Macon, Ca. May 3O.-Argument was re-
stunned IN the -habeas corpus hearing Of
the deputy msrshals this morning by Col
Preston who spoke about an hour for the
prosecution. He was followed by District
Attorney Gary for the defense. This
closed the argument and Judge Speer
proceeded to deliver his decision. He
consumed about three-quarters Of an
hour in its delivery. He made an elab-
crate and graphic review OF the evil
dcnce. and summed up by announcing
that the deputies were not guilty OF mur-
der or any other onense. He declared
that Deputy Kelly acted in a prudent
and cautious manner and was TO be com
mendcd for the conservatism ne displayed.
He claimed that he did not fire until Il
became absolutely necessary for him 20
do so in the preservation OF his own life.
That Witnesses on both sides corrobor-
ated Deputy Kelly's statement Of the
case and that he had not been contra
dicted on a single material point.

tive evidence that Lucius Williams was
asleep on the porch or was fired al in
this condition by Deputy Kelly. No one
had sworn positively that Williams was
asleep when shot. not even John NJ. Will

porch with Williams would swear that
Williams was asleep when he was first
shot

ed that they be set free and ordered ~

Atlanta, Ca, May 30.-Gov. Atkinson re-

On the way home the governor stopped
at Washington for Mrs. Atkinson, who
returned home with him. She is much i'm
proved in health, which will be welcome
news throughout the state.
In speaking of the sale of the bonds
Gov. Atkinson said: There is a lesson in
this, and that is the moneyed men or the
country are not so anxious to get big in
terest for their money as they are anxious
70 be certain Of getting it back. Georgia
bears the reputation of paying off her OBJ
legations promptly and it is no trouble 10

wonder to the financiers of New York
that Georgia could float her bonds al a
lower rate than the government of the
United States. Georgia pays only three
end one-half per cent, while the govern
trent Of the United States pays three and
three quarters per cent"
