Verdict Displeases.

District Attorney ]. HI. Bigelow and
the county detectives working on the
case were dissatisfied with the verdict
and proceeded to try to make out a prima
facie case at last nights hearing. The
squire ruled that such case had been
made out and held Johns despite the
vigorous protests of his counsel.
Several of the witnesses examined last
night admitted having been with Miss
Crispen and Johns on the night of the
Fourth of July when she was last seen,
and all testified that there had been much
the girl had become ill., Several of the
witnesses testified that Johns had proms-
ed to take the girl to her home.
Evidence Is Similar.
The evidence produced at the hearing
was similar to that given at the
coroner's inquest Thursday night Will
liam Aicher, who was with Johns and
the girl the night of July 4, testified
that the girl had coaXed Johns tc ac-
company her home and had promised
to provide a place for him to sleep with
a relative Aicher said the girl had
a few drinks and appeared slightly i'll.
Johns in preliminary statements at
the time of his arrest said that he did
not take Miss Crispell home because he
became i'll. The district attorney said
to verify this statement of Johns.
The prisoner will be put through an
other severe examination today by de-
tectiyes Thus far he has stood the
ordeal of examination well, the de-
tectives declare.

flying Atlanta's civilization, the bold in
Wader from the woods came last night
to terrorize the neighborhood of West

had attacked ten dogs, and killed a
number of chickens. IT was flushed by
the policemen.
A number of shots were fired at the
animal, but it escaped in the gloom of
the early morning, and terror reigns
in the neighborhood. That the animal
probably has made its lair in that sec

that it was seen by Policeman Ores

bulls, have exhibited bloody signs Of
