PERRY ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Americas Negro to Face a Jury in
Pennsylvania.

Considerable interest is felt in
Americus in the trial of Charles Perry,
in Philadelphia, upon the charge of
murder, particularly as the fate of the
negro will probably be settled in a
few days now
The evidence against Perry is said
to be circumstaptlal, but strong.
His trial is fixed for some time dur
ing the current month, though it is
not known here just when the case
will be called. Probably one day
this week.
The murder of Lawyer White, the
arrest of Perry and two other friends
and the partial confession of one of
them, was told at length in the Times
Recorder when the crime was commit
ted months ago.
Perry is an Americas negro, hence
the interest in the trial of his case.
He fed this city at the time of the
Sheffield burglary, in which he was
implicated, going direct to Philadel-
phia and losing no time in getting in
to trouble
Since his arrest four or five months
ago Perry has been confined in Moya-
mensing prison. fifth floor up. His
lawyer, Allen R. Clark, is anxious to
have Perry's Americus friends attend
his trial there
And establish Perry's good charac-
ter" Ye gods, only think of it.
Should he escape the moose or q life
term for the murder of Prof. White,
Perry will be brought back to Amer
icus and tried for the wholesale burg
larry of the Sheffield and other stores.
The chances are that he will not
come back to Georgia very soon, if
ever.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC is DOUBLED
seaboard Needs More Engines to
Handle Business.

While many of the employees in the
railway shops in Americus arerequired
to work overtime during the rush in
cident to the busy season, the train
crews ''catch it" as we'll. The line TO
Savannah is often crowded with traf-
fic, and during the past week Master
Mechanic F. Fl. MCGEE has been in
Savannah strengthening out freight
blockade of several hundred cars there.
Engines arriving here from Savannah
are re-coaled and sent back the same
day. so great is the pressure upon roll
ling stock. Three additional engines
have just arrived here from Ports
mouth, and these will relieve the
strain to a great extent.
