Griffin, Ga. Feb. 13.-R. l.. Moody,
a young man from Atlanta, attempted
to kill himself in Spalding county Jail
this afternoon about 4 o'clock. He tied

by another inmate of the Jail. DR.. An
thony was summoned and after hard
work. brought Moody around, and is of
the opinion that he will recover. Moody
was arrested several months ago for
forging checks. but was tried for luna
cy and ordered sent to the asylum.
His mother came down from Atlanta
and prevailed upon the officers to turn

him until his mental condition inn
proved. About three weeks since Moody

HE ASKED FOR A KISS;
SHE SPAT IN HIS FACE.

Then Wronged Young Man Started
800.
Because his sweetheart refused to
kiss him, but spat in his face and left
him, a we'll known young man of Sa-
vannah. who lost his temper and pro-
ceeded to slash up all of the furniture
and pictures, to cut his girls clothes
to tatters and other effects, and to an
initiate all Of the ornaments in her
room, was fined 800 by Judge Nor
wood in City Court yesterday morn
ing.
The young man pleaded guilty to the
accusation of malicious mischief which
his former fame had sworn out
against him, but in an effort to pre-
sent a few mitigating circumstances,
the whole affair leaked out. He ac-
knowledged that her conduct toward
him had enraged him so that he de-
cided to mutilate her belongings. The
young woman appeared in court, and
swore that in pouring out the walls OF
his wrath, her Lothario had ruined
just $500 worth of property.
The aftermath of the trial in the
City Court came when the young man
betook himself to a magistrates office
and had a warrant sworn out against
the girl for selling liquor without a
license. and doing other things not
countenanced by the code and good
society. When the case comes up
again, there will probably be some in
teresting details aired in the courts.

Frightened and Fired Gun.

the lower part of the county. Last

tin pans. horns and other noise MAX
ing implements. They enjoyed the
lark, and after leaving their victims,
decided to serenade another family.
As they approached the home of a
negro, Louis Hood, he thought it was
a mob, and either from a guilty con-
science, or personal fear got the idea
II meant bodily harm for him. With
out waiting to warn. or care for, his
family he sneaked out of a door on
the opposite side of the house and fed
10 the woods
The noisy serenaders came on to the
house, and when their songs brought
no response from within, they began
noisily beating on the door, and side
of the house, and calling the name of
their negro friend, making threats of
burning the house, etc. They finally
walked the children in the house who
began crying. Then the mother awoke.
Seeing that her husband was gone,
and ratified by the crying of the chill
dren, and the noise outside, she
spranE out of bed, seized her baby in
enc arm. and gun in the other hand.
Pointing the gun through a crack in
the window, she fired, and a young ne
gro. Arthur Began, about is years old,
was killed. The coroner's jury. after
hearing the testimony, rendered a
verdict. declaring it justifable homi-

Mr.. Hepburn ought to refer to
