daughter Of Henry county farmer last

jail for safe keeping. was taken from the
Central railroad train, on which he was
being brought to Atlanta, at Griffin this

men, Immediately after the commission Of

finally captured by farmer at Barnesville

was thought he would be safe
Excitement in the case was supposed to
have subsidized until last night, when ru-
mors reached Macon that an effort would
be made by mob from the neighborhood
of the crime to take the negro out of the
jail and the police reserve and the military
were called out to protect him. To make
sure of his safety. however the officials
decided 70 take their prisoner to Atlanta

TENNESSEE'S NEW SENATOR.
Likely to Become One of the Prom
inent Figures in ConHress.

Mr.. Turley, the new senator from Ten
nessee, is likely to become one Of the
prominent figures of the Senate. He Is
small man, of dark complexion, with sharp,
regular features and very bright and intel
hgent eyes. He is scarcely larger than
Senator Wilson Of Washington, and is al
most as dark-skinned as an Italian. Though
he is fifty-four years old, and was Senator
Harris law partner from 1874 until the
late senator ceased to practice, he looks no
more than thirty-five.
He said today that he had never before
held Office, and had never sought political
position of any sort. 1t was said Just
prior to his appointment that he would not
be 4 candidate for election by the legisla-
ture, and that he and his friends had SO
informed the governor. He says that there
is no truth in this statement as far as 1t
attributes any declaration on the subject
to him.
He says the subject was not mentioned
between him and the governor and that,
Of course, he would not have accepted the
appointment had there been any condition
suggested. He did not say that he would
or that he would not seek election, but
stated that he had never indicated that he
would not do SO. He comes with the repu-
tation OF an orator Of some qualities. Dur
ing the last campaign he made but one
speech. That was in reply to 3ourke
Cockran's famous gold speech at Nash
vile. 1t is claimed by the Tennessee demo-
Gratis that he proved himself to be a
stronger man than Cochran.

MURDERED IN HER BED
Mysterious Circumstances Attending the
Shooting of Mrs. Michael Kmentz.
Suspected Husband Charges q Former
BOnrder Named Muluiak With
the Terrible Deed.

NEWARK, N. J., July 3.-Mrs. Michael
Kmentz, who is a saloon keeper of this
city, was found murdered in bed at their
home today. Her husband and her seven
year-old son are in the custody Of the po-
lice. The officers are looking for Andrew
Muluiak, who, the child told them, shot the
woman and fled.
According to the story told by the boy,
who slept in the same room with his father
and mother, Muluiak entered his parents
bed chamber early this morning in his
stocking feet. Mrs. Kmentz slept on the
outside of the bed, while her husband slept
near the wall. The boy says that he saw
Muluiak creep up to the bed noiselessly and
draw a revolver. This he pressed against
the right side of Mrs. Kmentz, pulled the
trigger and ran away. Only one shot was
fired. Mrs. kmentz was instantly killed.
Story of the Husband.
Kmentz told the authorities that he was
av akened by the noise of the shot, and that
he saw Muluiak in the room. He said he
sprang out of bed and grappled with Mulu-
lax, who still clutched the revolver in his
hand and hit him on the head with the butt
end. knocking him down. He said that
Muluiak then ran from the house, and he
followed him. He yelled for the police and
To them he explained the shooting. They
were unable to see any trace of the fugitive,
and the police, from this and other state
mentS that conflict, doubt whether he COM
mitted the murder. The revolver with which
the shooting was done has not been found.
Neighbors allege that Kmentz and his wife
had frequent quarrels.
Muluiak Had Been n Boarder.
Muluiak had for several years boarded
with the Kmentz family. Everything went
along all right until short time ago, when
Kmentz became suspicious and ordered the
boarder to leave his home. This Muluiak
did. but before going he told Kmentz that
he had been intimate with Mrs. Kmentz
for a long time. Subsequently Muluiak
wrote letter, in which he told of the al
legged intimacy with Mrs. kmentz and said
it was his intention to kill her on sight.
This SO greatly frightened Mrs kmentz
that she fed from the house on Saturday
last, taking the two children with her. She
returned heme on Tuesday night.
