LIGHT ON THE LYNCHING.
MORE INDICTMENTS RUMORED
IN THE MACON CASE.

Conviction of Those Indicted not Ex-
pected by the Pubtio-rhs Macon BOY
Beats the Champion Female Bicyolist
-Jncksonvillo's Warm Welcome to the
Clyde Zines Pioneer.
MACON, GA, Nov. 25.-There were no
new developments in the Moore lynching
investigation to-day, although 1t is re-
ported on the streets that moro indict-
ments have been found, upon which war;
rants will be issued. The names of the
parties are not given. The investigation
is proceeding slowly and there is no posi-
tive indication as to how 1t will finally
result. Few believe that even those
against whom indictments will be found
will be convicted upon the final trial, as
there can be of necessity no direct evil
dence of sufficient force to warrant such
result. Great interest Is being mani
tested in the investigation, principally
because it revlves thorough sensation
and affords. in the absence OF something
more startling, an interesting topic of
discussion.
THANKSGIVING DAYS OBSERVANCE.
Thanksgiving day was generally OBJ
served here. All the business houses
closed and services were held In most OF
the churches.
This afternoon at Base Ball Park

long distance bicyclist OF the world, in an
interesting race, in which the distance
covered was fifty miles. The race began
at O'Clock and was witnessed by large
crowd, who evlnced much interest, Miss
Won Blumen was the favorite and young
Brantley's victory is considered quite
triumph for him.

ANARCHISTS GAIN TIME
THEIR COUNSEL OBTAINS A
WRIT OF SUPERsEDEAS.

Hanging Before March or April Now
Almost Legal ImpossibIiity-Thei
Points ON Which the Writ Was OBJ
tained Almost Identical With Thoso
Presented TO Judge Gary.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL, Nov. 25.-At IN
O'Clock this morning Judge Scott granted
supersedeas in the anarchist case
Messrs. Black, SWEET and Solomon, counl
sci for the anarchists, started at once to-
Ottawa to have the clerk issue an order
In pursuance to Judge Scotts instruc4
tions. The effect of the order will be to
stay the execution at least until the full
bench OF the Supreme Court has passed.
upon the questions raised for new trial.
IL Is estimated that in the ordinary courso
or procedure the hearing and decision
cannot be reached for six or eight weeks,
and that even though tho lower court Isl
sustained, sentence cannot be carried out
until some time in March or April.
Judge Scotts order granting the super
sedeas is purely formal. Without going
into any particulars or giving any rea-
sons he simply certifies that in his opinion
there is reasonable grounds for granting
the writ"
POINTS OF THE BRIEF.
OF the anarchists, which the attorneys del
sire to argue before the Supreme -Court,I
are the ones raised during the trial and
argued before Judge Gary on the motiom
for new trial; that the Judge allowed
jurors to try the case who admitted, on
examination, that they had formed opin-
ions; that he ruled that juror under ex-I
animation was not disqualified, even
though be had a fixed opinion at the tim0
OF his examination that would required
evidence to overcome, provided he wouldi
swear he could render far and impar[
tial verdict; that where the proposed iu-
rors admitted prejudice or bias againstI
socialists, Anarchists or Communists, thes
Judge refused to allow the counsel fori
the defendants TO ask whether the preiu-
dice was such as TO materially af-
feet the weight they would accord to
the evidence OF the defendants, II 1t shoulH
appear that they or some OF them werei
Socialists, Anarchists or Communists;
tnat they refused to allow challenges for
cause on account Of such prejudioes that
the Daili1 selected men unfavorable to-
the defendants so that their peremptoryi
challenges might be sooner exhausted; :;
tnat In giving instructions the court pro-
ceeded upon the theory that the Defend
ants might be convicted without the State
being Obliged by legal evidence to~iden.

the defendants advised or even had

that the court refused 20 give any
instruction allowing the jury to considerl
whether an unknown bomb throwerl
might not have thrown the bomb underl
some sudden proyOcation by reason or

lioe upon peaceable and lawful Assem-
blage; that there can be no conviction
