Patrolman Jake Stages, charged
with the murder of Maury Tomlinson
on Friday morning, July 20, was re-
leased this morning from the county
jail where he has been held since the
killing under bond in the sum of $5,-
10000.
Attorneys in the case agreed after
a consultation among themselves, as
to the amount of bond to be required
and the preliminary trial before T. M.
Jones, set for this morning was waiv-
ed -s--..
The trial was set for 10 o'clock, and
long before that hour people from
every nook and Granny of the county
were pouring into town. BY 10
o'clock the circuit court room was
filled to capacity. Every seat was
filled and men and women stood in
the aises and around the walls and
in the windows and waited.
An hour passed but neither the
court or attorneys had appeared in
the court room but the crowd waited
patiently When one person would
leave the court room, others would
squeeze themselves into the space
left vacant by his departure.
In the meantime the defendant
Stages had been taken to the office
of Hon. j. c. VOORHEES,, who with X. ).
Hopkins will conduct the defense.
Here the attorneys in the case gath
cred to discuss the preliminaries and
the amount of the bond to be requir-
ed ....-.. L..-.-..
1t was finally decided that bond in
the sum of $1,000 would be mutually
agreeable to both the state and de-
Tense, and this fact was communicate
ed to Esquire Jones who fixed upon
this amount.
The bond was quickly made, and
Mr. Stages was released after one
weeks Imprisonment.
The crowd assembled in the court
house this morning was orderly IN
every respect. The feeling MANIFEST
ed during the early hours after the
shooting apparently had disappeared
and no disorder of any kind was noted

| MISS OLIVIA STONE
NOT COLUMBIA NURSE
WOMAN WHO KILLED CINCINNATI
LAWYER is NOT GRADUATE OF
LOCAL HOSPITAL.
(From Mondays Daily Herald.)

Ut bdliy
Miss Olivia M. P. Stone, trained
nurse who shot and killed Ellis Guy
Kinkhead, corporation attorney, in
Brooklyn, is not graduate of the
Kings Daughters hospital here, and
according to officials of that institu
ton has never been connected with
the hospital. as stated in the report of
the Nashville morning paper today.
The Nashville paper seems to have
confused the names of Miss Olivia
Stone with Miss Clara Stone. Miss
Clara Stone has been with the King s
Daughters hospital, and left here on
Sunday. July 81 for New York, where
she is taking special work in the hos
pitfalls there.
According to Miss Erastus Crabtree,
superintendent of the Kings Daugh-
tiers hospital, Miss Olivia Stone is I'M
known here. Miss Clara Stone was
never at any time nurse at Hunts
Vile. Ala, ror was she a nurse In
Cincinnati and this. is her first trip
to New York.
The entire rerort in the Nashville
paper is incorrect insofar as 1t con-
Germs the Kings Daughters hospital.

and Mrs. Kilroy saw a light in the
rear OF the store. but as this was not
Unusual they went back TO bed.
They had scarcely reached their
rooms when a still heavier explosion
sroused the neighborhood. No one.
however. seems to have suspected
burglars. and il was not until later
IN the morning that Mr.. Jenness
learned that burglars had forced his
store.
An inspection Of the premises
made by the police revealed that en-
tEance 10 the store had been made
by way Of the alley leading to the
rear OF the building from Orange
street.. Here a dumb waiter. used by
the apartments above, furnished easy
entrance 10 the basement, the thieves
simply pulling the ropes and hoist
ing the elevator a few feet, then
dropping into the basement. Once
-on the inside the burglars went up
tho cellar stairway 20 the floor above,
took panel out OF the door leading
to the cigar store. Evidently they
we're intent only on opening the safe
,as nothing was disturbed In the cigar
ESre or the adjoining pool room.
Going TO a small room back Of the
pool room. they next bored a hole
through the stout iron door and in
serting some explosive ignited the
fuse. The first attempt falling. an
other hole was bored and the heavier
charge inserted and exploded. At
. this juncture Il is thought the move
ments OF the Kilroy family and the
light in the bathroom, which over
. looks the room containing the safe,
scared the men away.
The outer doors OF the safe were
. blown open, the handles wrenched
of. but the attempt 10 secure a con-
siderable amount Of money supposed
. to have been stored there failed.
Just why the burglars failed to
examine the store cash register Is
not known. but the oversight saved
Mr.. Jenness SIS. beside the cost OF
repairs. This morning Mr.. Jenness
said that as he was kept in the store
late Saturday night the money was
not placed in the safe as usual In
1.-The cigar store register there was
about SIS. and at least $40 in the
pool room safe. Another report
said $4,000 was in one safe. No
attempt was made to open either Of
these.
Everything points to the suspicion
that the burglars we're well acQuaint-
ed with the store. The custom Of the
proprietor in placing the money in
the safe at night, and the failure OF
the burglars to even examine the
cash registers. satisfies the police
that the burglars were familiar with
Mr.. Jenness' habits in handling the
iay's receipA -.------.-----.--
