Jail-The Superior Court.


Sylvania. Ga, May 21.-The four
tramps, three colored and one white, who
were tried last week before Justices Shep-
pard and Walker at Oliver, for the muir
der of John A. Jackson, the young mer-
chant of that place, were brought in yes

jail. The four men were discharged by
the court in the murder case, there being
no evidence to warrant their committal.
but the white boy was committed for
carrying concealed weapons, and the
three negroes for perjury. 1t is hoped by
the citizens OF Oliver that more evidence
will be found against them, hence their
detention. The grand jury which is now
in session will thoroughly investigate the
matter

BUTTS ALLEGED BRIDES.
The Senate Committee Begins Its In
VeStiSdtiOn.

The Session Held Behind Closed
Doors-Senator Hunton's Son As
serts That BUTT offered Him Money
to Influence His Fathers vote-Sen-
ator Kyle Asserts That Buttz Told
Him He Gould Have SIS, 900 for His
Vote-Buttz Before the Committee.
Washington. May 2l-The special com
mittee appointed 10 investigate the
charges Of bribery, alleged to have been
attempted by Mai BUTT, and also to
consider the doinCs of the sugar trust in
connection with legislation, held two
sessions to-day behind closed doors-with
newspaper men and the public excluded.
The first began a few minutes after 10
o'clock and lasted until o'clock, when a
recess of an hour was taken.
During the recess Senator Gray, speak
ing for the committee, said that as soon
as this case was concluded the commit
tee would print the testimony and lay it
before the Senate He said that it would
be pretty much on the line of that which
has heretofore appeared in the newspa-
pers, but with more detail.
HUNToN's son APPROACHED.
The fact that a direct offer of money
was made has been proved by one witness,
at least, according to the statement of
the chairman of the committee. Senator
Hunton knew nothing except upon hear
say evidence. but told the committee
what he had learned from his son.
Eppa Hunton. Jr., was next put on the
stand, and told the committee how he
had been approached by Mai. Buttz, and
offered a sum of money if he would induce
his father to vote against the pending
tariff bill
KYLE ON THE STAND.
Senator Kyle was on the stand longer
than any one else, for it was developed
that the offer to bride had been made to
him direct by the man who stands
charged with the commission of the Of
tense. At least this was the interpreta-
ton put upon the testimony by the COM
mittee Senator Kyle testified that Mai.
BUTTE had offered him money for his vote,
saying that he could have $4,000, and
made an offer of $4,000 down.
Immediately after the committee met
Mai Buttz made written request of the
chairman of the committee to be present
with his attorney and cross examine wit
nesses. To this request no attention was
given, and Maj. Buttz subsequently gave
his request to the press.
BUTTE on THE STAND.
At the afternoon session of the commit
tee, Mr.. Buttz was kept on the stand for
upward of three hours. The members of
the committee declined to say anything
pertaining to his evidence for the reason
that he had not yet concluded 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that MIR. Buttz denied
vehemently that he had made any at
tempt to brihe the senators referred to or
any other persons. He was accompanied
by his attorney, MIR. MCGOWAN 1t is also
said that none Of the evidence SO far in
troduced implies any other than Mai
Buttz, and if there was any one behind
him in the alleged transaction the com
mittee has failed to discover who it was.
The committee will meet again tomorrow
al 10 o'clock.

oARoL1NA,s TAX CASES.
Judge Simonton Files a Decision
Against the Danville.

Against L0B OduNllAes
Charleston, S. c. May 21.-Judge Sim
onton fled a decision to-day in the rail
road tax cases in a suit brought by the
attorney general of the state to force the
Richmond and Danville railroad 70 pay
to the various county treasurers the TN
paid balances due on taxes. and the pen
alties and costs thereon. The suit was
brought by the railroads to restrain the
county officials from collecting the taxes
on the ground of excessive assessments
and w2s decided against the railroads.
Most of them paid the taxes after the de-
cision was filed, but some of them refused
to pay the penalties and costs, among
them the Richmond and Danville railroad.
This suit was brought to force
the collection. In his decision Judge
SlmOnton says that after careful COnsid-
GRAFTON the court has reached the Conclu-
sion that it cannot interpose or prevent
the payment of the penalties attached TO
so much of the tax as was delinquent. OF
course, under the words of the law, such
penalties attached to so much only of the
tax as was not paid But with regard to
the cost OF the execution, the result is
otherwise. All this property in the hands
of a court cannot be reached by any other
process whatever. This is the fixed
and lnvariable rule in this country,
under one duplex form of government.
This court cannot interfere with the pro
cess of any of the state courts, however
humble, nor can the government of the
United States interfere with property
seized under the revenue or police powers
of the state.
When, therefore, an attempt was made
to levy on this property Of the receiver,
such attempt was nugatory and void.
No execution could be levied on it and no
costs attached. IL is ordered that the
receivers pay the penalty on all balance
of taxes unpaid. and that they do not pay
any costs of levy on any property in their
hands as receivers.

Suspicion Cast on Kim.
Atlanta, Ga, May 21-Fred Lilly.

murder of his mother on Saturday, has
demanded vindication. Lilly, in company
with his two brothers, called on the de-
tectives, yesterday. but he was told that
there was no evidence against him, and
that his arrest had not been ordered. The
detectives say that they did not give out
the information upon which Lilly's name
became involved in the case, though they
had discussed certain evidence brought
out at the coroners inquest that
incidentally involved a mention of his
name. Lilly returned from Columbus
last Thursday and was not out of the city
Saturday when the sensational report
was published as Detective Wright sup
posed. Lilly and his brothers have gone
10 Griffin to the encampment They
are indignant at the suspicion directed
toward Fred, and when they return, in
