No MAN LEAVES
SECRET WILL
UNEXPLAINED
Mystery in Fort Case Unsolved
by Testimony of the Contest
ing Stenographer.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 2S-Miss
Lizzie II. Carroll, stenographer, who
is resisting the claims of heirs to the
estate of Colonel Tomlinson Fort in
the case now being heard in Chan
Gerry Court here, made no effort to
reconcile the claim of a secret will
with Colonel Forts known habits of
extreme carefulness in recording
everything he did.
Miss Carroll frankly admitted re-
membering that Colonel Fort, who
was in the habit of keeping records
of even the checks he had drawn
many years before, went to Atlanta
III November, 1910, to attend to bust
ness in connection with the estate of
the late julius Brown, and that he did
not, so far as she knew, bring back
with him any copy of a deed. The
secret deed on which she is basing her
claims is alleged to have been die
tated to Mrs. Blanche Davidson. then
public stenographer in an Atlanta
hotel
Miss Carroll did not attempt to re-
sist the efforts of counsel for the
heirs to show the improbability of
secret or unrecorded action like this
on the part of Colonel Fort. In other
matters, she said. Colonel Forts
methods were such that it would have
been possible for one to go to his
records and get complete history of
any transaction, legal or social, in
which he had engaged during the
twenty years before his death that
she was employed in his office. Why
he might have taken this action in
the case of the secret deed she did
not attempt to explain.
Miss Carroll identified an envelope
bearing the return address of the late
Senator Joseph NJ. Terrell, of Allan
ia, as the one in which the mystic
rious deed of November 5, 1910, came
to the Chattanooga postoffice.
After Miss Fort had replied final
ly Il think | did" to insistent ques-
tons whether or not she had stated
that Colonel Forts spirit held fire.

ton was entered and was sustained

Wood Block Firm
Guilty Of Polluting
Stream by Creosote

Officials of the Southern Wood
Preserving Company manufacturers
of creosote paving, awaited Wednes-
day the imposition of a fine for pol
luting the waters of a stream tribu-
tary to Lakewood, a charge on which
the company had been convicted the
day before in Judge Hills court.
The practice of allowing the creo-
sote to empty into the stream has
been going on four or five years, ac-
cording to A. E. Binder, a game war
den, who was active in bringing the
case against the company.
Regardless of whether the creosote
is poisonous. it is said that, floating
on the water, is fatal to the fish, as
it excludes the oxygen and the FISH
in the course of time are suffocated.
