After Two Days Trial Verdict of Muir
der Is Found.
Atlanta, Jan. 31-Walter White has
been convicted of the murder of T.
K. Quinn, Texan, and sentenced to
life Imprisonment
Quinn was killed on the night of
October 20, shortly after President
Roosevelt left the city. He had come
to Atlanta to see the chief executive
and the big demonstration in his hon
or. Finally he wandered over to
Peters street, and became involved in
a quarrel, which ended in his being
stabbed to death.
White was arrested and charged
with the murder. The grand jury in
dicted him and an Monday his case
was taken up before Judge Roam. The
evidence was almost entirely of a cir
cumstantial nature, on account of
which the jury brought in a recon-
mendatin to mercy The verdict of
murder was returned Tuesday after
noon, the trial having consumed the
greater part of two days.

Cotton Letter.

Americus, Ga, Jan. 31.-Another
wave of liquidation swept over the
market today The rally from the low
point of two days ago was by many
thought to be q. beginning of an era of
steadiness, to be followed by gradual
Improvement The strength of manu-
featured goods was in fact the stone
wall against which the market braced
itself for rally. It was not surpris-
ing, therefore, when rumors began to
float about of q weakening in dry
goods prices and some material conces-
sion in yarns that longs should take
counsel of their fears and decide to
take loss rather than TO risk confir
nation of the rumors. The early feel
ing was one of confidence based on the
big spot sales in Liverpool of $1,000
bales; the largest spot business put
through in many months. It is true
that the big sales were made at con-
cession, bat even this was accepted as
indicating willingness on the part of
spinners to buy freely whenever they
could get cheaper cotton. The early
strength of Liverpool, however, was
followed by decided weakness and the
effect of the good spot demand wac
soon dispeIled. On the break Liver
pool was a good buyer here. Shorts
took profits very freely on the decline;
the South was reported as selling ra:h.
er freely, but there was no indication
that farmers were letting go. A scalp
ing market is likely for awhile but I'M
less spot demand makes its appearance
it will be very difficult to maintain any
substantial rally. Liverpool due Z

Sheriff Doak after dinner for him to
bring Sidney with him to the Pullman
for a short visit" The request was re-
fused.
Travelling Guard Easterbrook of the
penitentiary joined the party at Star
buck When the train arrived here
the sheriff and his prisoner stepped Off
the platform after most Of the pas
sengers had alighted and walked along
side the train and then cut straight
across toward the penitentiary.
Some Of the people on the platform
were apprised Of the identity Of the
prisoner by passengers on the train and
stared at him curiously as he walked
off rapidly with the sheriff, but the
majority Of the crowd did not know
who he was and, as it was not gen.
orally known that he would come down
yesterday few were looking for him.

Walla Walla and had not been able
to see his mother or attorney before
leaving, he had found time to put on
the immaculate linen which he wore
yesterday and in which he appeared
every day during the trial.
Sloane talked very little on the trip
down. Sheriff Doak did not take his
prisoner into the diner until the third
call and it was empty save for the two
when they entered it.
Word was passed about the train
that Sidney Sloane was in the dining
can and many who had eaten once
went back in and ordered another meal
simply to see the boy murderer

Sloane ate heartily, ordered toke
point oysters and ate nearly every
thing on the menu. He had eaten no
breakfast before leaving. The sheriff
ate sparingly only partaking Of small
piece of beefsteak.
