piled with halr-dye.
This all happened in the forenoon of Tues
day, the 18th of this month. That afternoon
I paced restlessly, back and forth, thinking
over that bad-eyed mans yarn. It began to
dawn OF me that I was putting myself and
Suppose that he had accepted, instead of de-
clined, the offer made to him? Suppose that
he, poor man, with family on his hands
Ga wife and three children) had been lured
by the sight of sudden riches? Suppose that
he had fallen in with the three would-be as
sassins, and that everything was juSt as he
was stating, save that he was not told every
thing until after they learned that he arou7d
become party to the crime? And what bet
ter plan could be devised to get past my line
of defence than to send an ignorant labor
ing man to me with carefully prepared
story and thus get on the inside9
AS [ tested the mans story piece by piece,
in the alembic of my experience as crimi-
nal lawyer, comparing his statements with
known facts and human probabilities, my
confidence faded, and the certainty grew on
me that behind this man and connected with
him was something terrible
Instantly, l set men to watch him and to
prevent his leaving town. The guard around
the house, that night, qo0S doubled, and the
system changed, completely. Then [ went
to bed and slept soundly, for [ knew nothing
could break through the line of defense. Next
day came telegram from Bostwick which
sent me to the telephone as quickly as [
could go: "Arrest that man. # he at
tempts to resist, or escape, shoot him d0Un."
This message went to the officers and to
several friends, and Hutchins, white as a
sheet, was tazen-not an hour too soon. He
meant to leave on the next train to Augusta.
Suspecting that he was being kept under
surveillance, he told Marshal Ivey tsnat he was
going to Augusta to haze his hair dyed. If
We hadn't nabbed him he would never have
been seen here any more.
WHO IS j. II. HUTCHINS?
He went to BOstWick less than two months
ago. From achot place.? Where was he re-
siding before he moved to Bostwick? How
came he to 90 there? Where was he on the
18th, 18th and 10Th of February, last?
Who knows his record? What is his char
acter?
He left Bostwck, for Thomson, on the
morning of June 10Th; he should have ar
day, and could have reached Thomson at 6
o'clock the same evening. Coming by way
of Macon he should have been here at Z 80
on the 10Th. Where was he Monday night?
Joe Ross is a factory-hand living in the,
factory settlement of Thomson. He says that
Hutchins visited him here two years ago. He
told my daughter that he and Hutchins had
been together most of the afternoon. (Of
Tuesday, 13th.) Ross manner and replies
were SO suspicious that Mrs. Lee came home
in state of great excitement.
Hutchins told me he had never read TIE
JEFFERsoNIAN, and that he had heard the
rumor of the attempt on my life only few
days before he was with the three men in
Jacksonville. But when Mr.. John CARTRIDGE
spoke to him, down town, he asked, care you

other mill-hand that if IIutchins would tell
what he (Hutchins) knew, he (Hutchins)
'would get that reward"
Frankly, 1 confess that the known facts
are bathing Hutchins made no secret of his
intention to come to Thomson. He told sew
eral persons at Bostwick and to each he told
a different story. He had begun to act and
talk in Thomson in such way as to make
himself and me objects of r5dicuzc. He had,
also, begun to inquire into MY system Of self
protection. He wished to learn, quickly, my
present places of work and recreation. He
gave conflicting accounts of himself and of
his former visit to Thomson. And, since his
arrest, his craven fear, and his eagerness to
talk to me again, are conspicuous. He has
not tried to get into communication with any
relative, any outside friend Joe Ross
seems to be his sole dependence
Luther Neal thinks he recognizes, in
Hutchins the man he saw in George Ross
buggy, coming to town early that Tuesday
morning. Ii so, the man may have come by
way of Sandersville.
Here is a pen picture of the noble creature
who h7eea0 that the murder of Watson's
wife, as we'll as that of Watson himself, was
intended by his room-mates, the dynamite
beng there IN the ToOna; and who would not
lift finger to the police, or to Watson, until
after has 1'O0nomo0tes had had ample time to
put their hellish plot into execution.
Nearly SIX feet in height; hollow chested,
long arms and legs, shackly built, erect car

feet small for a man SO tall; shoes of

shoes are finer than is in keeping with the

well-rounded. Teeth much soiled, almost
dark near the gums, and shorter and squarer

The Preliminary Trial

Was held after the above was put in type.
Hutchlns was the very picture Of sullen
rage. He made no statement, and offered no
evidence. He was committed to jail for cheat
ing and swindling, the only charges we are
now prepared to prove.
1t came out that Joe Ross father-in-law
lives with Hutchlns at Bostwick. Luther
Neal identified Hutchins q. the man he saw
in George Ross buggy early on Tuesday
morning, June 18th. He also testified that
as George Ross drove out of Thomson, on his
way home about 10 o'clock that morning, no
one was in the buggy with him.
AS Leonard Lee was driving Hutchins up
to the house, he told Lee that he did not know
Mr.. Watson and had never heard of him UNI
til a few days before. He asked Lee what
room Mr.. Watson worked in. On his arrival,
he acazhed straight to mr. Watson, aoAo acaS

Investigation disclosed the fact that he had

never been sent to Jacksonville to measure
lumber.

Review Of the
Palm Program

ellis Trust" and its sequel.
Ellis Trust fulfilled" as was ad
vertised and shown last night
was without a doubt the hest
two reels that we have have ev-
er had at the Palm. For real
dramatic value, and a general
excellence, the Biograph Co.,
have produced two pictures in
these reels in question, that has
seldom, if ever been equalled.
At this time, when the quality
and real values of a picture car
lies such an import, these pict-
ures came as a boom to US.
The number of people that s, p
ed and testified about the e
reels, gives US the courage to
make the broad statements
that we have made in the fore
part of this review. If you
haven't seen the program, do
so tonight. Ask anybody that
was in attendance last night,
and we think that they will CO.
oberate our statements.
