CATTLE-The cattle trade here and at
every other point Is in extremely bau
condition; in fact, conditions at all mar
ket points are bordering on demorallza-
ton. This is due to the excessively large
receipts that the country has poured Into
all market points from the states that
were formerly under quarantine inc
market everywhere Is simply glutted with
killing cattle OF all kinds. that 10, steers,
cows and heifers. The cattle coming
from the guaranteed states can be used
only for slaughter at local packing houses
or for shipment to packing houses at
other points. This prevents feeder buyers
from purchasing the half fat or warmed
up oornted steers and leaves more cattle
OF that description than the packers have
use for Hence the unsatisfactory and
semi demoralized condition OF the market
noted above. The only remedy is for
shippers 10 hold the cattle back In the
country until the surplus beef has been
cleaned up. To stop shipments 10 this
point and turn them TO Chicago or some
other market will not help out in the
slightest degree, as all markets are In
practically the same condition or worse
than this.
Feeding cattle and stockers have been
in fair demand and prices on that kind
OF cattle were Just about steady.
shippers from states formerly under
quarantine must bear In mind that cattle
from thel- territory cannot be sold as
feeders. but must 20 ia packers for Inn
mediate slaughter IL would therefore
mean heavy loss should any stock cattle
or feeders be sent TO market from any
one. OF the states recently under quar-
antine.

Irby Disappointed
When Slayers Of
Wife Get Respite

Seth Irby, of Lewisville, Ga, was
visibly disappointed when he was In
formed at the county jail Friday that
the hanging of Robert Paschal,
George Hart and William Hart,
scheduled TO take place between the
hours of 10 and o'clock, had been
postponed Indefinitely because of a
motion for a new trial filed Thursday
by Judge Spencer r. Atkinson.
Mr.. Irby was the husband Of the
woman the negroes are charged with
numbering shortly before Christmas.
Despite the story tcld by Robert Pas
chal, which resulted in the motion for
a new trial, Mr.. Irby is confident that
they are guilty.
"Paschal says he knows the other
boys are not guilty. and also claims
to be innocent himself, but the evil
dence against the negroes Is too
strong to permit of any doubt as to
the guilt Of all three, in my mind
said he. ~ think the authorities have
the right men, and believe they should
pay the penalty"
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-06

When they got Sheppard out
on the changing, he staggered
around a while and then fell
down. When one of the guards
cursed him and told him to get
up the boy said he couldn't So
the guard said:
IAN right; II you're sick, Wen let
you rest Then they dragged the
boy up on the embankment and made
him lie down on the fiat top OF a big
stump
The boy lay there, grooming with
pain and not paying any attention to
what was going on. The guard. with
crafty smile on his face, came down
In the cut and ordered the Changing
to undermine the stump. There was
nothing else for us to do, so we I'M
dermined 1t.
Dragged Sick Boy in Dirt.
Then, without letting the boy know
what he was doing. the guard slipped
chain around the stump, and we
fellows In the gang had to yank the
thing down into the cut. The yank
we gave ii jerked the sick boy off on
the upside of the stump and he came
rolling and tumbling down into the
cut after IT, Then the guards fas-
tened the boy to the stump and
dragged him along with 1t away down
the cut.
"A few days after that, with whip
pings and such treatment as the
stump incident. the boy died. The
guards reported that he died OF acute
indigestion, brought on by eating
soap. Maybe Sheppard did eat soap
and maybe he didn't, but, anyhow, II
he did ! don't blame him; and | do
say he was murdered even If he killed
himself.
"One day, Just as they always did
when an Inspector was coming, Char
lie Webb and Thomson, a brother Of
the Thomson who was fired from
Adamsville, came around and ordered
a general cleanup of the camp.
Next day the inspector came and
everything was splck and span. l
was sick, sick as a dog | had been
beaten for 1t and was just about all
in. The Inspector don't remember
his name--came around and looked
kind OF sharp at me. Then Webb
stepped forward as kindly as you
please, and he saws to me-
Kind in View or Inspector.
You look sick, man. Is there
anything | can do for your / know
he was just pulling that stun for the
inspector to see, and | said there
wasn't anything the matter with me.

abused ! would Just about be killed
the next morning after the inspector
was gone. So l said no. Webb in
sisted. though. He said:
Now, II there's something ! can

do for you, say so. Let me bring YOU
some hot coffee and bacon and eggs.
Do you think you could eat it?' Well.
/ hadn't had anything decent to eat
for so long that, in spite Of being
sick, ! was dead hungry, and | sail
to bring It,
Webb said all right, he'd take care
or 1t. And he brought me the stuff
and was just as nice as pie while the
| Inspector was around. But the next
morning he brought the whipping
boss with the strap, and l tell you
that hound just about killed me.
He made me bare my back and get
down on my hands and knees. Then
he drew back on that strap with The
copper rivets in It and he brought me
blow with that thing that Knocked
me three feet Then he stopped ami
bawled out for someone to come AMI
hold me, and then he went on lashing
away.
Present Policeman Cruel Guard.
/, And speaking of whippings. you've
got a man on your police force here
in Atlanta right now who could han
die strap about as fiendishly as any
man | ever saw. When | was in the
convict mines on April 1, 1909. that
man whipped me SO much and so
hard that | couldn't lie on my back
for three solid weeks If l could have
slept at all, would have slept on my
face.
Another nice little trick that this
man played on me was to have nv
hair cut. The way he did 1t was by
taking a deeply nicked razor and lit
orally dragging the hair of one-h half Of
my mead out by the roots The rest
of the hair he left on my head
THE worst thing a man could do
at that Buckhead camp, where DON
aldson was. captain then, was to even
look like he wanted to get religion.
OF course. there are always some fell
lows like that in every place; but |
want to tell you that a convict camp
in Fulton County Is mighty poor
place to get religion. The guards'll
come nearer beating a man TO death
for that than they will for anything
else that l know CT. | never tried It,
because ! had better sense l got
hammered enough as 1t was.
Whipped on Raw Flesh.
There was poor devil out there
at Buckhead by the name OF Lee
Hardlman. He was up for SIX years.
and the guards had 1t in for him for
some reason. !. myself, saw them
whip that man when he had already
been whipped so much that there
wasn't spot on his back from the
shoulders to the hips where you
could lay the palm of your hand
without touching raw flesh. And they
gave him ten ticks that morning on
his back in that condition. There
