mltted 10 Jail yesterday on a warrant for

ing Russell, Jr. The warrant was sworn

cutor had given him for that purpose
some time in December.
Gavitch maintained that the money was
never given him, and he is firm in the pro-
fession Of his innocence. He is anxious to
have his case tried at once, as he has a
wife and four children dependent upon him
for support. He has requested that the
solicitor bring the case before Judge Nor
wood, If an earlier disposition Of 1t can
be so made.

that he gave the mate $3.50 Of the amount
due the cook Battesta, which was $32 40

PREACHED ON THE Law OF GOD.
Rev. Father O'COnnOr's Sermon mt
the Cathedral.

Rev. Father O'COnnOr's Sermon mt
the Cathedral.
THE Law of Cod was the subject Of
the sermon delivered by Rev ]. f. O'Con-
nor at the cathedral last night 1t was
the second night of the mission conducted
by the Jesuit fathers and the capacity of
the church was crowded. many being com
peeled to stand. Besides the congregation
of the cathedral many Sacred Heart and
st. Patricks church parishioners were
present, besides members of other denom-
nations than the Catholic.
Father O'Connor is a native of Savan-
nah and his sermon was appreciated from
this fact. He Is a fine orator and his de-
livery is forceful and easy.
The subject of his address was one which
admitted of wide scope, but he covered IL
fully. He spoke of the law of God and
its relation to man in all its form. He
showed where man is alike to God, and
therefore. should do all in his power to
initiate his good works.
He spoke of what God has done for
man and how poorly man repays him. He
told of Gods anger at those who sinned
and how he meted out punishment 10
those who violated his laws He drew a.
picture of the great king, Belshazzar,
seated at the banquet table with all his
great generals and men of his time He
spoke of how Belshazzar had sinned and
violated Gods laws and how he was de-
stroyed in all his glory
God, when he created the stars. the
ocean, the animals. the plants and trees.
he said. made laws which would govern
them and their ways. When he created
man he also made laws which should be
followed, if they were to be saved. But
out of all His creations, man alone de-
fed His word and strew disorder in the
world.
THE sinner" said Father O'Connor, sis
sure to be punished, if not in this world
then in the next. You might as well try
to run away from your shadow when the
sun shines, as to try and escape punish
ment for sins committed"
''To insure salvation,T he said, II would
tell you to follow the will OF God, made
known to you in your conscience, and
the ten commandments, and you will be
likened unto God, and your soul will be
a reflection of His immensely Do this
and you will have that peace and holiness
without which no one can see God"
The subject at tonight service which
will be held at 7:45 o'clock, will be THE
Evil of Sin" Father Power will de-
liver 1t.

A ROPE DANGLING FOR ALLEN.
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
RULES AGAINST HIM.

He Claims He Was Not Convicted At
ter Due Process of Law Because
He Was at Large When His Case
Was Pending in the state Supreme
COurt-Hc Was Given an Opportn-
nifty to Surrender, But Failed TO
Do So.
Atlanta, Ga. March 15.-Tom Allen, the
Macon murderer, win have to hang unless
Gov. Atkinson {nterferes to save his life.
which is not likely, as the case against
him is a very plain one. Attorneys Glenn
& Rountree, counsel for Allen I'm his ap-
peal to the United States supreme court.
received notice that the court had decided
Aliens case by upholding the supreme
court of the state, which had dismissed
the bill of exception for a new trial be-
cause Allen, who had made his escape
from the Macon Jail, was at large and
would not give himself up to the authori-
ties. The ground upon which the supreme
court of the United States was asked to
interfere was that Allen had not been
convicted after due process of law.
Macon Ga. March 15-Allen was indict-
ed and convicted in Bibb superior court of
city, in the summer of 1894.
The trial was had in November, 1891,
before Judge Griggs of the Albany cir
cult. After conviction and sentence to
death. Aliens counsel made a motion for
new trial, which Judge Griggs over
ruled. His lawyers, ]. w. Preston, Du-
pont Guerry and James II. Blount, Jr.,
fhnn aqrrfaH 10 to ha
court. where il was assigned for hearing
on March 4. 1895.
Before this date Allen made his escape
from Bibb county jail. and upon that fact
being brought to the attention of the
court an order was passed dismissing the
case, If Allen failed to surrender or was
not recaptured within sixty days. After
the expiration of the time. May 6. the
court finally dismissed the case.
On July 10, 1895. the judgment of the
supreme court was made the judgment
of the superior court of Bibb county.
In April, 1896. Allen was captured by
Sheriff Westcoat and a posse, and on
April % was re-sentenced TO death by
Judge Gambler, judge of the Stone Noun
Bibb county. An application was then
made by Col preston and others to the
governor for Communication to life impris-
onment of Aliens sentence. and. after
consideration of the case, the governor re-
fused to interfere.
The case was carried to the United
States supreme court, on a writ of error,
based on the ground that the supreme
court of Georgia, in dismissing Aliens
case, violated the constitution of the
United States relative to due process of
law, in denying a hearing to him on ac-
count of his failing to surrender before
the expiration of sixty days.
The points involved in the writ of error
raised questions never considered by the
United States supreme court before, and
their affirmation of the ruling of the SUI
preme court of Georgia establishes an inn
portant precedent.
Gov. Atkinson refused to interfere with
the process of the law in Aliens case,
and IL he adheres to his former decision,
there is no hope for Allen.
