FERRELL'S SLAYER

Over a Union
Card. •
Ed-Vl. Ferrell, a holler maker of Au
gusta, Ga., woe stabbed by Tommy Lu
cue. a boiler maker who Uvea at 222
East Hjlnter street Monday evening at
6:40 o'clock and died at the Grady Hoe
pltal half an hour later. Lucaa es
caped and It Is believed made hie way
to Chattanooga on a train which left
shortly after the killing.
The affair occurred In Cheatham's
nnloon, 45 Decatur street, and arose
ever a short quarrel about a union card.
Neither man, It Is said, was drinking
to excess.
The body of Ferrell was turned over
to undertakers Tuesday morning by
hi9 relatives, who live In Atlanta, and
will be sent to Augusta for Interment.
Terrell waa married and leaves a wid
ow and one little daughter. They live
In Ninth street In Augusta.
The police department made every
effort to have Lucaa apprehended by
officers In Chattanooga, where he le
known, and In the places along the
railroad. No news of Lucas' rapture
had been received at a late hour. Lu
cas Is married and has no children.
Farrell Was from Augusta.
Ferrell came to Atlanta from Augur
ta Monday to see the Labor Day rele
bratlon. At 1:10 o'clock he walked Into
Cheatham's saloon at 45 Decatur street
At the bar were W. C. Oury, foreman
at the Atlanta Machine Works; Tommy
Lucaa, an employee nt that shop; A.
D. Lundbom and O. W. Windham, all
boiler makers and union men.
Ferrell recognised the union badges
on the men's coats and greeted them aa
brother, boiler maker*. In the conver
sation that ensued over a glass of
beer Lundbom produced his union
card and handed It to Ferrell. The two
then began a good natured argument
over the card, when Lucas, who had
previously taken no part In the dis
cussion, demanded that Ferrell return
the card to Lundbom.
D. 8. Mahoney, a bartender in the
place, made the following statement:
"Lucas said: ‘Give thut card back
or I'll cut you,' and at the same time
he lunged at Ferrell, as I thought with
his fist. Then I saw that Ferrell was
stabbed with the knife and I grabbed
him.
"Lucas turned and walked out of the
bar and disappeared. I telephoned for
a doctor and then we sent the Injured
man to the hoapltal. I didn't see any
more of Lucas. Neither man had been
drinking much. Lucaa waa certainly
not drunk and Ferrell had taken only-
one glass of beer.”
At the hospital Ferrell was given
prompt treatment, but It was found
that the knife had penetrated the left
lung and it was not possible to save
his life. He died within fifteen minutes
after reaching the Institution.

the stabbing, Lucaa went to hie home.

ARCHBISHOP KEANE SAYS
POPE HASN'T LONG TO LIVE
By l’rirste Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. 4.—Among the dis
tinguished visitors In New York today
le Archbishop John J. Keane, of Du
buque. Iowa, formerly, rector of the
Catholic University at Washington, and
one of the distinguished prelates In the
American hierarchy. Archbishop Keane
has Jui 1 returned from a visit to Rome
and is spending a few days at the
Paullat house In West Fifty-ninth
street. He made some most Interest
ing statements concerning the pope and
church matters to friends. Among oth
er things, he le quoted ae saying:
"Pope Plus was practically forced
on the papal, throne. He did not wish
to take the responsibility. He will not
live long. He does not want to. In
my opinion, he will never hold a con
sistory, and the outlook for the crea
tion of an American cardinal Is not
encouraging. The pope, a few days aft
er his elevation, declared that he would
never hold a consistory, and that he
did not wish to have a long pontificate.
I believe his wishes will be fulfilled.
"If the pope should decide to honor
this country I believe he would not
create one cardinal, but two; and they
would be the archbishop of New York
and Archbishop Ireland."
