Atlanta. Sept. 9.-The mysterious
disappearance of Henry W. Grady of
this city, son Of the late editor of the
Constitution, at Norfolk, Va, last
Thursday night has caused great grief
and alarm to his relatives and friends
here, and hope has almost been given
up of finding him. kilograms reca;v-
ed by members of his family from his
brother-in-law, Eugene r. Black, to-
day state that no trace of the missing
man has been found. Still they nave
not given up all hope, and are trusting
in the theory that he may have taken
a trip on some boat and will be heard
from later. Accompanied by his wife
and son, he went from New York by
steamer to Norfolk early last weak.
He was suffering with hay fever and
said the trip did him much good.
Thursday night he disappeared from
the hotel at Virginia Beach, where he
was stopping with his wife and child.
and has not since been heard from.
The idea of foul play has been ad-
vanced. yet it is stated he had only
about $50 in his possession when he
reached Norfolk,
His domestic relations are known to
have been the happest, and it is diff
fieult to account for his disappearance,
except on the theory of temporary
alteration of mind.
The grief-stricken wife returned
home Monday morning, and Mr.. Black
went at once to Norfolk to continue
the search. so far without result,

of Police Vellines states it as his opin-
ion that Mr.. Grady is not in Norfolk,
but has gone to New York. Had he
been in Norfolk, the chief says he
would surely have been located by him.
Mr., Black has gone on to New York
to put the matter in the hands of the
Pinkerton detective agency.
Mr.. Grady was about 28 years of
age. While he was a young man of
strong principles and had his enemies,
he had many devoted friends.
Henry w. Grady has for several
years been a prominent figure in local
political circles. 1t was during the
spring of 1899 that he determined to
enter politics. after having moved al
most exclusively in the social circles
previous to that time. He announced
for Council from the Sixth ward and
was elected by a large majority.
Mr.. Grady took his seat as a mem
Der of Council on the first Monday of
January, 1900, in time to get into the
thick of the franchise fight, which was
then at its hight. He took an active
part in this fight.
In Council he was always firm in
his convictions and would go with the
losing side, would take the unpopular
side of any question if his opinions
were on that side.
He was the author of number of
well-known ordinances and resolutions
that are still talked about in city poll
tics. After the expiration of his term
of office Mr.. Grady resumed his work
as a newspaper man, being connected
with the Atlanta Constitution.

EVIDENCE IS CLOSED
Argument in Aston VS.. h d
G. Railroad Tomorrow
Examination Of Witnesses Occupied the Entire
Day Yesterday. Evidence Was Very
Contradictory.

The entire session of court yesterday
in the case of Haywood Aston, the col
ored brakeman, against the Raleigh and
CASTOR Railroad for $4,000 damages. AL
ston claims that on May 4th, 1901, he
was severely injured by being crushed
between two coal cars at Kittrell by
what he says was the careless backing
of the locomotive by the engineer while
he was engaged in coupling cars.
Mr.. Dan Hicks, the engineer, testified
that he followed all the customs and
rules required of an engineer in such
cases, and that the injury to Aston was
purely accidental.
Other witnesses examined were Mr..
Carr, a mechanic employed by the road,
Engineer Pendleton, of the Seaboard Air
Line, and Mr.. Heilig. These witnesses
gave expert testimony as to the methods
of coupling and uncouplng and turning
off and on the air current in the air
brakes.
Captain Rucker, conductor of the train,
was also examined.
Lige Lee, the colored fireman with
Mr.. Hicks, and Toyce Hicks, the flagman,
gave testimony as to the condition of Al
ston when they went back and took him
from between the cars. They said thai
as soon as the cars were drawn apart,
the victim fell between the tracks. He
was then unconscious. When he came to
himself he coughed and spit blood, and
altogether looked as if he was hurt quite
badly. He either got into9 the locomo-
tive himself or was put in, they were not
very sure, and was carried as far as the
switch
Dr. Jas. r. Rogers, surgeon for the
railroad, testified that when he saw AL
ston his heart and lungs appeared I'M
injured and that he seemed to he suf-
fering more from nervous shock than any
thing else.
Mr.. Moses n. Amis testified that Hay
wood Aston had come to him to consult
about the case professionally Aston,
he said. had stated that while he was
confined to his home Mr.. Dan Kicks, the
engineer, had called and had length
conversation with him, in the course of
which Mr.. Hicks had told him that II
he were to tell the railroad authorities
that the accident was caused by any
negligence of his (Mr. HicksO, it would
cause him to lose his position.
Mr.. Dan Hicks had earlier in the day
denied that he had had any such con-

If the story brought back from Hawaii by United
