DECLINED TO TALK in
REGARD TO The CASE
Aldermen Are RetiCent Over
Litigation.

That hundred thousand dollar dam
age suit which Author Thomas Dixon
of The Sins of the rather" fame, PRO
poses instituting against members OF
TIE Americus City Council was the
subject of chtefest interest yesterday
and very generally discussed on all
sides.
Will the suit really be filed, and
will our opulent councilmen have 10
be divorced from such an amount of
their aggregated wealth?
Mr. Dixon sayeth yea, while they
hopeth nay.
1t was said yesterday upon the
streets that Mr.. DlNon's attorney in
Atlanta, in conjunction with Americas
lawyers, attempted to tave a confer
ence yesterday morning with members
of the council here, but without any
success.
The councilmen, it was understood,
declined to discuss the affair with the
local lawyers supposedly representa-.
Mr.. Dixon.
Nothing of very definite nature
would be given out
In this connection the information
came unoficiallg, that the suit filed
in the United States court would not
be against tie City Council of Amer
icus, but rather against the individual
gent t,emen constituting that very able
and altogether discriminating body.
This information is likewise repent
ed unofflcially.
Author Dixon seems quite deter
mined to prosecute the case vigorously
and as all of the members of the Amer
ICES council are men of large means
they may or may not be concerned
over the pending suit.

MURDERER
ALL RIGHT
Finger Prints in Blood Told
the Story.
First CeSe Upon Record Where Con-
VlCtiOn and Death Sentence Fol.
lows Upon Evidence Of This Ma
tufG, Strong Though 1t Is.

Chicago, November 11.-Marking the
first conviction on '.finger-print evil
dence' in the history of this country,
Thomas Jennings, IA negro, was today
falnd guilty by jury in the Grim
dnal court of the murder of Clarence
A. Hitler on the might of September
19, and sentenced to hang.
Counsel for jennings asked for a
new trial on the grounds that tile
finger 4print evidence should not have
been allowed. AS a result it is prob
able that the Supreme court will be
asked to rule upon the use of such
evidence in criminal cases.
Judge Kavanaugh, who presided at
the jennings trial, declared when OBJ
lection was first made to the evidence
presented by the state that in his
opinion the murderer of Hillyer wrote
hrs signature when he rested LGs hand
upon the freshly painted porch rail-
Ing at the HITLER home.
This porch railing was sawed off
anil photographs made of the finger
pri3ts i'm the paint Following Jen-
ninfs' arrest three photographs were
compared with new imprints of his
hanLl made at the police bureau of iden-
tification.
Finger7print experts testified at the
trial that there were 33 POINTS, Of
similarity on the first three fingers
of the left hand of the murderer of
HilNer and that of Jennings.
