MOULTRIE, Jan. 27.-Fire be-
lieved to have been caused by de-
feet in the steam heating system
caused considerable damage to the
Colquitt county courthouse yester-

of the clerk of the Superior court,
which is located in the. southeast cor

firemen think, for several hours be
fore bursting out window. 1t took
nearly an hour to extinguish the
flames. The fire proof vault in the
clerks office protected all the valua-
BILE records, but the typewriters,
desks, cabinets, etc, were a complete
loss. The fire also burned its way
through the ceiling overhead, leaving
two holes in the floor of the main
auditorium on the second floor.
Work repairing the damage will
begin at once. It was stated that it
probably would be necessary to send

this morning returned a vardict OF
guilty withou. recommendation.
Dupre received the verdict calmly.
Judge Matthews passed sentence
and fixed March 10 as the date Of
the execution.
DuPre's case went to The jury at
$50 o'clock Friday night after four
hours of fervid argument in which he
was pictured Ly his cout sci as just
an ,,i9rng boz v tn not enough men-
tality to be criminal and in which
he was painted by the prosecution
as black murderer as had ever ap-
peared IN the crinnology Of fulton
county.
Whether excoriated or spoken Of
in plying terms, DuPre seemed to
take nothing that the lawyers said
very seriously to heart. During all
the speeches he remained with his
eyes fixed on the floor with change
less expression and uniform color.
His father, seated right back Of
him, seemed far more affected by the
oratory of counsel, and to all intents
and purposes the Peachtree bandit
was the least interested of the thou
sand spectators that crowded where
only hundreds can normally get to
watch his battle for life.
The courtroom was literally swarm-
ed with women all day.
