you are in secret league with the Liquor
Dealers Associations and that, at heart, you
are craving the princely income which you
would derive from the re-opening of your
bar-room in your Piedmont Hotel?
6. Had you not been put on notice that
Hardwick and Howard were drinking whis-
key with lot of wild young men, and were
instigating them to invade the Auditorium,
which the city of Atlanta had rented to me
for that night, and in which about 5000 gen
tlemen and ladies had assembled to hear pub
lie issues discussed? Did you not know that
the invasion of the Hall where every person
present was my guest was an outrageous IN
suit to every gentleman and lady present;
and that it necessarily imperiled the lives of
those innocent people, who had gone to the
trouble and expense coming, not only from
your city, but from every part of the state
to hear me; and who, if single shot had been
fred. might have stampeded and made
frightful struggle to get out of the doors, all
at the same time?
Z. Is it not true that your reason for dis
missing Joe Brown from the Railroad Com
mission was his refusal to be governed by
you, when the Atlanta jobbers had employed
you, as a lawyer, to get for their exclusive
benefit lower freight rates on coffee and
abled to invade the natural territory of the
merchants of Griffin, Macon, Brunswick, Sa-
vannah and Waycross?
s. Is it not true that your failure to open
the letter which Joe Brown handed you, after
you removed him, three weeks before the ma
tural expiration of his term, was due to the
fact that you were afraid the letter contained
the story of some of the horrible secrets of
dC11I,I Ia II hat e
opened the letter, the public would get at
those secrets? Is it not true that Little Joe"
Brown faced you; handed you the letter him
self, saying as he did so: "This will tell you
what | think of you"; and that you were
mortally afraid, either to slap his jaws, or to
open that letter!
8. Is it not true that old Jim Smith, of
Oglethorpe, Pussy foot Bill Howard, desper-
ate little Hardwick, and yourself are con-
templating another Cooper Carmack- Patter-
son case! Would man whose business
methods are as criminal as those of Jim
Smith hesitate at anything! Would man
who kicked his own father out of his house,
refused to introduce him to his wife, refused
to speak to him on the Streets allowed him to
be supported by charity, and cynically re-
fused to 60 to him when he lay dying at
Frederick, hesitate at any crime! Would
lawyer who stole the keys of the Ordinary of
Washington County, who burglarized the
Ordinary's Office in Sandersville, and who
stole the tax executions which would have
initiated against his clients, hesitate at MUIR
der?
eve omit here part of this letter, which
is portion of the famous Joe Brown letter

you have been surprised by the actual opera
ton of the registration law, and to proclaim
your intention of joining me in my fight
the Fifteenth Amendment, and for the pas
sage of law which will demand nothing
more of the voter than white face and
set of tax receipts!
H. Is it not sound principle Of law that
where ones life has been repeatedly threaten
ed, and where one attempt has been made and
failed, that the person against whom the
threats and the attempt at assassination were
aimed has perfect right to anticipate sec
ond attempt on his life?
12 Would it not disembarrass you very
much if Hardwicks family compelled him to
resign the nomination which he bought with
money and whiskey, and forced him to sub
NIT to another course of treatment in the
Rawlings Sanitarium?
Does not your sober Judgment tell you that
[ have the proof on Hardwiclz as to every
charge made against him, and that his po-
litical career is at an end unless he can have
me put out of the way? Don't you know that
| am on my guard against the Vaccinations
of that despicable little wretch, whose brain
has been disordered by whiskey, drugs, and
cigarettes!
Doesn't your natural instinct tell you that
| am preparing the minds Of the people of
Georgia for another Carmack case; and that
IT l should be assassinated my friends would
be certain to kill you, as we'll as Hardwick.
Jim Smith, and Bill FfaEawiek? u Gl>&1Jf>s~
10 Will you request our mutual FRIEND
James j. Green, of Athens, Ga, to have your
letter Autographed or photographed, so that
the people of Georgia may recognize your
signature? Could you secure an affidavit from
your Secretary, Mr.. Hitch, that you did not
dictate and sign that letter?
Il. Would you be willing to make public
statement, and reveal the true reason why you
gave pardon to that negro, who, in Miller
County, crept up to poor white mans house
at night and shot his eyes out while he was
washing his feet, preparatory to going to
bed?
15 Would you be willing to explain to the
public why you pardoned Walline, who MUIR
dered the man who demonstrated with the
young bachelor because of his indecent con-
duct In the sight of the married mans wife?
Did you report to the Legislature, as the law
requires, why you committed the death pen
atty in the case of that step father who COM
mitted that hideous crime upon his step
daughter? Did you give your reasons, or can
you now give them, for committing the death
penalty in the case of that man of family who
committed the uncomfortable crime against
white woman?
16. After careful deliberation, don't you
think that you would be rendering your coun-
try great service and your family a still
greater one, by retiring from the race for
Governor! Every friend of yours, through
out this state, realizes that my treatment of
you during this campaign was most generous
and forbearlng. You yourself know that had
l published your private letters to me, after
| had assailed YOU about the Glover case. Won

Grove and vicinity. He came to Dav-
export Wednesday, ostensibly on
visit The police there have learned
that he visited number of saloons,
but no one who saw him would state
that he was intoxicated There were
suspicious that he might have suicided,
but there are no grounds apparent for
such theory.
Morris Seigel and Morris KittiIsen,
Davenport boys who accompanied Ty-
ner to the Illinois side of the river,
testified as to the conversation they
had with the man.
An Expert Swimmer.
He told them he was an expert swim
mer, but that he was somewhat out of
practice. He engaged them to come to
Rock Island with him and carry back
his clothing, instructing them to wait
for him at the Milwaukee depot at the
foot of Perry street. He gave them
street car fare. and the poys carried
out orders. After an hour had passed
the affair at the Davenport police head
quarters, where they left Tyner's cloth
ing. Tyner entered the river early in

ferry landing. From the instructions
he gave the boys to whom he entrust-
ed his clothing he must have reckon
ed on swimming on a straight line
across the rivera physical impossi-
bility.
No Cutlery Heard.
The theory is he was seized by
cramps after he had gone a short dis
lance into the stream, and drowned
He made no cutlery as far as the po-
lice have been able TO ascertain.
Tyner was unmarried. The body will
be shipped to Long Grove for inter

HEARING DETAILS
IN MURDER CASE
Halves Claims He Did Not Mean
to Kill When He Fired
Fatal Shot.
IN DANGER OF AN ATTACK
Two Versions of the Tragedy Are Re-
lated to Jury by Attorney
Taking of Testimony.

Taking of testimony in the trial of
John w. Halves, the slayer of Peter
De Coils, was begun in the circuit court
this afternoon. States Attorney L.
NJ. Magil spent an hour this morning
rehearsing to the jury the incidents
leading up to the shooting OF De Coils
by Halves Sept. 10. The states attor-
ney said that Halves and his stepsOn,
Alfred Banks, engaged in an argu-
ment in a saloon on Twenty-fOurth
street and Fourth avenue, and De Coils
incurred the wrath of Halves by taking
sides with Banks and trying to prevent
disruption. Halves is said TO have
proclaimed in an angry tone that he
would get" De Coils for his interfer-
ence in other peoples business. Later
in the evening Banks, De Coils and
some friends walked towards the river
on Twenty-fourth street, but stopped
at the Casino saloon, where they tried
to enter, but found it closed They
thereupon turned back. On their way
Halves appeared on the opposite side
of The street and called to De Coils to
come across the street. De Coils did
so, and when he arrived within few
feet of Halves the latter whipped out
a revolver and shot him in the abdO-
men. Halves then ran away. burt was
arrested soon afterwards and charged
with the crime.
Claims Self-Defensc.
Attorney c. ]. SearIe. for HAYES,
advanced the claim that HAYES had
acted in self defense and the picture
which he drew of the case was as fol
lows: Halves and Banks quarreled and
De Coils projected himself into it and
made it worse rather than better.
Halves left the saloon and a little later
was going north on the east side of
Twenty-fourth. street at the same time
that De Coils and his party We're walk
ing south on the west side of the
street. De Coils noticed him and
crossed the street apparently TO have
trouble. Halves backed away from
him and suffered being called vile
names until he became afraid ,i-.t De
Coils really mean to attack him. where
upon he pulled out his revolver and
shot at De Coils with he intention of
hitting him in the legs and disabling
him so that the attack could not take
place. He missed his aim. however, .
and shot De Coils in the abdomen.
Last Juror Secured.
The jury which is to try the case .
was completed yesterday afternoon
when both sides signifed their willing
ness to accept Andrew Montgomery. a +
