NEW ARREST
IN HO[DUP
IS NEAR
County Police Reported on Trail
of Man Against Whom Evil
dence Is Strong.

New evidence which it is believed
will result soon in a new arrest
in the robbery of the n, c. and st. g..
passenger train is being Investigated
by the Fulton County police and
Sheriff Swanson, of Cobb County
Officials are reticent concerning the
new developments in the case, but il
was intimated Wednesday morning.
that if another suspect is arrested
ii will means the immediate release
OF James Nolan, who was arrested a
few minutes after the robbery was
committed and has since been he'd
on suspicion.
Tuesday afternoon Nolan was held
on bond of $4,000 to await the action
of the Cobb County Grand Jr1ry, by
Justice B. V. Greer, of Marietta.
Unusual activ y on the part of the
county police Wednesday morning in
duced the belief that the officials have
learned the name of the new suspect
for whom they are searching, and
that their efforts are now directed
toward locating him.
Nolan Is Elated.
Nolan and his counsel. Don X.
Johnsto, were elated Wednesday
over thu turn the case has taken, and
are confident that Nolan viii be
speedily released,
Il don't wish anyone any bad. luck. ="
Nolan said after his preliminary
hearing in Marietta Tuesday, but /
hope they get the right man. ! didn't
have anything to do with the holdup
and I'm getting tired of staying in
Jail"
Nolan declared that he regretted
that his attorney had waived pre-
limnary hearing before Justice Greer.
IF we had gone into the case in
Marietta" he said, Il would have
been free by this time. / had wit
nesses there to prove that | was in
Bolton only few minutes before the
robbery was committed, and that it
would have been a physical impossi-
bility for me to have got to Winnings
and boarded the train there"
Unable to Make Bond.
Mr.. Johnston stated that he waived
preliminary hearing because he had
come into possession of the new evi
dence upon which the county police
force and Sheriff Swansons forces are
at work, and if the case had come to
trial he would have been compelled to
disclose the identity of the new sus-
pect, which he says must not be done
until the man is placed under arrest.
Nolan was placed under bonds OF
81 900 by Justice Greer although the
attorneys for the railroad asked tina;
the bond be made $1,000, and Attor-
ney Johnston said it should not be
more than $4,000
Nolan declared that it did not make
any difference how high or how low
the bond was,
ITS all the same to me" he said,
"it is a million dollars or a hundred
collars. | couldn't make 1t in either
case"
Unless Nolan is released through
the arrest of a new suspect, he must
remain in Jail for six weeks, when the
Cobb County Superior Court meets

But Wouldn't 1t BE Tragic if the Gentle Feet
Of Joyous Season Were F'rostbitten!

Spring is in the air Spring is in the
earth. The balmy warmth of the
sunshiny days coaxes violets out of
the ground and children out Of the
houses to look for them.
Children follow the law that heat
expands. They burst out OF coats
and wraps and spread their chubby
arms toward the blue sky, and really
don't quite understand what is the
matter with them. that they should
feel so happy.
The little reddish brown buds on
the fruit trees also are following the
law of expansion. Some Of them in
fact, have exploded with fairy deto-
nations imperceptible to duh human

eyes with wealth OF white and
green OF that seductive spring fresh
ness seen only once in the whirl OF
the seasons.
The grizzled grass is being showed
aside by tender but enterprising little
green blades, and among them the
children find the soft purple vioets
star scattered like the forget
nots OF the angels in the infinite
meadows of heaven, that Mr.. Long
fellow wrote about
The gentle footsteps of spring ca

CHI. HAPPY

Gull Ty
Wife Yet To Be Tried on Charge
of Luring Seventeen-Year-
Old Mrs. Bond.

Samuel A. Stoe, former Pc
tiers street saloon keeper, was
found guilty by jury in the
Federal District Court Wednes-
day afternoon on three counts of
an indictment charging violation
of the Mann white slave act in
Transporting 17-year-old Mrs.
Annie Bond from Atlanta to
Birmingham for immoral pur-
poses.
Judge Newman sentenced Stoe to
five years in prison branding the rev.
Citations made IN the course of the
trial as horrible. He said that five
years was the least he could give I'M
der the circumstances.
Stoe took an appeal and furnished
va $4,000 bond. The case against his
wife was postponed until Monday.
Jury Out Twenty Minutes.
The jury was out twenty minutes.
While the twelve men were deliberat-
ing Stoe sat with bowed head, his
hands twitching nervously. His wife
sat beside him, sobbing. while the
youEg girl who made the charges
smiled and chatted with relatives who
sat with her. Stoe raised his head
when the jury returned, but only
binked his eyes and rubbed his hands
together nervously. when the verdict
was read. Mrs. Stoe went into hys-
terics, sobbing on her husbands
shoulder, while Mrs Bond smiled, and
said:
I'm glad"
The case went to the jury after At
torney Foster counsel for Stoe had
defended his client with a fervid
burst of oratory' in the closing period
OF his argument.
Judge Newman. in his charge to
the jury, declared that the case had
resolved itself into a matter where It
was necessary for the jury to take
their choice between the story of Stoe
and the story of the young girl. He
called the jury's. attention to the fact
that the age OF the girl added FIVE
years to Stoe's sentence if he were
found guilty.
District Attorney Alexander, in his
| closing argument, denounced Stoe a.
q "fend' and "ghouI." He said i.
Calls Stoes Hounds"
This girls story bears the hall
mark of truth Stoe has sought 10
discredit her, but, whatever she has
done, her guilt lies upon the Shout
ders of these fiends and ghouls who
| ruined her and boasted OF it--these
hounds who are fattening upon the
innocence Of the land"
Judge Newman ruled out much
testimony by witnesses for the de-
Tense Tuesday tending to show the
| bad character of Mrs. Bond, upon
the ground that his Interpretation
OF the Mann act is that the good or
bad character Of the prosecuting
witness has no bearing upon the
guilt or innocence OF the defendant
Similar interpretations Of the act
haze been made by Federal judges
in California and Kansas. The Kaif-
sas trial resulted in acquittal, the
California trial in conviction.

Had it not been for the fact that

merchant heard them fumbling at the

shots at the two men as they fed

Another Western man has come e
Charles Comfy to make his home with
us. Mr. aud Mrs. Foster NJ. Rseder
this week closed lease with Mr.. D.
H. Reeder for rental Of West Hattor
Farm for a term Of years
Mr.. D II. Reeder, our new nriehbor,
comes from Kansas City. Mo-, where
he was in the Piano business for mum.
her Of years. He is the father Of Mr..
Foster NJ. keeder. Of West Hatton f. I'm
and while he frankly acknowledges
that he knows very little about farm.
Ing, he feels that his long business ex-
perlence coupled with Intelligent man
agement and strict observance OF the
more modern methods Of Agriculture,
should enable him to bring up this
handsome old farm to its old-time
production.
Mr.. Reeder visited bis children at
West Hatton last summer, and whiIe
there became deeply interested in the
possibilities Of this old Estate, so much
SO that when Mr.. and Mrs. Foster
Reeder urged him TO come down To
Charles County and take bold Of the
farm for them, he went back to Kansas
City, talked the matter over with his
wife and finally concluded to give up
his interest there and come to Charles
County.
Mr. Reeder has been at West Hatton
since the first of the year, and already
the old place is showing signs Of re
markable improvement under his eff
Gent management. This spring he had
two Artesian wells bored on the pla. e;
built large Eve room tenant house for
hands, almost entirely rebuilt one Of
the Cottages on the place in which he
has taken up his residence.
Charles county farmers will be much
interested in watching the outcome Of
an experiment that Mr.. Reeder is max
ing this year with Sweet Closer, that
much talked of Soil Improver and HAY
Crop which has roused so much inter
est of late years in the West, and bids
fair to rival Alfalfa. He has sowed
thirty acres of the poorest land on the
farm with Sweet Glover (Melilotus) this
year and spite the fact that not much
moisture has prevailed as was desirable
the plants are coming up in fine shape.
Mr.. Reeder will probably commence
farming the entire estate next year
with hands, instead Of by the old tenant
method that has prevailed at West Hat
ton for several years. He is at present
employing about eight hands at plant
Jog, grnbbing fence lines, putting up
fences, and getting the various fields in
shape for the future.
Mr.. Reeder is man of fine character
aud we Welcome him to Dear Old
Charles county.
