HINKLE DECLARED GUILTY.
4 Recommendation Of Imprisonment
for Life Goes With 1t.
The Jury Out Three and Half Hours

The Jury Out Three and Half Hours.
The Polling of the Jury After the
Verdict Drowned by the Lamenta-
tions of the Doomed Mans Wife.
The Son to Be Tried Now.
Americas, Ca, Feb. 1--we the Jury
find the defendant, j. B. Hinkle guilty,
and recommend that he be imprisoned for
life"
That was the verdict Of the Jury in the
Hinkle case as rendered at o'clock this
afternoon, three and a half hours after
the conclusion Of the charge Of Judge
Fish.
Col. Berner concluded his mastsrful
argument for the prosecution at IL AS
O'Clock, having spoken about six hours.
Words cannot fully convey the estimate
the people have placed upon his favorable
and convincing presentation of the case
as represented by the prosecution.
The ladies began to gather in the court
room before z o'clock, though he was not
TO appear before 8 80 o'clock. From $50
O'Clock until his close not seat or stand
ing room was unoccupied. His speech
was the elimination Of intellectual effort,
armed with the invincible armor Of
justice. There was never more trium-
plant victory Of intellect in the cause Of
justice in the courts Of the state.
When the jury retired to their room
after the charge of the judge, which was
most impartial, and which occupied just
fifty minutes in its delivery. They stood
seven for guilty and five for guilty with
recommend for life Imprisonment. The
disposition of the majority Ito lean TO
mercy's side' was the cause of the YER
dict made.
The defense was so surprising that when
the verdict waa announced by the fore
man of the jury the wall of anguish from
the sorrow-stricken wife of the doomed
man for time drowned the efforts to poll
the jury.
There has not been an intimation of the
intentions of the defense as to an appeal.
The sentiment Of the people is that the
verdict is just one.
The son, A. B. Hinkle, is vet to be tried.

Mysterious Manner.
Sandersville, Ga. Feb IA great deal
Of excitement was caused one morning
this week by the finding of an ak in the
parlor of Mr.. Louis Holt. No one could
account for it being there. Previous to
this brickbats and pieces of wood had
been thrown at the lady of the house on
several nights while she was standing on
her back porch. Monday night piece of
coal was thrown through the window,
shiyering the glass and frightening those
in the house. Every effort is being made
TO find out the miscreant. Should he be
found he will be severely dealt with.
Mrs. Tabitha Pughsley, an aged and
highly respected lady of this place, died
yesterday morning of paralysis Of the
heart. She had risen and was lighting
the fire in her room when she was seized
with paroxysms of pain. She was as
sisted to her bed and expired in a few
moments.
A physician was heard to remark few
days since that this section of the coun-
try hadn't had weather sufficiently cold
TO kill the gnats and mosquitoes and de-
stroy the malaria germs; that should
there be no severe weather he predicted
much sickness this year
