the can and cursed the strike-break,
ers. No arrests were made.
On the morning trip a young girl ran

When Fred Bush Is arraigned in Re.
corder Broyles’ court Friday afternoon
to be examined following the explosion
of an Infernal machine In the home of
Miss Katharyn McCarthy, a theory will
bo presented by the detectives which
will be startling., .
At least two prominent Atlanta citi
zens will be placed on the stand to tes
tify to a strange Influence which Krejl
Bush Is said to wield over his business
partner, Charles V. Doolittle. They will
testify. It Is stated, that Bush has a
peculiar affection for Doolittle, who Is
only 22 years old. while Bush Is 30
years of age, and that he has shown a
Jealousy uf anyone who attracted Doo
little’s regard.
Bush. Doolittle and members of the
McCarthy family all deny that Buah
was In love with Miss Kathryn Mc
Carthy, and this aroused curiosity as to
why Bush—If It was Bush—should try
to Injure her.
The new theory advanced by the de-
IVtlvca. and bused on tho statements
made Thursday afternoon by citizens
who know Bush and Doolittle Intimate
ly, Is that Bush was Jealous—not of
Miss McCarthy, but of his young part
ner. Charles V. Doolittle.
Charles V. Doolittle, who was held
for a few hours Thursday at the police
station, was released during the after
noon under a bond of 1200 for his ap
pearance at the trial. He will be placed
on the stand Friday afternoon unless
for some reason a continuance Is or
dered.
