nection with the death of her hus-
band, Uncle Josh" Crawford who let
an estate valued at $25O,OOO.
The appointment was made late
Thursday afternoon and an hour later
Mr. Smith notified Judge Hill that he
would accept the place.
q do not know what the status Of
the case is, but will take it up at once
and endeavor to get it before tbs
Grand Jury at an early date" said
Mr.. Smith.
Solicitor Dorsey was disqualified in
prosecuting the case on account Of
his firms connection with the civil
suit pending between the Crawford
heirs and Mrs. Crawford, which is oe-
ing held in allegiance pending a SCI
tlement Of the criminal charge
against Mrs. Crawford.
Attorney Frank Hooper was ao-
pointed as special Solicitor by Judge
L. S. Roam, but he was also disqua!i-
fed. Solicitor General Charles l..
Reid, of the Stone Mountain Circuit,
was next appointed, but Just as he
was preparing to take up the case his

Last summer the body of Mr. Craw-

ported finding poison in the stomach.
This was followed by the swearing
out of a warrant charging Mrs. Craw-

and spent one night in the Tower
surrendering when learning of the
warrant.
Mrs. Crawford has never shown the
slightest sign of emotion over thu

she is an object of persecution, while
the heirs declare that Uncle Josh
Crawford was the victim of a we'll

In discussing his resolution, Senator
Lea said;
If the l.. aud n. Railroad is no
monopoly, has obeyed the law and is
performing the duties OF a public
servant and not the functions OF a

Street Was Deserted.
Friday morning she stepped from
her home and started walking brisk
~ in the sharp morning air, uncon-
scious OF the negro lurking in the
alley. The street was deserted save
for Mrs. Latham, though all Of her
neighbors had arisen and were busy
preparing their morning meal.
A high board fence on either side
hides the approach to the alley. and
in the shadow Of tire fences the ne
gro hid. As Mrs. Latham passed the
mouth OF ,he alley the negro, hat
pulled down over his eyes, darted out
Of the shadows and seized Mrs. Lath-

woman around and made a desperate
grab at the pocketbooR

the negro with an oath released his
hold on her arm and gripped her

tinued to struggle, the negro dragged
her into the alley and a despera te

negro with all her feeble strength, but
She was powerless to escape. The

Footsteps were heard on the side
walk and the negro placed one hand
over Mrs. Latham's mouth and
crouched with his victim in the shad-
ows OF the fence. A workman passed
the mouth of the alley without seeing
them
The negro then resumed his efforts
to wrench the pocketbook from Mrs
Latham's hand, but she fought des-
per6tely, Finally the woman's eyes
closed and her body relaxed. The
highwayman, with an oath threw the
body of his victim heavily against
the fence, wrenChed the purse from
her hand and fed up the alley.
Mrs. Latham lay on the ground for
several moments before she recoV-
cred sufficiently to make an out
cry. Then she screamed and neigh

rated men scattered over that sec
ton of the city, vowing vengeance
on the highWayman. Call Officer
