Order to Effect His Capture-Ths
Empire State Back of the Effort to
Have Him Brought Back.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2s.-News of the ar
rest in Cincinnati of Harry Hill, the young
man who has caused such a stir by nego-
tiating notes bearing the alleged forged
| Endorsement of Mrs J. II. Porter. reached
here this morning. Hill was released on
bond last Friday and mysteriously got
out of the city before anybody but his
lawyers knew of his release Before he
was out of the state, however, efforts
were being put forth by the Empire State
Bank, which had handled good deal Of
Hills questionable paper, to have
| him re-arrested. The attorneys
| for the bank evidently did
| not have much confidence in the police,
| since the department failed to locate Hill
| few months ago for reward when he
was openly living at the Arlington hotel
| at Augusta Besides, the circumstances
! of Hills recent release show that Justice
was inclined to wink the other eye" and
| the bank concluded to call upon the news
papers to catch the handsome fugitive.
| kilograms were sent TO all the big papers
| In the west, and the Cincinnati Enquirer
soon spotted the man. He was located in
a gambling house, and the place was
| raided by the police to arrest Hill.
EFFORTS TO KEEP I'M OUT OF THE WAY.
There is no doubt that desperate efforts
are being made to keep Hill out OF the
way. The Empire State Banks suit
would force out all the details in the SEN
satiOnal case, and this is not desired by
any means, AT the time of his release
| last week there were in the hands OF
| Mrs. Porters lawyers, seven warrants
sworn out several months ago by Mrs.
| Porter on alleged forged letters, which
| should have been served 10 hold the pris-
Oner. But instead they have mysteriOusly
| disappeared, and the only chance of getting
| Hill extraditcd now is upon the claim
of the Empire State Bank The bank has
| taken out a warrant for Hill for cheating
and swindllng, charging that he claimed
! his stock OF whisky was worth $40 900,
whereas half the barrels were filled with
water, and the whole sold for only 81 100.
The alleged misrepresentation was made
in order TO negotiate a $500 note TO the
| bunk. Hills attorneys are making hard
| fight on this charge
THE GOVERNOR HOLDS THE KEY.
Gov. Northen holds the key to the stu
| alton. He has been hearing the fight on
the requstion all day and win not decide
until tomorrow. Strong influences and
| arguments have been made to get him To
refuse the requisition and then let Hill go
on his way rejoicing His decision to-
morrow is awaited with the liveliest in
terest. II the governor refuses to issue
| the papers necessary to bring
| Hill back to Georgia the truth OF the
| many scandalous reports that have been
| In circulation about the case will. in all
probability, never be known, as it is taken
FOR granted that Hill will never be tried.
On the other hand, if the governor fol-
lows the ordinary custom in such matters
and grants the requisition, Hill will be
brought back and forced to defend him
| self on the witness stand.
