B. Walker, perhaps the most remarkable criminal case In many particulars ever tried in Georgia, came Wednesday at 11 o'clock when Walker waa being resentenced to be hanged for the murder of Charles Hollenshead on the night of October 28. Judge B. F. Walker arrived Wed nesday morning at .10:30 o'clock and at once called a special session of the Wilkes superior court for the pur pose of passing a second death sen tence on the negro Walker, who was brought from Augusta by automo bile at daylleht. After the sentence of the court had been pronounced and the time fixed for Walker’s execution at 2 o’clock Wednesday, John C. Hollen shead, of Lincoln county, a brother of the murdered man, attempted to kill the negro prisoner before he could be taken back to his cell. Only one shot was fired, and that took effect In the right cheek of the condemned negro. The court house was well filled when the shot waa fired and consternation reigned for a time. A hasty exit of a score of citizens, together with a yell of "where Is Walker," gave the Impression that the negro had made another sensa tional dash for liberty. The negro was only slightly wounded and was rushed from the side door to the jail adjoining the court house by Sheriff Bobo, where his flesh wound was dressed by the county physician. Walker was not sufficiently wound ed to Interfere with his legal execu tion, which occurred Wednesday af ternoon at 2 o’clock. His neck was broken and he was pronounced dead li. eight minutes. Hollenshead suffered a physical and nervous collapse after the shoot ing in the court house and was taken from the building by several friends. He had since the death of his broth er advised that Walker be given a legal execution. During the last search of four days and nights, Hollenshea', who is a prominent planter of Lincoln coun ty, had Joined the county offiolala In the hunt for Walker and was not in control of his faculties. Walker killed C. 3. Holelnshead, a prominent man of affairs of Wilkes county, with a load of buckshot on the night of October 28 at Hollens- heafl's store near Washington. He was captured the same night about ten miles f'om Washington and was delivered to Deputy Sheriff John W. Calloway, from whom he was taken by a mob at midnight, bent on lynching. He escaped from the mob as they attempted to take him from a buggy to string Mm up, and was recaptured November 2 in Lin coln county and was taken to Atlanta for safe keeping. On November 8 he was tried at the regular term of the Wilkes superior court and sentenced to be hanged on November 29. Following the first sentence Walk- ei was taken to Augusta for safe keeping and was being taken to Washington on the night of Nn^em- ber 28 for execution the next day. when he escaped from Deputy Sheriff Florence at Barnett. On December 3 Walker was recap tured near Gibson, Ga , by ex-Sena- tor H. A.
