A Charge of Assault with Intent to
Rape Hanging over Him.

Griffin Ga, Feb. lS.-There were some
very sensa tional developments to-day
growing out Of the shooting affray be-
tween DR.. G. F. Johnson and J. T. Pitts,
which occurred here last week.
Late this afternoon Pitts took out a
warrant for Johnson, charging him with
assaulting Mrs. Pitts. Johnson was ar

Johnson says he is not guilty.
Pitts and his wife declare that the
charges in the warrant are true.
DR.. Johnson had been their physician
since last June, and was admitted to their
house and looked upon as an honest man,
they claim. until the commission OF the
act which led to all the trouble.
The warrant states the date to be Jan.

On Jan y they say that Johnson signed
a paper in their presence, admitting un-
becoming conduct and agreeing to leave
the city in five days, and not TO return,
except In case of serious illness in his
family. He failed to act up to his agree
ment; hence the subsequent action.

Witnesses For the state Think the
Prisoners Is Sane.

Atlanta. Ga, Feb. 1S.-Gov. Atkinson
has ordered two military companies to
guard the DeKalb county Jail and protect
Flanagan. w. c. Glenn, Flanagans
lawyer, had asked for a mistrial and a
change of venue, but Judge Gambler re-
fused il.
The states witnesses gave testimony to-
day. Two men who had roomed with
Flanagan prior to the murders pronounced
him sane. Both said that he knew right
from wrong.
The neighbor who arrived at the Allen
home after the double murder had been
committed said that Flanagan told him he
was drunk when he did the shooting.
Flanagan had asked for thirty-six hours
in which to make some disposition of his
money and said that after that he would
witnesses who saw Flanagan Just after
the tragedy gave the same evidence.
Sheriff Austin. who arrested him stated
that Flanagan did not appear to be insane
Two jailers who attended him in the
Fulton county jail testified that the pris-
oner had talked and acted like sane man
DR.. Baird, an expert, pronounced Flan-
agan sane. He said there was nothing in
the knee jerk test, of which some of
the doctors spoke yesterday.
Col. Hal T. Lewis, the attorney for the
state, has the same kind of knee that
Flanagan has, and l do not think there
is anything the matter with Col Lewis.

Atlanta Clearing House Wants
Changes in the Laws

Atlanta, Ga, Feb 1S.-The clearing
house committee. which Investigated the
receivership of the State Savings Bank.
in its report to-day which was adopted,
recommended the following changes in
the receivership laws which the CONNER
cial interests of the state are. called upon
to press before the legislature at its next
session:
'First-No bill seeking receiver should
be entertained without requiring the
plaintiff to file at the time a bond with
security to meet any and all damage that
may be caused to the defendant, in case
the petition for a receiver is not sus-
tanned.
'Second-The law which now allows at
torneys to collect fees out of the funds of
firms or corporations brought into court
when bills are filed for receivers, should
be changed so as to require each client
TO pay his own attorneys fees, and to
stop the payment of fees from funds
brought into court
Resolved, further, That we call the
harm produced by forcing business prop
critics unnecessarily into the hands of re-
ceivers, to the attention of the judiciary
and we express the hope that they will
exercise all possible discretion to mitigate
the eVn incident thereto"

dend of $40. 50 on the share and the trus-
tees claimed that they were entitled to
the money, but the executors claimed that

to the principal share OF the money.

GRANTS MORE TIME TO GRANT.
THE GOVERNOR REsPITEs THE Ne
GRO ron TWO WEEKS.

During This Time the Governor VIII
Carefully weigh the New Evidence
in the Case-The Belief Gaining
Ground That lie VIII Commute His
Sentence-strOnG Influence Is
Brought to Bear in the Negroes Be
haIf-Mrs. MyricI1 One of Those Be
Friending Him.
Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 1s.-Gov. Atkinson
this afternoon granted another respite to
Sam Grant, the Amercus negro muir
derer, who was to have been hanged to-
moro ow The respite is for two weeks,
during which time the governor will make
an investigation of the new matter in the
case, and probably commute his sentence
to life imprisonment, an application TO
that effect being now pending before him.
To-day Justice Fish of the supreme
court, who was the circuit trial judge be-
fore whom Grant was convicted, wrote to
the governor asking for the negro's COM
mutation. Judge Fish stated that he
was satisfied that he committed an error
in refusing to allow another speech to be
made Dy the attorneys for the negro,
although the supreme court upheld his po-
stion upon a technicality.
Mrs Myrck, editor of the Americus Re-
corder, appeared before the governor to-
day and made plea for the negro's life.
In addition there are a number of letters
from influential citizens asking clemency.
Grant bore good character prior 70 the
time of the killing and there is a belief in
the community that he killed the other
negro which occurred at a dance, in self
defense. The testimony of the witnesses
for the state who swore that Grant shot
while the other was retreating will be i'm
peached before the governor. He will,
however, hear from the state also in this
Impeachment. Grant was respted last
Friday an hour before he was 10 have
been hanged until tomorrow. He was
preparing to mount the gallows when the
news of the respite was received.
Americus, Ga, Feb. 1S.-The deepest in
terest prevailed here to-day as to the de-
cision of the governor in the case of Sam
Grant The suspense to the poor negro
was terrible and was shared in part by
hundreds of good citizens who have work
ed to save him from the gallows, and,
while it was hoped the governor would
commute the sentence, there is great sat
isfaction expressed even at the further re-
spite of two weeks. Never in the history of
the county have the best citizens felt such
deep interest in a condemned criminal or
worked harder to save a life. The belief
is now expressed that the successful i'm
peachment of several states witnesses
will result in commutation of the death
sentence.
