STRONG EFFORT ID
 SAVE HOWARD
Collecting .'ffdavits on Which | 5aSe Motion For
 New Trial.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept 2S.-The attorneys for James Howard have not completed their motion for new trial, but some of the affivadits on which the motion is to be based have been filed. Most of them relate to alleged expressions of the jurors prior to the trial of the case, which, if proved, would affect their qualification as jurors. One by B. Gulffy, son of Judge Gulffy, of the Court of Appeals, is newly discovered evidence to the effect that few minutes after the shooting of Goebel he went into the executive building and saw man there who appeared to be in charge of the door and whom he de- scribed as a low, stout man with a slouch hat and short, dark mustache, carrying a .3S-calibre Winchester rifle. He says the man was not James Howard, and that Howard did not appear there while the affiant was in the building, several hours. These facts, he says, he never oommunicat- ed to anyone before now.
 Howard is indignant over the statement oI Robert Noakes that he told the latter that If they did not meet on earth again they would meet in - He says Noakes' statement is false. Howard ap- peared very much dejected today. The mo- tion for a new trial will be made at noon, and if overruled Howard will be sentenced today.
 At noon Commonwealth Attorney Frank lin asked until Saturday to file counter af- fidavits, and the motion for a new trial in the Howard case was continued until then

A GEORGIA DUEL
Two Prominent Young Men Meet Near
 Atlanta

Atlanta, Ga, September 2S. After a quarrel which has extended over two weeks, two young men of prominent fam lilies of East Point, a suburb of this city, met this evening and fought with pistols, One of the men, Sheffield Harrington, was shot in four places, and the other Walter Hudson, was wounded once. Both are be- lieved to be fatally hurt.
 It is asserted that Walter Hudson and another man fired at Harrington As re- suit of the meeting George Hudson is in Jail. The specific charge against him, however, is not made public. Four bullets struck Harrington, one entering the thigh from the back. Harrington tried time after time to fire a second shot, but each time the hammer of his revolver failed to ex- plode the cartridges. -.st
 Hudson, it is alleged, is in love with Har- rington's sister and there were reports that they were to be married. These reports were accepted as true for a time, but final- ly Hudson denied the truth of the rumor. A few days ago the young lady left for Waynesboro. Harrington, 1t is said stated at that time that if Huds "a did not go there ana Sarry his sister he would kill him.
 Matters stood thus, as far as reliable inc formation is obtained, until today.

AN ANGRY LOVERS
 TERRIBLE CRIME Slew His SWeetheart's Father in
 a Wheat Field FOR ADVISING DAUGHTER Lucius Baker Wooed, as a Stranger Miss Cotton Her Father Gounselled Prudence-Baker Under Death
 Sentence Brought Here

Lucius Baker, a young white man, was brought to Birmingham last night and placed in the Jefferson County jail for safe keeping. He was recently tried in Talla- poosa County on a charge of murder and sentenced to death. The sheriff of that county, fearing that the jail was unsafe, had the prisoner removed to Birmingham awaiting his execution, which is to occur about the first of December The young man, who is not more than p years of age, was in charge of Deputy Sheriff J. J. Clark of Dadeville Baker says that he will at tempt to have his case appealed.
 It seems that Baker was tried and con victed for the murder of an old man by the name of Cotton. It is said to have been a case of cold-blooded murder, and when Baker was first placed in jail mob violence was feared. As many criminals have escaped from the Tallapoosa County jail Sheriff Smith feared that the friends of young Baker might attempt to rescue him, and he was accordingly removed.
 Baker, up to the time of his crime, was comparatively a stranger to the people of Tallapoosa County. Some months ago he came to the home of MT. Cotton, the man who was murdered, and immediately began paying Miss Cotton considerable attention. The father, not knowing the young man, advised his daughter against associating with Baker until she knew more about him. Ii is stated that Baker in some way heard of this and went to see MT. Cotton. The old man readily told -f- '' he had given his daughter such advice, and that he had d perfect right to do Baker went away in bad spirits, but MT. Cotton paid no att tention to him and thought the affair was ended. According to the evidence on the fol- lowing day Cotton was at work in his wheat field when Baker walked up to him with gun and shot him dead.
 The people of the community were very much aroused over the murder, and for a time it was feared that Baker would not be given a fair trial.
