HARPER LIKELY TO
ESCAPE GALLONS
Gov. Brown Said to Be Favorably
Impressed With the New Evi-
dence of Carl Foster, An Eye
witness to the Killing.

Governor Brown had not reached de-
cision in the Harper case up TO / O'Clock
Thursday.
He stated he would spend a part OF
the Afternoon In reviewing the evidence,
and weuld probably reach a decision later
In the day.
It is known that Governor Brown has
been favorably impressed with the testi-
mony of Carl Foster. who appeared be-
fore the prison commission and told OF
certain Incidents Of the killing not In the
possession OF the jury, and 1t is thought
that he will commute Harper's sentence
to life Imprisonment.
It is known that Chairman Hutchens
of the prison commission, favored commu-
tation and so voted General Evans and
Captain Williams voted against commute
ton.
Harper is condemned to be hanged FRI
day II he escapes the gallows 1t will be
after one OF the most remarkable fights
on record Harper has literally lived In
the shadow of the gallows for months
Time and again he has been respited for
one cause or another. The last respite
came at the eleventh hour, when Attorney
Sam Hewlett discovered in Carl Foster ali
eyewitness to the killing OF Sheriff Ben
Keith.
More than half dozen times Harper
has resigned himself to death. He has
professed religion, and is now prepared to
die, he says.

Company Charged With Using
Cocaine in Two Packages of
Their Syrup.

Convicted Of having used cocaine in two
packages OF syrup secured by the govern
nasnt and Of q, failure to specify the
amount of the drug therein. the Koca No
la company. OF Atlanta, was ordered on
Thursday morning to pay $500 into the
United States treasury for the violation
of the pure food and drug laws.
The trial of the Koca Nola company be-
fore Judge w. T. Newman, of the United
States court, has attracted no little atten-
ton during the last few days.
During the trial It developed that Off
GERS of the United States department Of
agriculture had caused to be shipped
about year ago two packages of Koca
Nola syrup, of the kind alleged to have
been used in the fountains where the
drink is served to customers. one Of these
going to New Orleans and the other to
Anacosta, a suburb Of washington, d. G.
Analysis of these packages by govern
ment chemists, so it was testified. de-
veloped the fact that there was an appre-
ciable percentage of cocaine in the syrup,
the amount In each package being the
same.
Charges were preferred against the Ko-
ca Nola company, the specifications being
that the law had been violated In failure
to Indicate in the labels that cocaine was
present in the syrup, and that the product
was an "adulteration." There being two
packages, the counts in the indictments

company tina tthe syrup contained such
an enthusiastically small proportion Of co.

dictate on the labels the amount Of the
drug. This claim was, however, contro-
verted by evidence OF government officials
who testified that this could have been
done and the law com2lied with.
Judge Newman charged the jury in the
case early Thursday morning. and a YER
dict of guilty on four counts was, return
ed shortly before noon. The law provides
that fine of 500 Is to be assessed on
each count where a conviction is obtain :
ed, and this makes the aggregate sum
which the Koca Nola company Is ordered
to pay $500.
President Austin, of the company, stat

use of fluid extract of cocoa, from which
the cocaine in the syrup originated. was
discontinued by the company last May in
order to avoid a controversy with the au-
thorities. ..t.rt r.-.. b e-.

The jury did not specify az to how
she met her death, whether by accident
or with murderous intent. The find
ings are simply that death ensued from
a cut in the throat with knife by
Kanagawa. She might have fallen on
a knife held by Kanagawa, by acct
dent, while Kanagawa was having his
supper, or by any other accidental
means, but that Kanagawa actually
slashed the woman's throat from ear

Kanagawa did not appear before the
