LAW OPERATED TO
INJURY OF ACCUSED.
Strained Relations between Parties
Litigant Precipitnted Ugly Scene.

Strained Relations between Parties
Litigant Precipitnted Ugly Scene.
A case in which the restrictions of
the law worked a hardship on the ac-
cused was tried in the Superior Court
yesterday. f. B. Cole prosecuted E. M.
Bailey for cutting certain timber from
his lands without his permission, the
offense charged being a misdemeanor.
Bailey claimed that he cut the tim
Der in pursuance to a verbal agreement
which he had with the prosecutor. In
substantiation of this claim he desired
to introduce evidence, but this the
court would not allow, since, under the
accused entered the premises under
written agreement. The accused claim
ed that he would be able by the evil
dence to prove absence of criminal
intent.
The only way in which this fact
could be brought to the attention of
the jury was by the statement OF the
defendant, not under oath. The de-
PENDANT was somewhat put out at the
turn things had taken, as was also his
attorney, who declined at one time to
cross-questiOn the witnesses, on the
ground that he had been deprived of
his rights.
The elimination of the strained re-
latiOn of affairs came when the pros
ecutor was placed on the stand to re-
but the statement of the defendant
after hearing all this harangue from
Mr.. Bailey, are you afraid to state to
the jury, in your place, that he has
lied?" asked the prosecuting attorney
mo, I'm not afraid" came the quick
response and before the witness had
chance to speak further, the defendant,
who is a white-haired man of some 40
years, was upon his feet. His face was
white with anger and his fists were
clenched.
But the ugly situation was solved by
the court, who commanded order, tell
ing the parties litigant that his court
room was no bull ring, and that he
proposed that there should be no fur
Their conversation of that character.
The jury found Bailey guilty, and the
court imposed a fine of so and costs
The costs amounted to $3.50 Both
were promptly paid. There are several
other similar cases against Bailey yet
to be disposed of.

LAND co. WILL
CHANGE UPSET PRICES.
Merchants a Mechanics Land Co.
Did Not Dispose of Holdings.

Merchants a Mechanics Land Co.
Did Not Dispose of Holdings.
The Merchants and Mechanics Land
Company sales, which were held at the
office of C. H. Dorset yesterday morn
ing, were anything but success. The
number of bidders present was small,
and the number of sales smaller.
1t was determined after the sale not
to hold any more sales until there has
been a revision of the present upset
prices. which were fixed by a commit
tee of the stockholders. These prices
seemed too high, and none of the bid
ders were willing to buy.
The only piece of property sold was
Lot No. q, adjoining Doyles race
track, which was knocked down 10
John L. Archer at the upset price of
800. The offerings were numerous, all
being in the neighborhood of the race
track and on Dale and Bonaventure
avenues.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
TO CHANGE SCHEDULES.
Two Trains on Northern Part of Sys-
tenn Discontinued.

Two Trains on Northern Part of Sys-
tenn Discontinued.
The Central of Georgia has announced
a number of important changes to be
made in the schedule of some of the
trains between Savannah and Atlanta,
and the discontinuance of two trains
on other parts of the system. The
changes will become effective Sunday,
June 2S.
Train No. l now leaving Savannah at
o'clock a. m. will. after the 2Sth,
leave at S:45. win reach Atlanta at
7:45, and Augusta at lis. For the
convenience of Savannahians having
summer homes at Clarkesville. Tur-
nersville and Gainesville the Central
and the Southern have arranged
schedule so that passengers may leave
the points named in the afternoon,
and reach Atlanta at $40 O'clock, thus
making connection with the train foI
Savannah bearing through sleeper,
which will leave Atlanta at 800 O'Clock
instead of at 8 O'Clock as heretofore.
This connection has never been made
before, and will therefore prove
great convenience to the travelling
public.
The trains to be discontinued are, one
between Macon and Atlanta, which left
Macon at 1:30 O'Clock p. m. and ar
rived at Atlanta at AIS; and one be-
tween Athens and Macon. Train No.
4 win arrive at Savannah, as in the
past at a. M, while No. will be
ten minutes later, arriving at 6:1O p.
m, instead of at 6. as at present.
Savannah's chief interest in the
changes is where No. l is affected. This
train has been popular with the travel
ing public, especially commercial men.
and they will hardly find the new
schedule so convenient as the old.
President John M. Egan of the Cen
trail was asked why the service be-
tween Macon and Atlanta and between
Macon and Athens had been curtailed.
SO as to give the other trains a chance
to make some money" he said.
