ILL HEALTH URGED ON
HACKETT'S BEHALF.
Prisoner Was Examined by DIR. KeI-
Ter in His Cell at the Jail.

Prisoner Was Examined by DIR. Kel-
Ter in His Cell at the Jail.
r. A. Hackett, who pleaded guilty
to conducting a gaming house, and
who was sentenced to pay fine of 800
and serve six months on the chain
gang, and in default of payment of
the fine, to serve an additional six
months with the county forces, will
leave this morning, with the City
Court culprits who were sentenced at
yesterdays criminal session, for the
changing, to commence serving his
sentence.
On the last day before his term be-
gan to run, another effort was made
to prevent the negro's going to the
gang. His attorneys rendered two ply
sicians' certificates yesterday morning
to the effect that the prisoner was In
i'll health, and not we'll enough to do
manual labor. The matter was refer
red to County Physician Keller who
conducted an inspection of the accused
shortly before o'clock at the Jail DR..
Keller announced, after the inspection,
that though Hackett had some all
ments, they were not of such nature
as to warrant his being placed in the
Jail hospital. He said that there were
hundreds of negroes singing the pick
with the county forces who were SIM
ilarly, or equally as afflicted.
Hell have to go to the changing
house" said the county physician, as
he came out of the Jail. And unless
the unexpected happens, to the chain
gang he will go to-day. The prisoner
presented a rather well-to-do appear
ance in his cell. He wore a neat suit
of clothes, and from his waistcoat was
suspended heavy gold chain and seal
fob. When he reaches the camp this
morning he will be provided with an
other suit.
The motion in arrest of Judgment
will be heard on June /, on Judge Bar
rows return from North Georgia. 1t
is probable that the matter will find
its way to the Supreme Court.
