He freely admitted tc Detective Smith that he had taker the $10,000, but a flying trip to Europe and a few girls In Nova Scotia , quickly used up the money. Although Motley first denied his identity, tie soon broke down and admitted that he was the man wanted. "I was assistant cashier in the Lake City National Bank," he said "and was mixed up in a big real esI tate deal. We had a surplus of $20,000, and one night 1 took just hall of this, intending to return it. Ther I saw this was impossible and slipped out. I went to Nova Scotia, where 1 'i spent much money and then to Eu* rope. I was losing lots of coin ali the time, and I wanted to come bach V . to this country. I was getting homeV sick and 1 didn't care much whal happened to me. I was walking around Southampton one day by the docks one day when one of the big liners came in.

Ga., Nov. 24.?Nineteen ^ of the board of stewards of St. John's Methodist church, to which Rev. R. J. Bigham, of Newnan, has ' been assigned by the North Georgia ? conference, met last night and unan' imouslv protested against the ap? pointment. The reasons for this acr tion are not given out, but an in[ fluential member of the board said ^ this morning that they were well > known to all the conference, before which charges had been preterrea several years ago against Mr. Bigham. The resolutions recited that the appointment was highly displeasing to the stewards, and they believed also to the congregation, and the bishop was asked to annul the assignment. In the event that the bishop insists upon Mr. Bibham's coming here, the stewards declared they would refuse to serve as such during the coming year. Nearly all the board were present, and of those absent two were out of the city. The others concurred in the action taken. The resolutions were wired to I Bishop Hendrix, but he had already } left Atlanta. They overtook him at Mftmrhis this mnrninp' hut hft has , not yet replied. If he insists on Mr. [ Bigham coming to Augusta there is ' no doubt that a strained situation : will exist at St John's. Mr. Bigham was once at St. James church here and is well known to Augustans. Last year he was stationed at New1 nan. Rev. Bigham has recently been reinstated in the conference, following his suspension in 1906, by the Milledgeville conference, before which he was accused of drunkenness, and was formally tried after his credentials, which he wished to surrender, had been refused. At the time of his defection Mr. Bigham was pastor of the Elberton , church. His answer to the charge, L. made in open conference in November, 1906, was a full confession of " his error and a touching appeal that : almost turned the conference, to len| ience. Since his reinstatement Mr. Big1 ham has been pastor of the First church of Newnan, and was on Mon: day appointed from that charge to 1 the Augusta church. * A Native African, j An interesting character came into t the Recorder office Tuesday, a negro man by name Lee Ward, and now and ) many years past a field hand on Mr. I Press Seigler's farm about 11 miles from Aiken. His interest lay in the L fact that lie was a native African, ^ and one of the few survivors, of the . cargo of Africans brought over in the yatch Wanderer in 1859. This t vessel wae owned by Mr. Lamar, of Beech Island, and Mr. Wm. Corrie, of Charleston, and was one of only two or three owned by Southern men, that imported slaves from Africa, during the whole history of the inr famous traffic. Lee Ward is now a man of about 70 years of age, and says that he was captured by a raiding party of " native slave dealers, who raided his , village, and carried off all the young [ men, and young women to the mouth [ of the Congo river, where they were [ sold on board of the Wanderer. About 4 75 natives were loaded on , this small schooner of whom about , 150 died on the voyage, and were thrown overboard to the sharks. The vessel" reached the Savannah river with about 325 negroes left. These were landed and hidden in the swamp " just above Eilenton, where they _ were kept for a few days until clothes [ could be brought from Augusta for them; for they were all naked. They were then hurried through the coun, try to Edgefield and sojd. Lee Ward was bought by Mr. John Tillman, ' who owned him until 1865. The Wanderer was seized and i confiscated by the United States Gov: ernment, and indictments were is, sued against Messrs. Lamar and Cort rie, but legal obstacles and delays were interposed until the war came j on, and nothing was done. Ward says he has not forgotten his ' native "language; and he is now tryI ing to raise money to help pay the r expenses of his trip back to Africa. ' He wants to see his native country \ once more, but not to stay there, for ' he proposes to return to Mr. SeigJ ler's farm in Aiken county.?Aiken j Recorder. } Death of Six Widows.
