Bartlett, Frazer & Co: Look for lower

permanently of advances in corn.
Clement, Curtis & Co.: Corn has more
merit than wheat but should wheat develop
weakness it might be well to accept moder-
ate profits in corn.
Harris Winthrop & Co.: Wheat news con-
tinues bearish. Weather conditions are much
better for corn.
Stein, Alstein & Co.: Wheat is in debat-
able ground. Corn looks strong.
Lowitz & Co.: Believe profitable sales of
wheat can be made on bulges but favor pur-
chases of December corn on minor sethacks.

arm.
Imperial Wizard Evans likewise
was reported away from Atlanta.
Many Heard Shots
The shots fired into Captain
Coburns body were heard by many
occupants of the Atlanta Trust
company building, and FoX's flight
from the Coburn office was halted
on the eighth floor, it is said, by At
torney George Spence, his brother,
Nat Spence, Mr.. Rogers and George
w. Allen, an insurance man.
Hearing the shots, Nat Spence
rushed into the hall, followed by
his brother, and the two saw Fox
coming down the stairs, it was
stated Tuesday. Nat Spence said he
placed his hand on Fox's shoulder,
whereupon the khan editor said:
TIL do anything you say"
Fox was taken into an office to
await the arrival of police.
Mir. Coburn was shot through the
temple and abdomen, dying almost
instantly Seated in his office at
the time were Mrs. Oscar Heyman,
client, of 16 Willow street, and
:1rs. Holbrcok the stenographcr.
The first bullet from Fox's gun, ac-
cording to Mrs. Heyman, shattered
the writing slide of the Gecf on
which her arm was resting, and the
last bullet passed over her head.
Mrs. Heylnan said Fox fired without
warning, after he had come into the
office, learned that Captain Coburn
was engage d, had left and then re-
appeared suddenly.
The police investigation showed
that Fox went to the Hotel Ansley
about noon Monday and asked for
a room, saying he wanted to clean
up. He paid the rent until o'clock
or checking out time. He carried
no baggage and a search of the room
after the shooting disclosed moth
ing except a package of cigarettes.
Ralph A!tmeier, a clerk at the
Ansley, said Fox seemed normal in
every way. 1t was learned also
that Fox later in the day arranged
for the purchase of an automobile
The next check on FOX's move
ments, as shown by the police in
vests ton, was when he appeared
at Captain Coburns office while the
attorney was talking over the teIe-
phone. Mrs. w. A. Holbrook, of 1926
Stewart avenue, StenOgrapher IN
the office, said Fox entered the of
