ROW over G. F. & A. ROAD
j. Il. WILLIAMS LOST PRESIDEN-
CY AND THEN BOUGHT THE
WHOLE THING.

CAMBRIDGE, Ga.-FollOwing the
conclusion of the meeting of the di-
rectors of the Georgia, Florida and
Alabama railroad, which elected a
successor to him as president of the
road, retained General Manager J.
c. Odell, and apparently backed up
the minority stockholders against
him, Mr.. j. P. Williams of Savannah
bought out practically all of the hold
ings of the minority stockholders, to-
gether with their bonds, this after
noon.
This action was followed by the
resignation of General Manager
Odell, the result Mr.. Williams de-
sired several days ago, and to at
tain which caused the directors
meeting.
j. E. Tussey, whom Mr.. Williams
appointed general manager to sue
coed Mr.. Odell, when the latter re-
fused to retire, has been appointed
to that place Mr.. Williams left to-
night for Lanark on the Gulf in his
private car, and will remain there
several weeks.
Mr.. Williams, although he was
here for several days and was then
owner of nearly 80 per cent. of the
stock of the railroad, refused to at
tend the directors meeting. He had
ordered General Manager Odell to
vacate his office, and when Odell re-
fused and was backed up by the di-
rectors and minority stockholders
Mr.. Williams apparently was defeat

BENT WITH OLD AGE WALTER H.
HOLCOMB GOES BACK TO PRISON
Iabun County Man Georgia Penientay Many
Years Ago Is Apprehended. a Wealthy and Reputable
Business May

ATLANTA, Ga.-A regular Eu-
gene Aram case developed here last
night when Walter H. Holcombe of
Rabun county, said to be a wealthy
and reputable business man, was
lodged in prison on the charge of
having escaped from the state peni-
tertiary in 1877. He was brought
here, it is said, preparatory to being
carried back to the penitentiary to
complete a ten-year sentence i'm
posed for the offense of theft only
a few years after the civil war.
Mr.. HOlcombe is now bent and
gray, and nothing in his appearance
indicates the criminal. On the other
hand he looks like a staid and con-
sentative business man. 1t is said
that when young man he got into
trouble in his home county, Rabun.

ORR WAS ON WITNESS STAND
FEARED 1T WOULD INCRIMINATE
HIM TO ANSWER QUESTION
IN CABANIss TRIAL.

MACON, Ga.-The feature of yes
terday in the trial of J. w. Caba-
Miss, former president of the Ex-
change Bank, was the attempt by the
state to secure the testimony of Cliff
ford M. Orr, former cashier of the
bank, who is now under sentence for
embezzlement in connection with the
failure of the institution, and against
whom there is an indictment for de-
claring false dividends pending. 1t
was brought out during the proceed
ings, however, that the solicitor had
about decided to mol PROSE- this in
dictment.
Mr.. Orr took the stand, and he
identified a letter written to him by
Mr.. Cabaniss. When asked a uues-
ton, though, he declined to answer
on the ground that his reply might
tend in some manner to incriminate
him. Solicitor Grace argued that Mr..
Orr should be made to reply, and
Attorney Fielder also addressed the
court on this point The court took
the matter under advis ement and in
structed Mr.. Orr to leave the stand,
and return at o'clock.
Mr.. G. T. King, one of the perma-
nent receivers of the bank, testified.
He swore that Mr.. Cabaniss. in con-
versation with the witness and C. M.
Orr, admitted that he was a member
of the firm of c. NJ. Orr & Co. Mr..
King also testified as to Mr.. Cabaniss'
settlement with the bank, stating the
amount of cash and property turned
over and the amount subsequently
realized on the real estate.
j. Z. Ladder said on the witness
stand he owned fifty shares of Ex-
change Bank stock, and had always
collected the dividends. He testified
that the bank had no vice-president
after the death of Mr.. Corbin, and
that this Office was also vacant for a
number of years intervening between
the death of Capt. S. S. Dunlap and
the election of Mr. Corbin He said
he had asked Mr.. Cabaniss why
Vlce-presldent was not elected, and
that Mr.. Cabaniss replied that "Or
was a pretty good lieutenant"
Mr.. M. H. Taylor was recalled.
He testified that at every annual
meeting of the directors he suggest
ed the election of a vice-president,
but that Mr.. Cabaniss always had
the matter postponed He said he
had never favored Mr.. Orr for either
cashier or yice-president on account
of the manner in which he treated
| the banks customers
When court met at o'clock C.
NJ. Orr was again called to the
stand. He was asked by the solicit
tor several questions in regard to
the Exchange Bank, and the account
of G. M, Orr & Company. The wit
ness replied:
Upon advice of counsel I decline
to answer"
! The court upheld the witness in
his refusal to answer.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-06-02

He was sent to the penitentiary, and
after a service of a few years es-
capped. He left the state and was
heard of no more. 1t is stated that
he went west, became engaged in the
wheat business and prospered Re-
Gently he surrendered to a lifelong
desire to return to his old home and
view the scenes of his boyhood once
again. Thinking that more than 80
years of time would have effaced all
memory or care concerning the debt
he owed the state he returned.
He was recognized, the old Of
Tense was recalled and he was ar
rested.
An appeal for pardon will proba-
bly, be made to the prison commits
sion, and if it can be shown that his
life subsequent to his escaping has
been without blemish such will in all
probability be granted

To DR.. Logan Thomas, Doverel,
Ga: By permission of the long-suf-
fering and accommodating editor of
The Dawson News l am permitted to
answer some of your personal at
tack on me last week.
You have studiously avoided an
swering any of the questions which
I submitted to you in my former
article, all of which were pertinent
political enquiries applicable to the
issue, polite, genteel and respectfully
presented.
They must have hit you had. In
stead of answers to those little in
terrOgatorieS you have jumped into
the political arena clothed in battle
array. Armed with a stiletto and hid
ing behind insinuation, and covering
your meaning in many inuendoes,
You stab and cut at a man who
has never given you cause for Of
tense, unless it be that | was the I'M
willing opponent Of your friend in
the last senatorial race. You con-
TESS that this is the cause of your
wrath.
Doctor, you ought not to get mad
and stay mad with me about that lit
tie matter / never ran against your
friend. l tried to keep him out of
the race. He butted in; was in
duced into the race by some of his
friends, and he got himself beat.
/ expect that you advised him to run,
feeling that you had an easy mark,
and now after his defeat you feel
somewhat to blame. | hope you will
be more cautious next time.
| am surprised, Doctor, that you
take defeat so hard. When you have
had as many as have you will think
less of them.
am certainly sorry that you could
not or would not, answer any of the
Questions l asked of you. You had
asked some questions of your friends
here to find out all the facts con-
corning my career.
Il Why did you not ask some of your
friends why it was that the county
court of Terrell was abolished?
Somebody lost the City Court judge
u snip at that time, just like ] did
Iater And, possibly, that's why the
Clty Court was established. Well
q we all have bad luck in this world
and some good luck.
4 Now, Doctor, you may not know
s. IL, but l will say to you that this
Httle race for the senate is not the
only campaign that l have been
through in this section. When you
begin to turn the pages of my past
d record, personal, private, official and
political, just remember that those
pages have become thumb worn, and
