table under which Mattox, by this
time, was hiding. Deputy Woodward

HOUSE UNSEATS
TWO MEMBERS.
1875 To 81
Close Fight Looked for Does Not
Develop, Although the De-
bate Is Warm.

The House Of Representatives by
a vote Of 1876 to 81 to-day unseated
Representatives Macarthur of Wheel
er, and Browning, Of Bleckley
The two were named In special
elections to represent their two newly
created counties. A special commit
tee declared they were unconstitu-
tionally elected and could not he seat
ed without endangering the entire
proceedings OF the General Assembly.
The members under fire made a brave
night to hold on TO their seats and for
a time IL looked as If there was a
fair chance that the House might re-
tain them.
The acts creating Wheeler and
BleCkley ran the total membership OF
the House TO 1856. The Constitution
SAYS IT must not exceed 1874 This.
together with the Illegal manner OF
McArthur's and Brownings elections,
turned the scale against them.
Hard Fight Made.
The fight to save Macarthur and
Browning was the first big fireworks
display OF the present session.
Olive of Richmond, Myrick Of Chat
ham and Pickett Of Terrell made
forceful and eloquent speeches in be
half OF the members whose seats
were challenged Slater OF Bryan.
Hardeman Of Jefferson and Black
burn Of Fulton were equally as in
sistent upon unseating them. For two
hours Wednesday the debate ragged.
This is the first case of the kind
ever thrashed out In the Georgia
Legislature, and II undoubtedly will
affect the many new county prop
ositions profoundly
Such new ones as are admitted at
the present session will be admitted
under conditions radically different
from those prescribed for Wheeler
and BleCkley.
Will Remedy Defect,
The two counties denied representa-
ton in the present Legislature may
send representatives to the next, as
there win be time TO remedy the
present difficulty. At the present ses-
sion they will be represented by the
representatives from Montgomery
and Pulaski, the two counties from
which they were taken.
Personally the two ousted members
have many friends and the House
undoubtedly would like to have seat
ed them. If it might have seated them
legally.

his statement.
Professor Charlton has established
what he claims is an alibi. When
seen Tuesday night he declared that
the charges were absolutely false;
that he left the church on the night
in question after $3.50 o'clock, met
Miss Edith Howell the church or
eanist, at Oglethorpe Street, spoke to
her. and then walked on to his home
on Rembert Avenue Mrs. Jenkins

at the corner of the Lester home

Mrs. Lester Charges Malice.
Mrs Lester also denies the charges
IN most vigorous terms. She declared
Tuesday night that she did not talk
to Professor Charlton over the phone
as alleged by Mrs. jenkins, and did
not see him at all.
TIE charge of Mrs. Jenkins and
others, she says, is simply a case Of
malicious SANDER, as she has had
nothing to do with Mrs. Jenkins for
more than year
