knew through and through the character

their living from the farms and factories

that class and he knew what they were

viz: The substitution of 1875 for 1.S7, which
difference amounted to only w cents per

MIDvILLE's MURDER MYSTERY.
An Atlanta Lawyer Says a New Man
is Now Under Suspicion.

Is NOW bnUeF Suspicion.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Col. Tom Fielder has returned from Mid
vile, where he has been assisting in the
defense of DR.. ]. ]. Fitzpatrick, who was
to be tried for the murder of Joe Sprna,
but was turned loose on the failure of the
prosecution to appear
1t is now rumored that supicion has
turned toward another citizen Of Midwife,
whose actions on the night of this mystic
rious murder. added to other supiclous
circumstances, place him in very unen-
viable predicament, to say the least No
arrests nave as yet been made, but il is
said there is a probability of such
Col. Fielder states there was absolutely
no proof against his client and that APP
precating this fact, Detective Jones and
Mrs. Sprinz, the wife of the murdered
man, failed to appear at the trial He
does not think the matter will ever be
revived, so far as Fitzpatrick is concerned,
and that he is absolutely innocent Of the
crime.
II am convinced, though" said Col.
Fielder last night, 1.-THE prosecution is sim
ply trying TO dodge a preliminary hear
ing. Detective Jones claims Mrs Sprinz
was not given proper notice, when, as a
matter VI ldcNs am iOlus she was nOtlNe0
by wire on Tuesday TO be present at the
trial, and Jones stopped her in Macon
Wednesday night and left her al the
Brown house"
1t is alleged that Jones knew he could
not prove the charge he had urged against
Fitzpatrick, and simply took this means to
dodge the direct ISSUE The result seems
70 have given general satisfaction In Md
vile and surrounding country, for the peo-
PIE never did believe In Kllpatrick's guilt,
according to reports 1t Is said there were
only two people in Midwife who believed
him guilty-a practising physician and
brother-in-law OF the deceased.
The case never came to trial. therefore.
and consequently the chain Of clrcumstan-
tial evidence which the detective claimed
TO have woven around Knpatrick's neck
was not brought out.
The other citizen who Is now accused OF
the murder has not been "A resident OF
Midwife very long, and the people know
little about him. IL Is claimed he was seen
In the vicinity OF SPRINGS home on tho
night % the crime. and tho supposltlon Is
that II he Is guilty, his object was 10 OBJ

patrick. but which sprinz had stored away
In his home.
The blow must have been struck by a
left-handed man. Sprlnz was sitting In a
rocker facing the front door when the
murderer entered and grabbed him by the
throat. -Four finger prints were left on the
loft-hand side OF SPRINGS neck and the
scratch OF the thumb on the right II
would seem from this the murderer grabb-
ed his victim with bis right hand ana dealt
the blow with his left.
This accused man is left handed.
Moreover. from the nature OF the wound
the implement Of death must have been
something like n club or "a wagon single
tree The accused murderer. n ~ said. has
often been seen with this kind Of n club
These facts have directed suspicion To-
ward this individual, and an arrest Is not
improbable.
