Murderer Perry Dropped to
Death Coolly, But the Sher-
iff Almost tainted.

The Knife Used In the Murder
OF Mrs. Leutgert Produced
In COurt.
A VILLAGE IS DESTROYED

ATLANTA, Ca, September 8.-The
history OF the crime for which Hora
L. Perry was hanged, to day, is as fol-
lows: Belly Lanier informed Mrs.
Perry Of ferry's infatuaiio,nrr for another
woman, and this SO enraged Perry that
he lay IN wait for Lanier for days with
4 revolver. Perry was apprehended,i
and promised not to harm Lsnier,
whom he, Perry, charged with assault
ing his wife, but no sooner was he re-
leas d than he shot Lanier IN the back,
IN cold blood. The jury found him
guilty Of premeditated murder and
sentenced him. Mrs. Perry made q
personal and sensational plea to Gov
ernor A, ,kinson for her husbands life,
but the governor refused to interfere.
Perry passed his last night on earth,
very calmly. His wife and five ch Id
rem re NAMED with him all night, until
5 O'Clock this morning, and break
tasted early. He bade them last
good bye, and his wife and Oldest boy
went to Decatur with him, but the four
other children parted VITA him finally,
| in great anguish. Perry for once conn.,
pletely broke down, but sfter their de-
parture, regained his nerve and made
his last preparations.
His coffin was selected yesterday,
and he paid in advance for all OF his
i burial expenses. He said he did not
fear to die, and did NOT regret the kill
ing Of Llnier. AT 6 :l5 O'Clock he was
taken to Decatur, eight miles distant,
his wife andson following later.
With defiance on his lips, Perry met
his doom at II Al, this moEning, when
his body shot through the trap, and DC
suffered death for the murder OF Belly
| Lanier. While the execution was tax
ing place, the jail was surrounded oy
! several Thousand excited men. and al
the last moment arrived, Sheriff Aus
tin became thoroughly ratified IN tht
performance Of his duty. When the
hanging was over, he almost fairtse
