"The story of his tragic death is told in the accounts of the after noon papers of Atlanta of yester day. Mr. BlTchmore, his frlen here state, frequently walked in his sleep. It is known that a short time ago he was seized with a fainting spell while in the elevator of the Southern Mutual Building and it was with difficulty that he was resuscitated. It is believed that when he went to tlio window for a breath of fresh air one of these attacks seized him and he fell out of the casement. "Than Charlie Birchmore there was never a more loyal friend, a cleverer conversationalist, a more companionable associate. He was for sixteen years in the office of Judge McWhorter as his confident ial secretary and holding that posi tion was a tribute to his discretion, his efficiency, ; his ability.
