yellow hair that covered his head. The
prisoner was John Tibbs who up to FRI

to me by him and my reply in June
last, and TO certain resolutions
passed by the board of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company as a result
of a consideration of this letter. l feel
that the inflamed condition of me public
mind in Kentucky renders it unwise to
add this correspondence as a subject of
controversy at a time when cool reason
would not be likely to deal with it, nor
do l feel quite prepared to give publicity
a. this time TO Col. Watterson's letter,
without his permission. I feel that 1
should say, however, that neither the cor
respondence in question, nor the course of

Atlanta, Feb. 5-John Ray, an engineer
on the Western and Atlantic Railroad a
part of the Louisville and Nashville sys-
TEN, was summoned before Commission
or Mark ]. McCord, to testify in the case
of Mrs. George W. Vaughan against that
company for the death of her husband,
brought in Catoosa Superior Court. Ray
was the engineer on the engine of which
the husband of Mrs. Vaughan was the
fireman at the time he was killed.
Ray ignored Commissioner McCords
subpoena upon the advice of the attor-
neys of the railroad McCord had him ar
rested and jailed for contempt of court
His attorneys then got out writ of ha-
beas corpus before Ordinary. Hulsey on
the ground that the attachment issued
by the commissioner was illegal, because
the commissioner should have reported
the matter of the contempt back to the
judge of the Catoosa Superior Court for
him to take action.
The habeas corpus was heard before
Judge Hulsey this morning at 10 O'Clock,
and was promptly dismissed, he holding
the commissioner had full authority to
subpoena the witness and attach him for
failing to appear on the subpoena. Ray
then appeared in the commissioner court,
but refused TO testify. He was again
jailed and this afternoon habeas corpus
proceedings We're instituted before judge
Reed of the City Court, and will be heard
tomorrow afternoon Ray giving bond in
the meanwhile.
Commissioner McCord will have Ray be-
fore him tomorrow again, and If he re-
fuses further to testify he will be jailed
again and continued to be imprisoned,
Commissioner McCord says, until he de-
cides to tell what he knows.

Gov Taylor then stated that the case
of the Election Board is different from that
of the Legislature. Continuing, he said
THE law specifically provides a room
for them in the State Building where they
shall hold their sessions. OF course, I
was declared elected by the former board,
50 the present board has nothing to do
with my case.
The courts enjoined the gentlemen ap-
pointed by me to fill the vacancies caused
by the resignation of Commissioners
Pryor and Ellis from taking their seats
on the board, and it is useless to submit
arguments to the present board, when at
least two members Of that board have al
ready committed themselves in regard to
the contests before them 1t is simply a
farce to bring the cases of the other state
officers before the board
The rule that no civilians should be all
lowed to enter the Capitol building. which
has prevailed since the Legislature was
compelled TO leave it one week ago, was
relaxed this afternoon in favor of the
State Board of Election Commissioners.
They were permitted to enter their office
in the Capitol for the purpose of attend
ing to some routine work relative to the
contests made by the Democratic candi-
dates for the minor places on the state
ticket They were kept waiting for an
hour at the south gate of the Capitol
grounds before they were admitted how
ever.
1t was 8 o'clock when Commissioners
Yontz and Fulton, with Clerk Chenault
and Attorneys Scott and Hendrick ap-
preached the gate and demanded that they
be allowed 10 enter the office of the com
missioners for the purpose of attending
10 the contest business The request was
refused the officer in charge at the gate
telling them to wait until he could see
Col. Williams. Col. Williams, it was re-
ported to the commissioners, could not be
found for a long time, but finally word
was brought to the commissioners that
they would be allowed to enter, provided
they would go to their office and attend
to their business there. The commission
ers replied that they desired to do that
very thing. and they were then admitted.
The lawyers were stopped at the gate.
The commissioners went to their office in
Inc building and remained only for a few
minutes, as they were unable to attend
to their work there without the assistance
of Inc attorneys.
After reaching the Capitol Hotel they
adjourned until 10 O'Clock in the morning.
No action was taken in any of the con-
tests to-day.
