THE REID HOMICIDE CASE.
Evidence Is All ina MistriaI or Ev
en- an AcquittaI May he Expected.

Macon, Ca, Sept. 7.-Evidence In Reds
case was closed this afternoon, and to-
morrow five hours win be consumed by
council on both sides in argument, then
Judge Felton's charge will leave the pris-
oners fate in the hands of the jury.
There We're sensational features in the
testimony to-day. A witness testified that
Mrs. Reid, the prisoners wife. had not
been above suspicion. Subsequently Reid
and his wife became reconciled. and hav-
ing been devoted to each other, he con-
doned her past offenses pledging to de-
fend her against any insult that should be
offered. This promise he kept when he
slew L. W. Halstead for an alleged in
suit.
After witnesses had been examined, Reid
made a statement 10 the effect that on
the day of the homicide in the afternoon,
his wife and little boy left his home for
the circus; that late in the afternoon in
front of the Telegraph Office, his wife
came to him, threw her arms about his
neck weeping. He said Alice, what In
the world is the matter with you?" She
told him that she had been insulted by
man at the circus.
He took her to the circus tent. but could
not find the man. He was informed that
he was at the circus car. He took his wife
with him and then returned to the office
bringing his shotgun and telling his wife
TO go back to the night performance with
her brother, Jerry Garfield. He was at
the circus just before his wife or about
the same time she and Garfield were
there. He heard her say There's the
man." and saw the man she alluded to
smile and offer to approach her He shot
him.
He stated that his wifes statement to
him had made him mailman and that he
decided to avenge the Insult. He spoke
of the felicity of himself and wife during
the last two years of his confidence in
her and of his condonement of her former
conduct
Mrs Reid who is quite weak. gave way
to tears during her husbands statements
Opinion as to the result is divided. but the
most accepted belief is that a mistrial will
be declared. Many of the states wit
nesses seemed to show a desire to shield
the woman. believing that inasmuch as the
husband had forgiven her wrongs. that
her character should not be assailed.
There is much true southern sentiment
displayed, and any light verdict or even
acquittal viii not be a surprise.

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept THE weekly crop
bulletin, issued to-day by the weather
bureau says of crops in Georgia.:
During the past week the weather has
been favorable to general farm work, and.
while rain would greatly improve crops
in many sections, there are but few To-
calities in the state where crops are
actually suffering from dry weather. Cot
ton has opened very rapidly, and picking
is being pushed as rapidly as possible.
There is still some complaint of rust,
and in a few places caterpillars are in
juring young cotton.
Fodder pulling is now in progress in the
northern counties, and the yield and quail
ity are good. Ia a few local localities
considerable damage was done by wind
and hail on the 3D. In the southern part
of the state, during most Of the week,
the weather has been dry and warm, ia
vorable for all farm work, and cotton pick
ing has been pushed as rapidly as possible
There has been some difficulty in secur-
ing hands for this work
Cotton is about all open in most coun-
ties in this division. In portions of De
catur county caterpillars are injuring
young cotton seriously In this portion of
the state there has been considerable
rain, and growing crops are doing very
nicely, but cotton picking has been some
what retarded.

Blackshear Ga, Sept. IA duel with
pistols occurred at Coffee, in the upper
part of this County. between Allen Dixon,
a young white man. and a negro. last Sat
urday. Both parties We're slightly wound
ed. The negro seems to have been at
fault and he made his escape, but was
caught at Jesup, and is now lodged in jail
here awaiting trial.
City Marshal John Cleland had lively
experience this morning, in attempting
to arrest Frank McDonough, a young
white man. Some days ago McDonough
and two others were before the mayor,
charged with disorderly conduct, and fines
all around were imposed. McDonough
sought to appeal his case, but could get
no one to stand his bond. To-day the
marshal demanded the fine or bond, when
McDonough seized a rifle and told him to
look out for himself. In the excite
ment McDonough jumped on his fathers
horse and made his escape.

A SENSATION EXPLODED.

AtIanta's Police Thought They Had
Luetgert Case on Hand.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. IA telegram from
the chief of police of Columbus, Ca, to-
night, stating that Mrs. Jennie Pritchett
had been located there. cleared up what
the local police thought was horrible
murder mystery, almost equaling the
Luetgert horror of Chicago.
Last night the ofice@ arrested Lem
Pritchett, a horse trader who had a big
pistol in his possession and generally
seemed to be a bad man. He had been
making disturbance in a Decatur street
wagon yard. Later on the mans two lit
tie boys were taken in charge, and they
told story about their mother that lea
the police to believe that Prtchett, in a
drunken condition, had killed her and bur-
led her body in the woods.
The Pritchetts have been travelling
through the country in a wagon in gypsy
fashion. the women telling fortunes and
the men swapping horses. Pritchett told
the police that his wife had just decided
to leave him and had gone off, but the
children said she was dead. 1t turns out
that the man had ordered his children to
tell any one who asked that their mother
was dead preferring to have her thought
dead rather than that she had deserted
them, and their obedience to his order
caused him to get into a serious-lookng
scrape. The country about the city was
searched to-day and many kilograms sent
out to find the missing woman, dead or
alive, and when the message from Column
bus came tonight the prisoner was or
dered released.

WORMS AFTER COTTON.
The Sea Island Crop Near Pelham in
Bad Condition.

The sea IsIhhd CfOp Nehr FeIhnm IA
a Bad Condition.
Pelham, Ca, Sept. THE cotton worm
has made its appearance in this county,
and is doing great damage to sea island
cotton and the late planting of upland In
some felds of sea island they have eaten
all the blooms from the stalk, and are now
eating the young bolls. A half crop can
hardly be expected if the facts as stated
by some experienced growers are true.
Sea island boIs that are not full matur-
ed viii not open if the leaves are stripped
from the plant. The wet spring retarded
planting and the heavy rains two or three
weeks ago caused half grown bolls to
shed, leaving little fruit to make, and the
top crop is likely to be ruined by the
worms. The outlook is indeed gloomy to
those planting this kind of cotton.
