FRANKFORT, KY. June 3.-John
Maxey, a negro, who shot B. c. Bowers.
a circus man, last night, was taken from
jail here early today and lynched.
The jailer showed resistance to the mob
but with little effort the door was bro

hanged to the Saint Clair street bridge.
The action of the mob created intense
excitement among the lawabiding .citi-
zens of the capital city who were appris-

B. c. Bowers, the wounoed man, is still
in a critical condition at the Kings
Daughters hospital. The bowels were evil

Maxey narrowly escaped being lynched

roughly handled b ysome OF the showmen,
who beat him over the head with stakes.
After the shooting a crowd swarmed
around the negro, shouting, lynch him!
and in a moment a moose was around the
negro's neck; the loose end of the rope
was thrown over a tree and the crowd
was about to draw the negro up when

There was guest at the governors
mansion Wednesday night different from
any who ever slept there before.
He was a little 12-year-old boy direct
from the state reformatory at Milledge-
Vile, whittier he had been sentenced two
years ago from Fulton county. That af-
ternoon Governor Smith had gone in per-
son to the reformatory during his inspec-
ton OF the prison farm. He met the lad
and talked with him an hour. Then he
handed him a pardon and said,
Come, my boy; want you to go home
with me and spend the night"
Johnnie-that must be his name for the
general public-rubbed his eyes in bewil-
derment.
Me sleep at the governors big house?"
he exclaimed half to himself.
But by 9 o'clock that same evening
Johnnie was sound asleep between sheets
that breathed of lavender and an old
fashioned cedar chest. When he awoke
Thursday his host was there to say good
morning, and take him into breakfast
By Friday he will have entered upon his
education in a high-class industrial
school.
This is but one of the humanity interest
ing things that happened as a conse-
ledgeviIle. 1t was perhaps the first time
in Georgia's history that a chief execu-
tive walked through the prison farm with
it's clanking rows of inmates and held
face to face conversation with the prison
ers themselves.
THE GOVERNORS COMING"
1.-The governor is coming. The governor
is here"
Such was the strange message that
flashed like an electric spark along the
captive lines No petitions had been
presented; no pardons asked. The gov
ernor had simply decided on his ac-
cord that he would go down and have
talk with these men; pay them a
visit.
He had heard before Of Johnnie's case
He knew that the boy had been ar
rested in company with five older boys
who, fred with a reading OF pirate tales,
were caught breaking into a grocer's
store one night in 1907. Johnnie had
observed discipline like a regular SOL
dier.
You see, Mr.. Governor" he explain
ed, II really don't mind staying here
in the reformatory, because they're
mighty good to me, but I'm getting
along in years. I'm IL now and soon
I'll be a man. 1 don't want to have
to start my business life as a man
who's just been turned out"

tendent of the reformatory, turned aside

BURGE INDICTED
FOR UXORCIDE

George Burge, who is in the tower
charged with the murder Of his wife,
Mrs. Lovey Burge, was indicted by the
Fulton county grand jury Thursday
for murder. He will be tried at the
next term of court.
Burge was indicted on the testimony
of his step-children, Frank Britton,
sixteen years old, and Little May Brit
ton, his junior. They positively iden-
tilted Burge as the man who entered
their room at / o'clock on the morning
that Mrs Burge was stabbed to death
in her home near the Seaboard shops.
Young Britton said that he was cut
chased Burge out Of the house with a
most brutal ever committed in the
county.
Burge claims an alibi. He says that
he spent the night at the home of
George McCravy, a cousin. McCravy
and his wife and their daughter are
held in 5000 bail each as witnesses.
Burge insists that he spent the en-
tire night at McCravy's house. The
dogs of the county police, however,
followed the trail from the Burge
home to McCravy's house. Officers
also said they found blood on Burgess
clothes.
Mrs. Burge had previously had
Burge arrested for wife beating, and
said that he mad made threats to take
her life.

talked to him was remarkable.

did it all of a sudden and now you see
I'm no more good I'd like to go back
home and die among the folks that care
for me-"
1t was an old man who spoke. He had
dragged himself into the room. His body
was twisted like a tree the lightning has
blasted. During the long, bitter years OF
his toll in the slate mines, boulder had
torn loose from it's hold in the earth above
his crouching back and had crushed him
deep beneath its avalanche. From that
moment he was paralyzed.
THE BLIND CONVICT.
Still another prisoner came. This one
had to be led, for both his eyes had been
stricken out one day when the fuse for a
quarry had been lighted. He was negro
a typical southern darby of the old plan
tation sort, whose only companion since
blindness seized him has been his banjo.
And so, one after another, these wards
of the state came and went until thirty
or more of them had talked to the gov
ernor 1t was something new in the pris-
on system of Georgia.
What the results of the visit will be
so far as pardons or definite procedure
will be- is not known, for Governor Smith
is reticent about his trip. 1t is considered
certain however. that three men will be
given their liberty.

ALDRICH ADMIRES EMPEROR.
Mr.. Aldricn said that his criticism
was directed towards the effort to use
the information from Germany to In
fuence American legislation. He por-
ceeded to express his great admiration
for Emperor William. and the German
people and then read a number Of
extracts from the German report TO
show that there had not only been
an effort to influence legislation, but
that the report contained criticisms of
the house committee on ways and
means. Senator Depew spoke in jepre-
ccation Of the entire incident, saying
that ii ives absurd TO think That the
German goveSnmNlt had in reality
given serious consideration to the mat
ter.
Mr. Stone concluded his presenta-
tion of the question by saying that
while there had not been a direct re-
traction, the dose had been so sugar
coated by eulOgies upon Germany as
to remove the bitter taste. Mr.. La
Toilette introduced a resolution calling

The owners of the Boulder property
are preparing to do considerable develop
ment work on the exceptionally large
veins at that place. Here is an oppor-
tunity for capital to develop one Of the
most gigantic mining propositions in the
entire country, if not in the world, as
there is no limit to the amount of ore,
carrying good values, that can be easily
and cheaply mined. With excellent
water power right at hand, plenty Of tim
Der and other favorable natural advan-
tages the Boulder bids fair to become one
of the greatest mining camps in the west.
