CARTER
Death of An Old Man Who Stuck To His Bush - Yesterday an old man,
Chance Carter, died. This old darky was known to several generations.
He claimed to be 107 years old, and there was nobody
left to tell whether he was mistaken or not.
Judge Calhoun knew him half a century ago, and he
says that Uncle Chance was an old man when he was a little boy. The old
man was the slave of Mr. William and Mrs. Rhoda Carter, and before the
old man died, Chance was the general director of matters about the farm.
Mrs. Carter died just before the breaking out of the
war, and she left Chance as sole proprietor of thirteen acres of land,
with the understanding that he should take care of their graves as long
as he lived. After the war some of Mrs. Rhoda
Carter's heirs brought a claim against the old man and tried to
dispossess him. Judge Calhoun, knowing the circumstances, agreed to
defend him, although it was apparent that he, being a slave, could not
hold lands under the new order of things.
When the trial came off the scene in court was one
unprecedented in Fulton county chronicles. Judge Calhoun, then a
practicing attorney defended the case, and judge, jury, court and
audience were melted to tears by the eloquent appeal of the lawyer in
behalf of his boyhood friend. The result was that the old man retained
his land and remained on his homestead until his death, retaining all
his faculties, and, sad to say, fond of his toddy until the very last
day of his life. [The

CHISHOLM
Death of W. P. Chisholm
Atlanta, January 22 Willis P. Chisholm, a prominent citizen of Atlanta,
died this morning about 5 o'clock, at the residence of his mother on
Pryor street. He had been in ill health for several years, but it
is only recently that he has been confined to his bed. The deceased was
about fifty years of age at the time of his death, and came to Atlanta
from Columbus before the war, and has since resided here. Several
months ago his wife, who was Miss Pink Spurlock, daughter of Col. James
Spurlock, of Rome, died at her home in this city, leaving her husband
and one child, a little girl of fourteen years of age. During his
life the deceased accumulated quite a fortune by real estate
speculations, and a short time before the death of his wife, made over
to her about $75,000 worth of real estate in Atlanta. When Mrs.
Chisholm died it was found by her will that she had left her entire
property to her mother and three sisters, ignoring the claims of her
husband and daughter. The fact, as soon as it became known,
created quite a sensation, which was increased in magnitude when Mr.
Chisholm employed Colonel N. J. Hammond as his attorney to bring suit
to break the will. This suit is now pending. The deceased
was known as an economical bier and a good business man.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY - Clarissa Harris, an old negro woman, died very
suddenly yesterday afternoon at her son's home on Johns street. The old
woman was about sixty years of age, and lived nearly all her life in
Fulton county. She was a slave, and during her entire life up to the
date of her freedom, belonged to but one person. Since the war she has
taken great pride in the fact that she was never sold. The old woman's
death was due to congestion of the lungs. Several days ago she was
seized with a severe cold which was the remote cause of her death.

A Jury Pronounces Him Sane He Will
Hang July 30
Atlanta, Ga, June 25,—The jury that has been inquiring into the sanity
of Charles M. Osborne, the condemned murderer who was to be hanged
tomorrow, for one of the most brutal and sensational murder that ever
took place in Georgia, returned a verdict early this morning that
Osborne was sane. The trial commenced yesterday morning and lasted
until 6 o'clock this morning. Few cases in the history of Atlanta have
attracted so much attention as this. The court room was thronged with
people, who sat up all night to hear the verdict. The jurymen, after
rendering the verdict, called on the Governor, and asked him to respite
Osborne for thirty days, which he consented to do.
Osborne is a man of influence in the community, and has had many
prominent people working in his behalf. The murder for which he was
sentenced to death, was one of the most brutal on record—shooting a
defenseless man three times in the back. The date of Osborne's
execution is fixed for July 30.

Tender Age Saves Boy From A Trial
Because of his tender age, seven-year-old Harold Whiteside will not be
called to account before the courts for slaying ten-year-old William
Alexander Hewatt, who was shot with a shotgun and instantly killed late
Saturday afternoon by the little Whiteside boy in the back yard of the
Whiteside home in Hall-st., near Highland-ave.
The police have made a thorough investigation of the tragedy and
announce that no action will be taken against the childish slayer. Not
only is the boy under the legal age of accountability, but the opinion
prevails among the interested parties that little Harold really didn’t
intend to shoot his playmate.
The funeral of the Hewatt boy took place Sunday afternoon, the services
being conducted at 3 o’clock in the Rehoba church. Interment was in the
church yard.
The little Whiteside child is almost heartbroken over the tragedy, and,
sobbing piteously, moans that he didn’t mean to kill his playmate.
The killing followed a childish quarrel between the two little fellows,
Harold Whiteside says the Hewatt boy came into his yard after the
quarrel, while he was playing with two boys, Horace and Rufus
Childress, and picked up some rock as tho to strike him. He says he
obtained the gun, but didn’t intend to shoot. Just as the Hewatt boy
suddenly faced about with the rocks I his hands, however, he says the
gun fired. He probably had his finger on the trigger, he states, and
accidentally pressed it.
The entire load of shot struck the Hewatt boy and tore off almost the
whole side of his head.
Mrs. Hewatt had just gone out on her back porch to call her boy home at
the time and was a horrified witness to the killing. She was almost
prostrated by the sight. The fathers of both boys are dairymen and are
highly respected. The Atlanta Georgian and News – Atlanta,

Dies of His Injuries
Ax Stuck In Back Friday, Death Followed
As a result of injuries received on last Friday, while working on the
new theater at the corner of Luckie and Forsyth-sts., Robert T. Ferrel,
a white carpenter residing at 67 Jones-ave., died at Grady hospital
shortly after 3:30 o’clock Wednesday morning.
The body was removed to Harry G. Poole’s undertaking establishment, and
the funeral arrangements will be announced later.
The accident which resulted in Ferrel’s death occurred in a most
peculiar manner. He was on the ground cutting a piece of timber, and as
he raised the ax above his head to strike, a large beam fell from an
upper story of the building and struck the ax, driving it between his
shoulder blades and inflicting a deep wound.
Ferrel was rushed to the hospital, where he lingered in a critical
condition until his death.
He leaves a wife.
There is some doubt as to whether Ferrel’s death was caused by the
wound of by pneumonia, and an autopsy will be held Wednesday afternoon
at the undertaking establishment of Harry Poole in order to ascertain
the real cause. Drs. Smith and McDonald, of the Grady hospital, and Dr.
J. R. Garner, representing the H. L. Stevens company, contractors, will
be present at the autopsy. The Atlanta Georgian and News –

A MYSTERIOUS KILLING
Atlanta, Ga., - May 5 – A stranger shot his friend at the European
hotel in this city today. The two men came here some days ago and
registered as K. W. Howard, St. Louis, and M. G. Goodman,
Memphis. They were put in the same room at the hotel and were
apparently friends.
Nobody could learn their business, but it was vaguely hinted that they
were showmen. After a day or two Goodman left the city.
Today he returned and met Howard, with whom he went to the hotel.
They were chatting in a friendly way as Goodman’s registered, then they
went up to Goodman’s room.
Half a minute after the door closed behind them two shots were heard,
and Howard with his hand to his breast ran out of the door, Goodman
after him. The latter tried to shoot again in the hall but there
were half a dozen people about. Then turning he put his pistol in
his pocket and quietly walked out of the hotel and made good his escape.
Howard will die. He refuses absolutely to say anything about the
shooting or about his assailant. He acknowledges however, that
his name was not Howard, but said it was Edward S. Skinner. He
said he had a brother in law named S. O. Doan in Sherman, Tex. but
beyond that absolutely nothing about Goodman or the shooting could be
gotten from him.
