MARIETTA MAN
IDENTIFIES GRAY
AS the Man Who Passed a
Forged Honey Order
ON Him.

One Horace Gray was arrested in At.
lanta and held for a week or more az
being a mysterious suspect, who had
bank checks printed by firm, and who
afterwards confessed that he had rob-
bed post-office in Nebraska. On going
to Atlanta last week, Mr.. E. L. Robert
son, agent of the Southern Express
Company, went to see Gray in prison,
and identified him as the man, uader
the name of D. S, Grant, who passed on
December I'd last an alleged forged
money order for $50, said to have been
stolen from the Express Company at
Bald Eagle, Minnesota. 1t is alleged
that ten of these orders were purloined
and one passed on firm in Griffin. The
Griffin agent also identified Gray as the
man who passed one of the forged or.
ders on him for $50.
Mr.. Robertson swore out warrant for
Gray, and he was brought to Marietta
on Thursday and placed in jail. AS
to the result of his ARREST, it is vet
uncertain, as it will be necessary to
bring the agent from Nebraska here to
prove the forgery.

MURDER WILL OUT
AN ARREST MADE
1t Is Said Shug McCullOch
Was Not Killed by
Train,

About the first of January, Coroner
R. E. Lawhon was called to Powder
Springs to hold an inquest on the body
OF Shug McCulloch, negro, who was
found dead on the track of the South
ern railroad.
The evidence of Henry Frey, colored,
and J. w. HUMPHREYS, white, was that
McCulloch lett Frey's house at night,
with bottle of whiskey, for Lithia
Springs, and nothing was known Of his
death until reported next morning
The dead negro had received a long
cash on the side of the head, and the
coroner's jury returned verdict sup
posed to have been killed by passing
train"
Since then it has been whispered
about that the negro was struck on the
side of the head with a pistol in the
hands of man who was present
that night at Frey's house, which re-
suited in his death, and his body was
placed where found.
Since then Henry Frey, this negro
has been working in Marietta, driving
wagon, and it was thought best to ar
rest him as a witness, which was done
Friday, and he was placed in Jail. The
other party is yet to be arrested.
