Firemen.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 2s.-Mail
trains left here on the Georgia rail-
road today with white strike breakers
as firemen, the first time since the
strike. This move on tae part of the
railroad is believed to be the first
step towards the abandonment of the
railroad of any further attempt to use
negro firemen on Its lines In this
state. 1t is feared that more rioting
would follow an attempt to run even
mail trains with negro firemen and the
government insisted the railroad make

Makes Break For Liberty.

1t transpired today that Junkin last
night made futile break for liberty
through the window of the grand jury
room, in which he is confined on the
third floor of the court house.
The admission in evidence Of Jun
kin's signed confession made in the
Aloha jail makes the states case COM
plete and it will probably rest tomor-
row morning. The case cannot get to
the jury before Tuesday. 1t is hard to
imagine how the jury could return
any other verdict than hanging, but
the local juries are uncertain.
Judge Roberts held the burden of
the proof on the defense to show the
confession involuntary and in the alb
sence of the jury, evidence was intro
duced to show that the defendant was
subjected to brutal treatment and
immunities. 1t was brought out that
Junkin sent for his mother and law
yer and asked her should he tell. She
replied: "Yes, tell the truth, but dc
not implicate any one not guilty
Junkin is quoted as saying then that
he was afraid Of Roberts, the judge
WAC is presiding at the trial.
Testimony was introduced showing

and worn and in constant fear. To

during his trial.
The spectators at tae trial yester-

repudiated. Detective John Gray also
told how Junkin in describing the

groaned as the negro dragged her to
an old cellar. 1t was asserted Junkin
made the confession at the behest of
his mother. The defense will put Jun
