WORKING HARD
The Corners Jiry in the Gideon Pope
Case Still Sitting
A GREIT DE\L OF EVIDENCE IN
They are Hording |Their Frggfonß in
Star Cnauiberu to Keep
Down Reports.
The coroners jury in the case of shoot
ing to death of Gideon Pope held a star
chamber session yesterday.
This was done in order to keep reports
from going out to people whom they will
possibly want either as principals, acces
sories, or witnesses in Popes killing.
Two white women were jailed ester
day charged with maintaining lewd
houses and it is believed that both or at
least one of them knows who did the deed
and it is currently reported that one of
them has told the jury as much.
At any rate the deputies and baliffs
were all dispatched to various parts of
the county one of them returned yester
day with a man by the name of Cantrell
whom the witnesses declare is the wrong
man. Cantrell was locked up because
the coroner was not in the city late yes
terday afternoon to sign bis release. The
, two white women’s names are Maria Hill
and Emma Tolbert.
J. II Creekmore one of the men ar
rested Sunday demanded a trial yester
day and at 3 p. m., Judge Walter Har
ris proceeded with it.
Two witnesses were put up, Lewis
Ferguson and Wylie Fain both colored.
They each swore positively that Creek
more was the man they saw loitering
around Popes Saturday night. They de
scribe the man as having a sandy mus
tache and a 5 weeks old beard.
Creekmore had none such when on
trial yesterday, but notwithstanding this
both Fergusou and Fain swear he is the
man they saw run away fiom Popes at
the time of the shooting.
Col. Nat Harris is defending Creek -
more and when Fain described how the
man walked Saturday night Col. Har
ris l ad Creekmore come out in front and
walk for Fain, Fain immediately claimed
that Creekmores walk across the court
room was identical with that of the man
he saw Saturday night.
The trial lasted until 4:30 when ad
journment was taken until 9 this morn
ing.
The coroners jury will resume also at
9, they, with the assistance of Hou. Sea
born Wright are proceeding carefully
and watching every detail and item of
evidence that is calculated to throw any
light on the foul murder of Pope.

INTERESTING. CASE
Suit For Receiving of Five Hundred
Dollars.
FIRST NATIONAL HELD STAKES
To’d B forejudge N. E. Hutchins in Sup
e'ior Court Yeyterday, Judge
Henry Disqualified.
There was an interesting case argued,
in superior court yesterday. Judge N. L.
Hotchins presiding on account of Judge
Henry being disqualified.
It was a suit by Mrs. D B Hamilton
for the recovery of a SSOO bonus put up
by the Chattanooga, Rome and Colum
bus railroad company m an arbitration
in a case involving the ground on which
the Battey & Hamilton warehouse stands.
When the railroad was being built the
property was condemned and an arbitra
tion resulted, the parties arguing that the
railroad company should deposit SSOO in
the First National bank to await the
final award.
The Rome railroad company came in
on the idea of long occupancy under an
old charter and claimed the money.
Col. D. B, Hamilton, representing the
plaintiff, made an eloquent speech show
ing that the original deed to the land
was vested in Col. Alfred Shorter, aud
through him descended to bis heir, Mrs.
Hamilton.
The case went to the jury at 4:30
o’clock aftei an exhaustive change by’
Judge Hutchins.
