Each week thereafter the members meet and
each pays dollar. at which time

ception that upon the drawing of number further pay
ments of that number The remaining members

Plot for n Sensational Novel from tho
Georgia Court Records.
Z a rev years ago among the noon
sinners In the Fulton County prison
was Walter Blackman, says the Atlanta
Journal. On tho night of December ia
Blackman and Miss Lulu Hicks we're to
be married. Tho guests had oil ar
rived, among whom was q young man
named George Blakesley, who had been
a sutton for Miss Hicks hand. Blakes-
ley was n mountaincer himself, or had
been, but had lately travelled about con-
siderably. The justice was preparing
his papers and tho bride md groom
made their appearance from an adioin.
ing room.
There was a sound of horses' feet
upon tho frozen ground outside. More
guests arriving? In q few moments a
dozen revenue officers armed to tho
teeth entered the room and placed
Blackman under arrest. The bride
groom was takon to Atlanta, and there
was no wedding. !.
AT tho trial Blaleesley was the
principal witness, and ho testified as to
how he had pointed out the spot whore
Blackman's still was located and then
told the officers of the wedding.
was sentenced to twelve
months imprisonment. AS soon as tho
trial was over Blakcsley hastened back
to the homo OF Miss Hicks and told her
that her lover had been sent to prison
for life. For three months afterward
Blakesley pressed his suit, and Miss
Hicks finally married him.
IL may have been Blalcsley's intcn-
ton to wait until tho twelve months
had nearly expired and to then move to
some other place with his vito. At the
end Of six months B,ackman was par
doned, and the story of the interrupted
wedding had something to do with the
executive clemcncy. s
Blackman went to his home and was
told OF Miss Hicks marriage. IIo
placed q Winchester on his shoulder,
rode over to where Blakeslcy was liy-
ing, and calling him to tho door, shot
him through the heart. Riding hastily
away he disappeared in the woods and
has never since been seen.
