W. A. Gober, who has been in jail at At
lanta several months on the charge Of muir
der, was released Friday morning on HIS own
recORnizance. GOber was permitted by Judge
Clark to sign bond for IS 900 for his appear
ance at court when required The cause of
GOber's release is the inability to secure the
only witness to the killing. Pease was the
name OF the negro that was killed, and he was
brother Of Palmer Pease, and also brother
OF the negro Pease who was respited at Mari
eta Just few days before the day set for his
execution. There are two stories told about
the killing. one is TO the effect that ober.

ter at the time. was drinking with Pease aud
quarrel ensued According to this story,
Gober, while drunk, blew Pease S brains out
and made good his escape, being captured at
Eastman and lodged in Fulton county Jail
The other story is that Gober was going to
town late one evening and told Pease, who
worked for him, about IT, Gober was eating
his supper when Tease, who thought he had
gone, came In and asked Mrs. Gober for
whisky. When Pease opened the door IL hid
Gober from view, and emboldened by his
employers absence. he made an insulting re-
mark to Mrs. Gober. The husband caught up
a shotgun and blew out the nogros brains.
Albany Herald From parties who we're in
the city yesterday, the Herald learned of
at Camilla few days ago, in which promi-
nent lawyer, buggy whip, negro man and
three negro women played a conspicuous
part 1t appears that the daughter Of the
said lawyer was walking along one of the
prominent streets OF Camilla when she met
the negroes. The young lady offered to give
half the sidewalk, but this did not satisfy the
negroes and the negro man deliberately
showed the young lady clear off the sidewalk
Highly indignant at the treatment to which
she mad been SUBJECTED, the young lady at
once told her father, who, thoroughly in
cenSed at the recital, took his buggy whip and
went in search Of the negroes, whom he knew
he could identify. And he 70 nd them On
the negro man the lash was laid with all the
fury at the command OF a robust and indIg
nant father Blow after blow was admins
tered with telling effect until the officers ap-
peared on the scene. Immediately after the
/ horsewhipping the lawyer was arragued be-
evidence IN its entirety, after which he ad-
dressed the prisoner: Col - you stand
before me convicted OF disorderly conduct-a
| violation OF the city ordinance-and it be-
| comes my painful duty TO impose upon you q
| fine. You can contribute to the city the sum

Some rare sensations came to light at Co.
| lumbus Thursday as the result OF recent IN
| vestigatons by the grand jury of Muscogee
county. a few days since David Rothschild
appeared before the body and had Sam Crane

ing that the said Crane had applied oppro-
! brious eplthets TO him during the trial of a
/ suit in Justice Mondays court Crane was
! accorded a trial in the superior court last
| week, and Notwithstanding 1t was proven that
| he used indecent language OF the lowest type
| in referring to RothsChild, whom he was suing,
/ he was acquitted. Rothschild asked for pro-
| lection from the court at the time, but Crane
| was allowed to proceed without even being
| reprmanded. This led to an inquiry into
| Justice Munday's methods by the grand Jury,
| and in consequence of which an Indictment for
| malpractice was returned against the Judge.
| a bill OF accusations TO disbar Attorney
| Crane was also recommended and signed by
| Judge Butt. Among the charges alleged in
! the bill is this: THAT the said sam c. Crane
| has been guilty of indecent behavior so as TO
| make himself a nuisance to his brother mem.
