was afforded by reading these aloud.
One bag was long and narrow; the
recipient was tall and slender; the
color was that OF his college.
Another bag was the favorite color
OF the one for whom II was filled; its
shape was very wide and stout. The
owner Of this bag received the BOBBY

He explained that he had not been

spite Of his fondness for the color, as
he feared to be thought greedy.
The prize was ridiculous tin toy;

Murder of Mrs. Pottle.
he ENTERS A PLEA OF NOT GUILTY.
Trial Attracts = Large Crowd to Couvt-
room Many witnesses Arc
Called to Testify.

The trial of Allen Fuller, the negro
charged with the murder Of Mre. Pot
tie, was commenced Thursday morn
ing in the superior court at Macon,
Ga, before Judge W. a. FELTON,.
The court room was crowded to the
doors when the case was called. Fuller
was brought into court carefully
guarded by the sheriff and his depa-
ties, and took his seat beside Messrs.
Washington Dessau and Claude Estes,
who have been appointed by the court
to defend him.
Fuller showed no especial uneasi-
ness during tho proceedings.
The principal witness against Fuller
was the negro Redd, who is charged by
Fuller with the crime.
The state, represented by Solicitor
General Hodges, assisted by Messrs.
Hardeman, Davis and Turner, who
have been retained for the prosecution,
announced ready at 900. A technical
omission in the bill Of indictment was
waived by the defense, which also an
nounced ready.
Thirty witnesses were called for the
prosecution and four for the defense.
The utmost strictness was observed in
the court room.
No outsiders were allowed inside
the bar, the usual courtesy being de-
MED even 10 the newspapers.
To the arraignment Fuller pleaded
not guilty in firm, clear voice with q
rising infection that had somewhat
unlocked for effect. The calling Of
the jury began at 10 O'Clock. The de-
Tense was very deliberate and the
work Of securing the jury slow and to-
dious. 49,
The fret witness called WIS Fl. d.
Dodd, who was perhaps more intimate
~ acquainted with the dead woman
than any one else. He was on the
stand for two hours, and was closely
questioned as to all the details Of the
case. He identified the body and told
of the finding of it. He went carefully
over all the details OF the search, the
finding OF the grave in the field below
Small's ginhouse, and all the sus-
picious circumstances surrounding II.
Mr.. Dodd was closely question: ed
and cross-qu estioned. He identified
the scissors found on Fuller when he
was arrested as being the property Of
Mrs. Pottle. He also identified the
satchel found in Fuller's house as the
property OF the dead woman.
Nothing, however, was brought ont
by this testimony that has not al-
ready developed in the case, or been
told in the newspapers.
Dalton Lucas who had been with
Fuller on the day after the killing,
and on tho following Sunday was au
important witness called. Della Luz
cas-, wife OF Dalton, testified that Full
Ter had brought two satchels TO her
house when he moved his things. She
identified the satchel when shown her.
She was not cross examined by the
attorneys for the defense.
The testimony OF Lucas and his
wife in regard to the satchel was re-
garded as the most important test!
