LANIER LIKELY TO RECOVER,
Mrs. Perry Says Her Husband Was
justified in shooting Him,

an
Atlanta, Ga, March 1O.-The chances
now are that b. L. Lanier, the young man
who was shot by II. s. Perry at Decatur,
two days ago, will recover. Lanier was
so much better to-day that he was able
to talk. He has engaged attorneys,
through his father, and they will at once
proceed to work up evidence to convict
Perry of assault with intent to murder
Mrs. Perry to-day threatened TO have
newspaper reporters arrested for disturb
ing the peace, unless they desisted from
their attempts to interview her. She went
TO Decatur to-day to see her husband, and
to reporter, who happened to get a word
with her, she declared that he was justi-
fled in doing the shooting.
One of the latest developments in the
case is the story that Lanier had taken
Mrs Perry to a disreputable house. on
Collins street, for the purpose of giving
her an opportunity to see her husband in
one of his revels with the inmates. Per-
ry himself, ii is said, charges that it was
while at the house with his wife, Sc
GREETED in a room, waiting until he had
left that Lanier made the attempted as
sault. The story, however, seems rather
to refute the assault charge and to show
that Perry's anger was due to Lanier' $
liaSon with his wife.
