Especial to The Times-Recorder.)
Leesburg, Ca, Nov 9.-After the
jury had remained out for two hours
last night in their efforts to reach a
verdict, Judge Littlejohn at 11:40
o'clock gave order for the jury to be
given quarters for the night. thus
closing the second day in this noted
trial with no verdict rendered.
The conclusion of the argument and
the judges charge was reached at
9:45 o'clock, at which time the case
went to the jury. From the poor
showing made by the prosecution in
their effort to make out a case, it was
believed that a verdict would be
reached last night. This, however,
was not done. The belief is strong,
however, that when the court con-
venes tomorrow morning the jury
will soon render a verdict declaring
Childers not guilt.
Every effort was made by Judge
Littlejohn to conclude the case to-
day, a night session of the court hav-
ing been held, but the jury tied up
matters by it's failure to return
verdict. The trial was probably the
most dramatic one ever held here.
The failure of the prosecution TO
show a motive seemed as pronounced
as in the two preliminary hearings.
AS the burden of proof rested upon
the prosecution and as they failed in
witness after witness to show COM
pelling motive, it became apparent as
the trial progressed that it would be
difficult for the prosecution to make
out a case. This gave rise to u
general belief that no conviction was
probable under the testimony pre-
sented
1t was a moment of dramatic sus-
pense when the defendant, Maud Chill
ders, took the stand to give his state
ment 1t was when the court had

Americas Early RiSGrs See
Brilliant Stranger

Americus people, or rather the early
risers here, see distinctly now the
Brooks comet visible in this section
for several weeks past, and star
gazers in both the city and county,
have been busy watching it for some
time Early rising parties discovered
it along the eastern horizon, and local
astronomers have since been busy and
energetic in getting up early to get
view of it before its disappearance
from view to the naked eye. AS seen
here, it is declared full equal in at
traction to Halley's comet.

SEWER WORK IS begun
south ON LEE Street
Long Stretch Of 1000 Feet
Is Begun There

Four thousand feet of ditching for
the sanitary sewerage extension on
Lee street, sauth, to the city's sub
urbs was begun yesterday when the
huge engine employed upon the
sewerage work was turned into Lee
from Bell street. at the corner of Mr.
E. L. Bells property Bell street for
a half mile has been severed already,
and with the completion of the pipe
line out Lee street the two will be
connected up at the point named.
The contractors are expediting thei
work and will doubtless finish putting
in all connections by the time agreed
upon. The laying of the sewerage
system out on the Southside will
make available vast area of hitherto
vacant property and will insure the
erection of many pretty residences out
in that section of Americus next
year.

TO finish Up JACKSON
STREET IN few DAYS
Paving is Now Completed to
Church Street

But for the inclement weather thia
week the task of paving Jackson
street would have been completed to-
day from the Seaboard passenger de-
Dot to the Hotel Windsor, a distance
of nearly a half mile, and that i'm
portant thoroughfare once more
opened to traffic.
Rain retarded the paving forces
greatly, and it will be Monday or
Tuesday ere the work is finished 70
Lamar street and the fine avenue
again made available.
The workmen have put down thu
creosoted cubes to a point opposite
the Y. NJ. c. A. building already, and
are pushing the work towards Lamar
street. With the paving completed
to Church street already Jackson
street. from that point to the depot,
will be opened tomorrow.
This will greatly lessen the dis
tance to the Seaboard station, which
is now made around by Lee and Finn
street.
AS soon as Jackson street is finished
the paving forces will begin laying
the blocks on Windsor street, which
can be completed easily in two or
three days.
Forsyth street, from the Confeder-
ate monument to Parker's ware
house on Cotton avenue will then re-
ceiye attention, and later on the WORK
will be prosecuted along the avenue
from the Harris Hardware Store 10
the Central Railway depot, distance
of five or six blocks.
Lamar street will probably be re-
served for the finishing touches, along
with Lee and Church streets. WIN
plenty of blocks available it seems
quite certain that all of the paving
work, near three miles in extent Will
be completed within the contract time
specified.
The wodd block is proving entirely
satisfactory and that laid alreauS
makes an excellent pavement. lht
bills will come in latter.
