ATLANTA IS SHOCKED
&nd Commit* a Brutal Murder
and Bobbery.
At the end of the Druid Hills car
line, a lonely si>ot in the outlying
section of one of Atlanta's residential
surburbs, three negro highwaymen
Saturday night shot and killed
Motorman S. T. Brown and after
robbing Conductor W. H. Bryson of
$35, fatally shot him in the back
and made their eecape into the nearby
woods.
Half hour later the crime was discovered
and Atlanta's entire police
reserve was rushed to the scene.
There were no passengers on the
car. The car had just reached the
end of the line and the motorman
was reversing .his trolley when the
attack came from the negroes, who
had conoealed themselves behind a
clump of bushes.
Motorman Brown was shot down
as he started to re-enter his car and
with revolvers leveled at the conductor's
head, h was ordered to
throw up his hands.
On complying, one of the men relieved
him of all the cash he had
on his person aad then he was told
to "hit the grit." He was shot in
he back by one of the men after
he had rua about tifty yards and
fell in bis tracks.
Two shots penetrated his liver.
The injured conductor was rushed to
a hospital where it was stated that
there was no possible chance of his
recovery.
The dead motorman and injured

VUUU Utn/I W T;1 H/ II IIU irj .......
Tinsley and Conductor Royster, who
were In charge of the car, t.hut reached
the end of the lino just twenty
minutes later.
Brown was lying face downward
beside hiH car, a'bullet through his
heart, and along the track fifty yards
distant was found Bryson. Before
losing consciousness Bryson told of
the attack.
"Motorman Brown was shot to
death by the negroes," h.^ said, "and
then they turned their attention to
me. After takiag all the money I
| hnd one of the yegroes yell <1 'hit the
grit,' and while running I was shot
In the back by one of the men. I
didn't have an opportunity to get
away." *
The 'county bloodhounds were at
once rushed to the soene of the holdup
and immediately took a trail,
which led In the direction of a construction
camp, where a number of
negroes are employed on grading
work. Tho camp wan placed under i
a heavy guard, and early Sundayi
every negro in the camp was forced |
to submit to a thorough erer.itnatlon j
at the nuTiGfl or une omcers. nevfrui
arrests were made. Sunday whites
were not permitted to go near the
camp because of the excitable condition
of the crowds.
Fifty police officers continued to
scour the woods in the vicinity of the
hold-up and several negroes were
placed under arrest, though without
any convincing evidence?, or guilt.
In a moment of consciousness Sunday,
Conductor W. H. Bryson identified
one of the negroes caught, in
the police dragnet as probably one of
the guilty trio. This negro and four
others w.ho are held on suspicion
are prisoners.
All kinds of rumors have gained
currency and the oflie rs- found it i
necessary to prohibit negroes visiting
the neighlvorliood where the crime
occurred. T.here were even *xpressions
of disapproval from the crowd
at the presence of the fed negro
chauffeurs who piloted automobiles
to the scene.
Brown was 3 6 years of ace an 1
leaves a wife and four ch'ldien.
Bryson Is about the same ape and |
married. Bryson is a native of j
Laurens county. South Carolina, and
has a brother living at Rockmar'. j

FOUND GUILTY
WOLTER MUST GIVE HIS LIFE
FOR KILLING GIRL.
Horrible Murder of Ruth Wheeler,
the Pretty Young Stenographer.
Will Re Avenged by the Law.
Albert Wolter, a degenerate youth
of 19 yearB, who gloated over lewd
pictures and was "crazy" about women,
must die in the electric chair
for the murder of Ruth Wheeie-*, *
pretty sixteen-year-old stenog-npaer.
After only one hour and fifty minutes
of deliberation in the court of
special sessions found him guilty of
murder in the first degree at 10'30
o'clock Friday night, bringing to a
olose a trial marked by its swift
movement and Its testimony of horror.
Tho boy's counsel said with eloquence
that Wolter was too tenderhearted
to harm a cat but twelve
men decided that he had strangled
Ruth Wheeler and thrust her yet
alive in his fireplace, soaked with
oil, her crumpled body writhed and
burned. With the same waxed-faced
indifference that he had shown
throughout the trial Wolter evinced
no emotion when the verdict was announced.
With almost inhuman complanc
he has been asleep in his cell?and
sleeping soundly?while the jury
was deliberating on his fate. This
was made known by a court attendant
who said that he had to rouse
tho prisoner to bring him into court.
He will be sentenced on Wednesday. I
The jurymen themselves showul j
emotion, while tho boy who must I
die showed none. As tho jurors!
filed in the prisoner was led into the 1
room and took his sent facing the
judge. His face was the color of
putty, but his complexion is naturally
unwholesome, and Its nshness
n ivo ttuvrm uHii'u uy i ill* urn I in III
lights of the court room.
When nuked if they had found a
verdict, William V. Kulp, foreman
of the jury, answered In a shaking
voice, "we have." Ho then announc-!
eu no ana nts associates had found j
Wolter guilty of murder in the first I
degree. All eyes Immediately shift- !
od toward the prisoner, but he was
as stolid as a piece of stone. As he [
was being handcuffed to officers pre- (
partory to being taken to the Tombs, ,
he looked around unconcernodly and
then wobbled out with his custodians.
No relatives of the murderer or of
his victim were in court to hear the
verdict. His aged parents wore in
court durlnir t.he afternoon, but as
he heard the decision which means
death, he was alone among strangers. j
Efforts were made to get a state- |
meat from Wolter on his way ?o the
Tombs, but he refused to talk. "I
don't want to talk tonight- I'm tired
and I want to get a little good sleep
first."
Ruth Wheeler was killed on the
24th of March, falling to dispose of
her body in the fireplace, Wolter cut
it apart and left the bust and head
wrapped In burlap on a fire-escape
from wlwre It was pushed into the
yard below. He was arrested on
the 2 6th and was placed on trial on
Monday last, lie denied ever knowing
Ruth Wheeler, but testimony
showed that she had been lured to I
his rooms expecting to obtain work
as a stenographer. There Wolter
had attempted to criminally assault
her and had murdered her In the |
struggle, strangling her with a rope
tied about her neck. *
PIN1) SOME Old) THINGS.
Ancient Flooring, Old Pipes and Fire
Wi-llc It.... i-..
The News and Courier snvs work !
I
In laving the new sewerage system in
that oity is progressing very satisfactorily,
considering the many obstacles
that the workmen have to
contend with in digging up the
streets. It appears that tJie pick
comes in frequent contact with a
varl? d assortment of pipes and drains
that were laid a very long time ago.
The pipes include both gas and
water pipes and the drains Include
brick, box and pipe drains, and hesides
that old fire wells are also encountered.
All this, of course, retards
the work to some extent, but
with a large and competent gang
of workmen, it is being pushed most
satisfactorily.
A most peculiar "find" made by
the workmen In Elizabeth street was
a two-inr.h solid flooring. It is about
a foot beneath the su-face, and extends
for a distance of between three
hundred and four hundred feet. The
flooring was evidently put down to
better the condition of the street in
a low spot. It is estimated that
about a .hundred cords of wood have
been taken out of Calhoun street. *
Heavy Snow Storm.
Chicago has been in t.he grasp of a
heavy snow and violent wind storm
for several hours and there aro no
signs of its abating. The snow followed
one of the heaviest rainfalls
of the year. The wind'Saturday was
so strong during the night that it
lifted the roof of a barn and dropped
it on the cab of a passing
locomotive.

MANY HIT HARD
!
By the Isstuoce of Forged CoUoq Bills of
Lading to Bayers by
A LARGE COTTON FIRM
Which Recently Failed at Decatur,
Ala., With Liabilities of Nearly Six
Million Dollars and Assets of Only
Five Hundred Thousund Dollars
to Offset the Huge Liabilities.
The Atlanta Journal saya Southern
representatives of New York cotton
arms, wno rushed to Decatnr, Ala., I
from Atlanta and other cltieB Wed-1
nesday and Thursday, to ascertain '
the true status of agairs in connection
with the failure of Knight, Yani
cey & Co., declare that the g'gantic
transactions Involving millions,
which preceded and precipitated the
crash, may end in prosecution in the
federal courts.
It is averrod that forged cotton
hills of lading attached to draftB for
heavy sums were sent to New York
firms and to big cotton houses in
Europe. They say these drafts were
honored and paid, and that investigation
has proven many of the bills
of lading worthless.
New York firms, they believe, have
lost about $1,000,000. while the total
losses of European houses may
run between $4,000,000 and $5,000,- .
000.
No southern cotton firms have been
involved in the smash-up, It is said, i
It seems that all banks with which i
Knight, Yancey & Co., did business
are amply protected. I
It is predicted, however, that the 1
affair will revolutionize the cotton i
business in this country by destroy- |
Ing tlu> confidence of buyers in bills <
of lading, which have hitherto been
honored as if thov were the actual i
cotton Itself. i
The firm of Knight, Yancey & Co., i
is comiH>sod of .1. W. Knight, of i
Decatur; W. J. Yancey, of Memphis; ,
E. H. Nesbltt. of Sdartanburg; and t
W. D. Nesbitt, of Birmingham. All t
of the men are prominent in cotton (
circles. W. D. Nesbltt is one of the
best known business men of the ]
south, is a state railroad commis- j
sioner in Alabama, and a close friend (
of Governor Coiner. }
J. W. Knight was in charge of <
the Decatur office. In an interview \
published in the Birmingham papers,
W. I). Nesbitt declares that he has |
not been in active touch with the t i
business for four years and that the <
crash was a -terrible surprise and |
revelation to him. The irregular!- i
ties, says ."Mr. Nesbitt, appear to have i
originated in the Decatur office.
The question cotton men are asking
all over tho world today is whether
or not the affair will end by a
criminal prosecution In the federal
court. While representatives of
firms which have been heavily hit do
not hesitate to condemn the bill of J
lading transactions, no one is yet I
ready to tako the resronsibility of
saving that prosecutions will actually
be instituted, for the affair has not
yet been gone into deeply enough
and it is not known what attitude
Knight will take in defense of the
transactions for which he is held
responsible.
The Knight. Yancey AL- Ct firm,
one of the largest concerns of its
kind in the south, with oflicvs in
Decatur, Ala., Mobile, Huntsville,
Birmingham and other cities, went j
into involuntary bankruptcy on Wednesday.
The business of the company has !
been large, t.he bulk of which is
with European firms. Last year 60,000
hales of cotton were shipped
from the Mobile port to llarve alone.
Judge W. I. Qrubbs. of the United
States district court, at Decatur, ap- !

As the result of drinking whiBkey
)f the "made-while-you-wait" brand,
three women and four men are dead
In or near Westerly, R. I., and so
;reat is the excitement over the
tragedies that the Attorney General
at Providence, R. I., has ordered
an investigation into the deaths and
also the places In which Bocalled
medicinal whiskey is made and sold.
The dead are Lena Blanchard,

....o. n.icn luunuy ana mtb. Albert
Tucker, of Westerly, R. r.; Edward
Dougherty, Charles H. Hood and
Henry Larrow, of Pawtucket, Conn.,
and W. D. Perrln, of Hopklnton, R.
I.
Thus far reeponsibllity for (V
deaths has not been placed, but the
Westerly authorities have Information
that they were due to the blunder
of a drug clerk who used wood
alcohol instead of the grain product
in making the whiskey. An arrest is
looked for soon. So far as can be
learned all the whiskey was purchased
in the same drug store, and
the symptoms shown by the victims
in each case, all of whom died suddenly.
are reported by the attending
physicians as identical.
One physician has reported that
his analysis of the contents of the
stomach of Dougherty showed the
presence of wood alcohol in quantities
large enough to produce death.
Coroner Brown, of Stonington, who
has some of the whiskey remaining
in the bottle from which Barrow and
Hood drank just before their deaths,
says wood alcohol is present in U
In sufficient quantities to produce
death when taken freely.
The first of the deaths from the
whiskey was that, of Mrs. Murray,
who died last Tuesday. An empty
whiskey bottle was found at her side,
?ut the physicians stated that heart
lisease hnd caused her end. While
he authorities were investigating
:he Murray case they loarued of that
jf Mrs. Tucker, Wednesday night.
Then on Thursday came those of
Hood and his father-in-law, Harrow,
it Pawtucket. On the aame day the
leath of I^ona Blanchard occurred
it Westerly, and then that of Perrin
an Friday, aud Dougherty oh Saturday.
Until It was fairly establlshded
hat the mysterious deaths were due
to drue store whiskey, t.here were
wild rumors to the effect that a Bor-)
sia had found her way into the little
communities and was administering
the poison my* wlioV sale. Fain
iin-s KKipiK-u mcir nuiK supply and
were extremely cautious as to where
they obtained raw food-stuffs. Westerly
is a no license town, and t.he
result is that the druggists have been
doing a thriving 'business in the
sale of all kinds of substitutes. In
the last few years several druggists,
two of them men of prominence,
have been convicted and sent to jail
for selling liquor. *

Second Victim of Mysterious Murder
Within Week.
The body of Tom Cason, a hard
working negro, was found in the
woods In Gantt townshin in Green
ville County Friday. A gunshot
wound in th*^ abdomen told how the

stepped on the foot of a
negress.

yegetables experienced In manyyears.
In Georgia alone, according to the
Commissioner of Agriculture fully
50 per cent of the cotton crop is
killed. More thau 90 per cent of the
crop was a1>ove ground and reports
indicate that a scarcity of seed will
prevent replanting of vast acreages.
It was sleeting in Atlanta Mondaynight.

YOUNG GIRL VICTIM
XKW YORK REAL ESTATE MAN
ACCUSED.
His Scheme Was to Entice a Maiden
to His OHlce and There Assault
Her.
Th? police of New York City have
effected the arrest of Joseph T. Shipman,
a real estate operator, on the
charge of attempting to assault Miss
Emdly Richie, who appeared at hlB
office In answer to an advertisement
for a stenographer. Hearing in mindthe
recent Wolter case in which a
young woman was assaulted and
murdered when she appeared at an
ofllce under similar circumstances.
Miss Richie invited Mrs. Emma McCully
to accompany her. The presence
of a third party, who carried
an infant child on her arm, was no
protection but it did lead to a disclosure
of Shipmau's methods and
will put an end to his activities for
some time to come.
When in his coll in the Fulton
street station, Shipwan gave his address
as 144 West Twontv-somnH
street, "but changed It later. At that
addross Mrs. Anna Hillshire said that
nine weeks ago she had rented a
room to a man named Shlpman. He
remained there Ave weeks, spending
his time writing advertisements and
answering those girls who wrote for
Inquiries. She said that more than
25 girls had called to see him and
that she became suspicions and finally
put a stop to his activities and
ho left her house. Another woman
called and claimed to lie his private
secretary. He directed t.hat she write
to New Jersey and secure bail.
A woman who said she was Mrs.
Shipman. believes her husband is innocent
of the charge brought against
him.
Miss Richie is about IS years of
age. and had been working as a
stenographer in Brooklyn. When she
read Shipman's advertisement ofTerthe
hope of bettering herself. Shipman
stated that he was not able to
hire a first class stenographer and
for that reason .he advertised for
young girls whose experience was
not such that they would demand
the highest wages, lie explained to
tho girl that a lodge went with her
position and that lie would show her
to those quarters on Lexington avenue.
Mrs. McCully went along.
When they reached the lodge they
found it contained two rooms. Shipman
directed Mrs. McCully to one
and then locked himself in a room
with the Miss Richie. Then, according
to her story, he seized her.
held his hand over her mouth and
tried to choke her. He threw her on
a bed in the room, but sh kicked
and screamed and struggled so that
lie finally released her. she said.
Then she unlocked the doors and
both she and Mrs. McCully ran away
as soon as they could get out of tho
hotel. The girl related her experience
to her mother, who in turn
lost no time in informing the police.
The arrest was effected by Capt.
flallagher and Detective Quinn. when
Mrs. Ulc.Mle, togetle r with Miss Richi??.
directed tlio officers to Shlpman's
quarters.
