STEGALL FAILS TO
APPEAR IN COURT

Atlanta. September est was a dis
appointed and perturbed set of Of
ficials that left the office of United
States District Attorney Tate, in the
federal building here at lc O'Clock,
who had patiently waited since $50 for
the arrival of Sheriff Thurman of Dade
county with Charles e. Stegall, the
government storekeeper and gauger.
and the man over whom serious clash
occurred last week between state and
federal courts following his incarcera-
ton in the Dade county jail on con-
tempt of court proceedings.
The district attorney and several
officers of the United States court were
in readiness to give Stegall his liberty
as soon as he put in an appearance, an
agreement having been reached to re-
lieye him on bond of $1,000. But Stegall
did not show up and not word came
to the federal officers from eth er him
or Sheriff Thurman, explaining the de-
Law. Efforts were made to locate them
at Chattanooga, where they were last
heard from this afternoon, an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch giving the infor-
nation that Stegall had become separ-
ated from the sheriff in some unex-
planned manner and was making efforts
to find him so that he might be brought
to Atlanta.
Stegall will be released on bond as
soon as he arrives here and Judge
Fite's action in sending him to Jail
for contempt, of court will be heard on
its merits before Judge Newman Of the
United States court Friday at 10 a. m,
when the question will come up on the
writ of habeas corpus sued out by the
district attorney.

stantially correct 1t confirms all my
declarations.
1.-THE whole story as to my not going

the reply I gave to the boatswain, Muir
ply, when he asked me one day, Have
YOU been farther than 81 north?
.I answered, Yes much further north
But | gave no other information to Muir
ply and Whitney would not let Murphy

nromised me not to disclose what I had
DONE"

Peary Arctic club, said he was member

Warrenton, Pa, September 2S.-After 66
talesmen had been examined, a jury was
secured In the circuit court this after
noon to try j. d. Harris, principal of
the Warrenton High school, for the mur-
der of w. A. Thompson, associate editor
of the Warrenton Virginian. Harris shot
Thompson on the main street of this

until 10 o'clock when an adjournment was
taken at 80 o'clock this afternoon until
tomorrow a jury had been selected, the
attorneys for both the prosecution and
defense had made their opening state
ments and one witness had been heard.

the Jury that he expected to show that
the killing Of Thompson was deliberate
murder On the other hand, Attorney
Byrd of counsel for the defense, con-
tended that the shooting was Justifiabie;
that the two men had quarreled over a
bill which Thompson had tried to force
Harris to pay and because of the latter's
failure to do so, Thompson had followed
Harris from place to place, attacking him
in various ways: and that finally Thomp-
son followed Harris and attacked him
physically, whereupon Harris shot him
In self defense.
T. w. Maxheimer the first witness for
the prosecution testified to having seen
the shooting. When he was excused court

ming to call meeting of the Peary Arctic
club In New York next week.
Commander Peary's forthcoming contri-
button to the controversy is rather volu-
minous, but has been prepared with the
idea that 1t should be readily understood
by the lay mind. General Hubbard said
tonight
1.-THE statement has been prepared and
will be submitted to the club. l do not
feel competent to say whether the club
will approve of 1t exactly in its present
form. OF course, no one can take from
or add to the facts.
1.-THE statement will simply contain the
facts in their proper order and will con-
tain no arguments except as the bare
statement of the facts itself constitutes
an argument
'T do not care to go record as say
ing that the statement will prove that
Dr. Cook did not reach the pole. That
is a matter for the public to judge. I
can say that Peary's statements of facts
are true
Whether Commander Peary will be able
to attend the naval parade in the Hudson
Fulton celebration next Friday has not
been decided.
