RUMORS OF A LYNCHING.
Soldiers May Have TO Guard Robin
son when He liz Hung.

Atlanta, Aug. 2S-Rumors reached the
capital to-day that lynching might save
the sheriff of Cobb county the trouble of
hanging Sam Robinson next Saturday at
Marietta Robinson is the negro who SO
brutality assaulted Mrs liner about f1f-
teen days ago near Smyrna. He was
caught. confessed and was tried and SEN
fenced to hang next Saturday. Atlanta
soldiers, ordered out by Gov. Gambler. sur
rounded the Court House and kept the
mob away while Robinson was being
tried.
Robinson is now in the tower, where he
has been since the trial. During the early
part of this month.
He has been kept very quiet since he
was sentenced. 1t was thought. by keeping
the man in Atlanta until the day set for
the hanging, that all the sentiment
against him would die down, but it seems
that the people of Cobb county are still
angry, and IL is now expected by some
that soldiers will have to be sent back
to see that the law is carried out The
gallows is being erected and every pre-
caution is being taken to see that the
death trap is in perfect order.

FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE.
HIRAM SHARPE PAID THE PENALTY
ON THE GALLONS.

Was Hanged at Noon Yesterday in
Decatur-Rode in Trolley Car
From the Atlanta Tower to the
Decatur JaiI-The Condemned Man
Was Mentally and Physically De-
moraIized-His Last Words Upon
the ScaRoId.
Atlanta. Aug 2s-For the murder Of
his wife Hiram Sharpe paid the penalty
of death on the gatlows al Decatur to
day at noon. So completely demoraizcd
was the man. mentally and physically,
that the officers found it necessary to
place him ua,f-g the influence of NOR
phine. practically. at least, before they
could get him to mount the scanoid.
Sharpe spent last night in the tower in
Atlanta. At $50 this morning under
guard of TWO officers he boarded troll
ley car and was whirled along over tic
winding tracks, through green fields and
tangled groves, past quiet, peaceful aui
beautiful suburban homes on and on to
the gallows.
The car stopped at Decatur and the
man, weak physically, supported by ;he

had gathered in front of the jaiI to see
the fated man brought in. They watched
him curously as he walked up the street.
At about Il O'Clock the relatives. who
had been with Sharpe, left MIN and came
down stairs. They were weeping bitterly
as they left the jail. Upstairs Sharpe
had put on the new sui, Of sober black
they had bought for him and clean
shirt. He was ready
Sheriff Talley cook Sharpe by the arm
and led him 10 the trap. AS he stepped
on this the Court House clock pealed 70
O'clock. He stood alone on the trap for an
instant, and those with him on the plat
form crowded about him for the last
goodbye, the last word, the last hand
shake, he would ever give them. The most
of the eyes that saw him as he stood
there were wet with sympathetic tears.
Goodbye, goodbye" he said, and
grasped fervenuy each hand that was Of
fered TO him.
The rope was tied about his neck He
asked that a handkerchief be placed over
his eyes. This was done. For an instant
he stood silent and then said Il forgive
everybo l have been mis- treated but
the Bible tells me that as l forgive, so
shall be forgiven. l forgive them all ev-
erythng. l love everyone alike and l hate
no one now That is all l have to say"
He finished speaking, and Mr.. Talley
placed the black cap upon his head. 1t
was drawn gently down and tied. The
rope was placed about his neck, the moose
slipped and tightened, and those about
him stepped back
The signal was given. The trap flew
open with a clatter, and the body of the
hot oh a
jerk that drew his limbs up the fall was
stopped The neck was evidently broken.
The body hung limp. without a culver or
a tremor
Sharpe killed his wife because she would
not live with him.

A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.
Speculation Mt ThOmnsvilIe over the
Death of Man.

Thomasvile, Ga, Aug. ga well-dress-
ed stranger was discovered yesterday
morning near the railroad track at Mil
lers brick yard, about six miles from
Thomasvine, in dying condition. He was
taken to house and doctor sent for
but he soon expired from apoplexy. The
doctor stated that the man was evidently
not a common tramp. He has with him
a passport, signed by Secretary of state
Hay. and also naturalization papers Is
sued in Kandiyohi county, Minnesota.
These documents showed his name to
be Anton Heinz. He was about AZ years
old 5 feet 10 inches In hight, brown eyes
oval chin and face dark hair and com
plexion. He had a leather bag, In which
were numerous toilet articles, such as
a gentleman would use. There were also
a photograph taken in Litchfield, Mimi, of
two men and two ladies in group and
religious German book. Two dollars and
a half were in his pocket and two bank
books. one of the Capital City Bank in
Atlanta and the other of Maddox & Ruck-
er, Atlanta, both showing balances due
him on June 80 the former of 800 and the
latter of 1920
The theory is that he was temporarily
demented and had wandered away.

TALKING ENCAMPMENT.
Officers of the state May Secure an
Appropriation.

OHcers of the state May secure an
Appropriation.
Atlanta, Aug. 2S-The military of the
state will ask the general assembly for an
appropriation sufficient to establish the
old system of state encampment every
year. No encampments have been held
in Georgia for several years. and the
officers now in the service of the state
are anxious to get their commands into
camp.
This year several of the commands es-
tablished camps of their own, but it was
necessary for the men to be assessed to
pay the expense. For several years the
Legislature made a sufficient appropria-
ton to pay the expenses Of half the state
troops for camping tour of one week
at Griffin, Ga, but since the Spanish
American war, the troops have not been
together except when they paid their own
expenses.
Inspector General Obear said this morn
ing he understood that the officers of the
state and there are over 800 of them
would make a vigorous effort to have the
military appropriation increased, and if
they were successful in that effort, 90
have the encamDments established.
Gov. Gambler is said to be strongly IN
favor of this movement, and it may be
that he win recommend the measure 10
the Legislature. T. w. Hardwick of
Washington, will probably introduce the
bill
The militia is in better condition now
than il has been for years. Since the re-
organization in February, there has been
big improvement More interest is be-
ing shown by the officers than ever be-
fore, ard recently it has been necessary
10 order out several companies for state
services.
