Swainsboro Pine Forest. On last
! Wednesday evening as the train was COM
| ing in from Midvale Mr.. Wales, the en-
| gineer, discovered dead man lying on the
| track about one mile from Swainsboro
| Upon investigation the body was found to
| be that Of jack Parsons, negro preacher
| who lived about three miles from town.
| Our citizens set to work at once to discover
clew to the murderer. Several arrests
were made and among the number the son
| of the murdered man, a boy about 10
| years old. The boy at once con-
fessed that he shot and killed his
| father, and that Charley Coleman was
| sitting hid with him with his knife in hand
to finish the job, should he fail to do the
work with the gun. He also stated that the
said Charley Coleman and his mother had
been trying to pursuade him to kill his
father for two months. The boy, his mother
and Charley Coleman were all nabbed and
| placed in jail TO await trial at this term Of
| the court where, doubtless, speedy justice
| will be dealt out to them.
A special from Mallorysvillo saws
About five weeks ago stranger landed
here and sought work on a farm. He gave
his name as E. j. Wyman and his former
home as Aiken, 8. G. Wymau was hale
fellow well met aud soon made score of
friends. Among them were several young
| ladies, to one Of whom he was soon engaged.
The knot was to have been tied on Friday,
but the young lady's father refused to allow
the ceremony until he had written to Aiken
and found out about Wyman's past record.
| The reply came back that no such man was
ever known there. Then suspicious
| began to be aroused. Wyman was
arrested and brought to town
on Sunday by the Messrs. Poss
circulars and picture of a man named
Wright. from North Carolina, for whom re-
wards of $3.50 are offered. He teleRraphed
to North Carolina, asking If this was the
| man, but he has not yet received reply.
| Wyman teegraphed himself, but the replies
| were not satisfactory to the proposed father
| in-law. This nettled the young stranger a
| good deal, and he is now on needles and
| pins, as the old saying goes. He is at liberty
but refuses to leave and contends that there
is some conspiracy to down him. He still
holds the young lady's promise but, like q
| sensible woman, her love she holds in alley
ance until her lover brings himself clear OF
| suspicious"
AT Atlanta Thursday Judge Marshall J
| Clarke rendered decision in the now very
noted Cunningham case. Mrs. Cunning.
| ham won the case. Her husband was en-
| joined from coming to her house or inter
| feriug with her in the control and MANAGE
| ment of the minor children. The case
| from its beginning has been one of peculiar
| interest, and as the facts came before the
| public much sympathy was enlisted for
| Mrs Cunningham. The first public notice
| of the matter was brought out by:R. f.
| Cunningham, who was at the time a mem
Der Of the police force, having one of his
| sonB arrested. While the boy was in the
| custody OF the arresting officers, Cunning
ham struck him with walking cane. The
father was arrested on warrant
sworn out by the mother, and upon hi,
| trial was convicted of assault and battery
| and sentenced to pay a fine of $500. In thil
| case an appeal was taken to the supreme
| court. In the meantime Mrs. Cunningham
| had instituted proceedings for a partial
| divorce from her husband. While this wa,
| pending she went before Judge Marshall
| Clarke with petition to enjoin her husband
from coming to her house to interfere with
| the management of the minor children
Upon n hearing OF this petition much SEN
| sational evidence was brought out, Cunning
ham making accusations against his wifi,
involving her character. Through il all the
woman was bowed down with grief. Judg
Clarke's decision putting the children il
Mrs. Cunningham's keeping, vindicates he
from the charges against her characte
made by the husband. Cunningham will b
allowed to make reasonable visits to hi
children.
