DETECTIVES INDICTED.
TWO BILLS Returned Charging Them With

TWO BILLS Returned Charging Them With
Ofense Of "Embracery."
Detectives David S. Looney and
William A. Bradley were indicted by
the Fulton county grand jury at At
lanta Friday for embracery.
The Indictment of the two men Is
the result of the sensational develop
ments arising from their alleged at
tempt to see if members Of the Allan
ia bar would use improper means to
obtain verdict from jury.
Judge J. H. Lumpkin has placed
the bond in each case at SO, 900.
In the indictment Looney and
Bradley are charged with attempting
to influence Juror Penn in the Matte
Adams will case. Penn is now serv-
ing a sentence of twenty days in tho
Tower for contempt of court. having
left the city in order to keep from ap-
pearing in court.
Penn was taken from the Tower
to the court house Friday morning,
where he appeared before the grand
jury. He was in the grand jury room
but short time, but he repeated the
charges against the dete' tives that
he made in the superior court before
Judge Lumpkin. He denied that he
had gone to Bradley and offered to sell
out, as Bradley claimed, but insisted
tnat he had never agreed to accept
money. Penn declared that he was
approached first by Bradley aud later
by Looney.
Attorney r. J. Jordan was also a
witness before the grand jury. He
testified that Looney had approached
him in regard to the will case and

MURDERED HIS WIFE.
Bloody Tragedy Resulted From q separa-
tion and q Quarrel.

Bloody Tragedy Resulted From separa-
tion and Quarrel.
At Atlanta, Ga., Friday night James
L. Baker showed pistol into his wife's
face and fred four shots. With groan
the woman fell to the floor, the blood
cushing from two wounds in her head
from which she died few hours later.
Mrs. Baker had separated from her
husband week before. and had gone
to live with Mrs. Martha j. Payne, at
whose house the tragedy took place.
The inmates of the house were at
supper when Baker walked into the
dining room, and with the remark,
"You have turned the old dog out,
have you?" shot strsight in his wife's
face. There was so little said, and the
shooting was all done so quickly, that
it was some moments before it was
realized what had happened.
TIE affair has some very highly
sensational and dramatic features.
Baker claims, first of all, that his wife
and himself disagreed on account OF
her son by former husband, and he
also claims that he shot his wife be-
cause of Charles A. Pittman, q young
carpenter, who is son.in-law OF Mrs.
Payne. He first admitted shooting at
his wife, but later in the evening he
changed that statement and said he
shot at Pittman and, missing him, hit
his wife accidentally.
Pittman and all the other inmates OF
the house state that Baker shot point
blank at his wife, after addressing o
remark to her.
The wounded woman said her hus-
band shot her because she refused to
live longer with him.
Baker is meat cutter by trade. He
is said to be addicted to drink. and
was under the influence OF whisky
when the shooting occurred.
Pittman was arrested at the same
time with Baker, and the charge
against him was booked as "suspl-
cion." Baker was charged with as
sault with intent to murder.

Says He Has No Unkindness Fol Senate r
Morgan and Will Continue In the
Go Old Way.

A Birmingham, Ala, dispatch says:
Governor Johnston, who met his po-
litical Waterloo in Saturdays prima-
ries in his race for the United States
senate against John T. Morgan, gives
out the following statement:
'sIt is manifest that the Democracy
of the state has declared for the re-
election of Senator Morgan. am a
Democrat in victory or defeat. and
shall acqaiesce in that result, as have
always done, without murmur.
'I know there were a very large
number of gentlemen who were my
personal friends, aud would have beer
glad to support me, but felt that they
could not turn their backs on senator
who was 80 illustrious.
81 am glad that can look back In
the canvass with the consciousness
that I have INDUCED in no filth or mis-
representations, and that today have
no unkindness in my heart for the
distinguished gentleman who has won.
II am deeply grateful to the friends
who have so literally supported me IL
this contest. hope that l shall live
long enough to show every one OF
them that my gratitude will only
cease when I shall cross over the river
and rest in the shade
II congratulate myself that in the
contest with one so distinguished and
beloved as Senator Morgan I hive
polled nearly 40 per cent of the vote
in the primary and that a change OF
less than 10000 votes would have Civ
en- me majority in the Legislature.
"rhe reforms secured during my
administration have aroused no little
resentment, but hope that when she
passions of the hour pass away the
people will see that these reforms will
be of lasting benefit to them and that
in the end oil will come to acknowl-
edge that the good of the people and
the glory of the commonwealth has
been nearest my heart.
Il had hoped that if elected to'the
senate I could be of substantial service
to may people, among whom I have
lived 70 long, and with whom I have
shared all the perils of war and strug-
giles of peace.
81 have done something, hope, to
reunite our people, and to compose
the differences that so sharply divided
them, and I shall continue to strug
gle to accomplish that end, whether as
a public official or a private citizen.

build up our state, develop it's re-
sources. improve its educational facili-
ties and to give the people the bless
ing of a just, impartial and economical

PENN GETS SHORT SENTENCE.
Attorney Rodgers Makes Plea For Here!
In His Clients Behalf.

Attorney Rodgers Makes Plea For Mercy
In His Clients Behalf.
Juror J. T. Penn was at Atlanta
Thursday morning sentenced by Judge
J. H. Lumpkin to twenty days in the
Tower for contempt. Penn virtually
admitted his guilt, and his defense
was in the nature of plea for mercy.
The most sensational development
of the trial was the testimony of Judge
Robert L. Rodgers, Penn's attorney,
that Detective ". A. Bradley had Of
fered him money to advise his client
to corroborate Bradley's statement.
The statement of Penn contradicted
the accounts Looney and Bradley had
given of the affair IN many important
particulars.
Judge Rogers read the answer OF
Penn to the contempt proceedings, ad-
mitting the juror had wrongfully ab-
sented himself from the court, but
claiming he had no thought of showing
disrespect.
At the conclusion of the evidence
Solicitor Hill said he did not care to
make speech, as the Juror had virtu-
ally pleaded guilty.
Judge Rodgers made brief speech,
in which he asked the court to deal
mercifully with his client.
Judge Lumpkin then pronounced
sentence, giving Penn twenty days in
Jail. He said that he might later have
Penn examined by physicians to see
if his condition would require other
treatment.
The Judge said that it was the duty
of the court to protect itself and to
vindicate it's process. The juror had
admitted that he had violated the in
structions which had been given him
by allowing people to talk to him
about the case, and also by failing to
report for duty Monday.
Judge Rodgers stated that there
would be no appeal from Judge Lump
kin's decision.

CANAL BILL SIDETRACKED.

Motion By Senator Morgan to Take 1t
Up Defeated In Senate.
In the senate Thursday Senator
Morgan made motion'to take up the
Nicaragua canal bill.
The motion was defeated by strict
party vote, with the exception of Sem
ator Foster, of Washington. Senator
Simon, of Oregon, lodged, but with
these exceptions the vote was on party
lines.
Senator Morgan, who has been
watching closely for an opportunity to
bring up the bill, first asked unani-
nous consent that day be set for a
vote on the measure, but this was de-
MED because of objection by Mr..
Lodge, who said the Philippines bill
must come up first. Later Senator
Morgan found an opportunity to make
a formal motion for its consideration,
the result of which was temporary de-
feat.

occupied by women and children only.

He Is Hopeful Of Haul Of Beers When
It Is Drawn In.
A London special says: Lord Rob-
erts has spread his net far and wide to
catch the adventurous commanders
that have been making mischief III the
southeastern part of the State. The
net has not yet been drawn in; but, at
the headquarters of Lord Roberts, the
impression exists that the power OF
the Beers is decreasing.
A Daily News correspondent has
them fleeing to tue southeast; Stan
dard correspondent reports them flee
ing northward; a Daily Telegraph
correspondent says that some are 60
ing north and others south, while a
Morning Post representative says it is
not known what the Beers are doing.
Evidently the feeling at Bloemfon.
tein is that the dispositions of Lord
Rober is are such as to enable him to
concentrate a large force rapidly at
any point. The Beers, being aware of
this, are presumed to be thinking now
chiefly Of retreat.
