FELL OVER THE CLIFF.
Constable Martins Wife Seriously
Injured al Snake Hill.

Constable Edward Martin and his wife
will probably regret for some time tc
come a trip which they recently took to
Snake Hill. It seems that Mrs. Martins
servant had been Ill and was being
treated at the hospital the re. Upon re-
covery she wrote Mrs. Martin, and tho
latter drove over with her husband and a
friend to get the girl.
When they arrived at Snake Hill they
were directed either purposely or acci-
IDENTIFY to take a wrong road, aud before
they knew 1t the whole rig went
over an embankmenr, upsetting
the carriage n splitting out
the occupants. Nsither Mr.. Martin nor
his friend was hurt, but Mrs. Martin was
terribly bruised, especially about the
face, and when picked up was uucou-
scious. Besides otner cuts, she received
one over the left eye about two inches
long and very desp, which was consid-
cred very serious.
Mr.. Martin Immediately sought out a
physician at the prison. by whom he
claims he was insultedisnd with whom he
had some hot words. After considerable
wranRling Mrs. Martins wounds were
dressed and she was taken home in an
ambulance. She is so dfsagured at pres
emit that her young baby refuses to 60
near her and she is hardly able TO rove.
DIR. Lfmeburncr, her attending physi-
clan. says she will probably pull through
although at first very little hope was
held u Mr.. Martin will in all proba-
biiity make 1t very hot for the physician
with whom he had trouble as well as for
those through whose carelessness the
accident occurred.

A ~DIABOLiCAL CRIME.

CARRoLLToN, Ca, Aug. 70, 1s93.-A
diabolical crime to light at Brooks Sta
ton, Fayette county, about fifteen miles
this side of Griffin, Wednesday. Walter
Reeves and John Price are accused of
assaulting Miss Dora Bishop. a beautiful
and highly respected young lady. and
daughter of John Bishop, a well-to-do
farmer living two miles north of Brooks
Station. The young lady says she vas
dragged from a buggy by the two young
men and forced to submit to an assault
under threat of instant death.
Warrants were sworn out the next
morning for Reeves and Price, and We'd
nesday Reeves was captured, but Price
escaped. Reeves had a preliminary trial
yesterday at Brooks Station, and although
the young lady, whose reputation for
veracity has never been doubted, swore
positively to the facts as stated. Justice
Carson released him. The people are
highly indignant over the action of the
Justice, who is a cousin Of Price.

fore Judges Hudspeth, kenny n Hofr-
man for em bezzling $23, 900 from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. was on
the stand all yesterday afternoon. He
spent most Of the time going over the
various monthly statements OF the bnsi-
ness of the office aud picking out each
itsm which. it is alleged, represents his
stealings. He smphaticaily declared
that he took no part of the missing
meney. Most OF the time was taKsns np
by Lstts IN reading over the long state

whose handwriting IL was. He swore
that often the sheets. which were sent to
the auditors offcs, In tina course OF
preparation became soiled and they were
copied over. On the originals were totals
In lead pencil which ne would copy In
lux. The lead pencil figures would not
be on the copies. Judge Hudspelh took
one Of The alleged COPIES and asked Let's
how he accounted for toe figures in lead
pencil which it contained. The defend
ant was equal to the emergency aud gave
an explanation which was not so clear to
others as himself.
Lofts also freely explained the manner
in which the business of the Office was
conducted n made it appear that it
was ar easy matter for several of the
clerks to take money from tho com PAM
He also made statements which would
lead to the impression that Scott jack
son had gotten away with much of the
stolen money.
At four O'Clock Judge Hudspeth said
the Court would close for the day and
asked the jurors If they would ike TO sit
today Or go over until Monday. All the
Jurors said they wanted the case to go
