A HORSE as HUSH MONEY.
G. w. Moody Silences an Irate Hus-
band With a $40 Broncho.

Carrollton, Ga. July 2S-Mention was
made in these dispatches some days ago
of an alleged attempt of G. w Moody, a
rural district merchant of an out-of- the
way part of Douglas county, TO assault a
woman named Mcdaniel. The case has
been settled Mrs. Mcdaniel says by Moo
dy giving her husband a $40 horse. Moody
and.his friends say it was a case Of black
mail and he gave the wOman's hus-
band the horse to keep the scandal
from being made public. He says he
made no attempt nor thought of an
assault on the woman, while she claims
that he made an improper proposal to
her, which she rejected, and that Moody
then tried to force her. Moody is one Of
the most prominent men of his district
and a prominent member Of the Masonic
fraternity. His friends claim that this
woman has worked this scheme before,
and was paid considerable hush money
1t is a fact that Moody gave horse to
settle the matter, but he says he only
gave the horse 10 keep the matter quiet,
for he had rather give something than to
have such reports circulated on him, even
if they were false IL is alleged that the
Mcdaniel woman settled so debt
owed by her husband to ii prominent mer-
chant of Temple about two years ago in
the same WAY
