Who Had I'iii'sikmI His Wife to the
Home of Chnloner, Whither She

Charlottesville, Va., March 16.?J.
Armstrong Chaloner was this afternoon
fully exonerated of all blame
in connection with the death of John
GlUurd, who was struck in the temple
and killed by a bullet from Chaloner's
pistol, for the possession of
which the two were contesting.
i ne victim was an rmgii^iiiimu,
who came to Virginia about two
years ago from Australia, and was
living within three miles of Chaloner's
country home, "The Merry
Mills," near Cobhani, this county.
Gilliard's wife yesterday sought Chaloner's
protection from her husband,
who had beaten her and threatened
her life. She had arrived at "The
Merry Mills' in advance of the man
and, with her children, was waiting
in the dining room to tell her story,
when her husband entered and assaulted
her with a pair of heavy
tongs.
At this point Clialoner and Erine
E. Money, who was with him, entered
the room and interfered. The
Englishman was in a frenzy and,
during the scuflle, Chaloner drew his
pistol to restrain him. The man
seized the pistol and tried to turn
it on his wife. In the scuffle it

A magistrate was at once summoned
and made acquainted with the
facts. lie held an inquest this afternoon,
at which the widow told the
story of her husband's brutal treatment.
She was postive that her husband
discharged the pistol in an effort
to kill her, and other testilied
to this fact. Her fourteen-year-old
son, who was present at the tragedy,
said that his father had fully determined
to kill his mother, and that he
would have succeeded but for Chaloner.
The body was kept at "The Merry
Mills" all night in the position in
which it was when death ensued, and

decision that the accident occurred
during an effort to save the life ol
Mrs. Gillard.
At the time of the inquest the
room still showed evidences of the
great struggle. The woman's ha

hair pins were scattered about tin

blows, were bloody and contalnee

11 KAY ? TOIiIjS TO ATLANTA IX
POLICE FINES.
Fino Assessed First Two Months of
This Your Are In Excess of Same
Period Two Years Ago.
Atlanta, March 16.?The Journal
says fines assessed in police court
i 1 * %- - ? i * ? - i, .. - r a.!..
<1 it ii it K i ne nisi i \n o ii I (i ii i iio in l 111 j-?
year were larger than for the two
corresponding months of any other
year in the history of police court.
Though the number of cases tried
during the past two months were not
as large as for other months larger
tines were imposed.
During January the fines assessed
by the city recorder amounted to
$ 1 6,047.7.r> and of this amount $6,964.50
was paid in, the other fines
being worked out at the city workhouse.
In February $ 1 3,354.25 in
fines was assessed, while $6,82 6 was
paid. This brought the total amount
assessed up to $2 8,354.25 which is
the largest in the history of the
police court for January and February.
The total amount paid i^i
Was $13,790.50, which is considered
unusually large.
In January of 1907, the fines im
posed uy in** cuy recuruer were 9 t i
880.r>0 and in the following month
amounted to $0,070.75. At tho time
this was considered unusually large
as more cases were being tried in
police court each day than at any
other time. It was before the prohibition
law went into effect and for
this reason more cases were tried
each day than are placed on the
docket now.
According to the figures at police
headquarters, $0,550.75 more was
assessed for the first two months of
this year than in 1 007, at which time
whiskey was here. The cases tried
during January and February of
this year numbered 3,047, while for
the first two months of 1007 there
were 3.4 5S tried.
The first two months of 100S, the
first of prohibition in Atlanta, were
very small as compared to the fines
assessed the first two of this year.
For tho two months the fines assessed
amounted to $13,421.75, which
is but half as large as for the two
months of this year than were assessed
for the first two months of
1908.
Though many fines have been paid
during this year the city workhouse
lias l>ooi) well filled at ail times, miring
last week there wore more white
1 prisoners (loins work for the city
than ever before. On one day last
* week there were sixty male white
1 prisoners at work in the city workf
house. The large number of negroes
brought this number up to
J almost 4 00.

BOLT THE PARTY
Gulp Down Cannon And Vote For
Despot's Rule
THEY ARE TRAITORS
Ami Should bo Treated as Sueli?The
Insurgents Stand True to Their
Promises and Vote With Faithful
Democrats to Curb the Arbitrary
Power of Speaker Cannon.
Washington, March lf>.?Speaker
Cannon is still on top in the House,
t> 111 if it had not been for tiie votes
of twenty-three traitors in Hie Democratic
ranks he would have been
routed horse, foot and dragoon, and
ills despotic power in the House
would have been a thing of the past.
It is supposed that these recreant
Democrats voted as they did because
Speaker Cannon had promised them
extra good committee appointments.
This will come out when the commits
:a are appointed if it is true.
At one time the Democrats and
insurgents defeated Speaker Cannon's
autocratic rules, but when Champ
Clark proposed to adopt the resolution
agreed on in the Democratic
caucus for a general revision of the
1 OO T (.w,l ..,1 i
rums, ?0 i/uiiiwnum, nu.iumiit, nvi:
Georgia members, bolted and voted
with the machine Republicans for
a mild revision proposed by Fitzgerald
of New York, who led tlie bolt,
and the bolters and the Cannon Republicans
voted to give Cannon the
power of appointing committers, including
the rules committee, with
practically the same powers as before.
The five Georgia traitors were
Livingston, Griggs, Howard, Edwards
and Lee. The insurgents stood manfully
to their guns and the fight
against Cannon would have been won
except for the bolt of the Democrats,
all of whom should be excluded
from future Democratic caucuses, as
they have proven untrue to their party
at a vital time.
The bolt of Fitzgerald was genearly
expected. He has been slated
by Cannon as a member of the important.
committee on rules. If the
Democrats had won their fight today
the appointment of committees
would have been taken out of the
speaker's hands and Fitzgerald
would have missed the appointment.
It is expected that all the bolters
will be given good committee assignments.
Only nine of them are
from the South, the five Georgians,
Broussard and Kstopinal from Louisiana,
who, l?y the way, aro nearly
always counted on to vote with the
Republicans, Sparkman of Florida
; and Moon of Tennessee.
Six of them wore Now Yorkers,
the Tammany crowd, the other eight
. are from different Northern and
Western States..
The regular Democrats are very
much wrought up over the action
of the bolters, who may lie ruled out
of the party cauqftis, because the
1 Denver platform is so explicit upon
the question of revising the rules
* of the house so as to take the autocratic
power away from the speaker
The rules adopted, it is true, take
3 away a small modicum of this pow
* er, but leave him with the most im
s portant and most dangerous power
The Cannonites are jubilant to
[> night, for although they did not gel
* all they wanted, they got the com
R promise which it is believed had tin
sanction beforehand of Mr. Cannon
and as soon as it was proposed b]
p Mr. Fitzgerald word was passe<

around among the Cannon Republicans
to vote for it, as It was all
right.
Another reason why it is generally
believed that the Fitzgerald substitute
was prearranged with Mr. Cannon
Is that the speaker was quick
to recognize Fitzgerald after the previous
question on the Democratic resolution
was voted down. Several
wanted to lie recognized but the
speaker somehow saw only Mr. Fitzgerald.
