FUSION NEGOTIATIONS OFF.
PopulSt Committeeman Washbum Tells
the Reason Why.

Chicago. Oct 26.-tieorgc f. Wash
burn of the populist national committee,
who returned from Georgia today, de-
clared in an interview tonight that all
fusion negotiations between Senator
Jones and himself were off. He said:
There were few states where fusion
was pending, and we were trying to
consummate arrangements. When WIS.,
tied Georgia l saw that it was the senti-
mcnt that all complications should be adj
iusted at once that the solid vote of the
middle-of-thc-road populists might re Sc
cured for Bryan. While we were ar.
ranging these matters 1t was flashed
over the wires that Georgia and Tennes-
see democrats had rejected the oyertures
made by the populists and adjourned
without making counter-proposltlon.
This was most unfortunate, and it oc-
cured at time when it seemed apparent
that all complications would be removed,
our people satisfied and Bryan's cleo
tion made certain. AS these two states
were involved in our arrangements this
| action rendered it impossible for us to
continue negotiations.
They were broken off and Il confer
ence arranged with Mr.. Watson and Mr..
| Reed at Nashville, that | might report to
them the facts of the case. The RESPONSE
bility of all this must rest squarely on
the Georgia and Tennessee democracy
They seemed more anxious to beat the
populists than to elect Bryan. and what
| ever the results the odium of their un-
patriotic action must rest upon thcm
| I'm all justice to Senator Jones, l must
SAY that from the beginning he has been
eager to remove all complications and et-
feet an equitable fusion in every state,
and thus unite all the silver forces for

him in fourteen places about the body.
The wounded man walked to the
corner of 9Th and Marshall Streets
after being cut, and fell in front of II.
NJ Shields drugstore. A few minutes
later he had expired.
WINNER gave himself up. He said
that he killed Thalhimer. because he
had ruined his daughter, Ida May, q
young woman twenty years OF age.
She claims tnat Thalhimer accom-
plished her ruin in April last by force.
The coroner's jury alter hearing the
testimony by the girl, Messrs Charles
A Brooks. Edinboro Archer, Jr., James
Alexander Lewis and Officer George

Alternately will come up before Judge

September 21.
Hon George d. Wise, ex-Judge H.
w. Flouroy and Captain A. b. Guigon
will represent the accused. The ac-
tion of Judge Coleman in setting aside
the verdict places her in position
just as though she had never been con-
victed and it becomes an open Ques-
tion as to whether counsel for the
prosecution will deem it advisable to
put the state TO further expense in the
matter.
WILL SET HEB FREE.
III nolle prosequi is decided upon,
it is barely possible that Mary Aber-
nathy will be conveyed TO Farmvilie.
On the contrary, it is expected that
she will be discharged from custody
at Lynchburg, and from there brought
to Richmond.
In order to place her again on trial
for her life there must be additional
evidence from he witnesses and tine
commonwealth comedies that this il
not at hand.
II old man Pollard were alive il
would be impossible TO legally convict

This means that with the same wit.

viction would be followed by anothe,
reversal by his court.
If Judge Coleman takes this view
it is plainly evident as TO what th'
Supreme Court of Appeals would d,
under similar circumstances.
Papers are being prepared in Mar,
Rarnes' case. She is working in tn,
Virginia penitentiary in the shoe de

It should not be forgotten that ole
man Pollard always testified that whel
hia wife was murdered, Mary Barne
was in the field working with him.
THEORY EXPLODED.
The conspiracy theory has lonl
since been exploded and it is reasona
bly, certain that Governor O'Ferral
will pardon the prisoner for the ask

It was essentially necessary tina
Mary Barnes should not have bee
lcarried back into Lunenburg county a
the time the excitement and feelin

more than once expressed regret tha
he could not press legal contest i
