MANGLED BY TRAIN
THOMAS J. MIssILDINE MEETS TER
 RIBLE DEATH.
Coroncr's Jury Returns Verdict that Enterprise Man While Dement, ed Committed Suicide fin
 an UnusuaI Manner.

Enterprise, March 11.--(speciai. )-- At Gerald, a station between here and Elba Junction, the body of Thomas J.. Missildine was found Sunday morning near the railroad track, having been run over and terribly mutilated by the train from the Junction to Elba. The head was severed from the body and 1t was mangled.
 An inquest was held and a verdict returned that he came to his death by the train running over him while in a demented condition and that he was on the track with suicidal intent.
 It is known that Mir. Missildine had recently been unfortunate in business cffairs, but a few days ago he receiv- ed a patent on a tombstone arrange ment and the future held brighter prospects for him.
 Saturday he was seen wandering around in the neighborhood of the place where he was killed, apparently in demented condition, and 1t is be- lieved that in this condition he threw himself under the train.
 He leaves a wife and six children. Only one of the children is large enough to help support the family. It has not been learned whether he car ried any insurance, but 1t is believed that he left no insurance for the pro- tection of his family.
 The remains of MT. Missildine were inferred here today.

GUILTY OF BIGAMY
VERDICT RETURNED AGAINST
 ROBERT McCOLLUM.
Tqhe BjIse of Georgia Man Presents Unique Problem in Law Relating to the Married
 State.

After having ben convicted of big amy in the City Court last April and having served ten months in the peni- tentiary, Robert McCollum. alias Rob- ert williams, a young white man whose case was recently reserved and remanded by the Supreme Court, was tried again in the City Court yester- day and was again convicted Of big amy.
 The McCollum case is a remarkable one and, especially so because the legal point as to what Is necessary to prove to establish a common law marriage is involved.
 The undisputed facts in the case are these: McCollum was first married to Miss Leila HardNman in Rome. Ga. She later secured a divorce by which she was allowed to marry again but he was positively forbidden by the court from remarrying In spite Of the mandates of the court, the couple later secured a marriage license iu Floyd county, Georgia, and were united inmatrimony February 27, 1905. Thereafter they removed to Montgom- cry and resided together for some time at West End. He was employed here as a street car man.
 On October 23. 1905, McCollum mar ried Ada Belle Moore in Montgomery. leaving his wife in West End and leaving the city with his new bride, He and Ada Belle More were arrested in Mobile and brought back to Mont gomery and McCollum was later in- dicted for bigamy.
 At the first trial of the oaet last April Judge Thomas charged affirm atiVely for conviction. because of the fact that McCollum and his first wife had lived togethe ras man and wife. making it a common law marriage, re- gardless of the fact that the divorce granted ln Georgia prohibited him from remarrying.
 The defendant was sentenced to three years in the penitentlary, and while his case was on appeal to the Supreme Court he began serving out his sentence at Speigner's.
 The opinion of the Supreme Court reversing and remanding the case was handed down January 27 last. The principal ground for the decision of the higher tribunal was that il was not the province of the presiding ,udee in the case to have charged the inrv as to whether McCOllums living ! with his first wife here constituted | a common law marriage, but that the 1 facts should have been submitted to 1 the jury for them to determine wheth- ! CT or not it were a marriage at com | mon law.
 | Tn addition to local counsel. Me | CoIlum was represented at trial yes | terday by Mark B. Eubanks. an at- 1 torney of Rome. Ga. The defense
 contended that. in view of the prohibit
 tive nature of the divorce of the cou- | pie, McCollum was never legally mar | ried again to his first wife and that l | not bigamy.
 The jury deliberated about fifteen | minutes and returned a verdict of guilty. In all probability the case will be taken to the Supreme Court ! again. McCollum is 24 years old

GARRETT PESSIMIST
sEABoARD's NEW PRESIDENT HAS
 GLOOMY IDEAS.
Believes Railroads of Country Have Reached Financial Danger Line on Account of Adverse Legfs-
 Iation By States.

Atlanta, March 11.-President W. A. Garrett of the Seaboard, who is on regular inspection trip, in an interview today said the railroads of this coun try have now reached the financial danger line on account of adverse leg islation which has already affected their incomes and which promises to still further curtail them. Railroads so affected, he said, will not be able to pay their operating expenses and the interest on their bonds if present con ditions continue.
 Tt may mean" he continued, that many railroads will pass into the hands of receivers, unless these penal ties are modified.
 For the seven months of the present fiscal year, the Seaboard had not been able to make expenses and meet the interest on their bonds. This has been true of the Atlanta and Birmingham division of the Seaboard since it was opened for service three years ago. This is the road in which there is no watered stock"
 MT. Garrett said antagonism of the people was responsible for these con ditions. He said the Seaboard had not considered curtailment of it's train service, but 1t would be impossible to many any Improvements whatever. -
