time Of his arrest Duncan had been shot

lands watched his wife closely and when
after being convicted Duncan was given a
second trial. he discovered that she had
been subpoened in behalf Of the defense.
He went to her fathers home at Adairs-
Vile where she was then stopping, took
her away and secreted her until the trial
was over and the death sentenced passed
the second time. After affirmation Of the
verdict by the supreme court, Mrs. Lands
evaded her husband, went to the attorneys
OF Duncan, and made an AFFIDAVIT in re-
gard to the plot between her husband and
sister-in-law. She said she could not stand
by and see an innocent man hanged. With
Mrs. Lands affidavit, the attorney went
before the governor and obtained a full
pardon for Duncan.
In her suit for divorce, Mrs. Lands
claimed that from the first her husband
was cruel to her, abusing and beating her
upon many occasions. The couple patch
ed up their differences, however, until the
spring of 1895, when the plot was entered
into to have Duncan hanged. BY the terms
of the verdict Mrs. Lands has all of her
disabilities removed, and is given the right
to re-marry. Thomas Lands, however,
was denied the right to marry again. He
was not present at the trial, and his
Wherea bouts are unknown.

week He is quite wealthy, but was found
guilty of taking stolen betting from the
Bohannon gang. Farrar appeared in court
without a lawyer, conducting his own de-
tense. He protested his innocence, but was
found guilty nevertheless. His conviction
produced a sensation equal to that when
Capt Peoples, the Western and Atlantic
railroad agent, was found guilty. Capt.
Peoples yesterday sent his resignation in
as agent of the road, and was relieved Of
duty.
The case against Floyd Farrar for re-
ceiving stolen goods was nolle pressed.
". B. McCarson, a North Dalton mer-
chant, entered plea of guilty TO receiv-
ing stolen goods-three sacks of coffee
through his attorneys, and the same was
done by George w. Koran, a merchant.
Another case against T. ]. Peoples was
called. He was not present, and bond
was forfeited. The cases were called
against Drew NJ Peoples and Tom n. Pee
pies, but no arrest had been made. The
case against James Gregory was not tried
because he was absent, and his bond was
forfeited. The cases against Mack Can

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 19.-Fifty-three of the
seventy cases on the civil calendar of the
United States court for the present term
are damage suits against the Southern
railroad. This is remarkable. Never In
The history of the court in this section

school can find a location somewhere else.
Mr.. Brown is opposed 10 the use of the

the agricultural college. which is entitled
TO the money. is a farce. He thinks that
the state is being done a great injustice
in this and his report will call for a radi-
cal change. The present agricultural col
lege, supposed to exist as a part of the
university, is only a subject for rfdicule.
and Mr.. Brown says the farming inter-

of a real college for the teaching of agri-

Mr.. Brown and Dr. J. B. Hunnicutt.
professor of agriculture in the university
have been engaged in preparing the re-
port to be made to the legislature for
several days and neither will discuss it's
contents, however. But. as stated the in

be TO take the normal school property for
the agricultural college and let that insti-
