Saturdays Atlanta Georgian)
Three indictments charging crimi-
nal libel were returned Friday by the
Grand Jury against Colonel Thomas
b. Fielder, the Atlanta attorney, and
Newport Lanford, Cheif of Detect
ives, who accused each other of most
everything in the category after the
famous dictagraph episode. There
are two bills against Fielder and one
against Lanford.
The two men will be placed under
bond and will be tried in the Fulton
County courts under the misdemean-
or act for unlawfully and malicious
ly accusing each other, according to
the true bills.
The penalty for conviction of a
misdemeanor is six months in the
county Jail, twelve months in the pen-
itentiary, fine not exceeding $1,000;
ifther or all three.
EsEolonel Fielder appeared at the So
licitor's Office ebout o'clock and fur
nished the $500 bond required. Chief
Lanford had not been located at that
time, but was expected to do like
wise.
! The accusation against both men
is based on determinations issued
against each other and published in
the Sunday newspapers of May 25
and June 8.
In those statements Colonel Fielder
attacked Lanford bitterly, hurling a
line of invectives that the greatest
of the Roman orators might have
envied. He attacked Lanford's pri.
vate and public character, accusing
him of "hideous crimes"
Lanford in Full Denial.
Chief Lanford replied in kind, de.
nouncing Colonel Fielder as ICON.
temptible liar, scoundrel and cow
ard" He denied absolutely any
wrong-doing.
| To establish the fact that the
statements published had actually
been made by Fielder and Lanford
the Grand Jury summoned Sidney
Ormond, city editor of The Constitu.
tion, and M. D. Clofine, city edito,
of Hearst's Sunday American. Botf
men testified that there could be nc
question that Fielder and Lanford is
sued the statements in question.
i The new turn in the dictagrapf
fight was entirely unexpected ane
promises stirring developments. II
the charges are upheld and the two
men formally accused, the real fight
will come at the trial, when it will be
up to both Lanford and Fielder tc
prove the charges they made against
each other.
| Real Revelations Promised.
That will bare the real inside OF
the dictagraph trap and other things
that have been rumored in the last
few weeks, and some real explosions
are anticipated.
Subpoenas also have been issued
out of the Solicitor Generals Office
for other witnesses who engaged ir
the controversy at time wher
charges and countercharges were fly.
ing thick and fast. 1t is the an.
nounced intention of the Grand Jury
to probe carefully and thoroughly
into Colonel Felder's charges of al.
legged crookedness in the detective de.
partment.
1t is rumored in the lobbies of ths
courthouse that the investigation OF
the Fielder charge will in time de.
velop into another and more search.
ing inquiry into the vice situation
in Atlanta. Colonel Felder's charges
have been based on the alleged pro.
lection Of resorts by Chief Lanford
and his detectives, which have beer
las vigorously denied.

VAUGHN MUST DIE
IN THE CHAIR
Continued from first page)
No Abuse of Discretion.

No Abuse of Discretion.
The court held that counsel for
Vaughn failed to show an abuse of
discretion on the part of the presid-
ing Judge and that the right to in
sist upon the errors assigned was
waived when the defendant withdrew
the plea of not guilty.
Concerning the penaly imposed
upon Vaughn, the court says that the
same question has been decided in
the case of the State against Malloy.
The court refused to sustain this ex-
ception to the sentence providing for
electrocution.
With reference to the alleged con-
fession of Vaughn, the court says /:
"Conceding that the defendant would
have been entitled to all the rights
claimed in these exceptions, if he had
insisted upon them in the manner
provided by the rules of practice,
nevertheless it clearly appears that
he waived such rights in expectation
that the jury would recommend him
to the mercy Of the court, thereby
enabling him to escape the death pen
atty At the time he Withdrew his
plea Of not guilty he had no reason
able grounds for supposing that the
jury would render any other verdict
than that of guilty, and the method
which he adopted, it would seem,
might naturally have been expected
to increase his chances of appealing
to the sympathy of the jury and
thereby induce them to recommend
him to the mercy of the court"
No Reasonable Ground"
Nothing was omitted" says the
decision, during the trial of which
the defendant had just cause of COM
plant; his attorneys, the presiding
Judge and the jury unquestionably
understood fully the nature, force
and effect of the plea made by the
defendant. He was represented by
an exceedingly able counsel; the plea
was not interposed until two days
after the commencement of the trial;
the presiding judge clearly stated the
nature, force and effect Of the plea
to which neither the defendant no,
his counsel made any objection; the
testimony which had then been intro.
duced indicated that there were nc
reasonable grounds for hoping that
the jury would render any other yer.
dict than that of guilty"

Homer's Birthplace as II Now Is.
From the Christian Herald.

Alphabetically, Smyrna must have
degenerated since the ancient days, for
we are told hat then the streets were
broad and handsome well paved and.
running at right angles with each 9TH
er. There were a number of squares
and porticoes and Olympic games were
celebrated with great enthusiasm, a
grand music hall at Odeon, a Homer
ion and many temples, of which the
most famous was that Of the Olympian,
Jupiter, in which the %reigning emper-i
or was practically the god worshiped.
The ancient Smyrniotes were inordi-
nately proud of their city; they called
1t the First of ASIA" though the Ep-
hesians violently disputed this claim.
The inhabitants also called their city
the CITY of Homer who they claimed
had been born and brought up beside
ef1eir sacred river. Meles. They put his
image upon a coin. which they called
a Homerion, a name given to one Of
their temples. Enormous fragments
yet remain showing what tremendous
buildings once occupied the broad pla-
teau on h summit Of the a%cropolis,
as n rebuilds in imagination
these wonderful piles he can easily for
give b Smyrniotes e old for their

ington by rats nihbling at the nds OF
matches.
In Chicago the rat is the nauseating
companion OF scores of thousands OF fami-
lies. There are certain streets in the con-
gested sections of the city where rats
swarm under the feet OF passersby. They
drive children off the sidewalk. Infants
have time and again been saved from
being bitten by a hairs breadth. The
determination of the rat is a vital need
in this city.
Unfortunately such determination is a
remote possibility. For the rat is only q
symptom of a graver social disease-of
bad, and, In spots. criminal housing.
The rat thrives mostly in the neighbor-
hoods where there are a lot of d~ilapidated
frame dwellings having no gas, with toll
cts in the yard OF In the cellar, n with
the poorest plumbing. Were ali rats to
be exterminated In such a building today,
there would be q fresh army of them In
a month. These old shacks seem to breed
rats as they breed disease, and crime and
drunkenness and insanity.

csgo. But it is only a fraction OF the
overtowering problems of defective, Grim
inal housing. Th nuisance will be aba

lem is solved in accordance with the de-

R~oUssEAUs DREAM.

The unfortunate Rousseau had spent
a most miserable day. He was one of
those people who are destitute of the
sense of humor. a magnifier Of trifles.
No sooner had he returned to his house
with the packet given to him by Mad
anne Linden and placed 1t in an old
bureau OF the room where he worked,
than he regretted having mixed him
self up In the business at all.
He had mixed himself up with an
intrigue. the magnetism Of Madame
Linden nj longer held him, and the
deep distrust with which this extraor-
binary man viewed his fellow-creaturea
once more had him in its grip.
He sat down in an old armchair by
the spinet which stood opposite the
door Of the dusty sitting-room, and fell
to considering the position. De LUIS

young man, wealthy. Of noble birth
and fine appearance, who, despite these

CHAPTER I.

THE CAMPAIGN ON MADAME.
Madame Linden, having taken her
departure from the Hotel de Richelieu,
drove to her house in the Rue Coo
Heron. Her plan Of campaign against
De Sartines was developing into action
with admirable precision.
One might have imagined that her
first thought on finding herself in pos
session of the Porcheron document
would have been the freedom of De
Lussac. She, however, was quite un-
aware of the sufferings of the comte
and absolutely ignorant of the terrors
of imprisonment in the bastile. Her
plan against De Sartines included the
release of De Lussac that evening and
it seemed to her that a few hours Of
Imprisonment more or less did not mat
ter. Assured of her power to free him,
she put De Lussac from her mind. De
Joyeuse, Madame de Stenlis, and Mad
anne d'Harlancourt she had dealt with
and punished sufficiently for their
! petty offenses; De Sartines alone oc-
cupied her thoughts. Her hatred for
De Sartines had become during the
last hour a passion; that word of in
suit spoken by him before De Richelieu
and the others had completed what his
acts had begun. Her heart held no
mercy for him.
When h arrived at her house she
dismissed the carriage. vas admitted
by Rosine, and went upstairs calling
on the maid to follow her.
Were Is Placide?" asked madame.
Ma fol, where indeed" replied Ros-
inc. I'm some cabaret most likely; he
went out at IL and now tits half past
two and he has not returned"
We'll. never mind him, but when he

Tonight, madame!"
Yes. tonight: n I give a small re-
ception ut g."
But, madame
"I know what you are going to say.
You need not trouble; there will be no
preparations or worry about food. Mon
sieur de Sartines will provide the en-
tertainment." Madame looked grimly
around her, then she went to her bu-
reau and wrote three notes while Ros-
inc stood by waiting.
