MISSISSIPPI
GENTLEMAN
PRISONER
Young Man Now Confined in Georgia
Prison Refuses to Apply for Pardon
From the Chief Executive.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 11.-A-
though he could have a pardon ond
freedom for the mere asking, Horace
C. Gray, the noted gentleman pris-
oner now in the Marietta Jail under
sentence of seven years in the pen.
has declined to ask for a pardon and
will fight his case out through the
courts in an effort to obtain vindica
ton.
Desiring to see his son cleared iii
stead of merely pardoned for crime
of which it is believed he is entirely
innocent. Gray's father, wealthy and
influential citizen of Mississippi, has
gone to Nebraska to bring back, at hs
own expense, several federal and state
officials at Omaha to prove the sons
innocence. The father, whose real
name has not been divulged because
of his position and standing in Missis-
sippi. is worth nearly 100000, and is
sparing no expense to clear his son,
who is in Jail under an assumed name
1t has been found necessary to have
these officials as witnesses because of
a decision by the Southern Express
Company to resist the effort to free
Gray. The prosecution had already
announced its belief that Gray is limo
cent, that he is a victim of mistaken
identity, and had consented for him
to be pardoned, but when Colonel H
B. Moss, representative from Cuba
county and counsel for Gray, declined
to ask for a pardon, the prosecution
changed its position. In order that
Gray might be cleared of the charge
in open court instead of being merely
pardoned, Colonel Moss filed an ex-
traordinary motion for new trial.
When the pardon was rejected, the
prosecution then decided to fight the
case.
This new turn caused a postpone
ment of the hearing before Judge Nor
ris of the extraordinary motion, in or
der to give the defense time to get its
Witnesses here from Nebraska. The
hearing had been set for July 81.
Gray's father was in Marietta Tues
day. and left there for Nebraska to
bring the several officials back.
Gray was convicted of passing
forged express money order in Mariet-
ia on December 2, 1908, and was SEN
fenced to term of seven years. By
the Nebraska officials it will be shown
that Gray was a prisoner in the Oma
ha Jail from September 81, 1908, to
January 1, 1909, and that it would have
been impossible for him to have COM
mitted the Marietta crime
The hearing on the motion for a new
trial will be held as soon as the Ne
braska witnesses arrive.

PROCEEDINGS OF
POLICE Court

Octava Smith and Emma Evans
were the first actors on the scene
this morning before the city court.
Octava seems to be pretty frequent.
visitor to the hall of justice, but this
time she tried to prove that Emma
"swiped" six dollars from her person
while she was asleep. Attorney An
derson defended Emma and proved by |
witnesses that Octava was in no condi- |
ton to know who stole the money or
whether she had it at all on account
of lmbibing too many drinks of whisky.
Judge Davis discharged Emma and
later on placed a fine upon Octava
for vagrancy.
The next case seemed to be one
that would arouse the interest Of all
present on account of the positiveness
of the witness, Mr.. Lynch, an old
gentleman, who conducts a small
truck farm just inside the corporate
limits, has been aggravated a good deal
of late by the loss of some very fine
watermelons. He began search and
diligently watched for the thief for 10
days and nights. On Sunday morning
about o'clock he discovered two men
in his melon patch, following them to
their lair he found them to be Henry
Sturdivant and Tom Grice, two negro
men, one claiming to work at some
saw mill, the other doing odd jobs
whenever able. Both of them insisted
that it was case of the wrong men,
although Mr.. Lynch saw them drop
melon while in a trot to their house.
One of them went so far as to say
; he didn't love watermelons and had
never seen Mr.. Lynch's patch but
, once.
Mr.. Lynch went on to tell how they
would be out all times of the night
and his postiviness as to the exact
time he noticed their questionable
movement created a good deal of
amusement. Judge Davis imposed a
fine of $500 and costs on each one.
The officers on the beat in the cent
err of the city found a poker game in
full blast last night. The parties so
engaged came before Judge Davis, en-
tered a plea of guilty and paid a fine
of $500 and costs each.
