Plea Made for Helpless Ones
Left by Martyr to Duty.
Slayer Dies.

Atlanta's generosity is beginning to
flow in a deep, broad stream toward
the little home of the widow and six
children of Court Deputy Dave Yam
oey. who was slain by a crazed negro
Monday.
The contributions are small, but
they are coming in from all over the
city. Those who knew the brave dep
NV have mingled their small sums
with those who did not in a universal
endeavor to repay to the bereaved
family that which it lost.
The Georgians fund for Yancey Is
mounting upward, slowly but steadily,
as Atlanta realizes the debt which it
owes.
Atlanta will do its duty. This city
will stand forth and meet the vast
obligation which it contracted when
1t sent its servant to his death while
preserving peace.
Little Boy Among Donors.
Out in the lonely little cottage on
the Jonesboro road the widow and
six children of Court Deputy Yancey
will thank their creator that their
husband and father served such a
generous and noble master.
Touching among the contributions
which have been received was that
sent in by a little boy. The amount
was 81 and the note accompanying
1t stated that the donor was "a little
kid Just like those who have lost their
daddy"
Contributions have also been started
by the police and detective depart
ments of Atlanta. Headed by the names
of Police Chief Beavers and Detective
Chief Lanford. the list of contribu-
tons coming in from the police is
constantly growing as the officers of
the law step forward to aid one of
their own kind who met fate which
they themselves are ever in danger of
meeting.
Eugene Watson, the negro who slew
tie brave deputy and devastated his
home. died at the Grady Hospital
Monday night. Death despoiled the
law Of its duty.
In a small, bare cottage on the
Jonesboro road. where, until yester-
day, a family had struggled hard for
an existence and good fortune had
never smiled, to-day the utter hope
lessness of the poverty is emphasized.
Through the night a widow. broken
in health and spirit, and six chill
dren, none of them able to work,
knelt by the form of the murdered
Dave Yancey court deputy, weeping
for the life that was sacrificed to
duty and for the dark days ahead
when there will be no one to pro-
vide.
Once or twice in his life Yancey
had pTospered. Shortly after he came
to Atlanta he was a bailiff for Jus
tire of the Peace. He earned money
then to take care of his wife and chill
dren. He held the position a short
while, when the justice died. For sew

eral months he was unable to find
employment.
About four years ago he secured a
position as a court bailiff under Sher-
iff Mangum. His salary depended on
the number of days he worked, which
was never over two weeks each
month. On other days he would sub
stitute as a deputy and serve subpe-
mas. During the summer months,
when court was not in session, his
income was practically nothing.
On the day he was stabbed to death
he had virtually secured the position
as a regular bailiff in the court of
Judge Calhoun. 1t would have paid
him 500 monthly. This news was to
be a surprise to his wife and children
when he returned home
Lived Life of Farmer.
Although he lived in the shadow of
a great city the life of Yancey and
his family was that of the farmer.
About a year ago he secured the
place on the Jonesboro Road, on which
he had made two payments. Nine
hundred dollars are still to be paid.
He called it a truck farm, but the
few acres were almost barren, and it
was with the greatest difficulty that
enough vegetables were raised to sup
ply the needs of the family.
About six months ago his oldest
daughter, Lois, was taken seriously i'll
and had to be taken to the hospital
1t cost Yancey more than S400, and
during the time his family was often
without food.
He had lived at the house on the
Jonesboro Road for about a year, but
he lived in that section of the county
the fifteen years since he came here
from Grayson, in Gwinnett County
He was raised on a farm, and when
he secured enough money to make
the first payment on his little home
with the few acres of untitled soil he
had hopes of making 1t a productive
truck farm and later acquiring more
land
Family Worked the Farm.
His wife and children titled the soil.
They had no horse to draw a pillow
and the work was difficult From
early morning until late in the even

Telegram From Congressman Ken.
nedy Announces Action OF
the House Com

PROCEEDING SLOWLY
Committee is Proceeding Slowly But
It is Hoped to Have
Report This
Session.

A telegram from Congressman c.
A. Kennedy says that the Inter.CitT
bridge bill has been referred to sub
committee by the committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce and
that they are considering the bill to-
day.
The hearing in Washington shor,
time ago was very satisfactory and It
was thought that the bill would pass
through the committee very quickly.
The committee which took the bill up
yesterday. being crowded with work,
evidently desired to refer it TO an IN
vestigating committee, and to take
the report of that committee.
While It Is quite evident that some
opposition generally thought to be
that of the *. & H Bridge Co. has
caused the committee to proceed slow

that the bill should pass Immediately
The bridge win be built as an acces-

public, it should not have a few rail
