Atkinson Signs the telegraph Bill.

Atlanta. Ga, Dec T.-Gov. Atkinson to-
day approved the bill repeating the $50
penalty on telegraph companies for DELAY
in delivering a message. 1t was thought
last week that the governor would refuse
to sign the bill because he did not believe
1t to be in the interest Of the people. To-
morrow is the last day allowed the gov
ernor to pass upon bills. All that he does
not consider will become laws anyhow.

TWO HELD AS JOE DEAN.
Both Confess the Murder, But One Re.
tracts His Confession.

Both Confess the Murder, But One Re-
tracts His Confession.
Atlanta Ca, Dec. IA peculiar devel-
opment was added to the Leigh murder
case to-day. Two weeks ago H. B. Leigh,
a highly respectable farmer of Campbell
county, was decoyed from his house and
murdered by one of the hands on his
place named Joe Dean. The negro after
committing the horrible deed, went back
to the farmers house and was frightened
off by the daughter of his victim, who
received him at the muzzle of a shot gun.
week later Dean, or a negro supposed
to be Dean, was captured by one of the
searching parties. He was brought to
Atlanta, where he has been kept by order
of Gov. Atkinson to prevent his being
lynched. The negro confessed the crime
upon being brought here, declaring that
his object was robbery. News comes to-
day however, that another negro named
Joe Dean had been arrested at Hiawassee,
who also confessed having murdered Mr..
Leigh. To add to this peculiar circum-
stance the negro in jail here now denies
all knowledge of the Leigh murder, or of
his confession when arrested
