CASE DISMISSED.

The case Of embezzlement against
Minnie Marion and John Kennedy on
a charge preferred by Louis Fuchs
was settled yesterday afternoon by
Judge Brissell discharging the pri-
soners. The day previous the coun-
sci for the defendants demanded a
jury trial, but yesterday withdrew
his application and requested that
the trial proceed. Judge BrisselFs
action in d~ischarging the prisoners
was due to the fact that the evil
dence submitted was not sufficient
to warrant his holding them. The
trouble sprang out of some difficulty
that Fuchs had over some change
that he claimed vas coming to hin
while visiting the dance hall.

HUNG AT LAST.
The Closing Chapter of a Noted
Case in Georgia.
Convicted of Hurder, Escaped from
Jail, Surrendered in California,
and Finally Hung.

A dispatch from Cardale, Ga, says
after having made two sensational
escapes and finally surrendering to
authorities in California, George w.
Bundrick was hanged in the Jail yard
there at noon Friday for the murder
of John Shredder.
This was the first execution to
take place in the new county of Crisp
and perhaps in any of the new coun-
ties created at the last session OF
the legislature. The trap was sprung
by Sheriff George W. Sheppard, for
mer sheriff of Dooly county in which
Office he officiated at several execu-
tions. There was not hitch.
Bundrick marched cooily to the
gallows and met his fate stoically.
He has been resigned to his fate for
some time, reading his Bible and con-
versing cheerfully with his death
watch. He had made desperate eff
fort to secure executive clemency.
In many ways it has been one Of
the most remarkable cases in the his
tory of the state. Several years ago
ir Dooly county feud grew up be-
tween the Bundricks and John Schro-
der.
George Bundrick and his brother
met Schroeder in the public highway
Schroeder and his wife were in bug
gy, and the Bundricks stepped from
concealment and shot Schroeder to
death and seriously wounded his
wife
Waiter Bundrick was sent up for
life. George Bundrick escaped and
after several months was captured.
On trial he was convicted and senten-
ced to hang. Then came a long legal
fight, which terminated in the SUI
preme court affirming the conviction.
Then followed the fight before the
prison commission to save Bundrick's
life. On the day prior to that on
which he was to die on the galloWs,
the governor granted respite. and
that night Bundrick escaped from
jail. For weeks nothing was heard
of him. Then came news of his sur
vender in California.
