lie wants TO settle for His Crook ed
ness But Can't Do 1t.
Officer 81 Basch arrived from Atlanta
with his prisoner, James NJ. Martin, yes
terday, aud the latter was locked up in the
Jail
Martins Atlanta attorney tried very
hard to have the matter settled from that
end of the line, but failed The amount in
volved is only $780, and Martin was willing
to pay $l25, Before leaving Atlanta he
very shrewdly turned over 1925 to his at
torney there, who gave MIN letter to q
Savannah attorney, with whom Martin had
a consultation yesterday
A MORNING NEWS reporter called at the
Jail IN the afternoon, but Martin declined
to make any statement.
Mr.. J. Randolph Anderson, the prosecut-
ing witness, is in Birmingham. He was
willing to settle, but the Solicitor General
declined to permit it, and hence the prisoner
was brought here
A more correct statement of Martins
dealings with Mr.. Anderson is to this effect
After Martin had obtained the first $50
from Mr.. Anderson for the local agency
that Martin had appointed him to, he Wis
tied Mr.. Anderson few days later and rep
resenting that owing to the delays of the
mails by washouts and freshets ex-
pected remittances had not come
to hand induced the young lawyer to in
dorse draft for $50, which was cashed by
Mr.. Powers, of the Pulaski House, where
Martin was stopping. The draft was not
honored.
The Solicitor General is quoted as saying
that he telegraphed to New York and to
his inquiry he learned that no such firm
was known there as Martin claimed to have
been acting for. Mr.. Anderson is expected
to reach home to-day, and Martins fate
will largely depend on the victims attitude
in prosecution. Officer Basch says that

could get away from Atlanta Re could clear

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT.

ages for Lost Arm.

Alfred Doyle Awarded $500 Dam
ages for Lost Arm.
At the opening of the United States
Court yesterday morning in the case of
Alfred Doyle VS.. the Southern Cotton Oil
Company, the jury brought in a verdict for
the plaintiff for 81 500 and costs.
The plaintiff was Il young negro man,
who had only been employed by the com
pany two days at the time the accident oc-
CURED. 1t appeared from the testimony
that he was employed at one end of a ma
chine in folding cloths over the pressed cot
ton meal cakes. Another man was employed
at the other end of the machine to pull a
lever at the proper time, which allowed a
piston, driven " steam, to fly across the
pan and press the meal in shape. Whenever
the piston was drawn out of the way the
first man fixed the cloth, and as soon as he
Withdrew his hands the other
man was to touch the lever. 1t
appeared, however, that on this particular
occasion the company had put a green hand
to operate the lever, one who hal never had
any experience with that kind of machine
before that day, and who told the manager
that he did not know how to operate il, but
would do the best he could Through the
carelessness Of t is man, as found by the
verdict of the jury, the lever was pulled at
the wrong time, allowing the heavy piston,
driven by steam with great velocity, to
catch the plaintiffs arm and crush it, so
that it had to be amputated. For this the
suit was brought and damages awarded.
