COOPER RETURNS.
Sheriff helms Meets Him at the Depot
and Takes Him TO Jail

Atlanta, Ga. July 27.--To-night at $3.50
o'clock the Southern railroad train came
in bearing John Tyler Cooper, ex-mayor
of Atlanta, who is wanted here TO serve
a three-month sentence in jail, and to pay
500 fine for embezzling money while act
ing as clerk to the county commissioners.
Cooper was met by Sheriff helms. and at
once carried to jail, He seems TO have
made a great mistake by disappearing
just when the order of court for his ar
rest was promulgated by the Judge. Coop
er did not wish 20 be confined in Jail, and
he went to a country place near Duluth,
where he proposed to stay until the gov
ernor returned, with whom an application
to remit the jail part of his sentence had
been lodged. The governor is expected
here tomorrow but it is not known what
action he Will take in regard TO Coopers
application
Cooper's friends met him at the train.
He was still as smiling as ever. His
brothers were there, and so was his
brOther-in-law. Cooper looked like
man determined to take his medicine 1t
is known that some of his friends advised
him against going away for fear 1t might
prejudice his case with the governor.
They say he has acted very indiscreetly.
At the same time they have high hopes
that the governor will grant pardon. 1t
remains to be seen what action he will
take ia the case

Rome, Ga, July 27.-W. NJ. Bridges, ex-
county school commissioner and ex-pastor
of the Second Baptist church, is on trial
for embezzling something over $1,000 from
the county of Floyd, and the case is ex-
citing much attention.
Something of a sensation was caused
this morning when Solicitor Wright an
nounced that certain charges and receipts
forged by Bridges had been stolen from
his office. Judge Henry called In tie
grand jury and gave that body a special
charge TO investigate the matter.
Several witnesses in the case were ex-
amined for the state. Public sentiment is
against Bridges, especially because his
case has been delayed for some time ana
he is, or was, man of considerable infiu-
ence with what is known as the ring
Judge Henry criticized as incendiary an
editorial In the Evening Commercial be-
cause the editorial stated it would not lie
surprising if there would be a tar ana
