were the arresting officer.
Judge Speer assured him that the United
states government would be responsible
Tor the prisoners in case the habeas corpus
was granted. Judge Speer directed that
the prisoners be given into the temporary
charge of the marshal and the hearing in
the application for habeas corpus be post
poned until Friday at 10 O'Clock, upon the
assurance of Col Preston for the prose-
cution that all the testimony in the case
could be secured by that time.
Col. Preston said he had received a tele-
gram just before noon from Col. Tom Ea-
son az McRae saying that Lucius Williams
could not live until night. He thought
therefore that promised developments
would change the import of the charge.
which now stood assault with intent to
murder.
Judge Speer said that no hearing could
be had until the result of Williams
wounds had been determined. Even
should he die, however, the scourt said
there would still be an unsettled question
as to whether the case would come within
the jurisdiction Of the state courts. The
determination of this would depend upon
the evidence in the case whether or not

On the other hand, if 1t was shown that
the officers had necessity for the vio-
lence complained of for self-protection and
the upholding of the dignity of the court,
they would not be amenable to the su-
periOr court He directed United States
Marshal Harrell to take temporary charge
Of Kelly and the Garrisons until the hear

Friday.
The killing of old man Williams makes
the third tragedy in the now famous civil
feud, and the end is not yet.
Col. Mclean, the clerk of the county
court of Telfair county, and Edward Nc
Rae came near having an alteration over
the affair while in the court house cor
ridor to-day. Mr.. Mclean made a state
ment in Mr.. McRae's hearing rejecting
severely on the whole Dodge crowd. Mr..
McRae was not the party addressed bus
hearing the remark and becoming in
censed at it, he stepped up and said that
the statmenet was untrue. Col. Mclean
replied that he knew Mr. McRae was arm
ed. The latter replied that he was not.
There was a somewhat heated contro-
versy. Bystanders interfered at this juno
ture and got the gentlemen apart. 1t is
hoped that the unpleasantries have been
ended.

dress the jury

and David NJ. Butler The leave asked
for was granted by the supreme court

breath, the writs were denied. The pro-

out Of the fact that In March, 1894, party

tried 70 hang him. This attempt was
unsuccessful, but fortnight later he was
