ACQUITTED, THEN SHOT.
Miner, Freed by Jury, is Fired Upon
by Friends Of Man He Killed and
is Fatally Wounded.

Ten minutes after he had been ac-
quilted on the charge of murder In
court at Jonesboro, Ca, and while he
was going to the county jail for his
clothes, Leon T. Miller was shot five
times by unidentified persons, and Will
die from his wounds.
Before a jury Miner, who is a
we'll known Clayton county man, was
placed on trial Thursday morning on
the charge of numbering B. H Dor
sey, who was, before his death, also
ore OF the most prominent men o.
the section.
It was $50 p. M, that the jury re-
turned its verdict of mot guilty.
There was silence in the court room
when the verdict was announced. Sub
sequent events proved the silence was
ominous.
1t was feared that violence might be
done Miner and 1t was decided 70
place him III cell in the Jail.
Two deputies escorted him through
the crowd in the court and led him
out into the night. When the party
was about twenty yards from the Jail,
which adjoins the court house, six
shots we're fired and Miner fell TO the
ground. He was carried to the jail,
where it developed he had been struck
five times. His right leg was broken,
and his right arm, shoulder and hip
were penetrated by bullets. His as
sailants escaped, but 1t is said their
identity is known and that they Will
be apprehended.

NIPPLE A HYPOCRITE.
Thieving Suicide Sank President, Who
Paraded as Moral Saint, Proves
Only a Whited Sepulcher.

The statement of Receiver Earle
of the Estate Trust company of Phil
adelphia that Frank x. Nipple, late
president Of the concern, had stolen
securities valued at $4,000, and that
the lending of s5,oOo,OO0 to Adolf Sc.
gal on insufficient security amounted
to as much theft, created a profound
sensation throughout the city. The
revelation was an especially cruel
blow to his many Intimate friends,
most of whom are prominent in the
Presbyterian church, either as clergy
men Or laymen. So high was their
estimation of the man who abhorred
tobacco and liquor and refrained from
reading Sunday newspapers, that not
only the various organizations in the
Presbyterian church made the trus:
company their depository, but hun
dre6s of members II that denomina-
ton placed their money in his COM
pany. The number OF pastors who
used the bank to care tor their say
ings was exceptionally large. Most OF
them refused to entertain the theory
that Nipple ended his own life, and 1t
was difficult to make them believe
that his secret operations were as ir'
regular as they are alleged to be. In
addition to his church work, Mr.. Hip
pie took an active interest in reform
politics, and is said to have been a
heavy contributor to the reformer's
campaign funds in last years notable
fight in the City of Brotherly Love.

troll of over S1,O00,O0U and as treas

synod of Pennsylvania and Presby-
terian hospital OF Philadelphia other
large amounts were at his command.
Since the failure of the trust COM
pany it has been learned that only
a few months ago the institution was
under consideration as possible de-
pository for the foreign missionary
funds CT the Presbyterian church. The
influence of Mr.. Nipple, 1t is said,
might have eventun:y prevailed.
The annual contributions to for

equals half that amount.

President Roosevelt Converted
to the NcW.SN|e Spelling
List Of 300 Words That Hereafter in All Messages and
Documents From the White House viii Be Printed
According to the Recommendation OF
the Matthews Committee.

President Roosevelt announced his
conversion to the spelling reform
movement. He has issued orders 10
Public Printer Stillings that all mess
ages from the President and all other
documents coming from the White
House shall be printed in accordance
with the recommendations Of the
spelling reform committee headed by
Professor Brander Matthews, of Col
umbia, and backed by Andrew Car
negie.
Spelling reform had it's greatest
impetus when Andrew Carnegie
made an offer to finance it. For
many years professors and others
have been laboring to have the public
accept reforms in the spelling Of GER
tain words. The public, while admit
ting that the existing spelling IS
pathological monstrosity, refused to
take kindly to the suggested changes.
When Andrew Carnegie announced
himself as a convert to the reform
the matter was discussed more than
at any time within the past 100 years.
Mark Twain promised to take it up
after Mr.. Carnegie had announced
his conversion and had agreed to
finance the organization Of reformers
calling themselves the Simpliied
Spelling Board, Of which Brander
Matthews is the president Of the Ex-
ecutive Board.
This board announced at the be-
ginning that it did not propose any
radical or revolutionary scheme Of
reform, but simply wanted to make
easy the spelling of certain words. 1t
selected 800 words which it asked
the public to accept.
Following is the list of 800 words
already given out by the Simplified
Spelling Board in which changes are
proposed: 49,. -

Luxury and Crime.

A recent English robbery case
which reads almost like one OF the
Sherlock Holmes stories related to the
detection of thief through his fond
ness for flowers.
The only clew left by the robbers
of a house near Northampton was a
fragment of a flower, whose petals
we're scattered over the floor NO
flowers of the same sort were grown
in the garden of the house robbed or
by the neighbors, but an invesugationI
of the floral shops in the nearby toVS
showed that a flower of that sort ha@
been purchased the evening before by
a man who was recognized from the
description given to be well known
burglar.
At the trial it was shown that, al
though the night had been warm, the
thief, who was of delicate health, had
worn a light overcoat, which crushed
the petals of the flower beneath, and
these had fallen to the carpet when
he had opened his coat to stow away
the Jewels which constituted the great
er part of the spoils.
Although the clew was slight one
1t was correct and the luxury loving
crook will have. no need of flowers
to decorate his broad arrow suit for
some time to come.
