portion of the city which lies across the
Fulton county line, in Dekalb. and the
trial will take place at Decatur, in the
latter county. Judge L. s. Roam OF the
Stone Mountain circuit presiding.
There is sufficient evidence In hand to
convict at least four of the negroes,
Charlie Walker, Ed Weaver. Will john
son and Jim Black. Charlie Walker was
the first to confess and furnish evidence
against the others to the detectives. This
may save his neck and send him up Tor
life imprisonment, while the others go
to the gallows. Walker says he con-
fessed in order to save his brother, EN-
NETT Walker, also under arrest, in con-
nection with the crime but Weaver,
who has also confessed, says Emmett
Walker took part In 1t. Thus there is
also possibility of a fifth conviction.
Then Bryson has identified Charlie Wal
ker as the man who shot him, which
may prove fatal to Walker despite his
confession. Walker asserts that johnson
fired the shot which struck Bryson.
Anyhow. Dekalb will have, within as
short a time as 1t requires to go through
with the legal formalities triple and
possibly a quadruple execution.
Two Pinkerton men were employed by
the Georgia Railway and Electric COM
pany to assist the local authorities in
working up the case. The Pinkerton
men, Pierce and Dillon, together with
City Detectives Billiard and Black, Sc
cured all the evidence which has paved
the way for the convictions. beginning
with statement made by a woman with
whom Charlie Walker lived. and to whom
he told just enough to whet her curiosity
for more, which Is probably why she
talked as freely as she did
There will be several claimants for the
rewards offered for the arrest of these
murderers, amounting to 81 ,S25. The COM
pany offered $1,000, the city $500, the state
$500 and a citizen $25. The Pinkerton men
will not participate as they were en-
ployed by the company and paid SO
much for their services. 1t is a ques-
ton whether the city detectives will be
allowed to take any of 1t. as there is a
rule in the department against members
of 1t accepting rewards for their services.
Sam Lynes, an employe of the Georgia
Railway and Electric company who Is
SAID to have arrested Charlie Walker
and Ed Weaver, will probably get a
good slice of 1t.

IMPROVEMENT IN
DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, May 15-Cotton goods and
cotton yarns showed some Improvement
in demand and sales during the week,
but the advances in prices were fraction
al from very low points in relation to
costs and the lack of profit, in meeting
is forcing curtailment of production
steadily
The export demand Is light, while the
advance In cotton has been a stimulat-
ing factor in the demand for goods,
most merchants incline to the view that
the demand has come because of long
deferred needs that must be met The
most active trading has been done by
converts. printers, oil cloth manufacture
e.s and bag manufacturers. Fall River
sold 100000 pieces of print cloth and
convertibles, of which about 10000 were
spots, the remainder for delivery in June,
July and August In this market sales
ran up to fully $4,000 pieces.
Jobbing house trade has been con-
fined to gods for immediate shipment
and small business has been the rule.
Yarn markets have shown more life
and small advances from extreme low
points have been secured.
Mills are now declining new business
unless there Is some chance to avoid
loss or make minimum profit and
many of them have refused substantial
contracts because Of the low prices ten
dered.
The finished goods market has shown
the same improvement noted In gray
cloths, but it Is a seasonably~luiet perioc
and jobbers wanted to know more about
the next cotton crop prospects before
committing themselves on future deliy'
cries. n ..

IRON CONTRACTS
FOR WEEK HEAVY

New York, May 15.-It is significant
that although the railroads placed very
few orders for bridges last week. con-
tracts for CONSTITUTIONAL and fabricated
steel were heavy. aggregating 10000 tons.
The steel corporation secured only about
5000 of the total, losing the business to
independent companies because OF the
INABILITY Of the Carnegie Steel company
to supply the American Bridge company
with structural shapes under two months,
while competitors are making deliveries
in few weeks.
There has been active competition
among independent factories and struc-
tural mills and prices have continued
low in consequence, especially In the
eastern territory.
railroads are still giving small sup
mort to the mills directly. but including
mining cars and a part of the Hartman
purchases, contracts were placed last
week for $500 cars. Locomotive orders
aggregated 1O9 Including so of the Chi
ca9o Great western. Rail contracts were
only 10000 tons.
The principal feature of interest In pig
iron was the drop Of 80 cents to % cents
ner ton in the price of steel-making iron
In the central west towards the close Of
the week. Standard Bessemer sold down
70 s16.@ and basic iron under SIS at
valley furnaces. In the aggregate about
IL mo tons were sold for shipment up to
November and December.
In the east there was some little In
crease in orders of foundry iron. aggre-

are now pending for $1,000 tons additional
