NEGROES FL0CKING TO The CITIES.



The good people Of Ben Smiths dis
trlct have concluded. after much trolale Gnd
WolTE in cnd13yor.n| to solve the question
tAat the unknown man VINO was found enc
SUNDAY morning suspended from io.st IL
their courthouse, ia that district, did not put
himself i'll that attijGdo, bat that some one
else did 1t is now currently reported thJt the
man was cholcd to death and SWING
W by the murdcrcrs after lie was
dead and after he was cold and stiff. There
is no doubt but that he was robbed, after being
killed, and robbery was the motive that
brought about his death. One strong proof
they entertain, and which, among other cir
cumStanCes, induced them to this conclusion,
which they entertained ut the outset but did
not express, is in the fact that both arms were
stretched out flom his body. and
one leg was drawn up, with his foot next
to his body. They say if he had hung himself
his arms and this leg would have been swing
ing down. The satchel the man carried when he
laSsed judge Blakcy's and Eugene lIawthcr'S
the same day, was packed full of something,
and when 1t was found in the courthouse, UNI
der the corpse of its owner, there was nothing
III il except a copy of TIE ATLANTA Constr
TUITION and the name torn off OF that. The
man was neatly and decoptly dressed,
ana all the circumstances connected with his
death ant the position the body was found in,
ana the TACT that his body was cut down be-
fore the coroner arrived, and the conduct of
certain parties, whose names it is not now
prudent to give, and from their past Charac-
Ter ior violence, lead unbiased men to suspect
