THE MURDER.

Interest Revived In the Alleged Georgia
CIew-Corroborativs Evidence Is at
Hand-The Murderer Relieved to be n
Convict Now Serving n Life Sentence in
the Georgia Penitentiary for Another
Murder.
LITTLE Rock. Ark, Dec. 9.-1nterest
In the Pitts (Ga.) clew to the murderer
Of Hon. John NJ. Clayton, which had
about subsidized here, owing to the one
Of recent communications from Luther
Aiken, the Georgia convict guard, who
claims to be in possession of the name
Of the murderer, has been revived, and
it is now probable that the clew will
be investigated.
Sheriff j. ID. Clary of Bradley
ty, Ark, in an interview with Gov.
Jones, has related strong corroborative
evidence of the alleged fact that a
Georgia convict has confessed to the
murder of Clayton at Plummerville in
the autumn of 1889. Sheriff Clary says
that he has information from a former
citizen of Georgia, now living in Brad
ley county, that a Georgia convict made
such a confession to another convict,
and that the se~lf-confesSed murderer Of
John NJ. Clayton is now serving a
life Sc ntence for another murder in
Georgia. His name is withheld, but it
is stated that he is a former citizen OF
Arkansas and fled from the state i'm
mediately after numbering Clayton.
At the time the murder was committed
it was generally considered to be the
denoument of a political fight, but, ac-
cording to the confession, politics
played no part in the terrible affair.
revenge for an old grudge being the
motive given by the Georgia convict.
The state authorities say they will
leave no stone unturned to bring the
murderer to justice in this state, but
are in a quandary as to how it could
be done, should the murderer be found
serving a life sentence for murder in
another state. The state of Arkansas
has a reward of only $500 standing at
present for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer, but it is thought that
the relatives of the murdered man will
supplement the amount to the end
that the Georgia clew may be thor
oughly investigated.
