HERE A SEN sATION.
Collector Paul Trammell and Other Pro mi
nent Citizens Accused of Whitecap-

ping.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. IA. Hon. Paul
Trammell, collector of customs, S &C
cused of being whitecap. Test m ony
to that effect was given in the United
States court at . O'Clock this afternoon
by Charles Ogles, witness in the white
cap cases. With him are implicated +.
w. Rembert, deputy revenue collector;
Trammell Star, senator from the forty
third district; Representative Lonely, OF
the same district, Mayor Black, OF Dali
ton; W l., Brown, a prom nent Baptist
minister; Samuel Brown, IL wealthy doc
tor; Louis Maddox, a prominent GeOr-
gian; DR.. Craven, of Tiltpn. All these,
Ogles swore, belong to the gang OF
whitecapS that has been terrorizing that
portion of the state surrounding Dalton
and Tilton.
The statement of the witness came as
a thunder clap from a clear sky. The
people in the court room seemed to be
paralyzed Y the sensational testimony.
Ogles testified that he Joined the gang
in order to secure evidence against its
members. Columbus Treadwell asked
him to Join the band for that purpose.
The gang consisted of Is men. When
he heard that the United States intended
to put stop to whitecapping he came
to Atlanta and gave his evidence to the
officers.
When seen about the matter Mr..
Trammell and MI. Starr both laughed at
the statement. "Why, it's well known"
said Mr.. Trammell, THAT both Mr.. Starr
and myself have been very active in try
ing to suppress lawlessnesS in that part
of the state. The charge is ridiculous,
and there is not one word OF truth in it. -
All the gentlemen were exhonorated,
however. Collector Trammell wentupon
the stand and denied the charges, while

Demolished.


FORSYTH, GA, Dec. IA terrific cy-

In the northeast portion of the town
every inhabitant was terorized, and it
seemed for time that the entire place
would be demolished.
The handsome Methodist church, with
its towering steeple, was swept to the
earth and ompletely,ruined. The crash
was awful and everybody was frantic
with fear.
Sweeping with fearful force, the wind
then struck the northwestern portion of

thence to the warehouse of S. D. Smith,
