CHAPTER TX.
Justification.

JustiHcatlon.
 Colonel Destinn bent over the map spread out before him in an attitude of concentrated attention. It was an un- usual-looking map, roughly outlined and almost destitute of the ordinary network of mountains and rivers. At the top single town had been marked. and from thence downward there ran dark red line, almost undertaking. which cut the upper part of the white linen in two distinct halves. On either side of this line there were towns marked and the beginnings of water ways, but in no instance did these ex- tend beyond an inch on either hand. 1t was as though the red line had ab- sorbed everything, and that what lay beyond its immediate radius was of no account, a blank white waste of de- populated country. The lower part of the map had been painted yellow, and there the red line faltered and broke off. Colonel Destinn's pencil lowered over the jagged end, and his brows were knitted into an expression of thwarted impa tience. On the other side of the table an elderly man wearing the uniform of French army doctor sat and stroked his neatly trimmed beard with a reflective hand. From time to time he glanced doubtfully at his companion, and at last, receiving no attention gave vent to an apolo- getic cough.
 T am afraid I have come at an in opportune moment" he said. You are busy. The matter is of really no importance"
 Destinn started and looked up.
 Pardon me. I was absorbed in a difficult calculation. You are mistaken

sents in his book, you find the word "Mars-
cas-" you will see at once that 1t is mere
question of accent to make the word appear
as "Americus
It seems that Chill bore the ancient name
of Maruzas, while Brazil was divided into
provinces called Western Amaraca, Primitive
Amaraca, &C.
The map shows that one Of the rivers bore
the name, "Amerique;" there was an island
on the coast Of Brazil, and off the Amazon
River, which bore the name "Amarioca.
1t is utterly impossible to account for all
these various names, bearing family resem-
blance, without attributing them to a native
origin.
No Italian discovered could have plastered
a whole continent with HIS name IN such
manner.
Governor Brown mentions that Vespuccius,
in his last voyage spent five months collecting
Brazil wood, in the region where that name,
Amaraca, was familiar, and built a fort, near
the mouth of the Mucuri River, one of whose
tributaries is the Amaricanis River.
I have no doubt that Ex-Governor Brown,
whose address is Marietta, Ca would be glad
to correspond with anyone who is especially
interested in this fascinating subject.

accompanied by his brother-in-law, John
Grant, to purchase the Atlanta Georgian.
1t was said that Mr. Hearst refused to sell,
but appointed Slaton to be general counsel for
the Georgian, and general manager of it's
political policies.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hearst
came to Atlanta, to see Slaton, who was then
occupying the dual position of Georgias
governor and Leo Franks lawyer.
1t will also be remembered that Mr.. Hearst
brought his great editor, Mr.. Arthur Brisbane,
to Atlanta, to write IN the interest Of Frank,
but Mir. brisbane was attacked by a severe
illness, and was unable to do the work.
Nj Hearst also imported into Georgia his
personal attorney, Clarence Shearn, who had
been elevated to the Supreme Court of New
York by the Hearst influence
This little Jew lawyer, Shearn, pretended
to make a careful re-eXamination of the Off
cial record, in the Frank case, and the result
Of his impartial labors was, to reverse the
Supreme Court of Georgia, and to nullify the
statement of the Court to the effect that the
verdict Ct the jury was sufficiently supported
by the evidence.
After Governor Saton had given his client
a new trial, and had upset the decision of all
the courts, the Hon. john Temple Graves
made speech to the Press Club in Pittsburg,
IN which he stated that the Hearst papers
would support Slaton, either for the Senator
ship for the Vice Presidency.
1t is to be presumed that the Vice Presi-
dency has been selected, inasmuch as there
now seems to be harmonious relations between
Slaton and the Georgia Senators.
The happy union of thought and purpose
which they manifest in regard to the outlawry
e STu4O ~ 4ho
and The determination to prosecute Geor-
gian in four or five outside States, at once,
IS quite suggestive.
1t remains to be seen whether Mr.. Hearst
will find Slaton to be an asset or liability.
1t also remains to be seen whether their
acqulescence in the gross insult flung at the
State of Georgia, by the Attorney General,
will become to them political asset or
liability.
The Attorney General states that twenty
citizens of Georgia came to his office, and de-
clared to him that the Government could not
get a fair trial about the Frank case, and
against Watson, in this State
Who these twenty gentlemen are, has not
been revealed to us evidently they were men
Of the highest standing, and most ponderous
weight
The Attorney General took the bare word
Of these twenty Georgia patriots, and i'm
mediatey black -sheeped the other two hun
dred thousand.
These twenty men stand so high, and weigh
so much, the Attorney General did not even
require them to sign an affidavit he did not
ask fer any corroborating evidence; he did
not call for an opinion from Judges Newman,
Specr. and Lambdin. Apparently he did not
consult the District Attorneys.
Dent YOU wonder who were these twenty
men that outlawed the State Of Georgia, by
few words, spoken in private, not under oath,
