Provisions are scarce. Only timed
meats being left, the soldiers hold gala

COMMISSION WILL
MAKE AN APPEAL
TO INTER STATE COMMISSION
IN THE NATTER OF ATLANTA's
COMPLAINT ON FREIGHT RATES.

Attorney General Hart Has been
Apprised OF the Intention of the
state Railroad Commission to APP
peal and Is TO Prepare Its Petition
as Early as POssibIe-AnOther
PostpOnement i'm the Hearing BE-
fore Judge Newman.
Atlanta, Oct. 2S.--The State Railroad
Commission to-day formally determin-
ed to appeal to the Interstate Com
merce Commission In the matter of
unjust determinations against Atlanta
in the matter of interstate rates, Mo-
torney General John c. Hart. who was
asked to present to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for its action all the
papers presented by the Atlanta
Freight Bureau relating to discrimina-
tions in interstate rates. In its order
issued to-day the commission revokes
certain portions of it's order of July l6
and Sept. 15, in which it stated that
unless the railroad granted the relief
asked in the matter of interstate rates
it would proceed to revise rates within
the state.
The railroad construed this as
threat on the part of the commission
to get revenge by cutting down rates
inside the state, which the commission
states was never intended. These por-
tions of the orders referred to We're
revoked for the purpose of doing away
with ground for any such complaint.
Judge Hart will prepare the case for
the Interstate Commerce Commission
early next week and will present it
before that body as early as possible.
Hearing Again Postponed.
Again has the hearing of the injunc-
ton suits brought by the railroads
to prevent the enforcement of the re-
duced rates contained In circulars 30I
and SO2 of the Georgia Railroad Com
mission been postponed by Judge w.
I. Newman, this. time until Monday
Nov. 2S. The reason for the postpone
ment was that the railroads had just
filed large number of new bills, as
well as amendments to former bills,
and 1t was a matter of physical inn
possibility for the states attorneys to
go over this mass Of matter in time
to be ready for the hearing to-day.
Attorney General Hart and Hon.
Hoke Smith stated they were ready to
argue the petition for dismissal of
these suits on the ground of lack of
jurisdiction on the part of the United
States court, but Judge Newman held
that the main question was the vail
dity of the injunction itself.
Judge Newman also declined to mod
ify the original restraining order so
as to make it apply alone to the Cen
trail of Georgia Railroad. Col. Ed.

PREDICT MISTRIAL
OR AN ACQUITTAL
IN TRIAL OF THE ALTMANS
NEGRO WITNESSES SEEMED SOME
WHAT CONFUSED.

Testimony of the White Witnesses
Failed TO Establish which of the
AItmans Was the Slayer of Jack
son Duncan-Defense Will Hold
That n Negro Named Rory May
Have Killed Duncan-Features OF
the Trial.
Waycross, Ca, Oct. 29.-All the testi-
mony in the trial of Hillary and
Charley Altman was in before the ad-
journment of Charlton Superior Court
at Folkston this afternoon, and to-mor-
row will be taken up in the hearing
of the arguments. Each side has been
granted three hours for argument by
Judge Parker, and it is figured that
the case will go to the jury about A
o'clock in the afternoon.
There was no trouble in securing the
twelfth juror this morning. Sheriff
Mattox had twenty-three talismen
upon the opening of court. and the
Z second man examined was accepted.
The opinion is expressed tonight
that the Altmans will either be acquit-
ted of the murder of Jackson Duncan
or there will be a mistriaI. This belief
is based on the idea that the jury will
not believe the entire testimony of
the negro witnesses for the state Some
of them were a little confused in their
testimony, but two were positive in
their statement that Hillary Altman
killed Jackson Duncan and Charley
Altman killed the negro. Jim Reilly.
The killing was committed in the
doorway of the smoking compartment
of the negro coach. There were sew
eral white witnesses to the row, but
none could say who committed the
murder.
w. NJ. Duncan. father of the muir
dered man, testified that his son in
formed him just before he died that
Hillary Altman had killed him. An
other witness stated that the dying
man had stated that Altman killed
me-"
Other white witnesses who were
present testified that they were present
at the time of jackson Duncan's death,
and they believed him to be uncon-
scious. and did not hear him speak
Some of the testimony was to the
effect that negro named Andrew
Rory was in the aisle on the negro
coach, just three minutes before the
killing of Duncan, and that he was
brandishiDg a knife and making
threats.
The defense will be that Duncan
might have been killed by Rory.

GREAT RELIEF FELT

There was feeling Of profound relief
tonight In higher government spheres

incident has happily been avoided by
a decision to submit the issue TO a

Home a Perfect He'll.
Edgar Crawford, a brother of Mrs.
NcCue, testified that he had heard
Willie McCue say that his home had
been "a perfect hell and that his
father and mother lived like dogs
and CATS
Ernest Crawford, another brother
of Mrs. McCue, said he lived at the
McCue home during 1899 and 1901, and
that he had heard numerous quar-
rels, and that it was the most I'M
pleasant household he ever had lived
in. The trouble, he said, seemed to be
about women. He said the accused
never struck or Knocked his wife, but
that he had heard him curse and abuse
her in a brutal manner.
He said she spoke also of going to
his office, finding the door locked, with
a woman inside, and that Mr.. McCue
looked sheepish' when he came to
the door.
He identified a statement which he
said Willie got from Perry and said
Willie had declared to him only
yesterday that he would make the
made to him and corroborated
previous witness as to Willie's alleged
statements concerning the McCue's
family life and McCue's saying on
the evening the tragedy occurred he
Would be damned if he would put
up with it another day."
The defense objected to all testi-
mony regarding statements attribut-
ed to Willie McCue the court over
ruling them, but admonishing the jury
that the testimony relative to state
ments could not be used against the
defendant, but only for the purpose OF
impeachment
beneficiary of McCue.
Mr.. Crawford admitted that he had
used Mr.. McCue's horses and guns and
had worn his watch. but said he paid
for his board. He admitted that he
might have expressed admiration to a
Mr.. Rains for Mr.. McCue as bust
ness man, but denied that he had
spoken to him of delightful happy
home" He also denied suggesting to
Baldwin that money would have to
be used in certain instance.
The witness identified letter which
he wrote to Mrs. McCue from Harris
onburg July 4, 1904 concluding with re-
CARDS to her better half" He would
not say that Mrs. McCue was INDUCED
in everything she wanted, but admit
ted that she dressed very, very
nicely"
