PORTER THE PROSECUTOR.
He Can Push or Drop the Cases
Against Hill as He Sees Fit.

He Can Push or Drop the Cases
Against Hill as He Sees Fit.
Atlanta, Ga, June ia somewhat
peculiar situation has developed in the
Hill-Porter case. j. H. Porter, whose
wifes name is alleged to have been
forged, appears as the prosecutor on all
the indictments but one, which is a special
presentment The fact that Mr. Porter is
prosecutor practically gives him the di-
rection of the cases, which means that he
can use his advantage to effect a com
promise, or by refusing to allow a com
promise to force the cases against
Hill to trial on their merits
Hills relatives have signifed their
willingness to go on his bond and help
him out, but even if they should offer to
pay up all the notes Hill would not escape
prosecution unless Mr.. Porter should con
gent which is not at all likely, unless the
trial will expose his family On the other
hand, if the intention is to crush the life
out of the sensation-snother it, Mr. Por-
ter is in an advantageous position to do
that, as he can stop the prosecution at
any time.

A CONVICT SHOT DEAD.
ale Threatened to Brain Guard With
a Hammer.

Griffin, Ga, June 19.-Lacid Duke, one
of the convict guards, shot and killed
Walser Miller, one of the gang, yesterday
afternoon. The killing occurred at the
stoclzade and was the result of an at
tempt on the part of Miller to escape,
using a hammer as a weapon. The evil
dence before the eoroner's jury this
morning was to the effect that Miller had
filed his chains apart and fastened them
with a wire to prevent detection, but a
trusty gave the information and during
the replacing of new pair of shackles
Miller gained possession of the hammer,
which he refused to surrender, and, vio-
lently cursing the guard, he threatened
to brain him if he attempted to take it.
Finding persuasion of no avail and to es-
cape being Drained, Duke fired a double
charge of buckshot into the negro, nearly
tearing the top of his head of. The
coroner's jury, after viewing the remains
and hearing the evidence, exonorated
Duke. Miller was said to be powerful
man and reckless to a degree seldom seen.

An Oppressive Night Until the Rain
Cooled It OFF.
Internationally speaking, it was not as
hot by = yesterday as it was the day be-
fore. For few hours last night, however,
1t would have taken,a good deal of argu-
ment TO have convinced most people that
it was not a good deal hotter. Before the
rain began the heat was intense and was
more severely felt because of lack of
breeze. Hardly a breath of air was
stirring and the hot and muggy atmOs-
phere settled down oppresively
The highest the mercury went yester-
day was So, which was but a little out of
the average. The temperature was lower
all through the cotton belt. Americas
still holds the palm as the hottest place
in Georgia, which usually belongs to
Millen or Eastman. Americas reported
So last night The next hottest place IN
the Savannah district was Gainesville,

were some unusual temperatures re
ported from widely separated places.
