moved that the trial of his client be post

forth that the defendant has full,

reasons for the postponement Of his trial.
First. Two witnesses live out of the
State. Their evidence is admissible ma
terial and necessary for the defence, and
they could be obtained for attendance at

mony he cannot safely go to trial

SENTENCED TO DIE.
TWO FANNIN COUNTY MURDERERS
IN MARIETTA JAIL.

Edmund Green AID AnSley Green, two
white men, were brought to this place, on
Saturday afternoon, the first is under SEN
tence of death and the latter under sentence
CT imprisonment for life. They were con-
victed last week in Fannin Superior court
for the murder of W. c. Keeuer. The
crime was committed last August and was
diabolical in its execution.
keener was witness against Jacob and
Robert Carter, in Q case of arson.
While Keener was in his field moving
hay, the Carriers and Greens arranged a
blind behind which they ambushed them
selves. When keener approached near
them, Edmund Green fired and shot him
down. Keener got up and ran and all four
of the men pursued him. Keener fell
again and the men approached him. He
begged them not to kill hin, but they would
not releDt from their purpose. They shot
and beat him to death and left him. The
two Greens and Robert Carter were arrest
ed, but Jacob Carter fed the country and
his hiding place is unknown. The grand
jury found true bills against all of them for
murder. The two Greens were tried last
week, and were convicted on the testimo>
ny of Robert Carter, who turned State s
evidence. Carter gets the benefit OF being
material witness and was turned loose.
Edmund Green was sentenced by Judge
Gober to be hung on the third day of July
and Ansley Green goes to the penitentiary
for life.
The trial was a very exciting one, and
it is said the reason that Ansley Green
had the sympathy of the jury in their re,
commentator to Imprisonment for life
was owing to his youthtulness.
Edmund Green has wife but no chill
dren His wife during the entire tria
chung to his arm. When he was taken t.
the train to be brought to Marietta Jail fo
safe keeping, she, refused to leave him
threw her arms around his neck and cam,
on to Marietta with him.
She stad with him until Sunday an,
then returned to her lonely home, almos
heart>broken. She is young girl, but he
devotion to her husband is remarkable.
Edmund Green claims that it is gres
hardship that he is to be hung, while tn
Carriers. the principal instigators in tn
crime, are at liberty. He seems to be de.
perate in his feelings.

MISSING FOR FORTY YEARS.

Mary Ann Grier disappeared from
her fathers home, two miles south
Of Waunatah, Indiana, nearly forty
years ago.
Recently her body was recovered
in an abandoned iron ore pit with
out one vestige of change from the
appearance it had known in life.
The last shred Of clothing was
long ago destroyed by action of the
water in which she had met her
death, but the same chemicals which
removed the garments preserved the
flesh. .
Not only is the contour of the
form perfect, as in life, but even the
color Las remained unchanged. The
arms and shoulders are white as
marble, the hands brown, and one
of them still bears the stain of the
berries with which she was working
the afternoon of her disappearance.
The cheeks are slightly brown but
suffused With a rudy flush.
Were it not for the unsightly cav
tiles that once contained the eyes,
that petriGed frame which has lain
almost half century in the soil
would appear the peacefully sleeping
figure Of healthy, handsome young
woman.
Will Strunk, who made the dis
covery while digging post holes for
fence across the prairie, took his
pocket knife and struck lightly on
the exposed shoulder.
The sound emitted was the hard
metallic ring that comes of blow on
a stone. Nicholas Grier, her eighty
year.old father, identified Mary.
When he last saw her she was on
her way to visit neighbor.

HORRIBLE.

Several weeks ago Mrs. Blanche
Mickey, from Jan Juan county,
Colo, went to Galena, Kan, to WIS.,
it her mother. She was accompan-
led. by her two children, aged 6
years and s months respectively.
She had not been there long when
VIM. Alvord, also of Colorado, ap-
peared ON the scene. He and Mrs.
Mckee were evidently ON very in
innate terms. Sunday afternoon
Alvord went walking III the woods
near town with Mrs. Mickey and
her two children. The oldest child
returned home at four o'clock. Mrs.
Mckee and the youngest child were
never again seen alive. A searching
party which had been out since
Sunday evening, discovered the
bodies of mother and child hanging
to tree, i'll a thicket, in the woods
where they had been walking Sun
day. The mother had been hanged
with her apron, and the child with
a ribbon. Alvord was arrested San
day evening on suspicion of having
murdered Mrs. Mckee and her child.
When told that the bodies had been
found, he attempted suicide by
hanging in his cell, but was cut
down in time to save his life.

HE RIVALS BLIND TOM,

There is q musical prodigy near
Oak Grove school house, Forsyth
county, who excels Blind Tom in
his palmiest days. 1t is little Mica
jah Bagwell, the 4-year-old son of
"Game" Bagwell, as he is called.
The child frequently gets up before
singing class aud leads the music.
He thoroughly understands the ru-
diments of music, and sings any
piece at sight. The most difficult
music is plain to him. The charac-
tiers seem to photograph themselves
on his brain, and one glance is suf-
ficient to make him understand a
song. Some time ago a singing
class was If session, and little Mica
jah and his father we're present.
The little fellow listened attentive
ly, and his quick and sensitive ear
soon discovered that the singing was
out of time. He stood it as long as
possible, and then, jumping up, he
waved his hand and led the singing
in the most approved fashion, to
the establishment of all who were
present. He is perfectly entranced
when any one is playing the piano,
