Made Threats to Get Even With

OTHERS SAID TO BE ARMED
Discovery Prevents Prisoners At
tending Usual Sunday Services.
Searching for Weapons.

| The timely discovery made by Capt.
Thomas HI. Mckee, warden Of the United
States Jail, yesterday that two of the
most desperate prisoners were possessed
of knives and were threatening to use
them no doubt prevented one Or more
tragedies within the prison. AS result
of the discovery the several hundred pris-
oners were not allowed to attend the
afternoon service at the Jail yesterday. Il
| Capt Mckee was at home attending an
i'll member of his family when he was
called on the telephone by an officer of
the prison and Informed that negro
named Hoyle, who Is serving a years
sentence in Jail before being sent to the
Atlanta penitentiary to serve ten-year
sentence for robbery, had a knife in his
possession. The warden hastened to the
JAIL confronted the prisoner and made
him surrender the weapon.
Prior to the arrival of the warden one
of the guards was attacked by Hoyle.
who was in irons because of his threats
against fellow prisoners and guards.
Others Made Threats.
After the knife had been taken from
Hoyle the warden learned that another
prisoner. also in irons. had knife in his
possession, and steps were taken to secure
it. Owing to the excitement caused by
the attack upon the guard. and informa
ton received by Warden Mckee that
three prisoners all sentenced to the pen"
and all wearing irons. had covertIy made
threats that they intended to make an
attack upon certain prisoners who are
accused of reporting them TO the Jail
authorities and having them roned, when
they were released from their cells yes.
terday afternoon to attend divine service
in the rotunda of the Jail, the warden de-
cided that none of the prisoners should
be allowed to leave their cells or the i'm
mediate corridors until the excitement
had subsidized.
The rngleader of the desperate trio
was said to be Tom Smothers. d negro
who is awaiting transportation to At
lanta to serve a long sentence in the
penitentiary for manslaughter.
When Warden Mckee was asked about
the matter today he said the three pris-
oners who are awaiting transportation to
Atlanta We're stinsing under the fact
that they had been placed in irons and
became revengeful.
Wanted to "Get Even."<
They accused other prisoners of inform
ing on them. and threatened to get
even" When the discovery was made
yesterday that two of the prisoners had
knives concealed about them he ordered
that none of the men be permitted to
leave their cells: There was no plot to
escape, Capt. Mckee added, escape
during religious services at any other
time is practically impossible.
| He added that Hoyle is serving a Jail
sentence prior to going to the pen. and he
believes where a prisoner of the desperate
character of Hoyle is sentenced doubly
he should be required to serve the peni-
| tentiary sentence first. Capt. Mckee will
| try to have Hoyle's fifteen further days in
Jail remitted by pardon in order that he
| may be sent to Atlanta with the next
! batch of prisoners

DULUTH is in the midst of a court

NEW RECEIVERS
FOR A., B. 8 A. ROAD
MAY Be ASKED

Proceedings will be brought this week
before Judge Don A. Pardee, as circuit
judge, in New Orleans, to bring about
the appointment of another receiver or
receivers for the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad, to displace H. NJ.
Atkinson president of the road. and
Preston S. Arkwright, vice president.
both of whom are now acting as receiv-
ers of the road under Judge Newmans
order.
The case is set for hearing before
Judge Pardee on Friday next. This &C
ton follows the filing some time ago of
foreclosure proceedings by the Old Colony
Trust Co., of Boston, trustees for the
bondhOlders of the road. In these pro-
ceedings, the trust company asked for
the appointment of a receiver. 1t did not
say that the present receivers were I'M
satisfactory, but 1t is known that the
trust company is acting for a large ele-
ment of bondholders who are dissatisfied
with the present arrangement
BOndhOlders Back of 1t
Before the trust company filed its fore
closure proceedings, the A, B. & A. rail-
road itself had filed a petition for a re-
ceiver, and mad asked that Messrs. At
kinson and Arkwright be appointed in
that capacity. Judge Newman appoint
ed them to act. The later proceeding,
however, will have precedence, as behind
it are the bondholders, men who furnish
ed the money with which the road was
! built, and who now hold first mortgage
on its property.
They are now anxious to get their
money out, and feel, so the report has ii
here, that man who is both a practical
railroad man and one who is not inter-
ested in the road. as the present receiv-
ers are, should take charge of it.
Action to Be Resisted
The obndholders will be present at the
New Orleans hearing, and will present
their objections to the present receivers
to the court.
AS no agreement has been reached be-
tweent the Old Colony Trust Co., repre-
senting the bondholders, and the present
receivers, it is believed here that the ap-
plication for a change will be resisted by
, the present receivers.
The case involves some $15,OOO,OOO rep
resented in bonds. The bondholders ask
that the new receiver, who shall be a
practical railroad man, take charge OF
the property, make detailed report on
its possibilities, and make careful, I'M
| biased and expert report of the status.
