authorities why the visitor did not take
mere The silver in the dining room was
gone through, as was the Jewelry of Miss
Laura Jones, sister of Mrs. Lanier.
The officers were enabled to track the
burglar by the line of wax that was
dropped from a candle that was carried.
The worst feature of the robbery was
the attempt to burn the house and its In
mates. Fire was kindled by the robber
in four places, In the main hall in two
places, in the bedroom of Miss Jones
and in the back room. Miss Jones was
first awakened by the smoke, which came
from a pile of clothing on fire in her
ROOM She screamed and rushed into the
hail. where she found another fire. At
this time Mr.. Lanier awoke, and rushing
back to get some water, found the rear
room in blaze. An alarm was sent In
and the department made a record run,
putting out the fire before any serious
damage had been done.
Officers have been working on the case
all day, but there is absolutely no clue.
The motive for firing the house is puz-
zlc also 1t is thought that it is the
same man who has committed the numer-
Gus robberies through the week. 1t is
suspected that a drug was used, as the
occupants did not wake until suffering
strangulation from the smoke.

JURY FINDS
ROBERTS GUILTY

Although It was 10 o'clock at night
there were many residents Of Bran
DIVINE hundred among the spectators.
Closing Hours Before Jury.
During the afternoon session of
court MIR. Ball addressed the Jury. II
was a mastery effort by the man try
ing to save Roberts life. Mr.. Balls
strongest plea was that no motive for
the crime had been shown against
Roberts. Mr.. Ball said Roberts and
Casey had no trouble and the fact that
money remained in the bedroom and
safe showed that robbery was not the
motive. Mr. Ball took up every thread
of the evidence and maintained an
alibi had been established for Rob
erts and that Roberts should be ac-
Quilted.
Attorney General Gray was at his
best in his closing address as he
scored witness after witness for the
defense They could be honest In their
belief but alibis are easily established
in a great many eases" he said. Mr..
Gray secuted the contentious of coun-
sci for the defense that robbery was
not the motive, and pointed out that
the man who committed the crime was
In a hurry to leave the house and
snatched what he could get his hands
on. He admitted the prisoners clever
ness and said his cleverness prompt
ed him not TO take old coins which
could have been easily identified.
Mr., GRAY dwelt al length upon the
tell-tale footprints leading in the di-
rection of the Casey home. and he de-
clared that counsel for the defense
could not get away. from the fact. The
Attorney-General dwelt on the testi-
mony OF Mrs, Lloyd and her daughter.
Mr. Habbsrd and Mrs. Baldwin could
not be contradicted and that Roberts

Il prefer TO believe that God above
has provided that no murderer can
cover up all his tracks and in the foot

man.
Charging the Jury.
It was $40 when Attorney General
Gray concluded his address, to the jury
and the court took a recess until 8
O'Clock. Chief Justice Pennewill de-
livered the charge and another recess
was taken until 10 o'clock. Few around
the court house believed the jury
would reach a verdict so soon. But as
Deputy Attorney General Wolcott re-
marked, the jurors throughout the
trial paid minute attention to the tes-
tlmony. At times they would comment
70 each other regarding the testimony
from the stand, showing that they had
oeen discussing the case right along.
Ihe case had its surprises from the
hrst for the State. for each day new

stantial evidence cropped up. Detec-
