Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 27-Harry Hill
turned up in Atlanta, where he has been
badly wanted for some weeks past, at an
early hour this morning. He came from
Chicago arriving here In time to find
Sheriff Barne at breakfast, having gone
to his residence in a hack to surrender,
therefore throwing himself upon the hos
pitality of the sheriff. Hill visited his
lawyers home and his uncle, who is a
deputy sheriff The latter did not care
to have anything to do with his Don Juan
OF nephew and forwarded him to
the sheriff's house Without going
back to jail Hill was allowed to
make new bond in the sum of 81 600,
signed by his aunt Mrs. Ida III. Casey,
who signed his first bond, which was for-
feited last Monday on account of his nom
appearance in court Mrs. Casey is,
however, relieved of responsibility on this
bond for the same indictments, and when
he will be tried is still as much of an uns
certainty as ever.
ToLLEsoN oFFERRED COMPROMISE.
]. r. Tolleson, who has been pushing
the prosecution, said to-day that he had
been offered compromise on the notes
he holds II he would let up. He refused
to take anything but the full amount OF
his claim, and confidently expects to get
it all. He thinks he holds the winning
hand, as Hill will not be allowed to go
upon the stand and tell all
he knows about the famous Mrs Porter
notes, and he will not let up until he gets
his money. If Tolleson is paid and his
silence then gained, it is very probable
that the sensational case will be allowed
TO die natural death, as all any of the
note holders want is their money, and IL
they are paid it would be difficult to make
out a case of forgery
TO REMAIN IN ATLANTA.
Hill says he will remain in Atlanta
now, despite the reports that he is liable
to be shot full of holes by well known
citizen who wants TO avenge some of his
ISLANDERS Hill would not talk much
about his case, but had written out a
statement for the press, in which he says:
u was tried before the Chicago courts on
Monday last on habeas corpus writ,
Having given bond for s., 900, the Judge
released me and dismissed my bonds
men. Already Gov Altgeld had de-
| clined Gov Northen's request. I
knew was wanted in Georgia to protect
my bond of $4,000, but it being impossible
to be present, personally, In two courts
| 50 far apart at the same time, employed
the wires, assuring my Georgia counsel
OF my anxiety to protect the bond, and OF
my willingness To return. They answered,
as did my uncle, Mr.. Wellborn Hill, the
| deputy sheriff, advising me to surrender
to Otioer Jennings and return with him.
/ would not agree TO this. Already
| enough indignity had been heaped upon
me, and / did not, If [ could
avoid it, intend to permit any more,
l wrote Gov. Altgeld of my willingness to
return TO Georgia and face any issue there
might be against me. l also told my Chi
cago attorney, Maj. Blackburn, and they
both evidently believed in my sincerity.
My delay in reaching here in thus ex-
! planned. Without comments upon the
case at issue, which / suppose and trust
will soon appear before the courts for
ultimate conclusion, j have come alone
with the determination that has always
been my purpose TO protect my bondsmen,
stand ready to meet any consequences.
But you may believe me, when l tell you
| am almost exhausted In mind and body,
am utterly sick at heart, and deserve
the finale of all that pertains to this un-
fortunate AFFAIR."
