which corporation was awarded the
contract for safely delivering the mas

ly approached the harbor entrance.
When they had gotten inside the har-
Dor the United States yacht Penrose,

slowly came up to the navy yard dock

SUSPECTED OF MANY CRIMES.


Suspicion is growing that Tom and
Dan Hardy and Nathan Nathaniel, in
Jail at Augusta for the murder of Ed
Griffin three weeks ago, compose a
gang to which must be charged a num-
Der of black crimes committed in that
vicinity within the last few years. In
the fall of 1898 Mrs. j. o. Atkinson, re-
turning to her home in Edgeheld with
her husband, was killed by a shot
from ambush. For this crime two ne
groes were lynched. Now Dan Hardy
has confessed that he knows who fired
the fatal shot. As yet he refuses to
name the man who did 1t, but he saws
1t was neither of the two that were
lynched Only few months ago Mr..
w. l.. Collins. peddler, was shot and
killed just beyond North Augusta. The
deed was committed at night. and the
shot was fired from ambush. Mr..
Woods, who was with Collins in the
buggy, say the assailants, who were
negroes, whom he says he will be able
TO identity. He has been asked to
come to Augusta to look at these ne
groes in Jail, and ii is believed that
when he does he will identity two of
them as the murderers of Collins.
