Notary Public Denies Recollection
F.. Of Af6xing Seal to Mysterious
Atlanta Document.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. S0,-Accu-
mulating evidence in attack upon the
genuineness of the mysterious At
lanta deed of gift by which Colonel
Tomlinson Fort is alleged to have
conveyed the bulk of his 100000 es-
tate to his stenographer, Miss Lizzie
H. Carroll, attorneys for the Fort heirs
to-day introduced witnesses to prove
that the deed was a forgery.
The chief witness was L. NJ
Thomas, a Notary Public of Chatta-
nooga. Although the deed of gift to
which Colonel Forts name appears
bears on its face the seal of L. NJ
Thomas. as Notary Public, Thomas
to-day swore that he had no recollec-
ton of ever having placed this seal
on the deed. Elaborate testimony
was introduced regarding the manner
of making the seals In the effort g
prove the ease with which a forgef
might have changed the die so as TO
make the date conform with that of
the deed.
The testimony of A. H. Coddington,
assistant United States Attorney Cor
the Southern District of Georgia, and
of an Atlanta investigator regarding
statements made by Mrs. Blanche
Davidson. Atlanta stenographer, was
concluded to-day. Mrs. Davidsons
alleged statements indicated that she
had nothing to do with the deed of
gift.

that the hearing would continue Sat-

Talley Friday for the shooting of
William Blackstock last May, Judge
Ben Hill, of the criminal division of
the Superior Court. told the prison

that the community would be better
off if it were rid of both Talley of
Blackstock.
Your bad character is a matter
Of public notoriety," said the jurist.
Talley was tried upon an accusa-
ton of assault to murder, but upon
the recommendation of the jury the
charge was reduced to a misdemea-
nor. He was sentenced to serve
twelve months in the stockade or pay
a fine of 5000.

Committee Working Daily on

The regional bank committee has
something up its sleeve.
For the last week meetings have
been held almost daily. The sessions
are executive" and all that is given
out is TO the effect that a great lot of
detail work is being done, by way of
presenting the organization board, at
the hearing in Atlanta, with all the
information and statistics it may de-
sire.
And not only that.
BY the time the organization board
reaches Atlanta" said one of the
members of the Joint committee Fri
day, the members will have found
out lot of things they want to know
that they hadn't thought to ask about
at the first hearings in New York and
Boston.

In other words, they will be m
good practice. and it's up to us to get
together line of information that will
not fall away and leave us stranded
when some new question pops US.
Furthermore, it is fact that we
hope to show the board in Atlanta
something in the way of statistics
that VIII lay over anything any other
city has yet offered. For that rea-
son, we are not giving out any par
ticulars as to our work-not yet.
There's no sense in tipping off a good
hand-and we know we hold the
cards. We are going to show the or
ganization board something new"
Also, the organization board is to

LESTER OPPOSES
ANDERSON FOR
POLICE BOARD
Seventh Ward Counci|men to
Support Former, Complaining
Race for Chairman.

Following the announcement that
friends of Marcellus M. Anderson
were urging him as successor to
Carlos H. Mason, chairman of the
Police Commission, bitter fight has
developed in Council over the re-
election Of Mr.. Anderson as Seventh
Ward Police Commissioner.
1t will be recalled that in Deem
Der Council snapped places between
Mr.. Anderson, Seventh Ward mem
Der of the Board of Education, and
J. y. McEachern, Seventh Ward Po-
lice Commissioner. Knowing that
Mr.. McEachern was ineligible to
succeed himself as Police Commits
sioner when the election should come
up in March, the Seventh Ward dele
gates to the 1914 Council had de-
termined on Fred Lester as the man
for the place.
To Support Lester.
The Seventh Ward delegation at a
conference Thursday decided that
they would stand by Lester, despite
Andersons candidacy for reelection.
For Council to elect Anderson will
require the overriding of the long
established precedent of allowing the
ward delegations in Council to name
the board members from their wards.
Friends of Anderson claim that they
have Is votes for him in Council out
side of the Seventh Ward delegation.
Members of the Seventh Ward dele.
cation assert they don't believe it.
AS the reelection of Mr.. Anderson
would mean a new fight against Com
missioner w. P. Fain, of the Second
Ward, for the craftsmanship Fain's
friends are very much interested in
the Councilmanic vote. Fain's friends
are confident he will be chosen TO
succeed Mason.
Budget Involved
The fight also has a bearing on the
controversy over the budget. A new
caucus has been called by the oppo-
nents of the budget for Thursday aft
ernoon. Alderman Jesse Armistead
and Councilman S. L. Dallas, of the
Seventh Ward, are supporting the
caucus program. But they are threat
ening to bolt the caucus if they are
not assured that their nomination for
Police Commissioner is sustained.
Their threat has weight for the Off
cials leading the caucus fight are the
same men backing Marcellus Ander-
son for reelection to the Police
Commission and then chairman Of
the Commission
