But Introduction of Evidence IN Dill
lon Case not Concluded.
United states Commissioner Lewis con-
tinued yesterday afternoon the preliml-
nary investigation in the case of George
p. Dillon. the Sandersville lawyer, who
has been arrested upon a charge OF using
the mails to defraud. Dillon has acknowl-
edged obtaining books of various kinds
from publishers and booksellers without
the formauty OF paying for them and by
means of false names and worthless
checks.
The only witness examined yesterday
was Express Agent J. 1. Irwin, Of Ten
mile, who testified TO Dillon's calling at
mis- Office for a package of books address

aliases under which he has operated, rep

led directly to the arrest of Dillon.
The commissioner adjourned the hear
ing. at the conclusion of the evidence CIV
en- by the express agent, until this after
noon. when il will be resumed. Other wit
uesses are expected 70 make their APP
pearance by that time and il is rather be-
lseved that Dillon will feel inclined to am
p.ify the confession he has already made.

Company. which was on trial Thursday in
the City Court The jury which was try
ing the case returned a sealed verdict on
Thursday night which was opened when
court convened yesterday morning.
The verdict of the jury was in favor of
the defendant. Timberlake sued the COM
pAny for $500 damages for personal in
juries he claimed resulted from the care
less ness and negligence of the employees
Of the defendant. The plaintiff had fallen
from car at the corner Of East Broad
and Broughton streets and received two
or three rather severe geshes in the skull
as a consequence.
The defendants contention was that he
had been drinking and that the fall was
due to the effort he made to get off the
car while ii was in motion, jumping with
his face towards the rear platform. The
jury evidently came to the conclusion that
this was the truth about the matter, and

While there is a law against the use OF

huuely more dangerous. The boy who
does not own a sling shot either home

Der OF victims; the difference being that
the hoy who uses il IS only in danger
