Two Georgia Editors Hsvea Nordy war;
Creatiug Considerable Excitement.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 25.-Philip q.
Bird ana W. A. Knowles, EDITORS OF
rival papers in Rome, Ga, have been
having an editorial war in thier papers.
Knowles says IT was Onesided. as he
never referred 10 his rivall until two
weeks ago. when his paper. the Tribune
denounced Bird in sulphuric language.
Time passed, and the, talk OF duel
created much excitement in North Goor-
gia. BIRD resigned his seat in the Legis-
lature. and it was presumed that things
were coming to a crisis. A special from
Rome gives a card, in Which he says
that he sent a friend named Underwood
10 demand a re1raction.
Knowles refused TO retract his language.
Then Mr. Underwood sent friend 10
Ed. Knowles with a note, asking him TO
go to some point outside re state to
continue the correspondence. rhis pre-
sumably meant a request for an oppor-
tunty TO send a challenge, Bird not de-
string TO Sc send on in his own State,
where he would be liable to prosecution.
Kowles refused to send a reply 10 tins
communication. and now Bird says that
Knowles. after calling hhA a coward,
will no. give him an opportunity of salts
faction.
The position Of Knowles Is. that as Bird
appealed % the code, tie code should
govern, and under it the insulted party
shall demand satisfaction "within a rea-
sOnabe time"
Knowles friends say that reasonable
time" cannot be extended 10 tWo weeks.
1t is stated that Knowles Will not pay
any further attention TO the matter.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. oct. S.-The
Examiner says:
The mysts rious statement which Theo-

speculation, was placed in the hands OF
the attorneys for the defence before Mr..

the jury. Every effort was made 10 Keep
these facts secret, but they have leaked
out at last, and denials arc without Ell

In a verdict of acquittal, or If there was
disagreement. then the document, WIN
the seals unbroken, was to be returned
The attorneys did not know quite what 10
do. They sought the advice OF others,
and finally determined to open the letter,
and did so, Notwithstanding the injunction
which the student had placed upon thehl'
What they read was a revelation. Iheir
client had told them nothing Of what he
wrote in his letter.
STARTLING sTArEMFST.
If what he said were true. he should
be the leading witness for the state III
the case against brace Of murderers IN
stead Of man defending his own Ire
against tremendous odds. He told his at
torneys that he knew the murderers OF
Blanche Lamont, for there were more
than one. He informed his lawyers that
when he ascended to the upper galleries
of Emanuel church he saw the last de-
tails of murder. He wrote In MS let
ter that he saw Rev. J. George Gibson
and a young man prominent In the al
fairs of the church bending over the body
OF Blanche Lamont.
How the attorneys accepted this state
ment may best be judged by their ac-
lions. They deny that they received the
statement, forgetting that they did not
keep their own secret. Their client de-
MES that he sent IT. forgetting that he
had gone so far in his original and SEN
sational plan.
