he is Accused of Conspiring to De-
fraud the Government of Pension
Money.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 23.-After being I'M
der indictment for FIVE years, Justice Of
the Peace A. A. Manning was put on trial
in the United States circuit court to-day,
charged with conspiracy with Judge H.
H Walker and Mrs. Frances Estes to de
fraud the government.
The transaction dates back nearly a dec
ade In 1888 Mrs. Elizabeth Mullins,
wife of veteran of the war of 1872 was
taken i'll. During her sickness applica-
ton was made for a pension, and it was
granted. Before it came, however, the
beneficiary died. Under the pension
laws the person who nursed Mrs.
Mullins in her last illness was
entitled, in this instance, to 81, 016.67 for
attention and board. Judge Manning, it
is alleged, induced Mrs Elizabeth Estes,
Mrs. Mullins daughter, to make affidavit
to the effect that she had attended her
mother, and was just claimant for the
sum IN question. The money reached
Atlanta for Mrs Estes, and she asserts
that it was taken charge of by Justice
Manning, who is charged with having
given her only SIC, saying that the bal
ance was needed to provide for attorneys
fees and other incidentals. Mrs. Estes is
an illiterate woman. Justice Manning's
alleged OlfensC against the government is
that he aided and Allotted Mrs. Estes in
making a false affidavit in order 20 secure
money from the government for attend
ance to the beneficiary, which she never
rendered. Justice Munning is a lawyer
enjoying cons id6rable practice.

b01 Lab 10 4hhAOL4hbAAo
Roanoke, Va, Oct. 23-The grand jury
summoned to investigate the riot and acts
of lawlessness on Sept. 20 and 81, made
their report late this evening. Nineteen
indictments are made.

James G. Richardson is indicted for
felony for breaking into a hardware
store to get fire arms.
THE MAYORS ACTION.
The report commends the action of the
mayor i'll trying to maintain
the laws, but questions the
advisability of the officials in directing
the military to withdraw after the
crowd had been dispersed by the firing,
and censures the police or the officials for
ordering the negro Thomas Smith to be
removed from the Jail, and after removal,
in not taking him to place of safety
The jurors state that from the evil
oelce they are led to believe that some
OF the victims of the shooting
were active participants in the riot
Chief of Police Terry and Sergeant
Griffin, it is believed, were indicted on
evidence which went to show that they
were responsible for the information of
the negroes whereabouts being di-
vulged to the parties who lynched
him There is no excitement
around town tonight, and it is not an
ticipated that any will arise over the out
come of the jurys findings. Up to
late hour tonight no arrests had been
made.
