Albany Herald: The Herald got hold Of
a piece OF news to-day that will be interest
ing to many of its readers. Nearly every
body in the wlregrass region of Southwest
Georgia knows Jim Hamons, either per-
Sonally or by reputation. He was well
known in Albany up to four or five years
ago, when it will be remembered, he was
convicted Of sheep and cattle stealing in
Worth county and sentenced to a term in
the penitentiary. Well the man Williams,
who was the leader OF the gang Of four men
that committed the recent express robbery
in Florida, and killed Express Messenger
Saunders about three weeks ago. was none
other than Jim Harnons. His identity has
been established beyoId dou It. The Herald
has it straight from reliable gentleu al
who knew Hamons and saw photograph
of him that was taken after he was killed,
aud says that he recognized it at once.
Hamons had either served out his term
in the penitentlary or made his escape, we
do not know which. and had gone down
into Florida, where he was operating under
the name of Jim Williams. He was the
leader of the express robbers, was the man
who killed Saunders, the express messeng ger,
and was the first OF the robbers killed,
being the one that opened fire on the bridge
guard at Palatka when the four men were
making their way across the st. Johns
river.
