T ATLANTA, March 3O.-The New
ton County Grand Jury, probing into
the deaths of eleven negroes on the
plantation of John Williams today
diverted its attentions to the activities
OF the three sons of Williams.
1t is charged, according to advices
reaching Hugh NJ Dorsey, that these
three have conspired to arraign New

effort to strengthen their fathers de-
tense.
An important witness is said to be
held in Newton county who will say
the three offered him bride to give
false testimony.
1t is reported that the three men
have fled from their homes but the
report is not verified.
The first statement coming from a
member of the family of John S. Will
hams, a prosperous Jasper County
farmer who is being held with Clyde
Manning negro, in the Fulton coun-
ty Jail in Atlanta in connection with
the alleged murder of eleven negroes
on the Williams farm, was made to-
day by DIR. Gus Williams, practic-
ing physician Of McDonough, Ga, and
the eldest son of the Jasper farmer,
when he paid a visit from the farm
to this city and BRIEFLY engaged in
cnversation with some of his friends.
DIR. Williams openly bemoaned the
alleged Staying of the eleven negroes
on his fathers farm and stated that
he had come to Monticello from his
home in McDonough to be with his
mother and his three brothers. The
physician during the conversation
never mentioned his father nor did he
go into any details as to how or why
the alleged crimes were comitted.

mig two others whose negligence in
storing fire works is believed respon-

Scores were hurt when an unex-
planned explosion blew to pieces a
warehouse about two miles southwest
OF the downtown district.
Police theories of the cause rang
ed through bombing, faulty gas
mains, starch and flour dust to fire
works. The building, a one-story
brick structure, was filled with gro.
Gerry stocks, but the police also
learned that quantity of fireworks
had been stored in the basement.
The conclusion was so greet that
timbers and bricks were thrown
hundreds of feet, and windows in a
department store several blocks away
were shattered. In the immediate
vicinity of the warehouse scarcely a
pane of glass was left intact, porches

ATLANTA, March 30.-Upon ap-
plication of Colonel B. L. Bugg, re-

II, Sibley handed down an order
Tuesday afternoon authorizing the
issuance of note for $125,0OO, with
which to pay the former EMPLOYEES
OF the railway company who are now
out of the service of the company
on strike.
This money, it was officially ex-
planned, if obtained, will be used for
the payment of the former employ
ees, whose money was denied them
on last pay day, because of INSULT
Gent funds The men now on strike
will be paid in full up to the time
they left the service of the road, on
March S. The last pay day when
train service and other EMPLOYEES
now out of the service because of
the strike, would have received their
pay under ordinary conditions was
March IS. The company was I'M
able to raise the money, however, BE-
cause of reduced revenue consequent
to the strike.

er for the A., B. & A. railway, will
receive their money in regular order,
according to the scale of pay set by
the federal court, and it was stated
that there would be no variation from
this scale. No one, it is declared, has
any right to make variation from
the wage scale set by the court for
the employees of the receiver of the
A., B. & A., and it was pointed out
that there would be no bonuses or
other changes in the published wage
scale, I'VE can pay the employees
just what the court said we could"
said an official, land we have to pay
them that scale, no more and no less"
The application of the receiver
for permission to borrow on a note
$l25000, it was stated, was because
OF inability to meet the back pay of
the former employees through any
other source.
