on petition from w G. Glenn filed in
the court Of Sept. 9. II should have been
served some time ago, but il was lald
away with some criminal papers in the
clerks office and was not located until
Tuesday morning. This effort to disbar
MERCER who is a lawyer practicing at the
bar in Atlanta, is but a continuation OF the
Myers case, growing out OF the afhdayits
in that ease presented by MERCER ana j.
j. Rowe, the two men who swOre that
they saw Mr. Glenn stop In the jury room,
shake hands with the jurors and question
them As soon as these affidavits had
been submitted Mt Glenn sWore out war
rants against the two men, charglng them
with perjury a few days after TINS
one Of the jurors in the Myers case had
warrants for intimidation sworn out
against MERCER Rowe and man named
Johnson, alleging that they had come to
his house at night and threatened TO do
him bodily harm unless he signed an ai1l-
daVit that Mr.. Glenn did come INTO the
jury room and talk with the jurors. When
the men were arrested on the perjury
warrants they gave bond in the sum Of
5000, giving II. G. Underwood as securi-
~. When the second warrants were Is
sued bond of $500 in each case was re-
quired as to Rowe and MERCER and q
bond of 500 in the case of Johnson. All
these bonds were signed by Underwood.
A special from Delzel 10 the Macon Tele-
graph says. on Sunday evening, about !
o'clock O.. G.. Andrews. while walking over
his grain field discovered a coffin lying In
a small washOut, partially covered with
went at once and notified several neigh
bOrs OF his discovery. In the meantime,
the news had gained quite circulate
among the negroes ana one or two VINO
saw the coffin say that it was common
one, about large enough to accommodate
a grown person. IL was some time after
dark that neighbors gathered at the home
of c. G. Andrews TO go TO the place where
the coffin was found and quite a CROWD
of negroes went along through curiosity,
but when they arrived at the spot desig
mated there was no coffin. tt had been
removed during the short interval from
which it was found until the people gath
cred The dirt was fresh, which showed
plainly that it had been only a few mo-
ments since is was removed. Diigent
search FAILED 10 reveal any clue. The place
where 10 was found was near a public
path and it could plainly be seen where
the coffin was dragged along on end for
several feet before depOsiting it in the
small gully, and also where it was drag
ged out of its resting place for several
feet before il was taken up. II must have
been put there Saturday night and by
some one unfamiliar with the surround
ing country, and they must have been
frightened away from their work by ne
groes passing from a party at the house
of negro living near by, and the must
have been watching their opportunity
to remove the coffin after nightfall. feat
which they accomplished in a very short
time after its discovery by Mr.. An
drews and the negroes. Excitement Is
high here, especially among the negro
population. The matter Will be investl-
gated,
