ALF MOORE CONVICTED.
Negroes Confession Failed to Save His
Neck Elder Rawlings Brought
Into Court on a Cot.

ALI Moore, the negro accomplice.
charged Jointly with J. G. Rawlings
as accessory before the fact in ths
assassination Of the Carter children,
was put on trial at Valdosta, Ca, on
Thursday morning. and convicted in
about four hours. In the afternoon
]. G. Rawlings was arraigned and ths
selection Of a jury was we'll under way
when court adjourned until Friday.
Moores case was called the first
thing, and both sides announced
ready. The negro had employed no
counsel, and the court appointed
Messrs. Crawford, Woodward and
Smith to defend him. Solicitor Gen.
eral W. E. Thomas appeared for the
state. The selection Of a jury con-
sumed an hour and half, three panels
being called.
w. L. Carter was the first witness
for the state. His evidence, was
practically the same as that which
he gave on the stand in the trials of
the Rawlings boys.
No evidence was introduced in be.
half Of the defendant. He went to
the stand and repeated to the jury the
statements he swore to in the cases
against the Rawlings boys, detailing
the alleged trade made with the elder
Rawlings for the determination of the
Carter family, saying that Rawlings
promised to pay him 500 and give
him a fine revolver to do the work;
that after Milton and Jesse had killed
the Carter children and Carter began
to fire on them, ne got frightened
and ran away, making his way back
to Staunton, where he was arrested
a few days later.
Mrs Crawford of the defense made
an earnest plea for his client, and
the Judge delivered his charge before
the noon recess. The jury was ready
to report when Judge Mitchell return
ed from dinner. Many people thought
that, in consideration of the confes.
sion made by the negro, which has
done much to clear up the terrible
murders, that he should have received
a recommendation to mercy. AS it is,
the verdict will send him to the gal.
lows.
The trial OF J. G. Rawlings began
at 4 o'clock, and progressed with the
defendant reclining on couch, which
the Judge ordered brought into the
court room. The old man has not
been we'll for several days, and, when
the case was called, Attorney Cooper
moved for a continuance on the
ground that his client was not phys
ically able to undergo the trial, and
was too sick to sit in the court room
and assist his counsel.
Judge Mitchell stated that while he
was inclined to consult his sympathy
in the matter, still, under the show.
ing Of the investigating physicians,
who were interrogated, he felt 1t his
duty to overrule the motion for a con.
tinuance.

GALLOWS AND PRISON.
10 Fate Of Jesse and Leonard Rawlings.
jury DEGREES Death for One and
Life Sentence for the Other.

The trial Of Jesse and Leonard l.
Rawlings, on the charge Of the murder
of two children Of w. L. Carter, ended
at Valdosta, Ca, Wednesday after
noon with a verdict of guilty, but
recommendation for mercy for Leon
ard. This means Jesse will have to
hang, and that Leonard will spend his
life in the penitentiary, unless
higher court should decree otherwise.
It was five minutes after O'Clock,
Wednesday afternoon, when the jury
notified Judge Mitchell that they had
reached an agreement. The judge
was at the court house waiting for the
iury's decision, and the jury was very
quickly brought in. The foreman hand
ed the verdict to Solicitor General
Thomas. 1t read as follows:
1--WE, the jury, find Leonard Rawl-.
ings and Jesse Rawlings guilty, AMI
recommend that Leonard be sent to
the penitentiary for life."
The jury was polled. and each mem
ber acknowledged the verdict as hls.
The mother and sisters Of the con-
demned young men were present, ana
as the verdict was read out, the MOTH
er broke down and sobbed aloud, but
the girls showed little emotion. Leon
ard and Jesse received the verdict
with pale faces and bowed heads.
The entire morning session Of the
court was consumed by the speeches
of Solicitor General Thomas for the
state and John R. Cooper for the de-
fense.
Judge Mitchell charged the jury be-
fore the noon recess, and the body re-
tired to their room at 1888 o'clock
p. m.
Large crowds attended the trial,
but there was no demonstration of any
kind, and the best or order was OBJ
served in and around the court room.
Very little surprise was expressed at
the finding, as it semed to have been
about what the majority Of people ex-
pected, and is generally approved. Al
though the evidence against old man
Rawlings is said to be even stronger
and more direct than that against his
SONS, It is expected that his attorneys
will make determined fight in his
behalf, and the trial promises to be
one Of the hardest fought and host
interesting in the whole series. While
showing some signs OF breaking down,
he maintained his composure through
out the ten days Of the trials Of his
sons. He appears to realize more
fully, since the conviction Of his other
two boys, his pefilous situation, and
told his wife and daughters that they
would have to look out for themselves,
as everything seemed to be going
against him. He remarked to callers
at the Jail that he would have killed
w. L. Carter during a session Of ths
Valdosta city court some months ago,
but as he started to draw his pistol
Sheriff Passmore stepped between him
and his intended victim.

A new complication was disclosed
during the day when Superintendent
Curran of the New Orleans and
Northwestern railroad announced that
two passengers who had remained the
required length of time in the Slidell
detention camp and sought admission
into Mississippi had been turned
hack.
If the Mississippi health authori-
ties now refuse admission to holders
Of certificates of detention issued by
the marine hospital service, it will
result in the government abandoning
those camps, and then travellers will
have to either stay in New Orleanas
or 60 to points in the north and east,
and spend ten days before they can
return to Mississippi.
Mississippi Tightly Closed.
Governor Yardaman, acting for the
state board Of health Of Mississippi,
placed Adjutant General Fridge in
charge OF the state quarantine service
and all future aggressions against tho
yellow plague in Mississippi will be
conducted under the auspices OF the
adjutant generals Office.
The advance detail Of the officers
and men stationed at Camp B. F.
Ward, who were preparing the camp
grounds for the encampment of the
Mississippi National Guard. will be
utilized to supplant the civil force now
on duty throughout the state, and the
most stringent quarantine will be
maintained in the state.
General Fridge has issued impera-
tove orders to the soldiery to main
tain the quarantine at the point OF the
bayonet.
The state board of health received a
unique order from Governor Varda-
man.
It REQUIRES passengers through the
state to furnish aff1davits from physi-
clans, approved by the state or city
health boards to the effect that they
are in good health, and are not in,
fected or have rot been exposed to
cases Of yellow fever. This means,
practically that persons desiring to go
through to Michigan, Iowa, W7scon'
sin, Indian Territory or any other
of the places that are not bothered
with yellow fever epidemics, and has
nothing more serious to contend with
than smallpox, typhoid fever and spi-
nal meningitis, must do a deal OF
swearing and to go through some ex-
tensive red tape processes before tney
can check their baggage.
Texas has done pretty much the
same thing, and it is not possible TO
ride through that state westward
bound without similar red tape for
ma1tties or some detention.
