The Slayer of Judson Hyatt will be Vigously Prosecuted
The startling and tragic killing of Judson Hyatt by J.T. McAllister at Ft. 
Gaines last week has aroused the indignation of every law abiding citizen in 
Georgia.  The members of the Travellers Protective Association of which Mr. 
Hyatt was an honored member are determined that the murderer shall not go 
unpunished.  Meetings were held throughout the state Saturday night for the 
purpose of taking action in the matter.  A large amount of money has been 
raised to prosecute the murderer.  Hon. Dupont Guerry of Macon and S.P. 
Gilbert of Columbus have been retained as counsel.  The verdict of the 
coroner's jury was justifiable homicide, but there is every reason to believe 
that the whole proceding was a miserable farce, and no one doubts that it was 
cold blooded murder.  Mr. Hyatt was one of the most popular men in Georgia, 
and was highly esteemed by the business men of Ellaville.  His wife is a 
daughter of Dr. W. ? ????? of Ft. Valley, and is related to a number of people 
in Ellaville.
