Suicide of Cobb Jackson.
The suicide OF Tom Cobb Jackson Is by
many who talk about it taken TO mol
cate that he JacksOn) was In some way
Implicated In the Redwine AFFAIR. Ihere
seems To be no ground for this supposi-
fion beyond the warm friendship existing
between the two men. They belonged 10
the same social set, and were close
friends. Jackson a. Jackson were attoT-
neys of the bank. II is said that Rea-
wine had permitted young jackson 10
oyerdraw his account heavily, ana Wnlie
he was In no way Involved in the deiai-
cation, It is probable that on Redwind's
account was due the fact that his
mind became unbalanced through brood
ing over his friend troubles. lie had
been drinking considerably, IL is sald'
which was the real reason for the deed
Jackson will be buried at Athens TO-
morrow.

How Cashier Redwine Was Detected.
An Atlanta dispatch to the New forK
Times says 80.
President L. j. Hill, of the Gate City
National Bank, which was taken charge
of by the United States bank examiner
to-day thus explains the tangle when
caused the break in the bank:
"On January 2Sth | left for trip to
Mexico on that day | counted Assistant
Cashier Redwlne's cash and found IL cor
rect to a dollar. On my return from
Mexico I found the bank examiner III
charge of affairs. He was an expert at
such matters, and he told me he found
everything all right.
II returned on Saturday. and after talk
ing with the examiner. Edward McCanaiess
told me Of a little Circumstance that mao
excited his suspicion. He said that atter
| left ne saw Rcdwine send out package
cf money, and he at once suspected mat
he had checked on some other banks, as
he had a right TO do. and had thus secured
money CROUCH TO cover up his shortage
until after | left On the Monday after
nv return and after the visit Of the bank
examiner saw Redwine send out 4 pack
ege. | mentioned IL 10 one Of the dltcc-
tors. and told him l suspected somethihS
was wrong with Redwine. He told ne
had better watch close. to be sure ny sus-
picions were well grounded.
Il thought OF having talk with Red
wine on Tuesday mcIring, but had noth-
ing defiEite TO work en-, and FOR rear OF
doing him an injustice, and for fear OF
making scene among the clerks, de-
cided to wait until after the bank clos ID
ON tuesday afternoon. Then l sent for
Redwine. He replied that he would be
back in a minute. A moment after that
he walked to the front of the bank WIN
out his hat and overcoat.
II thought he would be back In min
ute. but told Officer Wellborn to watc1
him ard arrest him of he tried to go CIT.
Wellborn found him in a saloon, but as
he didn't show any inclination 10 20 away
but instead started hack 10 the bank, he
didn't arrest him. but watched to make
sure he didn't leave. After waiting Few
minutes Wellborn came In, thinking that
Redwine had returned. He hadn't though
where hs went is mystery 10 me."
In speaking of Redwine, Nr. Hih said:
when Redwine took his sudden de-
parture l examined the vault and founi
That he had made a clean sweep, taking
nearly every cent of the available cash.
I can't say how long it has been since
Redwine besan to steal. but hardly before
he was appointed assistant cashier about
