present In any way answered the descrip'
lions Of the escaped oonvicts no arrests
were made.
The strong confederation Of the claim Of
I Win Ellis that he spent last Sunday In At
lanta has puzzled the Marietta authorities,
who, with twenty-three state witnesses,
felt confident of their prisoners guilt OF
J murder. His preliminary bearing this
morning before Justice &. G. VIM oil
Marietta. is awaited with the intensest in
terest by the residents OF Cobb county, who
are thoroughly aroused by the ugly murder.
! The positive statement OF Emmett Bur-
ton, the farmer who declared that he had
seen Ellis near Marietta on Sunday, tended
to strengthen the suspicion that Mrs. Loon
ey's foster son had committed the crime.
On top OF that comes Frank Harralson,
Ellis attorney, who in addition TO fifteen
witnesses wherewith to prove AN abb,
says that he can ensily show that Mr.. BUR-
ton spent the entire day on Sunday at
a camp-meeting. Nothing at all is being
done in the way Of making further inVestl-
cations into the matter. Until the case
against Ellis is disposed of the whole thing
will remain in statu quo. The preliminary
hearing may consume both to-day and to-
morrow. Solicitor Brown will conduct the
prosecution. The place where Mrs. LooneY
met her death now stands deserted. Her
step mother, Mrs. Kirkland, has gone to the
homo Of Mrs. Parker, her netghbor, and
the old negro who lived at the home has
also moved away. The house is closed and
the yard is as quiet as the woods around.
There is no sign Of life where just one
week ago the farm and farm house were
hustlin Rswith activity. The owner OF her
place lies in her grave, victim OF the
fouleSb of murders and the dismal house
stands deserted and Stunned by every one.
Macon Telegraph: One day last week a
woman OF the town whose name has for
long time been CONSEQUENTLY connected
with that Of a certain Macon individual,
left the city TO spend vacation at Indian
Spring. The woman found no difficulty in
putting up at one Of the incest houses at the
spring, her appearance indicating nothing
that would cause her to be turned away.
She was on her arrival assigned to apart
ments with young lady. who was visiting
the sprluR from town near Macon.
Agreeable and affable, the woman
found no difficulty in forming an
acquaintance with the young lady, who
shared her room. So secure did the woman
feel that on Thursday she made bold TO
stroll about the place With her young lady
roommate, and even ventured to accom-
pany her TO the spring. Imagine the horror
II prominent Macon gentleman, who went
up as delegate TO the convention, when he
saw an acquaintance Of his walk up to the
pair and shake hands with the young lady
and was straightway introduced to the
woman. just as soon as it could be done,
the young man was made acquainted with
the character OF his young lady friends
companion, and he was struck down
with modification and q sense of
outraged feeling both for himself and the
young lady. He wanted to take summary
steps, but the good name OF the young lady
who was placed In such an unfortunate po-
sition would not permit of this, and he had
to content himself with acquainting the
young lady's father with the facts. He
could not publicly expose the creature and
the man who was connected with Der visit
to Indian Spring. ALI that was left was TO
force her removal, which was done Instantly,
and she came back to Macon. Only the
fair name OF the victim Of her companion
ship prevented severe measures being used
by those at the spring who learned Of the
outrage Fortunately for the woman. she
got back home safe
