The Funeral and the Result of the
COrOner's Inquest.
Royson, Ga. July 23.-The people Of the
county have not yet recovered from their
horror caused by the awful tragedy in the
home of David Bergman. the farmer who
killed his wife and four children. and then
killed himself. The coroner held an in
quest this morning, and the verdict was
that Bergman murdered his wife and
children, and then committed suicide. The
funeral took place this afternoon, and
was largely attended. Bergman was a
very bad man when intoxicated, and Il
Is believed he was crazy drunk when he
committed the terrible crimes.
AS already told, the crime was discov-
cred by r servant girl of a neighbor
who for compensation MIXED the
COWS of the Serryman's. When the bodies
were found by the nelghbors Bergman
was lying on the bed, load OF shot hav-
ing been fired by himself into his head.
Three of the children were piled up to-
gether. their heads having been blown
from their bodies. A little way from them
lay the body of the wife and mother
with her dead infant on her Breast. 1t
was sad and sickening sight Berry
man belonged to one of the old families
of the county and until within the last two
or three years had been rated as a good
citizen. After he began drinking. how
ever, he became a terror. On more than
one occasion he had threatened to shoot
his wife and children when under the m
fiuence Of liquor. The Bergman tragedy
is one that will be long remembered in
the county.

had circumstances been favorable to the
boy. Willie had fifty cents in his purse
when he fell in at the different stores last
night and besieged the clerks and mer-
chants for the loan of a dollar, the bal
ance required to procure the license from
the ordinary. He said that he did not want
to disappoint his sweetheart; she expect
ed him 10 obtain the license promptly. His
request for the loan was declined by ev-
cry one that he applied to. He was told
that he would require more money than
the price of the license in order to get mar
ried and take the proper care of wife,
and to this his reply was: Just so we get
married we will be happy; I can look after
the bridge when 1 get to it"

ceive a fiogging anda severe reprimand on

ANNE TUDOR's MURDER.
The Grand Jury Returns True Bill
Against Thompson.


Rome, Ga. July 23-The grand jury to-
day returned a true bill against Charles
Thompson for the murder of Anne Tuder
month ago. She was found dead in a
wen by a searching party. She had been
staying at Thompson's house. mile from
this city. and suspicion was directed to-
ward him. He told a lurid story of how
she tried to commit suicide. and he
helped her. He said she hanged herself
IN a well, and then he cut the rope. and
let her fall in. Recently he has denied
this story, and says a man named Dur
ham committed the crime. The story Is
not believed Durham says he can easily
prove an alibi.
The grand jury has refused 10 find a
bill against Sanford for shooting Police
man Mulkey, deciding that it was done in
self-defenSe. 1t Will be remembered that
the TWO had street duel here last spring.
in which seven people were more or less
injured. Mulkey nearly died, but is up
again. Sanford is very popular through
the country. and the general verdict Is
that he acted in self-defense.
