THB BUTLER KINARD MURDER.
GREENWOOD washington and Tom Gary, |
Colored, Arrested as Parties to
the Crime.

Greenwood Washington and Ton
Gary, colored, were arrested on Frida,
charged with the murder of j. Butle,
hlnard on the 2lst day of June, 1902
at klnard's house, four and one hall
miles from the city. The arrest was
made upon the confession of Elijah
Edwards, in Jail on the same charge,
coupled with other facts substantiatinp
Edwards confession and statement.
Edwards statement is to the effect
that the killing and subsequent burning
were accomplished by three other
negroes and himself. Two of these
other negroes he said were Washington
and Gary. Edwards says that all four
went to Kinard's house for the purpose
of killing Kinard and robbing him. That
ne stood back while Washington and
Gary went into the house. That Wash
lngton shot Kinard, and that Gary and
Washington then took what money they
could find, set the house on fire, came
out, and locked the door. That he and
Washington and Gary and the other
negro then went up the road and divided
the money, which amounted to $40. 90.
This statement, coupled with some
facts in regard to the watches recently
found in house on Kinard's place and
| identified by Mr.. Scholtz as Kinard's
watches, was considered sufficient to
Justify the arrest, and warrant was
placed in the Sheriff's hands and the
arrest made.
Greenwood Washington did not take
kindly tn the affair. When placed in
the iron cell the first thing he did was
to ask Edwards if he was the cause of
all this, and when Edwards said that he
was, Washington assaulted Edwards.
The officers, however, soon put a stop
to this little game and Washington and
Edwards and Gary have been spending
several days in the same cell in peace.
Gary was implicated by the verdict
of the coroner's jury, but at the testi-
mony taken at the coroner's inquest
the name of Washington did not appear.
At the coroner's inquest Gary testified
that the first he knew of the affair was
when Edwards came to his house while
Klnard's house was burning and woke
him up. He did not go to the fire to
attempt to save the house because he
said his wife tainted from fright and he
did not care to leave her. Gary also
testified that Edwards tried to get him
to leave the country with him, but that
he would not do so.
Edwards had skipped before the core
ner's inquesv and was not heard of I'M
til a few weeks ago, when he was cap
turcd in Florida by Sheriff Buford.
Tom Gary lived on the KinardN place at
the time of the crime. He was arrested
near Prosperity. Washington was
arrested in the city.

COL. DoDsoN NOT AcANDIDATE

The following interview from Hon.
II. A. Dodson in the Atlanta Journal
of recent date, viii doubtless put a
quietus upon the political Ramsey
Snifles who are ever endeavoring to
create strife in the Third district.
The Journal says:
Hon. ". 4. Dodson, of Americas,
former president Of the Georgia SEN
ate, was at the Piedmont this morn
ing. Mr.. Dodson says that the reports
which have beeu circulated to the ef-
feet that Congressman E. B. Lewis
would not be candidate for re-elec-
ton are without foundation. Tt has
been reported that Mr. Dodson would
make the race in the event Mr.. Lewis
| did not.
In speaking of the matter today,
Mr.. Dodson said;
'fMr. Lewis will be a candidate for
congress from the third district at the
next election. He has made very
able official, and the people Of the dis
trict viii send him back to congress
again. I am at loss to understand
how the report became circulated that
he would not run again.
Many of Mr.. Dodson's friends are
anxious for him to make the race, but
he viii not oppose Mr.. Lewis. Mr..
Dodson is one of the most prominent
men in the state, and said today he
had retired from politics and was
praeticing law.

The moral rottenness of society" in
Buffalo, as exposed by the Burdick
murder, is something fearful to con-
template. The Burdicks and the Pen
nels, it is asserted, moved in the chest
circles, yet the evidence that is being
adduced goes to show that they were
moral lepers, calculated to contami-
nate those with whom they CHANGED to
come in contact. It is all a pitiable

SENATOR sAcoNs VIEWS.

Senator Bacon has been in Washing
ton ever since the adjournment Of the
extra session Of the senate looking af-
ter various matters IN the different
in which his constituents
are interested. As senior senator
from the great state Of Georgia. there
is a heavy and constant demand upon
his services independent of the time
consumed and the labor expended in
the discharge Of his duties on the floor
OF the senate.
According to Washington newspa-
per correspondents Senator Bacon on
Wednesday in an interview tates his
position on the tariff reductions, hold
ing that too sweeping tariff reductions
would be impractieable. He says:
II think We should pull some OF the
bricks of the top of the wall, but not
attempt to rae the wall to the ground.
IT would lower rates to point
where labor would still be safe from
competitor of pauper European labor
and at the same time withdraw feder-
al protection through the tariff to the
interests that are now sheltered be-
hind prohibition rates and are enabled
thus to charge extortionate prices to
| consumers.
wherever you find trust that is
selling It's goods in foreign countries
at prices less than the prices at which
it is selling the same goods to Ameri-
can consumers you will, I think, find
that a pretty safe place at which to be-
gin reducing tariff on that class OF
goods.
you must not conclude from what
I say, that I am in favor of protec-
tive tariff, because I am not At the
same time, recognize the fact that
the Democratic party should attempt
to make a fight upon the lines which
really divide American thought at
present.
'fThe issue In the American mind al
this time is not between protection
and very low tariff. The real issue
which is now agitating the public
mind is the question, on the one hand,
Of an exorbitantIY high tariff under
which some trusts are enabled to op-
press the people by extortionate pric-
es, and on the other hand, a reason.

MR.. AILES' RESIGNATION,
Nothing Known About It at Treasury
Department.

Since the acquisition by the National City
Bank of New York of a large interest in
the Riggs National Bank of this city there
has been a strong undercurrent of talk in
Washington that Milton E. Allies, assistant
secretary of the treasury. would be made
vice president of the Riggs bank To repre-
sent the interests of the National City At
the Treasury Department nothing definite
is known Of the talk, except that Mr. Allies
is much liked by the officials of the National
City. of which Frank A, Vanderlip is vice
president. and that if a new vice president
for the Riggs Bank is selected Mr.. Allies
would undoubtedly be seriously considered
for the place. Mr.. Allies Is now in Florida,
where Mr.. Vanderlip is also taking a rest,
and the facts are not definitely known out
side of the Riggs and National City banks.
Secretary Shaw has received no official or
even personal intimation that Mr.. Allies may
resign his position in the treasury. He
knows that Mr.. Allies has been highly
praised by all the officials of the National
City Bank and that his services might be
sought by the Riggs people Mr.. Allies has
received number of offers from New York
financial concerns, and the chances are that
sooner or later he will sever his connection
with the treasury to go into private busi-
ness.
