Atlanta, Ga, September s.-H. S.
Perry was hanged for the murder OF
Belly Lanier, at Decatur to-day. The
execution took place on gallows in the
yard of the Dekalb county Jail.
The doomed man was pale, but cool
and collected to the last. On the scat
fold he declared his innocence OF the
crime of murder and reiterated his
statement that he killed Lanier to pro-
tect the sanctity of his home.
The drop fell at 11:43 a. m.
Horace Stephen Perry was conduct
ing a small grocery business in Atlanta
ne, cnnmitted the crime for when
day. '-io
To supplement the family's income,
Mrs. Perry took boarders at their home
on Piedmont avenue, and among these
was Belly Lanier, young theological
student.
The domestic relations Of the Perrys
were not happy. Perry had become in
fatuated with woman Of questionable
character. In the troubles that arose
from this liason Lanier became involved
and as result Perry shot and mortal
ly wounded him in the court house at
Decatur on Monday, March Sth
After lingering for few days Lanier
died from the effects of the wound.
Both men were under arrest when the
shooting occurred, having been taken
into custody at Ingleside, to which
place Perry had followed Lanier for the
avowed purpose Of avenging an insult
to his wife.
Though both were searched, Perry
succeeded in concealing a pistol and
no sooner had the party entered the
court house at Decatur than he fired
upon Lanier.
After the shooting Perry said that his
only regret was the fear that Lanier
might live. He declared that Lanier
had outraged Mrs. Perry
Lanier strenuously denied that he
had committed the assault, and before
his death made statement in which
he said Perry was angry because he
Oanier) had told Mrs Perry Of Perry's
alleged relations with other women.
The case was appealed to the State
Supreme Court. which refused to grant
new trial. Strong pressure was then
brought TO bear on Governor Atkinson
to save the condemned man, but after
granting respite to allow himself time
to investigate the case, the Governor
refused to interfere. The sole plea of
the defense throughout was that Perry
killed Lanier to ayenge an outrage upon
his wife

the doctor had not been entirely con-
WINGED that any yellow fever has exist

DR.. Guiteras will count to that express
ed by the four who declared the cases
they investigated were yellow fever.

THEREAL REASON
Why John Heller Was Arrested on a
Charge of Trespass by the Wheeling
Lake Erie Goal Comyauy

Lake Erie Goal Company.
Special to the Register.
STEUBENvILLE. W. Va. September 8.
The alleged reason why John Heller. the
Long Run miner, was arrested on a
charge of trespass preferred by Supt.
Roby. has come out in a statement sent
out from Dillonvale by the miners Heller
was elected to represent the Long Run
and Dfllonvale miners at the miners con-
vention at Columbus. and the w & L. E.
miners voted TO continue the strike for
so cents for Ohio and hang out for that
figure as long as the rest do. Their union
has now 703 members. The Long Run
band and the miners of that place cele-
brated Labor Day by marching to Dillon
vale in a body. Heller was arrested, they
say, mainly to prevent his going to Col
umbus, and his arrest came near causing
a collision. as nearly 200 Hungarian min
ers gathered to take Heller from the con-
stable or do bodily injury to the official.
and they were only quoted by the assur-
ance Of Heller. who satisfied them that
he would be on hands to go to Columbus.
His trespassing consisted in simply walk
ing on the company's tracks. but what
damage he did TO the tracks remains 20
be ascertained. The w & L. E. miners
in this county. who are in destitute cir
cumstances, are getting in a mood which
makes it dangerous to make farcical ar
rests il their presence.
