 It is argued by the writers of the articles that. if Lopukine contributed to the unmasking of Azeeff he should be regarded as a savior of Russian lives and Russian honor and if he did not so contribute then they ask why was he sentenced.

Banker Is Very Low.

|
 Atlanta, Ga. Jan. lS.- am glad to hear the news" was the only com ment made by Charles w, Morse when informed by Major Baker, the chief surgeon of Fort McPherson, that 1 President Taft had commuted his sen { tence. It was uttered in weak voice which carried little or no elation for the bedtidden banker realized that no mortal authorities could release hlm from the clutches of the incurable dis ease.
 Warden Mover, who has been Mr. Morse's iailer at the federal peniten- tiary since February 3, 1910. hurried I Ia the post hospital as soon as he received oincial notification of the presidents action, and formally re. leased Morse.
 At tt1e saIne time he turned over to l his former prisoner the sum or $S4 and number of small trinkets in his possession when Morse surrendered his liberty.
 It was shortly after dark when Morse heard the good news with no member of hissenmily present but his sister. Mrs Jennie Morse. arrived 8 few minutes afterward Brother and sister were left alone together and what words exchanged between them. spoke.a or unspoken, were not the af- fair of outsiders. From Washington came two joyous telegrams from Mrs. Morse. and the sick financier bright ened perceptibly.
 Morse will be removed from the post hospital ss soon as he is able to stand an ambulance journey and was not so well today, but his physician, Dr, A l.. Fowler, was hopeful to- night that the good news might show lavorabiy in his physical condition l Should he gain strength Morse prob ably will be removed later to some sanitarmm in Florida and he hopes eventually to be, able to go to Ner- helm, Germany where the baths may relieve his heart trouble to some eX- tent,
 It is exs:o;ao , uUuJ,;m whether Morse ever will leave Georgia alive While his condition is not critical as physicians understand the. term he is suffering from three diseases regard. ed as incurable and the end might come at any time. on the other hand it is said he might live for ten years,
 under favorable conditions, predicat. ed on h,s release frcT confinement.
 Four women nurses. all employees of the government have been in constant attendance on the ex-banker since he was removed to Fort McPherson last 1 November. 1t is probable that they will be kept at his bedside until he is able to cave thc reservation.
 Morse has mani(ested very little i'm terest in life of late and his con ton has been suon ubat lev persons have beeeu permitted to see him.

BAROOOY MURDER
IS Yet unSOLvED
TWO THEORIES HELD BY THE Po-
LICE, BUT NEITHER is
PRODUCTIVE

Though detectives are still working
energetically on the case, Major Wer-
ner admitted last night that the police
department. Is still completely at sea
as to the mysterious murder Of Elias
Baroody. who was attacked with q
Ratchet early Thr~sday morning In his
confectionery shop at 5l4 North Sec
ond street. He died Saturday MORN
ing in Grace hospital without ever re-
covering consciousness, and the detec-
tives lost the one chance on which
they depended to find the murderer or
murderers.
Two theories as to the reason for
the murder have been advanced. and
neither has been discarded. Some
incline to the robbery motive. while
others see in the background the fg-
ure of a woman. According to q
statement last night. II has not been
definitely determined that Baroody
was robbed. A large sum OF money
and his watch were found In the store,
and whether his pockets were rified
after he was stunned by the Ratchet
is not yet determined. Many people
who live In the neighborhood and
others who knew Baroody intimately
have been examined. but none seems
able to throw any light on the mys-
ficers working on the case, the soly-
ing of the mystery seems to be hope
less. and 1t IL thought now that only
chance clue may lead to the detec-
ton OF the criminal.
I'm discussing the case last night Ma
.jor Werner said that he hoped during
tho next year to be able to install tho
nnger print system, which has proven
80 valuable in the detection of crime
A request was made to the city coun-
ell some months ago for an appro-
priation to install the system. and was
refused. The whole cost of purchas-
ing the necessary outfit. said Major
Werner, would mot exceed $500. and
would be. OF the greatest benefit. In
the present instance imprint OF the
murderer's fingers could have been
made from the hatcnet and from Ba-
roodys clothing. on which the muir
1erer placed hts hands when he drag
ged the blood-soaked man behind the
counter.
