WHICH HELD EXPLOSIVE
The detectives say they have evi
nce which Indicates that they will
shortly be hble to confront with proof
of his crime, the man who sent the In
fernal machine to the McCarthy home.
Although the ofllcers are reticent
concerning this evidence, they say they
hove the name of a witness who Is re-
-oried to have declared that he knows
.PM man who had In his possession such
"C,s that sent to Miss McCarthy.
The name of this witness has not been
siKlosed. Detectives Simpson and
Campbell, who are working on the mys-
Sry will hold n conference with this
witness during the day,
Fred Bush, the young man held ut
-otic# headquarters, denies that he has
Ker been In love with Mlsa McCarthy,

h *Mlss McCarthy stated to a Georgian
reporter Thursday morning that some
time ago she quarrelled with Bush, and
that since that time he had not been to
her house. Bush says he had never
Seen to see Miss McCarthy but about
three times In two years, and the young
woman corroborates this statement.
Miss McCarthy was disinclined to
discuss her quarrel with Bush, saying
it was about a ''business" matter. Later
she admitted, with a smile, that It was
"personal business."
Miss McCarthy's Story.
Miss McCarthy said:
"I was horrified and surprised when
I learned of the explosion. I am unable
to say who sent the box to the house,
and why anyone should have wanted to
kill me. If Mr. Bush sent the box I am
Ignorant of his reasons. He never came
to see me but three or four times and I
have never had the slightest Intimation
that he was Jealous. We have no other
enemies and I- don’t/ know of anyoqe
and gave her ticket to my» 15-year-old
brother, John. We three went to the
theater, leaving mother and the two
younger children at home.
“As to the explosion, I know only
what mother told me. About 10 o'clock
she aays she heard the door bell ring
down stairs, and, on answering It, found
a messenger boy with a package. The
package was addressed to me, my name
having been written on a typewriter.
Mother went back upstairs Into the
hallway, and, thinking the package was
a box of candy for me, unwrapped It,
finding It to be a wooden box, with a
key In It. She then unlocked the box
and raised the lid. A terrific explo
slon Instantly followed.”
Bush Makes Statement.
Bush made the following statement to
The Georgian Thursday morning at the
police station:
“I am entirely Innocent of this charge
against me. I know nothing of any In
fernal machine and had no connection
with It whatever. I was not a sweet
heart of Miss McCarthy and have never
been In love with her. Her mother, who
conducts a store, has had business
dealings with my firm and I became
acquainted with the family through
this means. I have called at the house
only about three or four times In two
years and have never tried to marry
Miss McCarthy. I had no reason to
want to kill her or her mother."
Bush was taken Into custody shortly
before midnight by Sergeant Lanford
and Detectives Simpson and Campbell
at his room, 101 1-2 Whitehall streit,
which room Is also occupied by Doolit
tle. Bush declares he left his store at
i25 South Broad street about 7:30
o’clock and retired between 8 and D
o'clock. When asked at to his move
ments after leaving the store, he said:
“I first went to a saloon on Broad
street, near Alabama, and took a glass
wko would want to commit such a hor- j of beer. I then walked around on Ala-

A man aged about 50 years, who gave
his name as Oliver, when arrested on
a United States charge some weeks
ago, died In the Fulton county Jail
Thursday morning. He was arrested
and charged with cleaning used stamps
and selling them for new ones. It Is
believed that the name Oliver Is a 11c
tltlous one.
His body was removed to the under
taking establishment of Harry G. Poole
to be held, while on effort Is made to

A protest against this proceeding,
made by the prisoners, was carried to
the- United States supreme court, which
decided against them and cleared the
way for the state to proceed with

chair before he was killed. The miners
say lie hod passed from their minds

That the board went Into executive
session Wednesday afternoon to dis
cuss and investigate rumors and state
ments which connected the namo
Thomas F. Stocks with tho purchase
coal for the waterworks, Is practically
admitted by tho fact that no denial has
come forth from anybody.
Will Give Out Nothing.
None of those present at this secret
session would give out any statement,
and so positive information relative
what was done and what was said was
hard to secure. But some of this
known.
Commissioner Hugh Dorsey moved
that the board go into executive sea
slon. This done, the secretary, Z. D.
Smith, was called upon to read some
correspondence between the water
works officials and the president of tho
Ragland Coal Company, on which cor
respondence Is based the rumor of the
alleged connection of Commissioner
Stocks with the Ragland Coal Com
pany.
It Is said that the Ragland Coal Com
mny, when charged with not furnish
ng coal to the department as contract
ed, replied, through the president, W.
T. Brown, that It was not throu
fault of the company, but of the
Coal Company, with which the Ragland
made a deal relative to the furnishing
of coal.
Denial of Contract.
This, it Is said, brought on further
correspondence. The Stocks Coal Com
pany Is said to have dented making any
such contract. Tho Ragland Company
Is said to have stated. In a subsequent
letter, that such a contract had been
made through Thomas F. Stocks, sec
retary and treasurer.
Commissioner Stocks denied any
such connection with the Ragland Coal
Company at the executive meeting, and
Is reported to have agreed to a full
investigation.
Commissioner Hugh Dorsey, It Is
said, moved that W. T. Brown, presi
dent of the Ragland Coal Company,
be Invited to appear before the board
to explain this correspondence.
This motion' was carried and the
board adjourned. President Brown will
be unable, it Is reported, to be here
In less than two week* because of ur
gent business engagements.
To Make Investigation,
While Mr. Stocks will not give out
any statement, his friends, both social
and In business, who are many, are
confident that the Investigation will
not show him In an Improper light.
Commissioner Stocks was elected In
December, 1903, for a term of three
years, and last December was re-elect
ed for another term of three years.
He has been a constant attendant at
board meetings, and has taken an ac
tive Interest In the affairs of the de
partment. He has always been consid
ered one of the moat faithful and valu
able members of the board.
The waterworks department has
contract with the Ragland Coal Com-
lany to furnish coal for 32.35 a ton.
-ast year the department used 12,000
tons, at a cost of 323,120.
A resolution was Introduced by Hugh
Dorsey at the executive session of the
water board, calling for another meet
ing of the board on May If at I o'clpek,
for the purpose of looking into the
charges against Thomas F. Stocks. The
resolution requested F. Al. Stocks,
resident of the Stocks Coal Company;
Jhnmas F. Stocks, secretary and treas
urer, and member of the board, and
W. T. Brown, president of the Ragland
Coal Company, to attend. It Is possi
ble that the date will be changed, as It
said President Brown can not be
here on May 15.
