BELIEVED NOT TO BE LIKELY IN
THE KEELING OF WILLIAM

County Attorney Has Been Advised
Against the. Prosecution Of the Con-
the Capture Of the Two Negroes
Finding Of c~oroner's Jury.

The coroner's jury investigating the
death of William Harris. the negro who
died at the county hospital Friday night
from a wound received at Buford that
day. returned a verdict that the mans
death was caused by parties unknown
to the jury.
There was a report current yester
day that Prosecuting Attorney Downey
would cause the arrest of Messrs Ca
hill and Fitzpatrick, the conductor and
pit boss respectively at the gravel pits,
been issued. He had the matter under
consideration, but had been advised
against the matter by some of the
county officers and himself believed no
jury would convict the men if they
were tried.
diamond. the negro In the county
Jail, was a sharpshOoter in the Span
ish-American war. in one Of the negro
regiments, and 1t is believed that had
he been able to make his rifle work the
story of the killing would have had a
different version. 1t would have been
a railroad man and not a negro to fall
with a bullet in his vital parts.
M. v. Latin. operator at the Sher-
man ONCE. tells Of the robbery and
gives the following description of the
supposed robbers: Two negros, one tall.
light coat, light corduroy pants and
wore leggins. Other negro somewhat
smaller. wore a dark suit. dark hat.
and carried a rife" He feels sure the
oficers found the right parties in the
wounded man and his companion.
The money stolen consisted Of a $40
bill. three silver dollars and a 5O-cent
piece. Mr.. Latin had Just gotten the
package ready to be forwarded by ex-
press. when his wife called him to the
dining room. He was gone not to x
coed fifteen minutes, and when he re-
turned the ticket window was down
and the package was gone. He left the
window up and believed he heard it
fall as the fellows removed the catch
holding 1t up when they reached in and
took the package lying near the win
dow.
