noon.
The three victims are Jesse Sum
ner and Ebert and Robert Gay
brothers.
The evidence shown at the coron-
er's inquest late last night in which
a verdict of murder. was brought
against young Williams, was to the
effect that the three victims were al
legged by young Williams to have
made some remark about the latter S
mother, which was taken by Williams
as an insult.
Yesterday afternoon about l
o'clock when Sumner and the Gay
boys passed the Williams home they
were hailed and words passed be-
tween members of the Williams fam
lily, and the three young men.
Evidence at the inquest was to the
effect that young Preston Williams
went to the house while the alterca-
ton was on, and returned shortly
with shotgun.

on the three as they were driving
away, emptying both barrels into
their backs. Bukshot was used. Sum
ner and Robert Gay died almost in
stantly, and Elbert Gay died this
morning. Young Williams was ar
rested at 10 o'clock last night.

of where H. E. Bostwick, three years
ago killed five officers when they
were attempting to arrest him and
had to be finally shot down by the
military.

POSTPONE FRANK HEARING.
Arguments on Annulment Motion to
Be Heard May 18th.

Atlanta, Ca, May 3.-Argument
on the motion to annul the verdict
returned against Leo NJ. Frank, for
the murder of Mary Phagan, the fac
tory girl, was postponed until next
Saturday by B. H. Hill, superior court
Judge. Hugh M. Dorsey, solicitor
general, asked the postponement Or
the part of the State, saying ne had
hot had time to prepare the prosecu-
tion's reply to the motion.
Annie Maud Carter, negress, who
recently made an affidavit rejecting
upon James Conley, the convicted
negro accessory in the famous case,
was questioned by Judge Hill to-day
as she left Atlanta after making her
affidavit. The negress said she had
been sent away under the direction
of William J. Burns and Dan Lehon,
two detectives.
Both Burns and Lehon have been
summoned to appear IN superior
court next Tuesday to show cause
why they should not be adjudged in
contempt of court for their alleged
action. Burns, who is reported to
be in New York at present, has been
prominently connected with an in
vestigation of the murder and has
held that the convicted man is inno-
cent.
Counsel for the defendant are ask
ing that the guilty verdict be set
aside because they claim the consti-
tutional rights of Frank were vio-
lated when he was allowed to be alb
sent from the court room when the
verdict was returned.

Of a day came news: The lid is
on. The city has been closed up
tight The Judge, who was an ap-
pointee of liquor governor, had
gone along 'tsafe' for years. Occas-
ionally well-staged spasms of re-
form had been created to keep the
temperance people within bounds
At no moment was the saloon element
deceived. They knew the game, and
had a perfect understanding with the
higher political powers. And all the
SOPHISTICATED church men also knew
the game perfectly we'll. They were
sick at heart that the judge, a re-
spectable church-going man, who
was the key to the entire situation,
should thus play low politics with
the moral welfare Of the city.
Recently the judges wife was rid
ing in a street car. Seated behind
her were two unknown men, to whom
she was a stranger. They were talk
ing over a current squirt of temper
ance sentiment. With gusto they
rehearsed the part the judge was
playing. At length and in detail
they went over the judges political
history and his present affiliations
and allegiance The dazed woman
heard every word, and learned for
the first time side of her husbands
life which was really common proper
ty, although wholly unknown to her.
A torrent of new emotions-horror,
Indignation, dishonor, humiliation
and shame-surged through the
heart of this godly wife and mother,
as she hastily left the street car and
sought her own home,
The code calls for tears and re-
| proaches here, and the role of the
outraged wife. But this woman
came of sturdy fighting stock. Her
real piety was leagued with vigorous
common sense. Hence her unconyen-
! tional course. Her first action was
| to telephone to the court room for
her husband.
He is on the bench, trying case,
| and cannot be ,disturbed,' came the
answer
L am his wife 1t is of the ut
| most importance that l speak with
him instantly"
There was no withstanding that,
| and soon the judge was on the wire.
A solemn voice greeted him with:
You must come home right away.
| | must see you at once"
But, my dear, l am in the midst
of a case. l simply cannot come
| now"
Nothing is important enough to
keep you from coming home at once.
Everything depends on it. Dismiss
the case for the day and adjourn the
court. Do not delay a moment"
Conjuring up all sorts of dreadful
domestic calamities, but never once
| suspecting the truth, the frightened
| Judge made all speed to his home.
