AUSTIN WILL NOT BE TRIED.
Died on Boat from Wounds at Cap
ture--The Body Hanged.

Ridgeland, May 2S.-Richard
Henry Austin, who was badly wound
ed yesterday by Sheriff Morris and
Officer Stavinger, near Newington,
Ga, and carried to Savannah for
treatment, cheated the law by dying
aboard the Attaquin, a boat, be-
tween Savannah and Bluffton, this
afternoon about 4 O'Clock. The Off
GERS had decided that it was safer to
move Austin from Savannah and
were also in hopes of getting him to
South Carolina soil alive, but ne
died half way between Savannah and
Bluffton.
How Austin Was Captured.
D. T. Padgett, ono of the commits
sioners of Hampton county, who was
at Newington, Ga, and who saw the
capture of Austin, told the story to-
day According to Mr.. Padgett's
story 1t seems that Sheriff Morris and
Mr.. Stavinger were at the home Of
Marvin FARRELL, about seven miles
above Newington, on Tuesday even
ing. Mr.. FARRELL was not at home
About dark negro came up to the
rear Of the house and asked for some
thing to eat, stating that he was wet,
cold and hungry. Miss FARRELL recog-
nized the voice as that Of Austin, he
having worked for Mr.. FARRELL in the
past. The young woman at once
communicated with Sheriff Morris,
who answered Austin, telling him to
wait, that he would bring him the
food directly.
Proceeding cautiously around the
house to the rear Sheriff Morris
caught sight OF Austin by the back
fence. The officer and the negro
raised their guns in deadly aim at
the same time, but Sheriff Morris
proved quicker on the trigger, and
the desperate fell desperately
wounded in the stomach with load
Of buckshot. Austin, reco vering
from the shock, reached out and
grabbed his gun, which had fallen
two or three feet from him. Point
ing the weapon at Mr.. Stavinger,
who had approached with Sheriff
Morris, the negro was about to fire,
but again he was not quick enough,
and before he could fire the arm that
steadied his aim fell limp at his
side, almost severed with a bullet

from the 44-calibre Winchester in
the hands of Mr.. Stavinger.
Austin, as he fell the second time,
shouted, Don't shoot any more;
surrender. He was immediately
dlsarmed. The negro held conversa-
tion with members of the possee who
gathered around him, giving details
OF his wanderings as a fugitive from
Justice. Austin admitted killing
Victor Bowers, but declared that the
other men had been shot by accident
by members of the posse. He said
that the reason he had taken Magis-
trate Edenfield's gun was because
the, South Carolina folks had taken
his overcoat. Austin said he had
moved over to South Carolina from
Georgia, had secured a piece of land
and had intended to settle down to
farming.

ONE NEGRO TELLS HIS STORY.
Negro Sweeper Says He Saw Frank
With Girls Body.
ATLANTA Journal, Goth

After he had been sweated for
more than four hours Thursday af-
ternoon, James Conley, the negro
sweeper at the National Pencil fac
tory, confessed, according to the de-
tectives, that he saw Mary Phagan' s
body after she was murdered.
| According to the detectives, Con-
ley lays the murder at the door of
| Superintendent Leo NJ. Frank, but
has admitted his own completely.
Conley explains, according to the
detectives, that he refused to tell the
whole story because he thought that
| Mr.. Frank was wealthy enough to
get him out Of the scrape
At $50 o'clock Conley was siiii
being Sweated by the detectives. Only
few words had been given to the
reporters at that time. The detec-
tives were reported as saying that
Conley admitted having seen Frank
with the girls body. The detectives
refused to say whether or not Con-
ley admitted having assisted Frank
in carrying the girls body to the
basement or whether he carried the
body there by himself.
Chief of Police Beavers would not
deny the seemingly authoritative re-
port that toniey had admitted to
the detectives that he attempted to
dispose Of the body Of Mary Pragan.
The detectives declared that Con-
ley steadfastly had denied that he
saw the actual crime committed
Little If any credence is placed by
the city detectives in the theory of
the officials ana employees of the
pencil factory that Mary Phagan was
killed by James Conley, the negro
sweeper, and that his motive was
robbery.
The detectives have accepted as
true Conley's second affidavit, in
which he swears that he wrote the
notes found by Mary Phagan's body,
and that he did so about o'clock on
the day of the murder, at the dicta-
ton of superintendent Frank, who
is now under indictment by the grand
jury.
However, they are somewhat puz-
zled by the discrepancies in the time
of certain occurrences as sworn by
Conley and testified at the coroner's
inquest.
Harry Scott, the Pinkerton detec-
tive who Is working with the city de-
'tectives on the Phagan case, and who
developed the fact that Conley could
write, notwithstanding his denials,
declares that the shortest route to
complete solution of the mystery Is
ito bring the negro Conley and Super
intendent Frank face to face. He
says the negro insists that he is anx-
ious and willing to confront Frank
with his story, and that if Frank and
his attorneys agree, they (Conley
and Frank will be brought together
to discuss the truth or falsity of the
negro's declarations.
The detectives are satisfied that
Conley wrote the notes, which he ad-
mits writing, They consider the
handwriting of these notes ident tical
with specimens written by Conley
Wednesday,
No doubt is entertained by the de-
tectives concerning Conley's admis-
sion that he was hiding in the pencil
factory on the morning of the mur-
der for they claim to have corrobo-
rated thoroughly from other wit
nesses certain incidents which occur
red at the factory that morning, as
detailed by Conley, and the negro
must have been there.
