MAY GET A NEW TRIAL.
Amdavits Filled in Behalf of Simon
O'NcilI.

Judge Fallgant will hear argument in
the superior court Saturday morning on
the extraordinary motion for a new trial
for Simon O'Nelll, now serving fifteen
year sentence in the penitentiary for the
killing of Preston Brooks.
The motion is filed by Mr.. F. NJ. Oliver,
Jr., attorney for O'Neill. Attached to the
petition are several affidaVits, containing
evidence of an important character.
j. f. Henderson, a street car conductor,
makes affidavit to hearing two negroes
cursing some one at the corner of Ogle-
thorpe avenue and East Broad street on
them attack O'Neill and Sullivan, and
that O'Neill fell. He regained his feet
and ran, one of the negroes following him.
When O'NeiIl dropped the white man with
him began shooting. The witness stated
that he said nothing about the case before
because he did not want to be mixed up
with it.
A colored woman makes affidavit that
O'Neill ran into her house after the ne
groes attacked him. He was staggering
and bleeding at the head. She was mad
with O'Neill for arresting her, and said
nothing of what she saw.
Policeman Thos. c. Murphy makes
affidavit that O'Neill was bleeding
profusely when arrested at his house and
that O'Neill stated that he and Sullivan
had been attacked by the negroes.
w. II. Fleming and c. II. Vetter make
affidavits that they heard Jack Young,
who was a witness a the trial, say in
August last that he was preJudiced against
O'Neill
B. F. Murphy makes affidavit that Will
liam Payton. a witness for the state at the
trial, but now serving a sentence on the
chain-gang. has said that he would like
to have O'Neill hung. showing strong feel
ing and prejudice against him.
O'Neill and Sullivan were both convict
ed of the killing Of Brooks, and sentenced
to fifteen years in the penitentary. Both
men have many friends, who would like
to see them have another chance for their
liberty If a new trial is granted by
Judge Falligant the case will come up a
the December term of the court If he
decides against the motion, an appeal will
be taken to the supreme court.

CAssIN's BOND FORFEITED.
His BOndsman Said to Have Been
Unidentified by Judge HiIIyer.


Atlanta. Ga, Oct. 25.-Harry Cassin, for
merly cashier of the Georgia Loan, Saw
ings and Banking Company, is now a fu-
gitive from justice. His bond, signed by
Frank Cocker, Jr., local banker. for
$4,000, was forfeited in the superior court
to-day by Judge Beck. presiding in the
place of Judge Gambler.
The indictment against Cassin was for
embezzlement. His father-in-law, Judge
George Hillyer, is said to have Unidentified
Banker Coker, the intention from the
first being that Cassin should leave the
country and forfeit the bond.
Prior to the announcement of his short
age. few young men stood higher in finan-
clal circles than Harry Cassin. He was
supposed to have particularly fine bust
ness judgment and kept the outward APP
pearance OF success, despite heavy losses
which he must have sustained
g. V. Gress, the president of the bank,
was in New York for some time, and the
entire mana cement of the institution was
left in Cassin's hands. Just what became
OF the S'l.G0O, which is alleged to have
been embezzled, has never been discovered,
although much of ii is said to have become
squandered in the promotion of wild
schemes. Cassin left Atlanta several
months ago to go to the country for his
health. From the summer resort he is
said to have gone to New York From
New York he is said to have embarked for
South Africa to Join several other Amer
lean promoters in the formation of an Az
rican land company.

"BIeeding Bread"
From Good Words.

In the middle ages, when science was
dead and superstition was rife the blood
portent' was one of those things most
feared and dreaded. AT certain rare times
the milk or the bread of a household
would be found covered with moist blood
red spots, and the popular mind at once
saw in the phenomenon either presage of
some terrible calamity or revelation of
deed Of blood already secretly consum-
mated. Or perhaps the holy waters In a
church were found stained as with blood
and then the awe-struck community held
that some act of awful guilt had caused
the wounds of Christ to bleed anew, and
they wou search in righteous Indignation
for the offender, and humble themselves
in pentence and prayer; and in those days
of lawlessness and bloodshed, it was sell
DOM indeed. that they could not find some
thing to Justify their suspicious
To the miracle-monger the blood-portent
was a perennial source of the marvellous ;
bleeding Hosts" in various parts of the
country served as a pretext for long and
expensive pilgrimages, and the doctrine of
transubstantiation received new proofs Of
confirmation among the credulous, since
the waters were thus visibly and actually
changed into flesh and blood 1t Is remark
able too how frequently this terrible sign
is reported as associated with acts of desc

every century do we read of instances,

they confessed their guilt, and then burn

twenty suffered in this way Judenberg and
twenty years later twenty-eght Jews were
executed and burned for the same offense.
One notable occasion is still kept in re-
%membrance at the annual festival of the
miracles on July 10. at ST. Gudule's
church at Brussels The tale is this In
the middle of the fourteenth century a
certain Jew, to show his hatred of Chris
tianity, resolved % steal and desecrate
some holy waters. He therefore took six
teen from st. GATHERINGS in Brussels, but
did not live to complete his plan for retri-

secret assassination. His widow, however,
gave the pyx containing them to certain
other Jews, and these, undeterred by the
terrible fate of their friend, met on Good

teen waters on a table, and proceeded,
with "horrid imprecations" to stab each
with a poniard. AS each wafer broke 1t
bed, says the legend. The Jews, Mortified,
fed in dismay, and the waters were after

of st. Gudule. since which time many
other miracles, notably the assuaglng of
serious epidemics. have been performed in
some inexphcable way through their

A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. L. A. ToboIdt, of the
University of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for FIVE centuries, is certainly
well worthy of a careful study.
NV experience with this RENE
diaIagent has been such that /
may truly say that no remedy
which l ever employed has given
me so much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
bafled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, | was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only a limited amount of exercise
was INDUCED in, | obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use,
began to clear up, the step be,
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
of hypochondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
DR.. Toboldt's lecture, with
table of cases treated, will be
mailed to any address upon ap-
plication to the agents of the

Chicago, Oct 25.-There is a possibility
that the second trial of Adolph L. Luet-
CERT, the alleged wifemurderer, will begin
