MAN, sUIcIDE0 YEsTER-
DAY MORNING.
ne was Arrested Last Week on the
Charge of Forgery-Wrote Letter to
Wife at Nichols, Telling Her
4, Intentions,

i would rather be hung for deser-
tlon than to- be tried for forgerY."
When Joe Bradshaw, young white
man, about 30 years OF age, mad t. al
statement to Jailer Lowe a few days
ago, after he had been arrested on the
charge of forgery, very little at:er
ton vas paid to it, but yesterday
morning, when he hung himself il
the Clynn county Jail, it was under
STOOD what he meant by the ren,k
BRADSHAW was arrested on lass
Thursday, charged with forging .be
name of G. S. Homes, by whom he
had teen employed, to small cit .k.
At 1irst he did not appear to az macn
worried over the crime with which
he was charged and talked freely to
those about the jail He ma lie he
above remark to the jailer only a few
days ago, but very little at ntiou
was raid to it.
Yesterday morning Jailer Lowe Wis
tied the man in his cell at 7.30 o'clock
serving breakfast to him. He seemed
much worried. however, and did not
partake of any of the food oTered
him.
TWO hours later the unfortunate
man was discovered in his cell, hang
ing by small piece of lace leather,
cold in death. He had fastened one
end of the little piece of leather to
the top of his cell, placed his head
in loop of the other end, climbed
on a chair. and swung out into the
middle of the cell to execute himself.
When the man was discovered his
feet were barely touching the floor,
showing that the small piece of lace
leather had stretched somewhat from
the weight of the mans body.
Coroner Jennings was at once noti-
fed and an inquest was held over the
body. Those composing the jury
were Z. l.. stephens, foreman, R. M.
Wilson, L. Mayer, w. Fl. DeVoe, l.. V.
Calvin, James Dent. The verdict of
the jury was to the effect that the
man came to his death by hanging

wick only short time ago from Mich
oils, Ga, small station on the A.,
B. & A. railroad. He had been en-
ployed by G.. S. Holmes, who resides
a few miles in the country, working
for him for only a few days. Last
week he forged the name of his en-
ployer to a small check and was ar
rested the following day.
Wrote His Wife.
That Bradshaw had planned to end
his life was discovered in a letter
which he wrote his wife on Sunday,
which was found in his cell. In this
letter he told her of his intentions of
suicide The letter was
as follows:
Mrs. Matte Bradshaw,
Nichols, Ga.

lines today just to let you know that |

Will Not Intervene.

Washington, May 27.-President
Taft today replied to President Go
mez's message regarding the attitude
of the United States toward Cuba.
He declared the American govern
ment's activities in mobilizing war
vess els at Key West and dispatching
the Prairie with marines to Guantan-
,amo was not in any sense an liter
venJion in Cuba.
The following is the text of the mes
sage:
Il am sincerely gratified to learn
of your governments energetic meas
ures to put doyn the disturbance, and
to know that you are confident of
being successful. AS was fully ex-
planned to the Cuban charge d'affaires,
this government's motive in sending
ships to Key West, just as sending
the Prairie to the Guantanamo naval
station, was merely to be able to act
promptly to protect American life
and property by rendering moral sup
port or assistance to the Cuban gov
ernment. AS was made quite clear at
the time. these ordinary measures of
precaution were entirely disassociated
from any question of Intervention.
