But try .as *he will, she Cannot erase from Iter fhetnory the words contained in that short, threatening note. It waa on Thursday last that Mrs. Young received an envelope through the mall. On its face waa her name addressed In a scrawling hand, and in the right-hand corner was an Atlanta post mark. There was no, demand for money—simply these words: "Mrs. Young—You will be murdered before ten days.'* And this letter, or rather note—It was written on a blank visiting card—did not gome entirely as a surprise. In fact, Mrs. Young had been expecting something of the kind for a day or two. Was Second Message. And there was reason for this. Only a day or two before she received a let- i»r t anonymous of course, that fore- mid something of the Black Hand mothoda. This letter was a threaten ing ono, and besides making threats. ji contained many spiteful things. Who it came from Mrs. Young had m>i iho slightest Idea. Hhe has lived In Atlanta about two years and in the Euxt fain street house about a year :in«l u half, und In that time she has learned enough of the people near by to ■ suspect at least one of them— a negro aofiutn.

Th* jury in th* Crutchfield cas* r*. turned • verdict 1st* Wednesday even ing declaring the defendant NOT GUILTY. The jury reported at 5:30 o'clock to newspaper representatives that they had .found « verdict for acquittal. Judge Roan had left the oourt room end will not receive the verdict until Thurtday morning. At 4 o'clock Reuben Arnold finished the closing argument for the defense in the Crutchfield case and Judge Roan began his charge to the Jury. The plea of the defense throughout was that if Crutchfield really intended to kill his wife he could easily have done so, Instead of shooting her in the leg. They argue, therefore, that It wa* an accident, and, at its worst, could not have been worse than assault and battery. Attorney Van Astor Bachelor opened for the defense. Solicitor General Hill spoke for the state, contending that it waa nothing more nor less than as sault with Intent to murder. J. H. Crutchfield, charged with as sault with Intent to murder his wife, Mr*. Salile L Crutchfield, on October 2G, wa* placed on trial Wednesday morning In the criminal branch of the superior court before Judge Roan. Mrs. Crutchfield failed to appear in court to testify against her husband, Crutchfield. In giving evidence for him self, stated that Mr*. Crutchfield had written several letters, which he had in ills hand, to Judge Roan, stating that she did not want to prosecute him; that she was satisfied that the shooting was an accident, and that she wanted a reconciliation. The claim of the defense is that Crutchfield went to Mrs. Crutch field'.! apartments for the purpose of effecting a reconciliation. He had previously been driven from the placfe with guns, and fearing that he might be threat ened with guns again, he carried his Winchester repeating shotgun with him.

The indignation of citizens In the vi cinity of Mangutn and Mitchell streets over the action of W. E. Wimpy In renting the two-story residence at 120 Mangum street to a negro woman tor a negro boarding house reached the cli max Tuesday night when It became necessary to have the house guarded throughout the night by a detail of po lice to prevent It and Its occupants from being blown to atoms with dyna mite. The sensational Information that a quiet, but determined, movement was oiv foot among certain of the Incensed clthtens to dynamite both the negro boarding house and the home of W. E. Wimpy, In West End, accidentally leaked out late Tuesday afternoon und created Intense excitement. This news waa quickly communicated to Chief ot Police Jennlnga and the chief In turn had u conference with Police Captain Jett, Instructing him to guard the house. \ ' Captain Jett, with a detail of eight policemen, went to the scene at 6 o'clock und remained on active duty until 6 o’clock Wednesday morning, guarding the property from any possi ble violence. Two of these policemen were stationed In an alleyway along side the house. Two others were ae- : creted In the Temple Baptist church, at Mangum nnd West Hunter streets, a short distance away. Two others were stationed at Mangum and Mitch ell streets, while tho remaining two patrolled Mangum street in front of the boarding house. 0 RIGHT AT ALTAR. O O Terre Haute, Ind.. Nov.

It Is said that the intention had been expressed by them to then go to the home of W. E Wimpy for a similar purpose It Is understood that two sticks of dynamite had actually been procured anil th* statement made that one was to be used In blowing up the Mangum street house and the other to perform the samo function at the Wimpy home. In West End. Whether the secret meeting was held Tuesday night could not be learned. Chief Jennings staled Wednesday, in answer to questions, that Mr. Wimpy has inude no appeal to him for special police protection. The. feeling Is still at fever heat and every ‘effort will lie made to prevent possible trouble. The negroes have as yet made no move toward vacating the house. It will take a mighty big meal ticket to satisfy Atlanta's hunger on Thanks giving day. And this ticket Is going to cost a fat roll, too. Something like 360.000 or 370,606— that's all. Tbls price doesn't Include the folks who will dine on greens and pork. It 13 the meal ticket which will feed those who are going to have one uf those real, old-fashioned kind of Thanksgiv ing feeds—the kind your grandfather told you about. And to satisfy all that Atlanta hunger for turkey—the national bird ot feed—thousands of the gobblers will get It In the thorax. Home 16.000, ex perts say, will be necessary to satlafy Atlanta and these birds are coming from a large area ot the country. Now. the proper kind of a Thanks giving bird Is the genuine Vermont or Khodo Island turkey and while some folks may buy birds with this kind of a label on them, don't be fooled. It’s ull right to tell the friends you have invited to dinner that the bin! wax bred In old Vermont or Rhode Island, but on the quiet, forget it. The bird probably came from the wilds of Ten nessee or North Carolina, If a good old Georgia farmer didn't raise It. Turkeys Ar.e High. Good turkeys will cost anywhere from 20 cents to 25 cents a pound. Of course the kind that come front Missouri and xre killed some weeks before and me soaked In cold storage, may be pur chased cheaper. But they nre not like the kind that come from nearer Homo on the foot And that are sent to their doom the day Is fore Thanksgiving. Big preparations for Thanksgiving have been made In Atlanta and store keepers arc having no trouble In get ting lid of the turkey supply they pur chased. The hotels especially have laid In a goodly supply of the natlonul bird of feed. All their guests will have a good dinner on that day. The Piedmont hotel alone will use 150 turkeys, white the Kimball house and Aragon will have about as mant. Not only the guests will feed well on that day, but In the case or the Pied mont hotel the employees will not be forgotten. Every employee of th* Plodmont, both white and colored, will be served with a delicious regulation turkey dinner, ami as a result there Is Joy In tho ranks of the Piedmont force. 'Possum and 'Tatsrs. There are soma people in Atlanta, and Its environs, who are not going to be satisfied with turkey alone. They must have some Georgia trimmings—- the kind that are not served way down East where the Aral cabin passengers of the Mayflower landed. They must have iiossum und sweet potatoes nnd this has caused the ’pos sum market to tie somewhat shy. If you have not already made provision for this feature of a Thanksgiving din ner It will be a case of hustle, for ’pos sums cannot be picked up with the ease of turkeys. Most folks who are going to eat ‘possum have already a captive animal In the back yard where said captive has been fattening for several days past. But 'tls not well to dwell upon such thoughts. They make the mind wander back to the tall timber of Georgia wilds snd the mouth water. While dealers who have been con sulted give figures as to what Atlanta will consume on Thanksgiving day In the way of turkey, chickens and a few stereotyped trimmings, there are lots of other good tilings for dinner which ure not Included In the list and these will probably swell the dinner bill by sev ers! thousands. Even at that, 376,000 Is rather a good price to pay for a din ner. but then nothing is too good for Atlanta folks. Possibly 3100.666 for the Thanksgiving feed bill would nearer hit the mark after tlie 156,600 Atlanta folks get through satisfying their hunger on the day of giving thanks for blessings received. But What’e the use of bothering about exiiense'.' The day only comes once f year.
