The Convicted Negro to be Tried
Without Moments Preparation.
MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, Aug. 12.-Peter
Wells, the convicted rapist who was SEN
fenced to be hanged Sept s, has been
granted a new trial. The case was argued
by Col J. D. Howard before Judge Jen-
kins at Monticello yesterday, and a new
trial was granted. Col. Howard was ap-
pointed by the court to defend the prisoner,
and he took up the case without moments
preparation. In view of the fact that the de-
Tense had such a short time to make out its

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 12.-There was a
heavy shower this afternoon about )
o'clock, and the capitol dome was struck
twice by lightning. The building is so con

LEGISLATIVE BLIND TIC 1Rs."
Detectives Unearth an Unlicensed Bar
In the state Capitol.

betSSblVoS On06rbQ an unlicensed Bar
in the State Capitol.
ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 1.-THE morality
people of the town have something new to
talk about; this time il is a legislative
blind tiger" Its lair was a dark closet in
the dome Of the capitol, on the second floor,
almost opposite the entrance to the Senate
chamber. Its presence has been suspected
for some time. This morning 1t was re-
ported 20 the police that the information
was reliable. Detectives Ed Cason and
Harve Bedford were detailed to capture the
tiger" and its keepers.
THE TIGER IN HIS DEN.
They succeeded in finding legislatorwho
knew the tiger" and in his company they
repaired to the den. The door was shut.
The legislator knocked two separate taps
and the door was opened. The detectives
were standing to one side, only the legisla-
tor being directly in front Of the door.
Come In, said a voice from inside, land
shut the door"
The detectives entered together There
we're two negroes in the closet, and one Of
them started out in a hurry, but was
| stopped by Detective Cason. The two ne
groes are Peter MoMichael and Mat Will
Jams, porters in the legislature. They were
carried TO the station house and locked up.
The GOVERNOR INFORMED.
The two detectives then went back to the
capitol, stopping by the governors office to
inform him Of what they had done. They
returned to his office in few minutes with
the contents of the den-several bottles of
soda water, beer aud whisky.
The governor was very much interested
In the matter and gratifed at the success of
theraid. Its worth 81, 900 to the state" said
he. He then shook hands heartily with the
two detectives and thanked them for their
work. Later the two negroes were released
on bond. 1t is probable that no criminal
prosecution can be pushed successfully.
