sentinel Special Service.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 7.-Charles w.
Morse is able to travel and will leave
Atlanta for New York within the
next two days.
1t is known that preparations for
leaving the city either Wednesday
or Thursday are being made, and
that New York is the destination.
In view of the statement of physic-
ians at the time of Morse's release to
the effect that he had not more than
year at the most to live, his rapid
improvement has set people in Allan
Ia to speculating. Some believe that
the prisoner was never as i'll as he
seemed to be. Even when he was a
prisoner there were some who be-
lieved that he was merely obstinate
and refused to try to get well, thus
iniuring his own chances for recov-
cry.
