Aged Miniser Finds
Delight in Witness Chair.

Rev. G. N. Donaldson, an aged min
lister, achieved his hearts desire today
when he found the witness chair empty
and climbed into It. For several days
he had been haunting the corridors,
trying to gain entrance to the court
room. on Wednesday he managed to
get through a private door, but was
pulled out again by an exasperated
bailif. Yesterday he came early and
found a good seat in the court room,
and today he was the most consplcu-
Gus figure in the house, occupying the
witness chair fixed high against the
wall
The crowd was not so great today as
when the curious had still to look for
ward to hearing Mrs Grace's story on
the stand. The room was filed but
there were not so many standing in the
corridors, and the atmosphere of the
room was not so disagreeable. The
news that Grace had returned to New
nan. too, may have kept part Of the
throng away by removing one item OF
the show which has drawn the at
tention Of Atlanta for five torrld days.
Judge Roam said today that in his
opinion the case would go to the jury
before nightfal.

But she seemed immensely relieved
this morning when. upon entering the

Took Pistol to
Upset Suicide Theory. -

why did she take the pistol out of
that room? Because those policies
wouldn't be paid in case of suicide. That
pistol must be out of that room.
Mrs. Grace says she didn't know
anything about that letter. But she
could have told us whether or not he
wrote it. Did she do it? No!
Let's see about these little tricks.

have made could have diverted the

Mr.. Dorsey contended that Mrs.
Grace had never given Eugene money,
or checks would be in evidence. He
would bet that Grace paid for his in

He believed the woman had artfully

JOE MEYERS HAS
A BAD ACCIDENT

An accident happened at the Mason
Valley mine Thursday which may cost
Joe Meyers his life. That he was not
killed outright is miracle. a raise
had been made in the mine from tuir-
mel No. 4 to the surface for the pur-
pose of draining the big ore dumps
made in the development of tunnel
No. 3 and level. dropping this ore
through a chute into ore bins con
structed in tunnel No. 4, from which
lit is loaded into the mine cars and
transported to the upper terminal OF
the tramway Meyers was watching
the raise. or chute. on the surface in
order 10 prevent it from getting clog
ged up by the ore running into it too
fast. 1t IS supposed he stepped too
near the opening and fell in. At any
running in behind him covered him
with rock to to depth Of fifteen feet
Superintendent Cox was on the
ground and Immediately inforemd Of
the accident He Immediately took
steps to relieve the unfortunate man
and recover his body. as it was sup
posed he (Meyers) was crushed 10
death All the men that could work in
the chute were put on and did as rapid
work as possible The accident hap
pened about o'clock in the morning
and it was 4 30 o'clock iii the after
noon before Meyers was uncovered.
He was found wcdged in at the bot
tom of the chute, and. strange to re
late. did not seem to be badly in
iurcd a few bruises were noticed
about his head and a cut over his eye
No bones were broken and Meyers
helped himself ont of the hole when
the dirt was pulled away The only
complaint he made was about his legs
paining him from being in a cramped
position so long He was Immediately
taken TO the Smith hospital at Mason
and the physicians made an examina-
ton of his injuries 1t was found he
had sustained slight fracture of the
skull, and there were some indica-
tions of internal injuries As we go to
press Mr.. Meyers is still alive and
the doctor says there is a chance for
him to recover. although he has
spells of delirium and becomes uncon.
scious at times.
