NO DECEPTION
IN LAND DEAL
JURY'S VERDICT

1t took a jury in the City Court
only ten minutes today to reach a
verdict in a case which required the
better part of ten days to try. 1t was
the case of w. H. Scarborough vs.
George D. Wheatley and W. M. An
drews for the recovery by Mr., Scar
borough of 5000 paid in real estate
dead and which, he claimed, was OBJ
tained by fraud and deceit. The
verdict of the jury was in favor Of
the defendant.
The dispute grew out of the pnr-
chase b. Mr.. Scarborough of the
Mrs Speight place, embracing l65
acres of land near Mr.. Scarborough's
store just west of the city, for a
price of $4,000. The defendants
were the agents IN the deal. Although
their usual commission was 5 per
cent, or S4OO on the price OF SS,UOO
they secured from Mrs. Speight, the
owner, a special price of $7,400 Civ
ing them a commission of 5000, which
they divided Mr.. Scarborough con
tended that Mrs. Speight granted the
agents this price, 5000 lower than the
figure she first set, on the represent
alton that the acreage was short, and
therefore, he also was entitled tc
this reduction.
The case was vigorously fought
with numerous exhibitions of person.

This embodies one of the largest vir-
gin pine tracts in Georgian and is
said to have brought the estate, on
the best of it, over one hundred dol
lars per acre.
The deal involves a million dollars,
if information reaching here is accu-

D. B. Leonard and since his death,
some ten years ago has still been
preserved,
Mr.. Barfeld is a lumber manufac-
turer of considerable means and bus
mess ability. The extreme high val

MACON UNABLE
TOOUST DEFIANT
UNION FORCES

MACON, September 17.-(By As
sociated Press. )-The union police
men and fremen still stood firm to-
day in their refusal to obey the or
der of the city civil service commits
sion that they dissolve their unions
or resign Lieut.. Martin Thompson,
who holds a union card, has been
promoted to chief of police follow
ing the resignation of Chief War
ren McWilliams.
Chief McWilliams handed his
resignation to the civil service COM
mission yesterday afternoon. He re-
tired from the department, declin-
ing to take a position as patrolman,
1t was understood
Two hours before he handed in his
resignation Chief Williams stated to
a reporter: ''This is a strenuous
situation for me. Some people are
trying to make it unpleasant for me,
and if it were not for the effort
to embarrass me I would step down
and out. But am going to stick
it through"
Patrolmen and fremen continued
on duty throughout yesterday, refus-
ing to turn in the badges or their
union cards.. The policemen declar-
ed they would not resign and would
patrol their beats even though their
clubs and badges were taken from
them. The fremen said they would
continue to fight fires and would not
give up.
Following the proposition of the
American Legion to take care of the
policing of the city in case the serv-
ices of its members are needed, the
Macon Fire Underwriters yesterday
voted to man the fire trucks of the
city in case the necessity arises.
The civil service commission pass
ed the de-unionizing problem to the
city council last night, asking that
mat body endorse the resolution
adopted by the commissioners.
City council met at 1880 o'clock
and promptly refused to take any
action on the resolution. The coun-
ell held that the civil service com
mission had full authority under the
law to act under the resolution;
that it alone is responsible for the
nring and hiring of members of the
force.

BOSTON STRIKE LEADER
SAW SERVICE IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, September 17.-John
F. McInnes, leader of the Boston Po-
licemen's Union, now on a strike,
was formerly commander of the At

first lieutenant of infantry who was
widely known in Atlanta.
Lieutenant McInnes, before re.
ceiving a commission in the late
war, was a veteran of the Philip
pines and the Spanish American war,
and was detective lieutenant on the

there was held open for him during

acterized by his strictness and he
made a reputation in the army as
