LAWYER DUPED BY ALUNATIC.
col. GLENN ENGAGED TO DEFEND
An IMAGINARY MURDERER.

The Man Represents Himself ns u
Member of a New York Law Firm
and Was an Interested Spectator
at the Flanagan Trial-He Engages
Two Physicians OF Atlanta to Tes-
fifty as Experts and Col. Glenn as
Associate Counsel in His Mythical
Case to Come Up at Rome.
Atlanta. Ga July 31.-J. L. Moyse. rep
resendng himself TO be of the firm OF
Lloyd, Moyse & West, attorney Of New
York appeared here Monday and spent
the morning as a spectator Of the famous
Flanagan murder case, in which the de-
tense was insanity.
In the afternoon Mr.. Moyse approached
Col ". c. Glenn, leading counsel for
Flanagan, and introduced himself. saying
ne mad come to employ Col Glenn to aid
case at Rome, Ga.
He said he had been sent to Georgia by
the Crescent Brewing Company to defend
r. T. Mathews, who was indicted for the
murder OF his wife. and Mathews having
been an agent Of the brewing company,
the company had put up IN
limited money to defray the
expenses Of the defense. He went into
the details of the crime and the law in
the case in a very intelligent manner and
ended 10y employing Col. Glenn for fee
of $1,000 to aid in defending the prisoner.
Since that time he has been a spectator
at the Flanagan trial. watching with alb
sorbed interest the highly interesting de
Tense of Flanagan, which was based upon
the defendants afiiction with paranoia
on the strength of his having engaged
Coz. Glenn in the Mathews case, Moyse as
sisted in the defense of Flanagan and made
a most valuable aid showing himself to
be an expert in al matters pertaining to
mental arrangements.
The case OF Flanagan was concluded to-
day, and this afternoon a conference was
held at Col. Glenn Office to consider the
Mathews case. Drs. Pinckney and Nicol-
son, two of the leading physicions of the
state and experts in mental diseases, were
sent for at Moyse's suggestion, and employ
ed as experts to testify in the case of
Mathews Monday.
After a conference of two hours, the
party adjourned to meet at Rome to take
up the trial, no one dreaming that there
was no such case. In some way Moyse $
actions here had excited the suspicious Of
the detective department and he was plac-
ed under arrest tonight. II has developed
that he is insane, being a paranoiac of the
same type as Flanagan, but his condition
was never suspected until he was eXamin-
ed in the police barracks tonight
To the casual observer he is perfectly
sane. but it has developed that the case
of Mathews is a purely imaginary one.
Moyse stated tonight that he has made
a speciality of the study of insanity for
years. He talks with intimate knowledge
of all the famous insanity cases that have
been before the country in recent years,
particularly the Duestrow case. He Will
be sent to his home tomorrow.

TAX RETUnNs OF THE STATE.
The seventy Counties Heard From

Atlanta, Ca. July 31.-Ircrease over last
year in tax returns continues, but the
hopes Of ControIer General Wright do not
show proportional elevation. He has lost
hope, and viii now feel thankful if the
returns hold their own as compared with
those Of last summer Seventy counties
have been heard from showing a gain
Of sl,549 80, or an average of over 81, 900
per county. The gain for the day was
$500 so. These figures look large, but il
happens that IN the seventy counties that
have already reported no big cities are
located.
The returns from Bib, Fulton, Musco-
gee, Richmond and Chatham are anxious
~ awaited. The first, it is supposed will
be of 100000, the second S1,5OO,O0O the
third 100000 and there seems to be no
information here from which the slump
IN Chatham and Richmond can be guessed
at. The controller considers 1t certain, or
nearly so, that a deficit will be reported
in each instance 1t Is said that large
commercial factors of one kind and an
other account for the decrease in the big
cities.

EAGLE AND PHENIx CREDITORS.
The Special Master Reports Against
the Savings DepOsitOrs.

Atlanta, Ga, July 31.-Mr. Wimbish,
who was appointed to look into the Eagle
and Phenix mill complications, filed his
report to-day. The important question to
be decided was whether the bondholders
or the depositors In the savings bank con-
nected with the institution had the prior
claim to the property. The report of the
special master gives a first lien to the
bcndholders on all the property covered
by the mortgage executed to secure the
issue of bonds, and decide that the depos-
itors have first lien only on that por-
tion of the property of the company not
included in the express terms of the mort
gage BY the terms of the report the
bOndholders become the preferred credit
ors. the dapositors are next favored and
the general creditors 10 the extent of about
$4,000 get nothing. At the time of the
appointment of the receivers the deposit
ors claimed a first lien on the entire prop
erty by virtue of the act of 1873, authoriz-
ing the savings department and requiring
the company to pledge its capital and
property for the payment OF the deposit
ors.
Judge Newman held that this act itself
did not create lien, but the action of the
stockholders and directors on March 90
1873 purporting 10 pledge by resolution did
have the effect of creating an equitable
lien in favor of the depositors good against
the company and subsequent creditors with
notice. In 1891 the savings department
was discontinued, the deposits at that
time amounting to over 100000. The
company authorized the execution of a
mortgage purporting 10 be a first-class lien
TO secure 81. 100000 of bonds exclusively for
the payment Of the deposits Thus was
"a ha pl i'm NJ two of
itors to the prior lien on the property Of
the Eagle and Phenix Company. The
depositors represented a claim of $l19, ll004
and the bondholders 1892 900.

ceedings were instituted to-day by GER
tain citizens of Americus, who are also
minority stockholders in the Georgia and
Alabama railway. to restrain the company
from removing the general offices from
this city to Savannah. Preparations had
been made TO at once remove the office of
General Freight and Passenger Agent
Pope. or at least a branch of 1t, when
the sheriff served the injunction. Judge
Littlejohn will hear the case on Aug. is
The people Of Americas think the roads
general offices should remain here. as pro-
vided in the charter, and will make de-
termined effort 10 that end.
General Freight and Passenger Agent
Pope had expected to have his office force
at Savannah shortly after Aug. l. The
second floor of the Kelly building on Bay
street is now being put in readiness for the
general Offices. The Offices OF the general
manager and the auditor we're to be moved
about Sept 1 and If the injunction does
not become permanent they probably will
yet be brought over about that time
The injunction proceedings were not en-
trely unexpected by the Georgia and Ala
blma officials. They anticipated strong
objections 20 the removal Of the offices. but
considered that the interests OF the road
demanded the change. The establishment
Of the splendidly equipped shops at Amer
icus was regarded by the dire tors as a
concession TO Americus that might be con-
siderod a recompense for the at-the-time
contemplated removal of the offices.
