with a swiftness that paralyzed the presi-

of the concern Though nothing
has been developed against anyone,
reckless extravaganza is alleged
as the cause of the crash, in which $4,000
was swallowed up like flash The plant
cost nearly $4,000. and the president ana
directors Endorsed papers TO the amount
of SIS. 900. At a directors meeting six
months before the crash came, the books
kept by Manager Brooks showed that the
concern had made during the season a net
profit of % per cent. The stock was sell
ing without trouble for its par value, and
the mill was regarded as the best invest
ment of the city.

CONVICTED OF MURDER.
The Killing of Charlton Lockhart tc
Be Furnished By the Law.

Milledgeville, Ca, Aug. S.--Nearly all
of to-day in the superior court was con
sumed in the case against Ben johnson
for the murder of Charlton Lockhart
last March. The evidence against John
son showed that Lockhart was killed by a
blow from a wedding hoe in the hands of
Johnson, and that the blow was dealt be-
cause of offensive language used by
Lockhart in the presence of some negro
women who were working in the field at
the same time.
All of the evidence was heard before
dinner and Immediately after noon the
argument was begun by Col. Joseph r
Pottle for the defense, Solicitor General
Lewis representing the state.
Judge Jenkins charge to the jury was
clear and explicit, covering every degree
of murder and defining the different
phrases with characteristic plainness.
The jury went to the room at 4 o'clock
and In an hour returned with a verdict of
murder, with recommendation for a
life time sentence.

A little later an investigation of the
books of the concern developed the start
ling fact that it was complete wreck.
The president and directors were called
on for SIS, 600 to cover paper they had nj
dorsed, while the mill plant found no
buyers at anything like its value The
signing of papers by Judge Jenkins to-day
closes the brief history of an institution,
the rise and fall of which finds it's only
parallel in the collapse of the Gate City

caused the property to go for almost
nothing, while the gentlemen who bought
