ments by relatives, Indicated suicide.
All details are e oected to be reveal
cd at the inquest which will be held

member of the county police force
and a cousin of the dead man, was
making a personal investigation.

Officials at the headquarters of
the j. L. Carroll Co., at Spring and
Harris streets, were without direct
information, but had conferred with
J. T. Carroll, the brother Of the
dead man who followed the ambu-
lance to Atlanta.
According to their information,
Mr.. Carroll shot himself while in
the nome of his brother. They could
assign no motive for such action
and declared that his affairs were in
the best of shape and that he had
appeared to be in the best of spirits
when he left the office Wednesday
afternoon.
w. II. Jentzen, brotherin-law of
J. T. Carroll, and a visitor in the
Carroll home, told reporters that Mr..
Carroll was found in a bedroom with
a gaping wound in his temple and
with pistol near his hand. He said
J. r. Carroll, Mrs. j. l.. Carroll and
himself reached the wounded man at
about the same time.
The wounded man made no state
ment, according to Mr.. JentZen.
Mr.. Jentzen stated also that he
could assign no motive for Mr.. Car
rolls suicide. He added that Mr..
Carrall a short time before had APP
parently been in good spirits, and
that so far as he knew Mr.. Carroll's
financial affairs were in the best of
shape.
The body was removed to H. M.
Patterson & Sons undertaking es-
Establishment, but at an early hour
Thursday afternoon no arrange
ments for the funeral had been made.
Mr.. Carroll is survived by his
widow, his mother, who resides a
Tucker, Ga, and three brothers, J
II. Carroll, of Chattahoochee; C. M.
Carroll, of Tucker, and M C. Car
roll, Of the same place.
Was Living with Brother
Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll had recently
moved to Chattahoochee, having, it
was stated, accepted the invitation of
j. Il. Carroll that they come and live
with him. Prior to that they resided
at 600 Piedmont avenue, having
boarded with Mrs. G.. P. Edmondson.
Mr.. Carroll was one of the best
known automobile accessory dealers
in Atlanta, and up until a few
months ago operated a number of
gasoline filling stations throughout
the city. He recently disposed of
those interests, however, and since
has devoted himself to the sale Of
tires and accessories

Women Preside

During the convention several
women were honored by presiding
temporarily over it's deliberations
and in announcing the results Of roll
calls. 1t was particularly gratifying
that three Georgia women distin-
guished themselves in handling SEN
ator Walsh's gavel and announcing
the vote. All of them hailed from
Marietta. Mrs. Ralph Northcutt.
wife of a well-known business man:
Mrs. Evelyn Clay Everett, daughter
Of the late Senator and Mrs. A. S.

ter of Judge Newton A. Morris. were
called to the rostrum by Senator
Walsh to preside temporarily, and
each did it in manner that was
entirely becoming and satisfactory to
the big assemblage.

RrYan'S Activity

William j. Bryan was perhaps the
most conspicuous figure among the
delegates, certainly he was one OF
the most active and conscientious
workers on the floor. Whether his
support hurt or helped McAdoo will
be a moot question always, but the
fact is that the McAdoo delegates
were delighted with Bryan's activity.
They welcomed his suggestions and
they accepted his aid. AS matter
Of fact, persons who thought that
Bryan hurt McAdoo were never for
McAdoo, anyhow, and Bryan was
just another additional reason" for
opposing McAdoo.

Although the combination had
failed, the McAdoo leaders still did
not abandon hope, and the most
heroic efforts were put forth to eff

ballot. But failure was their reward,
and it was apparent to them that
another splendid opportunity, if not

McAdOO and Mississippi

II is uldIleE OIL peESOudl hIOW1-
edge that McAdoo's failure to regis
ter over 500 votes during the early
stages of the balloting was due to
two apparently inconsequential cir
cumstances. After Missouri and
Oklahoma had broken away from
McAdoO, an agreement was reached
under which both Of these states
would return to the reservation pro-
vided Mississippi would cast her vote
for McAdoo.
The McAdoo leaders concentrated
on Mississippi and finally had the
delegation in line for McAdoo by a
majority of one-half vote. 1t was
planned to have Mississippi swim g
to McAdoo on the last ballot of an
afternoon session, so that McAdoo' S
strength would be we'll over 500 at
adjournment. Both Missouri and
Oklahoma had been polled and a ma
jority in each delegation had voted
to support McAdoo provided Missis-
sippi came through.
At this particular session, when
Mississippi was polled, it developed
that one Of the McAdoo delegates
had been suddenly called from the
hall, so that instead of throwing it's
20 votes to McAdoo the state again
voted for John w. Davis.
That night it was again arranged
to have Mississippi in line on the
last ballot before adjournment with
the understanding that Missouri and
Oklahoma would follow suit. There
were enough McAdoo votes in the
Mississippi delegation to swing it
over, but when Mississippi was
called on the roll the state passed,
thus leaving Missouri and Oklahoma
in doubt and in darkness as to what
to expect from Mississippi. Neither

Betting on Smith

Although few persons outside New
York believed that Governor Smith
ever had a chance of winning the
nomination, there were thousands in
New York who confidently expected
that he would be nominated. Many
of them backed their judgment with
money, and it cost them a pretty
penny.
Throughout a great part Of the
balloting the New York governor
was favorite in Wall Street bet
ting, and lots Of money was wagered
at one to two that he would be nomi-
mated. AS the balloting continued
the odds against Governor Smith
heightened two and half and three
to one. The California contingent
took much of the Smith money that
was offered, and it is estimated that
many of them more than won their
expenses across the continent, al
though their candidate was defeated.
Walsh Great Figure
Senator Thomas j. Walsh, of Mon
tana, was the outstanding figure of
the convention. AS permanent chair
man he more than sustained his
