THE DIX AFFAIR.
There Was No Evidence He Did Any
thing Wrong.


Lyons, Ga, Sept. 23.-Editor Of the
Morning News: 1t is not my desire to
inlure any one, and especially a young
man who has always borne as good a
character as Mr.. Clinton Dix of Vidalia.
Please give place to the following; As
stated at the time, Mr. Dix wasoarrested
and carried to Macon, charged with rob
bling the pOstoffice, but no evidence was
produced TO convict him. A ring that
had been pawned by negro woman at
the drug store where the post
Office was kept was stolen, together
with some money. Mr. Dix had a ring
that resembled the mis- sing one very
much, so much that the parties who had
him arrested believed it to be the ring.
The negro woman also claimed that 1t was
her ring. At the trial the ring was given
to the Judge he, unseen by any one,
made very distinct cross-mark init, and
handed 1t TO the woman, asking her at
the time if there was amy private mark
on the ring she would know
it by. She looked at the ring
and said she knew it by
that cross. The Judge said, but Il have
just made that cross on it myself which
of course made her evidence of no avail.
Mr.. Dix was able TO prove by several
responsible gentlemen that he had had
the ring over a year, and that he had
tried 10 sell it several times before the
postoffice was robbed, and also that he
had bought it in Savannah. Mr.. Dix re
turned to Vidalia the second day after
his arrest, of which ! wired you the same
day, but | suppose you did not get the dis
patch, as l have never seen it in print. 1t
is with feeling of pleasure that / write
the above, as Mr. Dix, together with his
whole family, have always borne good
name, and am truly glad to know that
he has proved himself clear of so grave a
charge CORRESPONDENT AT LYONS.
