HANDSOME HARRY HILL.
ATLANTA'S SWELL EX.CONVICT Is
ON A NEW TRAIL.
He Returns to Atlanta and Wakes a
Business Proposition to the Man
Who Was Chiefly InStru-
mental i'm Sending Him
Up for Forgery.

Harry Hill, the handsome ex-convict
aud all-round gay boy" is back in At
lanta again, although it was stated upon
what seemed to be reliable information
at the time he was pardoned by Gov.
Atkinson that he had agreed never more
TO set foot in those precincts.
lie has SAID little about his future
plans in a business way, but one step at
least since his arrival in town may fur
nish the foundation for sensation be-
fore the end of his varigated career.
1t will be remembered by those who
read the newspapers about the time that
Hill disgraced himself in the eyes of the
public that the person who filed the
roll of his Nemesis was Banker j. r.
Tol e5pu of Atlanta, the little red-hcad-
ed ~ who has had N IRE legt) battles
in the local courts than any other man in
the town. Harry had sold TOllesOn one
OF the notes which were alleged to have
been forged and which were proved
forgeriCs to the satisfaction Of the jury
which tried him.
Tolleson held that Hill had grossly
outraged his friendship and was very
bitter against him. He 1T was who flood
ed the country with circulars and re-
wards for the fugitive when the gay
young man made his sensational exit and
ia the end it was TOllesOn more than
anyone else who insisted upon vigorous
prosecution.
In view of these facts it might be i'm
agined that Banker TOlieson would be
about the last man on earth that Hill
would care to run across, much less meet
% friendly terms. But Harry's friends
always said that he was not like most
people, and SO excused him for many
things that would have been inexcusable
in any one else. This popularity prOba-
bly, explains the fact that Harry bad not
been in town long before he made bee
line for TOllesOn'S office in the Inman
building. Banker Tolleson told some of
his friends about the visit, and while he
refused to tell what its purpose was to
the newspaper reporters, who have been
after him, it is known that Hill unfOlded
70 him a scheme which for audacity and
brazen Self.COntidence beats anything on
record,
He confessed that he still owes Tolle-
son snug sum, although he said he las
wiped out old scores by wearing the
stripes at Kramer, SO far as the law is
concerned, and the proposition he made
10 the little banker contemplated a pay
ment of this old account if his scheme
should be successful
Tits no.. a Klondike adventure that the
gay and festive Harry proposes to make
his fortune out of either, but a scheme
involving plot which, if he undertakes
ID carry it out, will make a more lurid
sensation than anything he has ever fig
aired in heretofore. What he needed, he
said to Tolleson, was a little ready money,
and he asked the banker, who is already
out Of pocket several thousand dollars
on his account, to "stake' him, but
Toleson has lost faith in the handso ne
mans visions, and he says he declined to
back him.
Hill may find some other "angeln to
stake him, and if he does there will sure
y be another mel9dramatic chapter to
his already theatric career
