IT WAS HER SON.
Georgia Woman Who Had offered a Re.
ward for Murderer Was Mortified
When the Arrest Was Made.

Atlanta, Ca, July 2l.-The supreme
court handed down a decision in the
case against Mrs. Sarah Campbell. in
which the defendant is ordered to pay
a reward for the apprehension of her
son as his brothers murderer. The
story begins with the murder Of VIII
liam c. Campbell, the elder son of Mrs.
Campbell. Mrs. Campbell was asked if
she would guarantee the payment Of a
reward for the murderer. She says A.
L. Mercer and others told her the
real murderer was negro who
had quarreled with her son. Mrs.
Campbell signed her name to
the paper offering the reward and
guaranteeing its payment. When the
arrest was made, Mrs. Campbell was
Mortified to find that it was her only
son, James M. Campbell. She then re-
sisted the payment of the reward, say
ing that she had been deceived, belev-
ing that the murderer was negro.
But the question Of law and fact was
stronger than sympathetic appeal, and
the supreme court affirmed the decision
Of the lower court. Mrs. Campbell,
having lost both sons, will be COM
pelled,to pay the reward which secured
the conviction of the fratricide.
