the Soldiers Home, known as the lieu
tenant commanding at the home has
been indicted by the Fulton county
grand jury on the charge of assault
with intent to murder one of the in
mates, j. II. Brown. who subsequently
died on April is last.
j. c. Aubrey, another inmate of the
home, preferred the charges and took
the matter before the grand jury. Au-
brey claims Miller attacked Brown
with heavy stick, INJECTING wounds
which caused his death, and he also
claims no physician attended Brown,
and that no report on his death was
made.
Brown was a feeble old man So years
old. Aubrey says there are blood
stains on the walls of the room in
which the assault took place. He says
he investigated the affair and found
that the quarrel arose over Browns
refusal TO carry in coal from a wagon.
claiming he was too weak to do the
work. Another inmate of the home,
Aubrey says, interferred in time to
prevent Brown from being beaten to
death on the spot, but he died short
time thereafter.
Miller is practically in charge of the
home during the illness of Superintend-
ent James Wilson. He has not been
arrested. He denies the charge in toto.
He admits having had some trouble
with Brown, during which he struck
him once, but asserts this was in Feb
ruary. whereas Brown did not die until
the middle of April. The two circum-
stances, he states, could have no pos
Sible connection

Waycross, Ca, Sept. 4.-The whole
southern part of Waycross was dis
turbed last night by hundred or more
revolver shots. which were fired into

could load and fire their revolvers.
No one was injured in the house, but
the doors and windows were damaged
to some extent. The police secured
hounds and went to the scene of the
shooting. but as the parties seemed
to have been in a buggy. the dogs
could not strike any trail.
There have been a number of arrests
for shooting in this neighborhood dur
ing the past few weeks. and some OF
the offenders have been heavily fined
by Mayor Youmans. The women have
also been having a great deal OF trou-
bic among themselves.
