7 NJ. Rogers Now Suspected of Kill

Sandersville, Ga, May 27.-The mys-
cory surrounding the murder of Junius

mission of one of the white caps, who
oidpd in the assault that produced Law

MI NJ. Rogers, at Lawrence's house,
and that Lawrence had also been shot by
Rorers. Downs requested his physicians
20 keep this fact d secret, and they were
18th TO reveal it, but it was ascertained
tb9t Downs had been wounded, and the
musicians who had. been attending him
we're required to appear on the witness
stand and tell what they knew of the
a4air. and in this manner the truth was
revealed. Up to this time it was believed
hat the dying statement of Lawrence
that Jesse Brantley had shot him was
true. and the case had assumed
serious aspect for Brantley. There
Is a strong resemblance between Brantley
and Rogers, which caused Lawrence to

whom he supposed had shot him. -Four
others who were in the gang have not yet
been arrested, but the officers are after
them. and they will be caught.
CAUSE OF THE ATTACK.
The reason assigned for the attack on
Lawrence is that some time ago he had a
difficulty with David Smith, in which the
latter was knocked down, and bad feel
ines were engendered. Smiths sons had
made threats against Lawrence, and it is
supposed had got these men to try
to give him a whipping. When
they made the attack and
Laurence knocked them down and recOg-
pized his assailants, they murdered him.
Downs is suffering intensely from the
wound in his arm. The physicians have
been unable to remove the ball on account
Of his weak condition and it may result
il his death.

Pile He was a very bad negro. The fol-
lowing is the story of his crime:
HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
On March % last at Ushing's mill, in
Montgomery county, Nick NuttinR and
his partner, Weldon Gordon, two strolling
gamblers, went to the house of Barney
Neil, hard working saw-mill hand, for
the purpose of collecting "a 50 which
they had won from him the night before
They demanded the 81 80 and Barney
asked that they allow him time to go to
his employer and get the money, but the
two gamblers told him that they would
have the money or kill him. Barney at
tempted to escape by slamming the door
of his shanty in their faces. They imme-
diately opened fire on the inmates of the
shanty through the cracks, and a ball
from Nutting's Winchester struck and
fatally wounded a 5-year-cld daughter Of
Barney's, who was in the shanty at the
time. They then made good
their escape A thoroughly enraged
mob Of negroes secured the country
for them for several days Nutting made
his way to Forsyth, where he had rela-
tives He was located there by Town
Marshal Haines, who, with posse, sur
rounded his hiding place, a barn on the
outskirts of town. and demanded his sur
render. Upon his refusal the marshal
opened fire on him, striking him twice
Thinking he had killed or seriously
wounded him he opened the door Nut
ting, though shot twice in the face,
opened fire on the marshal with Win

killing him instantly. The rest of the
posse, nfter shooting Nutting full of lead,
succeeded in capturing him He was
brought here, tried at the April term Of
court and sentenced to hang to-day. Dur
ing his incarceration in the Jail here he
displayed the utmost Indifference to his
fate and seemed to rather feel proud Of
his position.

FLoRIDA's LEGIsLATURE.
Manv Members Attend a Banquet
Given by Mr.. Bailey at Monticello.


Tallahassee, Fla, May Gin the Sen
ate to-day bill for the organization of a
county court in Suwannee county was in
PRODUCED and successfully put upon its
third reading.
Mr.. ROsborough's act consolidating the
Florida Agricultural College and East
and West Florida Seminaries was de
feated, a result largely due to the heroic
eXertions of Senator Baya, who delivered
against the proposition a powerful and
effective argument.
Committee reports and bills on second
reading occupied the remainder of the
session, which was, however, seriously
interrupted by the banquet at Monticello
given tonight by Hon J. b. Bailey to the
members of the House and Senate, which
mas been largely attended by both houses.
In the House this morning was resumed
consideration of the appropriation bill for
lo55-94 on motion to reconsider its
passage, which was agreed to. The point
IN dispute was clause which gave county
boards Of education the right to fix a levy
Tor school purposes subject to the APP
proyal of county commissioners. Mr..
Gaskins offered an amendment, giving the
board of education full power to name the
assessment, and the commissioners have
power only to make the levy, as recon-
mended
Mr.. Pickett of Duval introduced a con-
stltutlonal amendment to the election
law, providing that foreigners must be
actually naturalized and reside in the
state two years and in the county one
year before acquiring the right TO vote.
ms resolution was 50 amended by Mr..
Fletcher as to make one year in the state
and six months in the county sufficient
qualification
A valuable report was that made to-day
by the committee concerning the present
status of the internal improvement fund,
which rendered noteworthy the report
based on the original records and turned
TO utility the heroic eXertions of the
third party men to utilize as campaign
thunder the present condition of this
fund
The House held a session this after
noon and passed a bill requiring railroads
to exhibit the marks and brands of cattle
killed on their tracks.
The time was mostly employed in con-
slderation of bills on second reading and
from the manner in which business was
eXpediated a busy and effective week may
be expected at the close of the session.
Mr.. Alexander of Volusia introduced a
resolution calling upon FlOrida's repre-
sentatives in congress to ask for an
investigation of the official acts of
Judge Swayne of the United States
circuit court, which was unanimously
adopted
Impeachment is the object aimed at by
the resolution.

A GEORGIA mARoH1oNEss.
A Former Augusta Girl Secures Di-
voroe From Her Titled Husband.

Washington, May PA recent London
letter published in a New York paper
mentions the names of several notable
society debutantes, among them Beatrice,
a daughter of Sir Charles Chetwynd and
a niece Marchioness Anglesey, formerly
Miss Minnie King of Augusta, Ga. This
incident reminds me of a story got from
friend not long ago who was recently i'll
Paris. tie says that the marchiOnesS is
separated from her husband because he
furnished fair share of the long list of
scandals with which the house of Paget
has had its name associated.
Only two months after Anglescy's
marriage with Miss King he became the
cause of the suicide at Paris of another
American lady, a Mrs. Wetmore of New
York. Mrs. Wetmore had made great
sacrifices for the sake of the marquis
who had solemnly promised to marry her
as soon as she had procured a divorce
from her American husband. just as she
was set free she learned that Lord Angle
sey was about TO marry Miss King Accord
ing to the story told by the divorced wife
of younger brother of the late Duke of
Newcastle, at whose Partisan residence
the suicide of Mrs Wetmore occurred,
the marquis had an interview with the
unfortunate lady week before his mar
riage, during which he appeared as affec-
tlonate as ever and reiterated his pledge
to be true to her
FATAL NOTE.
The next day, however, she received a
note through the marquis secretary, in
which he babe her farewell forever, and
gave her TO understand that all was al an
end between them. a few days after the
celebration of the marquis marriage Mrs
Wetmore, through her lawyers, brought
a suit for breach of promise against the
delinquent which resulted in the plaintiff
being nOn-suited, the marquis merely
pointing out that as the offenSe, if
otense there had been. had been commit
ted in France, the case could not be tried
in England, and there is no law Furnishing
breach of promise in France. 1t was then
that Mrs. WetmOre, heart-broken and
penniless, having exhausted all her re
sources in procuring her divorce at Lord
Anglesey's request, committed suicide.
Lord Anglesey lived with his present
wife only about a year and then sepa-
rated from her publicly, announcing that
he would not be held responsible for her
since to make her a liberal allowance out
of his S500000 annual income. The mar
chiOness, although no longer young, still
retains many traces of her former beauty,
and with her blue eyes, blonde
hair, and her plump and shapely neck
and shoulders, remains a very attractive
woman. The marquis is said to be a bold,
bad man with an olive skin and crisp,
glossy hair, more after the manner of a
Spaniard than an Englishman.
