HOW WILEY SMITH MADE
GETAWAY, TOLD IN COURT

how ]. Wiley Smith, secretary and
treasurer of the defunct Commercial
Loan and Discount company, made his
getaway from Atlanta, when the local
ity became too hot, was made known
Monday morning IN the superior court
during the trial Of the case of ]. T.
Knight VS.. George T. Yundt and Frank
M. Myers, president of the company
In the bail trover suit, by which
Knight is lighting to recover a share Of
stock he claims to own in the State
Farmers bank at Union City, the
plaintiff told of how Myers, who had
an account in the Farmers bank,
brought Smith to Union City in an
automobile. and, drawing $500 from
his personal account gave 1t to the
absconding official to vamoose with.
Knight claims Smith went to Mexico,
and may be there now for all he
knows. He said that Myers told HIM at
the time he wanted Smith to get away
for a while, until all of the excitement
quieted down, and for that purpose ad-
vanced the money
The stock certificate, winch is made
out in favor of J. T. knight, and is
now In the possession of Yundt, who, it
appears, got it from Myers, bears the
signature endorsement of the original
owner, which, however, Knight claims
is a forgery, saying he had not parted
with the stock.

EARLE FACES HEARING
FOR ROBBERY OF MAIL

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga, June 25.-The trial of w.
c. Earle charged with robbery of the
mails, is now in progress in the federal
court here, and will probably go to the
jury this afternoon. Earle is accused of
having taken a mail pouch, containing
81. 900 in cash, and securities to the value
OF $4,000 from the baggage room of the
Southern station here, on the night of
March 25. where the mail bags had been
dumped to await a late train.
The evidence against Earle is circum-
stantial. He was a baggage agent for the
Rome Transfer company and several me-
gro employees Of the company swore that
directly after the robbery Earle was
seen with large rolls of money. Jim
Carter, a negro bus driver for the trans
fer company. indicted for the same of
Tense as Earle, swore that the defendant
gave him 500 in $50 and 500 bills to get
changed, and that he made a trip to At
lanta for this purpose.
Large sums of money in the mail pouch
included shipments of currency from Local
banks to New York. Six registered let
tiers from Rome senders to Atlanta people
were in the stolen pouch. The evidence OF
the defense is that the money in Earle's
possession, including $3.50 taken from him
at the time of his arrest, was given him
by Carter for safe keeping

home this morning as a result of a fan
in 45-foot Well Mr.. Mayfield arose
early this morning. and just before
jumping in the well he was heard to
call his wife and sister. who were still
asleep in the house only a short dis
lance from where the tragedy occurred.
Mr.. Mayfield had been in i'll health
for some months though he had lost no
time from his Office. It is quite prob
able that his rundown physical condi-
ton is responsible for his tragic act.
Mrs. Mayfield expresses the opinion
that her husband jumped in the well
while asleep. Mr.. Mayheld had been
missing half an hour when search was
instituted and the postmaster's body
found in the we'll IS feet from the
house. DIR. Brockman. was quickly
summoned. He was lowered into the
well and tied rope around the dead
mans body. The body was drawn to
the surface and all methods of resus-
tication resorted to. All efforts how
ever were unavailing.
Coroner Batson was summoned to
Greer, and will hold an inquest to-
