Son Bell went to his house and re-
moved his household effects. On be

and he advised Bell that he would
have to return the goods, and when
the sheriff left them he thought
everything had been settled satisfac

tor of the mint, today said undoubt-
eddy that there had been a scheme OF
petty pilfering,' but he was conf
dent no great amount had been sto-
len.
The stealing, he added, was from
the great stack of silver dollars stor-
ed in bags containing $1,000 each.
In a few of those bags it was found
that one or two dollars had been
taken, and iron washers substituted.
The small amounts stolen from each
bag led Mr.. Roberts to believe that
the thefts had not been extensive.
The count of coin at San Francisco
now in progress was undertaken in
accordance with custom to verify the
accounts upon the assumption of the
superintendent of the mint by T. w.
II. Shanahan, recetly appointed to
succeed Frank Leach. Usually a few
bags of silver are counted and weigh
ed, and the remainder weighed
against them. Undoubtedly the thief
expected the iron washers to balance
the weight.
Mr.. Roberts thinks the money
probably was stolen some years ago
when the silver was placed in the
sacks. There has been no coinage of
silver since, 1904, and it is thought
the thefts occurred before then. The
count has been in progress a month,
and it will take several weeks and
probably months to count the entire
SCI, goo, 200.
May Count Coin.
1t may be necessary for all the coin
in the San Francisco mint to be
counted, dollar for dollar and penny
for penny. In addition to SCI, 674,-
600 in silver dollars the govern
ment's funds there includes S110,-
428,000 in gold, $106,50 in halves,
$164,000 in quarters, $50, 500 in
dimes, $4,000 in nickels and SILL
500 in pennies.

| ReiterateS innocence, says He VIII
ing Against Conviction OF
| On learning of the governors &C
ton DR.. w ]. McNaughton gave the
following signed statement to the
Atlanta Georgian:
l am extremely disappointed in the
governors decision. l had built all
my hopes and plans for the future on
THE absolute certainty of his indorse-
ing the recommendation of the prison
commission, but l believe that he did
what he considered his duty. l have
no word of criticism and feel no bit
terness.
Through the years I have been
kept in Jail here, an innocent man,
have tried to be happy and make
those around me happy. I still be-
lieve that truth and justice will tri-
umph in the end, and I will be given
my freedom. 1t may be years, but I
have not lost faith that some day my
name will be cleared and l can go
back to my children.
And now that Governor Slaton has
rendered his decision l have no hest
fancy in speaking on a subject that
should demand the attention of the
Georgia lawmakers and the people
governed by these laws.
1t is too easy to convict an limo
cent man on circumstantial evidence
Very often it is good evidence, and
in the majority of cases it puts its
hand on the right man, but at the
same time it throws the bars down
to unprincipled people. 1t gives them
an opportunity to allege and sub
stantiate crime when no crime was
committed, and.too frequently man
unconsciously puts his foot in the
coil of circumstance, sentiment forms
itself against him, and he is lost,
while the guilty person goes free.
In my case there was not even
