Judge r P. Trippe Raises a Legal
Point on Woolfolk's Execution.
From the Aibuny (Ga.) Neaos and Advertiser.
Was the execution of Tom Voolfolk the
legal execution Of the court that tried him?
Georgla's leading lawyers.
A reporter of tine Ne,os and Advertiser
met Judge R. P. Trippe yesterday after
noon, and the venerable jurist began talk
ing of the execution of tine notorious Tom
Voolfolk. He sprung a technical legal
point on the execution of Voolfolk as fol-
lows:
''Does the law provide for the execution
of a criminal in different county from the
one in which tine crime was committedg"
do you think the execution of Voolfolk
a legal oneW
81 was not trying to give an opinion on
the question, but had | been an attorney in
the case this is a point that l would have
raised. You see the law provides that if a
crime of a capital nature is committed in a
county where a jury cannot be obtained to
try the cause then it can be tried In some
county in the circuit where jury Gao
be obtained In other words, the la " pro-
vides for change of venue in such cases.
But there is no provision for a change of
execution. Up to the close of the war the
ia W Q5L-lduuOu LudI LILO CtAnlu6i S4OulO DC
tried in the county where the crime was
committed; in fact. there was q constitu-
tional provision to that effect, but now the
law is changed, and a change of venue can
be taken where jury cannot be obtained.
But the law allows no provision for a
change of execution"
''Do you think that would have been a
point to stay the executionN
at could have been tried. You see-I
don't say that would have taken advant-
age of this point tosprolong the life Of the
prisoner-but in order to test the legal
point | would have filed writ of prohibit
tion before the court to stay the execution,
and then have had the technical point de-
cided. This is the first case Of the kind that
ever occurred in Georgia, and, being test
case, very pretty one to decide."
1t will be remembered that the crime was
committed In Blob county. the trial on
which Voolfolk was convicted was held in
Houston county, the sentence was passed in
Bibb county by Judge Gober, and the exc
cution was leld in Houston county,

LOVED THE COACHMAN.
An Heiress Refuses Many uitors and
Accepts a Servant.
From the Neo York Herald.

From the New York Herald
ELMIRA, n. Y. Oct. 2a.-Port Dickinson
is charming little suburb Of Binghamton,
and is noted for its many charming young
ladies. Prominent among them for several
years were the three daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. Norman Phelps.
One of them, Miss Lizzie Phelps, has
fallen a victim TO the wiles OF tickle Cupid.
Unknown to the family there sprang I'D
an attachment between the young lady and
her fathers coachnan, William Slatterly,
that was soon famed into a flame of love,
and they were plighted lovers ere the
parents Of the young lady were aware of
the existing state of affairs.
All efforts to thwart the wishes of her
heart were of no avail, and she made no
effort to conceal her love and infatuation
for the happy youth.
Finding that all efforts to change the
mind Of the determined and unyielding vic
tim of Cupid's wiles were positively useless.
the mother was won over, and is now in
perfect harmony with her daughter.
Not so with the father and sisters. They
are shocked beyond expression.
The father and Miss Emma have gone to
New York to avoid being present at the
ceremony, which is to occur in few days.
The youngest sister has also left home and
is in Binghamton, stopping wit relatives.
The mother, however, remains at home
with the daughter, and very sensibly looks
upon it as an affair that belongs exclusively
to the young lady, and as she is an heiress
in her own right she is at liberty to act at
her own will and pleasure, especially in a
matter that interests the future happiness
Of herself.
Miss Phelps is social belle and one of
the wealthiest young ladies in the state.
She is niece of the late Judge Phelps, and
has cool S100,0 in cash that waS left tC
her by her deceased relative. She is q
lovely woman in all that the word implies.

SHANE OF THE SOLDIERS.
ANOTHER SENSATION IN THE
SCANDAL AT ATLANTA

The Orderly Sergeant of the Gate
City Guard Denies the Legality of
Calhoun's Election as Lieutenant
Colonel of the Fourth Battalion
Later He Modifies His Position.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 30.-A big furry
was caused here to-day, first by mistake
of the orderly sergeant of the Gate City
Guard, but more especially by his explana-
ton. This morning there appeared call
for meeting of the company tonight, to
enjoy a banquet In celebration OF their late
victory. To this the name "a c. Sneed"
was signed in immense letters as captain
commanding. The orderly sergeant was
seen by a reporter, and explained that
W. L. Calhoun had never been legally
elected lieutenant colonel of the Fourth
battalion, and the officers and men were
not bound to obey his order of suspension.
AN INVESTIGATION.
The reporter then examined the records,
interviewed one of the managers of the
election which made Col. Calhoun colonel,
and otherwise proceeded to stir up matters
generally. The result was that at least one
inaccuracy was discovered in the records,
and the paper announced that 1t was an
open question whether or not Col. Calhoun
was colonel. Meantime the company seems
greatly mortified at the turn taken by the
affair, and no member more heartily than
the orderly. The fact is that he handed in
the advertisement and asked that it be in
serted in big letters. signing thereto the
name Of the captain from force OF habit.
and not meaning that the signature itself
should be so distinguished Just why he
attacked the legality Of Col. Calhoun's
commission this morning does not appear,
but his company has no intention OF appeal
ing from the colonel's authority.
