Irregular and erroneous and that tho

THE REDWINE CASE.
acknowledgement Theory as
to Where the Money went.
[BY Telegraph 70 the Dlspa.eh.l


ATLANTA. Ga, April 1.-THE inyesti-
CATION into the kedwine case is again
under way before tho United States
grand jury. There Is nothing official
from the jury-room rs yet, but there
are many rumors. The generally-ac-
cepted theory is that the bulk Of the
money taken from the Gate City Bank
went into a big railroad deal in which
Redwine and some of his friends were
interested. That was the purchase OF
the Atlanta and Florida railroad. This
purchase was made by party of Young
men, one OF whom was Redwine.
Whether Redwine advanced the money
on his own account or whether he loaned
it to those in the deal with him is not
yet known. but it is certain that the
grand jury IS giving special attention to
this particular deal in the investigation
now going on.
