SUNDAY GAMBLERS
HAVE A FIGHT
Knives and Rocks Used
and Blood Flows
ProfuseIy.

The city. marshals, Hawkins and
Parks, Deputy Sheriff Dewberry and
Constable Bishop were called to "Bap-
tisttown, a negro settlement, Sunday
afternoon to quell riot. When they
got there, at John Baldwin's house,
they found John Lollace cut badly on
the arm with knife, and Tom Little
john with long knife cash on the side
OF his head and his head loosened up
with rock. The two men were bleed
ing profusely, and Littlejohn needed
the attention of doctor to have his
wounds dressed. DR.. Nolan performed
this service for him. Lollace, Little
john, Baldwin and Gid Allen were ar
rested and brought to town and Iplaced
in "durance vile.",
Harvey Roberts and Harry Chapman
are also wanted but evaded arrest.
The negroes had been drinking and
gambling, it is alleged, and got
into difficulty, Lollace and Little
john antagonizing each other with in
| jury to themselves.
The four negroes were tried before
Judge McCleskey on Monday morning
and bound over to Cobb Superior Court
III 500 bond, failing to give which
they went back to jail.
Baptistown is getting hard name
for riotous conduct, blind tigers and
gambling. The good negroes of that
settlement had better take matters in
hand and help the officers get rid OF
characters that give their little settle
ment bad name.

Orders have been issued at the Navy De-
partment for the gunboat Isla de LuZon,

niral Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay
and has only recently completed the long
trip from Manila to the United States She
has done considerable active service in the
Philippines since her attachment to the
United States navy and is now badly in
need of extensive repairs.
II was originally intended that the Isla
de Luzon should form part of the naval
exhibit q I the ST. Louis exposition, but the
department has been obliged to abandon
that intention on account of the bad con-
dition Of the vessel. The change was also
made as matter Of comfy and courtesy
10 the Spanish government. Senior Ojeda,
the Spanish minister. has accepted an In
yitaton to take an active part in the ex-
position ceremonies.

DIR. MARCY CALLED
TO TESTIFY IN THE E. L. BURDICK
INQUEST.
He Was the First Physician to See
Remains Of the Murdered
Man.

BUFFALO. n. Y. March 1.-THE Inquest
into the cause of the death OF Edwin l..
Burdick was continued today In Justice
Murphy's court. District Attorney Coats
worth. before the investigation was begun.
declined to state what witnesses would be
heard. with the exception OF DR.. VIM. II.
Marcy the physician who was called to
the Burdick house by telephone on the
morning of the murder and who was the
first person to see the murdered man. He
was the one also who Deputy Medical Ex-
aminer j. d. Rowland said on the witness
stand had asked him to report the tragedy
as suicide. IL he could do so. The dts
trict attorney said that Mrs. Maria A. Hull.
the mother OF Mrs. Burdick. would not be
recalled today.
The Express prints an interview with a
person who at one time was n stakeholder
in the Buffalo Envelope Company and for
twelve years a close friend of Edwin l..
Burdick.
The interview. In part. is as follows:
L mad been acquainted with Mr.. Burdfck
for twelve years prior to his death. / came
in almost daily contact with him. and for
some time past had been more or less in his
confidence. First Of all, 1 want to say
something in defense of his character,
which has been unjustly maligned by state
ment and insinuation. Mr.. Burdick was a
gentleman in every sense of the word.
This talk about his intimacy with wo-
men 1 believe was wholly without founda-
ton.
Though knew in the early part of De-
cember that Mr.. Burdick had made a will
cutting off his wife, 1t was not until short
ly after Christmas that 1 learned anything
about the divorce proceedings. He then
told me of having begun a suit for divorce
In the early part Of November.
cannot help believing from all heard
from Mr.. Burdick that the motive for the
crime might have been desire to suppress
the scandal that would have been Incident
to the trial of the divorce suit.
Soon after Mr.. Burdick told me of his
having begun divorce proceedings he
showed me letter he had Just received
from New York Mr.. Burdick handed me
the letter and read every word of It.
In the letter the writer was trying hard
10 bring about reconciliation betty
Mr. Burdick and his wife. She pleaded
with Burdick to take Allie back The
writer also wrote in this letter something
that Burdick construed as a threat that
unless there was reconciliation there
would be double suicide. 1 cannot re-
member the exact words but they were
something like this: DO you want to put
an end to all our lives"
Mr.. Burdck pointed out that partfcular
means suicide. Well, let them 20 ahead
and do it 1t seems to me that this letter
ought to be found. What has become of
1t? Did he have it in his den at his house
and was 1t taken by the murderer when
rthing the drawer that was found open?
Another paper that should be found Is a
list Of twenty meeting places that Mr. Bur-
dick had secured for use in his divorce pro-
ceedings.
