Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7. Guarded by
three companies of state militia,
called out by Gov. Candler for his protection,
Raymond Ross, a negro
charged with assaulting Mrs. Miller,
was carried to Canton, Ga., from this
place to stand his trial. A special session
of the Cherokee court was called
by Judge Gober, who asked for troops
from Gov. Candler. The time the trial
consumed was only 40 minutes. The
negro was convicted and sentenced to
be hanged Aug. 27. Ross was brought
back to this city by the troops.
