TO SUPERIOR Court for Assault with
Intent 10 Mu-der-Dr. Lincoln Gave

The Peace-Police Court Session
Furnished Interesting Incidents.
The case of DR. V. II. Taliaferro, chars-
ed with assaulting with intent to murder
Dr. T. P. Waring. was called by Recorder
Hartridge in the Police Court yesterday
morning. J. Ferris Cam, Esq counsel for
Taliaferro, announced that he would waive
a preliminary hearing and would consent
10 being turned over 10 the Superior
Court.
Then occurred the sensational feature
of the hearing w. r. Leaken, Esq.
announced that he represented Mr..
Charles F. Graham, and that his
client wished to withdraw from DR..
Taliaferro's bond. Had the incident oc-
CURED during the court martial at Rennes,
when the unfortunate Dreyfus was being
tried for treason, the correspondents would
have labeled it "(Sensaton)." As it was
the freauenters Of the court room were
somewhat excited.
Recorder Hartridge was unkind enough
to throw a pan of cold water upon the
excitement in extremely calm, unexcited
and eouable tones he announced that IL
was unnecessary for Mr.. Leaken to have
made his statement, as the requirements
of the bond had already been complied
with, the defendant having appeared in
court, and there was nothing more to be
done Mr. Leaken Immediately put him
self right by saying to the court that he
understood there was to be a further con-
tlnuance.
Then Mr. Cam arose He announced
that a grave injustice had been done his
client, and mat Mr.. Leaken had indeed
made q mistake when he said that Mr..
Graham wished to withdraw from Dr..
Taliaferro's bond. Such action he called
unnecessary and gratuitous. DR.. Tala-
ferro had never had any intention of leav-
ing the city, he said, and was willing 10
stand trial upon the charge that had been
brought against him DR.. Taliaferro, the
MAJOR ELdtGu, GdIlG VI Il LlEIilG AGGl}SGtSNA
family.
This concluded the hearing. The an
nounced willingness Of DR.. Taliaferro, to
dispense with the formality Of a prelim-
mary hearing, had made it unnecessary,
and he was turned over to the Superior
Court for assault with intent to murder.
Mr.. Leaken asked that for the protection
of his client the bond be brought into court
and destroyed. The bond was brought
I'm by Clerk Masters and destroyed In the
presence of the Recorder and the attorney
for Mr.. Graham. DR.. Taliaferro was de-
tained at the police station house.
In the Superior Court Or. Frank T..
Lincoln had been summoned upon war
rant to keep the peace towards all citi-
zens of the commonwealth In general, and
DR.. Waring in particular. deputy sher-
if had gone down to Dr. Lincolns resi-
dence, and the doctor had agreed to be
present at the appointed time The APP
pointed time was 10 o'clock, but it was
nearer II when DR.. Lincoln appeared before
Judge Falligant and announced that he
had come in answer to the peace warrant
that had been issued.
The conference between DR.. Lincoln and
Judge Fallgant took place in the latter 5
private office Il is stated that the doc
tor asked that his bond be fixed at a rea-
sonable figure promising. in case this was
done, to do nothing to renew the difficulty.
DR. Lincoln stated to Judge Falligant il
is said, that should he be given his lib
erty upon the proffer and acceptance of a
reasonable bond, he would agree that any
aggressive action in the difficulty pending
between him and Or. Waring should come
from the other side. 1t was upon such
considerations that Judge Falhgant agreed
TO accept bond in the sum of Sl000, which
was furnished, with Mr. r. f. Harmon as
surety. This done, Dr. Lincoln was an
lowed his liberty.
In the meantime DR.. Taliafetro was con
fined at the station house. This courtesy
had been allowed him, in lieu of his belns
remanded to jail, at the special request o
his counsel Mai. Cam had stated tha
bondsman would arrive from Atlanta
during the day, and that he would tak'
his client away from the station house i'm
mediately
To witness the consummation OF this
promise the police waited patiently al
day At midnight no bondsman had ap
peared upon the scene.
Superintendent Screven said he ha,
permitted DR.. Taliaferro to stay at th'
station house at the request of Ms coun
sci. but unless bond is furnished thi
morning he Will have him taken TO III
jail. There have been no developments il
the various difficulties that had been ex
pected to occur. The peace warrant tina
had been sworn out against DR. Lincol
before Magistrate Naughtin was droppe
at the instance of Judge Falligant.
