves,
and Of little toys, treasures and keep
sakes that they had The ladies' all were
compelled TO admit that Weaver was the
man they had known in Fort w orth as j.
W. Pierce.
After the interview between Weaver
and the ladies' Mr.. Brown telegraphed
TO Mrs. Weaver in indianapolis TO either
come to Atlanta at once or to send some
one who was perfectly familiar and
thoroughly acquainted with her husband,
but no reply has yet been received to the
message. Late Monday afternoon Chief
Connolly instructed Officer Wright to
surrender Weaver to Mr.. Ladsden, which
was done. Weaver then employed Mr..
Henry Hillyer as attorney, and demanded
an immediate hearing on the warrant
upon which he was being held. He was
taken before Judge Landrum by whom
he was discharged. He will remain In
the city for day or two yet.

self with his remedy, which, however, he
would not reveal.
Geer always kept liquor in his house,
and on an occasion when johnson was
recovering from one of mis- frequent spells
OF drinking to excess and was suffering
terribly for the want Of liquor, Geer, by
promising never to reveal the secret
while Johnson was alive, succeeded in
getting the remedy for pint OF whisky.
A few years thereafter johnson went Off
with a strolling band of Indians and
never returned. Geer kept the remedy
secret, however, till from old age he was
unable longer to answer the calls of the
settlers when any of them or their stock
had been bitten, and then told it freely to
all. tits as follows:
Apply to the wound poultice one-halt
each Of common salt and indigo, mixed
with cold water, and renewed every two
hours. Eat freely of the leaves, or drink
often Of tea made from them, of a va
riety of the blue violet V. Sagittata) },
commonly known as the "arrow-eaVed"
violet. If the bite be upon the leg or an
arm, bind the leaves in a circle aroundit
above and just beyond the swelling.
Moisten with cold water as often as they
get dry from the fever created by the
poison, and renew two or three times day.
During the time this remedy has been
in use in Mr.. Geer's neignborh0od 1t has
effected at least twenty cures upon hu-
man beings, great many more upon
beasts, and has never failed with either.
Ralph Geer and Moses Thomas, Long
Eddy, n. Y, are the names and address of
individuals now living who have been
bitten by rattlesnakes and cured by this
remedy without the aid of whisky or any
thing else.
