SPECIAL GRAND JURY CHOSEN
BY ORDER OF JUDGE DUNCAN
Motions in Cases Of Alleged Rioters Argued To-
day-.-Legality Of Former Grand Jury to be
Passed Upon

lLingle of Joaesboro aid the prosecu
ltion as Will Hon. Walter Wardar
THESE cases are docketed for the third
week OF the term, but Judge Duncan
has expressed the opinion that he will
only be able to Put in two weeks ol
| his time at present term He came
only to try some cases in which "a
change OF venue had been asked from
Judge Butler, and these he will dis
pose of. Judge Butler will preside at
the end of the two weeks.
The other matter of Importance in
wolves the three cases referred to,
that Of VIM. O'Donnel, accused of as.
sault to murder; John Mitchell, ac.
'cused Of assault to kill a man named
Smith on Thlrty-second street, and
Ex-Police Officer Casey accused OF
bribery in connection with the Gus
Bourgeois gambling dive. The ques.
ton that has arisen in these cases
does not relate in any way to the
merits of the charges against them,
but only to the technical legality Of
the special grand jury which found
true bills against them. 1t is alleged
that this special grand jury was not
legally summoned, the law declaring
that all special grand juries shall be
selected by the sheriff, whereas this
one was selected by the board Of
county commissioners. The alleged
defect In the manner OF selecting the
jury was called to the attention of
Judge Butler at the time, and he de.
clared that there was no merit in the
objection-that the jury was legally
selected. Judge Duncan will be called
upon today to give his decision on
this question. Attorney M. ]. Oshea
represents ODonnell and Mitchell,
and Hon. Reed Green represents
Casey.

"FlSHY" STORY TOLD BY NEGRO
TO STATES ATTORNEY WILSON

The young negro, Michel Calhoun,
who was ordered by the Coroner's
jury to be held for the murder Of q
negro woman named Mary Lane on
upper Commercial avenue Saturday
evening. and who, in a statement to
the police accured Josh White and
his wife with completely IN the
crime, told his story yesterday to
States Attorney Wilson in the pres.
ence OF Coroner McManus The at
torney would permit no one to be
present at the interview excepting
the coroner, and told the negro that
he must tell the truth, and that he
would be projected. Calhoun admit
ted that he shot ana KILLED the
woman. but asserts that Josh White
told him to do so, threatening to kill
him if he did not do so. He say he
was passing Whites store Saturday
and White stopped him to talk to
him. White was angry at the woman
because she had testified against
him at trial he had recently and
he wanted Calhoun to put her out of
the way. Calhoun says White gave
him the pistol with which the fatal
shot was fired. and told him to kill
the woman: and it was out of fear
of being killed himself by White that
he committed the deed.
The states attorney places little
faith in the fellows stony, because Of
several important circumstances. In

show himself to be that sort of a
man that would be equal to such q
crime; he is a negro of more than
average intelligence and although he
has figrred much in police circles
lately, it has been more as the vic
tim OF persecution by the police and
others, than as an offender Another
circumstance which discredits the
story in the attorneys mind Is that
Calhoun has had grudge against
White, as many of the lower class of
negroes have, and as some of the po
lice have, notably Officer Wade, and
the effort to involve White in this
case may be easily prompted by
these motives. Another circum
stance is that there was NOTHING IN
the testimony before the coroners
jury TO indicate that the Whites
had any hand in the murder; and the
last, and most important of all, re.
lates to the weapon with which the
killing was done. Young Calhoun
says White gave it to him on the day
of the killing. while his father says,
and so testified before the coroner's
jury, that he had seen the weapon in
th possession Of hi son several times
during the last month and that It be-
longed to his SON.
Calhoun and the Whites were yes
terday turned over to the county au-
thorities and their cases will receive
