SeIf-Defence.

ALEXANDRIA, Aug. S.-In The after
math of the shooting affray here Thurs
day night. in which Robert Posey was
killed and his brother fatally wounded by

out that the brothers Posey have had
grudge against the officer, and on This
ground 1t is thought that the attnck on
Atkinson. which preceded the tragedy,
was something more than meIe attempt
to resist arrest. A short time aSD Atkin-
son arrested one of the brot' ers at the
fair grounds here and his -soIble with
them dates from that time.
Walter Posey is still alive, but in pre-
carious condition, from which he is not
expected to recover. The coroner's jury
jury exonerated Atkinson from all blame
in the matter. A second Investigation was
made this afternoon by George l.. Simp-
son, mayor He examined about twenty
witnesses and at the conclusion of the
hearing gave judgment that officer Atkin-
son had properly discharged his duty and
should not be kept in custody.

the Candidacy Of Brysn-The Third
Party Movement,

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE
liberty congress Of the American
League of Anti-In1,crinlists yesterday
emphatically indorsed the candidacy
OF william !. Bryan for president.
The resolutions To that effect we're
read To the convention by Col. Charles
II. Goldman, Of Massachusetts,, who
moved their adoption. after stating
that the entire committee Of 25 bnd
indorsed them. The convention, how
ever, did not adopt the platform MS
submitted by the resolutions commit
tee without prolonged and heated
debate. Thomas VI. Osborne, OF Au-
burn, n. u. leader of the third
ticket movement. offered an amend
mcnt to strike out the indorse-
mcnt Of Bryan and his amend
ment was vigorously supported by
several delegates. but when the pre-
vious question was ordered less than
o score could he nnrshallcd to vote
against the I,ryan Endorsement. The
vote wns viva yoce and it's exact re-
suit will never bc known: but the
sentiment of the convention was
clearly shown ms being in favor Of the
Endorsement of Bryan ~ the most
effective manner Of checking the al
legged impcrialis'ic policy Of the adj
minist ration.
The most vigorous opponents OF
the Bryan pronouncement In the
platform were conspicuous members
IS the "national'' or third ticket con-
vcntion. who were also admitted ns
delegates ia the anti-impcrinlistic
congress. They were ably led by
Thomas VI. Osborne and advocated the
nomination Of third ticket ON the
theory that their followers. while OPP
posed to President Mckinley, were
not prepared TO accept Mr.. Bryan on
the Kansas City platform.
| Col. Charles u. Goldman and Edwin
Burritt Smith were the chic! oppo-
nents of the platform ms reported.
claiming that all political questions
were now subordinate 10 the one
question Of Imperialism. and that all
opponents to the present administra.
tion should unite Ia overthrow IL in
tHf TUpNt
ncr presented.
| Every mention of Mr.. Brynn's name
In the convention called forth cnthu.
sinstic applause.
After the adoption of the rcsolu.
tions indorsing Bryan the represent.
atiycs Of the third party movement
met in the assembly room Of the Com
mcrcial club and selected Thomas VI.
Osborne, of Auburn. y. y, for per.
manent chairman, and Everett v.
Abbott. of New York. for per-
innncnt secretary. \ motion was
made and carried that n convention
he held in New York city September
for the purpose OF nominating a

The leaders Of the movement said
last night that they expected large
representation nj their convention in
New York ON September 3 and that
candidntes for president aud vice
president would then surely be nomi
mated.
