ment for the state this morning and was
followed by Mr. John R. Cooper for the
def.nse.
Mr Coop, i argument was a strong and
<-ar> till defense, of his client and was par
ticularly ingenious in view of the fact that
til ha I Offered practically no evidence for
the di fciro nor had he impeached any of
the witnesses.
Both th. • late and the defense closed

Joiner-Yon murder case.
inning the afternoon some interesting
testimony wa: given and it looks rather
.black for Joiner.
bi.utenanl Clark, of the police force
testified that he saw Yon’s body on the
night of the killing between 11 and 12
o’clock. He raid that he found a razof
handle b. ‘ide the body and said that the
one Solicitor Ellis showed was the one that
ho found. He said that he went to Joiner's
house the mxt mottling between 5 and 6
o'clock and asked Joiner to come to the
door. Join, r came to the door in his night
clothes and lie saw a spot of blood on the
sleeve of Joiner’s undershirt. He said that
he examined Joiner’s pants and found
blood on them also, and that he asked
Joiner if ite knew Yon; Joiner replied that
he did but that lie hadn’t seen him in two
weeks. Lieutenant Clark also said that

asked him about them and Joiner told him
that he got the scratches on ills face from
a machine In the factory.

the lazor handle introduced by Solicitor
Ellis, in a pool of blood near Yon’s body,'
ami that You was dead when he reached
him.
Mrs Hall, who lives near Joiner, was the
next witness introduced by the state. At
this stage of the trial Solicitor Ellis drew
forth a small envolope in which the em
ployes of the mills receive their money.
This envelope was a small one and had
blood stains on it and also had Joiner's
name written on it. Solicitor Ellis stated
that he would introduce that envelope as
evidence. He asked Mrs. Hall if she had
ever seen that envelope before. She said
that she had, that it was the one Joiner
had the afternoon before the killing. She
was asked by Mr. Cooper if she wasn’t
the prosecutrix In the case and also if she
wasn't the one who had Joiner arrested.
(Mr. Cooper fired all sorts of questions at
her until Solicitor Ellis Jumped to his feet
and protested against some of the ques
tions, The Judge ruled that the questions
■were admissable and Mr. Cooper pro
ceeded
IMr. Cribb, a foreman In the mills, tes
tified that Jwlner did not have any scratch
es on his face Saturday evening when he
left the mill but that he did have them on
Sunday morning
At this stage of the trial the prisoner.
Joiner, rose and went to the water cooler
below the Judges' bench." He took a drink
and returned to his scat.
Miss Willie Reynolds was the next wit
ness called. She said that she heard
Joiner tell his father that ho met a man
coming home who tried to hold him up
and that he had cut him all to pieces.
George Brown, another employe of the
mill, stated that Joiner did not have any
scratches on his face when he left the mill
but that ho did have them the morn
ing. He also said that It was impossible
for any one to get scratched on one of the
machines. The state then closed.
Mr. Cooper wanted to recall Mr. Clark,
but he had been excused. He then -•’’led
in Mr. F. H. ‘Brown to see If he could
recognize Air. Rob Smith, of the Telegraph.
(He was unable, to do so and seemed terri
bly angry when questioned.
The attorneys for the defense held a
consultation with the prisoner for about
fifteen minutes. When they came back
Joiner wns placed on the stand.
Folowing is the official statement made
•by Joiner on the stand:
Gentlemen of the Jury: On the evening
of the 9th of April, 1898, I was at work,
and just before completing my day’s work
in the cotton mill I scratched my face ac
cidentally. One of the parts of the drawing
frame scratched my face and shortly af
terwards I completed my work and I goes
on through the' mill office and lingers
around there and went home and stayed
there until after supper and after supper
I made my way down town. I came by
grandfather's on Third, between Oak and
Arch and stopped there a minute or two
and goes from there to Toole’s furniture
company on Poplar street and I stays
there a few minutes, and leaves there and
starts to Hughn's store on Mulberry street
between Second and First, and I got about
half way in fron of the Shoe Brokers and
the fire alarm was turned in, and seeing
the crowd go down Poplar street I went
back to the fire myself between iFburth and
Fifth on Poplar street, and I left there. t
stayed there only a few minutes and I goes
tip Fourth to Cassidy’s bar and turns the
corner coming up this way and I passed
and was on this side of the door when I
saw on,the board down there, ‘'Fresh bar
becue from S to 11 o'clock." and for the
barbecue 1 goes in and gets a glass of beer

came in and we then had a few words
together and gray left, and as soon as be
left I left behind him and then I parted
with Y’on and never saw him any more
and haven't seen him since. I leaves there
and goes up Mulberry street and gets by
the alley this side and met two men, John
Smith and eGo. Ard and I went In the Fair
Store and came out and left them there
and came to Huhn’s and bought a game of
marbles and I left then and went out
Second tsreet and from there to Ogle
thorpe and turns up and goes home.
1 never knew anything about all this
and I goes home and shortly after I went
in father came in. Nora, my wife, said
she sent for my father and mother, and I
guess Ida Hall came in about that time
to see how my old lady was; she was very
sick with a little baby two weeks old and
to wait on her my father and mother; and
I slept sound all night; I went to bed; I
was not restless at all about nothing. I
woke up the next morning, my wife woke
me up asking who was at the door, and 1
goes in my night clothes and Lieutenant
•Clark or Officer Clank comes in and ex
amines my pants. 1 don't know whether
ho examined them or not, he loked at
them; at the pants, and shoes and coat
and hat, and he asked to let him see my
razor, and I went to the bottom of the
trunk and got it out, and he examined it
and went out, agd I went back to bed
wondering what was up, and in a few
minutes he come back and told me to get
up and dres and go with him and 'I did
so, making no resistance at all, and going
to the policeman’s box he asked me about
the fight last night 1 had, and I says I
don’t know anything about it, and he says
you just as well tell me all about, it, the
fellow is not hurt; he is down town walk
ing about now; tell me all about it, and I
told him that I didn’t know anything to
tell him; I never had any fuss of any kind
and I didn’t know what. I was locked up
for until 9or 10 o'clock.
Then folowed a long rambling state
ment from Joiner in which he accuses one
of the witnesses, Mrs. Hall, of bringing
on this accusation against him from pure
spite. In this he makes no reference to
the crime, 'but atempts to discredit the
witness by traducing her character.
After coming off the stand the defend
ant said he desired to make an additional
statement, which was as follows:
"Gentlemen of the jury, that testimony
this morning of that darkey, that is false;
I didn’t meet any body that night at all
<*s I was going home from Second street.
1 goes up Second strel to Ogelthorpe and
turned up there ami bocs light by that
factory wall and by the office and turns
around that corner and makes my way
home; I never met any negro woman as
1 goes through the pool lot at all. And the
testimony of Mrs. Hall and Ada Peacock
give this morning about the bloody
clothes and shirt and things that is false.
1 have on hte coat here just as you see
it’and wore it that night; it is the only
coat I have, and the I have been wearing
ever since I bought it since I marled, the
whole suit. The pants that 1 wore that
night 1 wore the next day when they
locked me up and 1 have been wearing
those in jail down here ever since, and I
have not had any clothes at all. Ties is
the only suit ‘I had, and all the clothes
1 had were old clothes that I wore in
the mill that was full erf cotton that was
not fit to wear out anywhere, and this
is the only suit 1 had, and I wore the
clothes the next morning when I was ar
rtasted, and I have been wearing the pants
ever since I have ben in jail, and this is
the coat I had on that night
The defense did not introduce, any wit
nesses and Mr. Claud Estes opened for the
defense, die made one of the most elo
quent speeches ever heard in the court
house. He was followed by Solicitor Ellis,
who was speaking when the court ad
journed.

MMOR AND till CUM
Will Go as Delegates to the Con
vention Which Will Be Held
in Detroit.
Macon will be well represented at the
convention of the League of American
Municipalities to be held In Detroit in
August.
Council last night decided to send Mayor
Price and City Clerk Bridges Smith to
represent Macon.
One of the most interesting features of
the entire convention will be the reading
of a paper on “Water Supply,” by Judge
George Hillyer, president of the water
board of Atlanta. Having been connected
with the department there for a number
of years, Judge Hillyer is thoroughly fa
miliar with his subject and his paper will
be of great interest for the delegates.
The following subjects will be discussed
at the convention:
“■Municipal Ownership of Public Service
Industries” —What progress has been made .
in this line in the United States and Cana- i
da and with what results? What shall be ’
its limitations?
“Remuneration'' to Cities for Franchise '
Rights In, Over and Under Public Streets
and Alleys”—What remuneration, if any,
should be exacted from light water, street
railway, telephone and subway corpora
tions, and how should it be collected?
“The Civil Service"—What results have
been attained by requiring applicants for
positions in city departments to pass an
examination and making their tenure of
office dependent on good behavior and
mental and physical ability? To what de
partments should civil service laws apply?
“Garbage Disposal”—What has been the
experience of municipalities in attempting
to collect and dispose of garbage in a sani
tary and economical manner? Are the
present utilization and Incineration inven
tions satisfactory and what does it cost to
operate them?
“Public Water Supplies”—What means
should a municipality employ to supply its
people with an ample supply of pure water
at equitable rates? Is the general use of
meters desirable? What systems of filtra
tion are satisfactory?
“Boards. Single-headed 'Commissions or
(Council Committees” —Should the admin
istrative affairs of the departments of pub
lic works, water, fire, police, parks, chari
ties and correction be conducted by boards,
single-headed commissions or council
committees?
“Street Paving”—iWhat are the relative
merits and cost of the various paving ma
terials?
“Regulation of Saloons”—What policy
is best to use in enforcing the laws per
taining to saloons?
TEACHERS GONE
TO THE SPRINGS
To Attend the Convention of
the Association at That
Place.
Superintendent D. Q. Abbott and a num
ber of teachers left last night and this
morning to attend the convention at that
place.
At the last convention it was decided to
hold the meeting for this year at Cumber
land island, but it was recently
to hold the convention at Indian Spring,
so that as many teachers as possible might
be allowed to attend, as the place was
more central.
It is expected that the convention will be
one of the largest in the history of the
state association, as the point of meeting
is centrally located and the large number
of teachers who would not have gone to
Cumberland island on account of the dis
tance will be enabled to attend the conven
tion after all.
The convention will remain in session
for three days and the Macon delegation
will return Saturday afternoon.
The work of the convention this year
will consist in the reading of essays by
several of the prominent educators in the
state and the open discussion of educa
tional questions of vital importance to the
' schools.

UP A CONSTABLE.
One of Them Was Shot,
But Both Got
Away.
Last night about 10 o’clock a's Constable
Burkett was going home in a hack, two
men tried to hold him up.
Constable Burkett was in a hack. He
does not know the driver’s name, and was
going up Second street near Oglethorpe
when two negroes sprang in the hack.
They caught him by the arms and legs and
attempted to pull him on the ground.
Burkett finally got his pistol out and
dropped one of the negroes. The other ran.
■. and Burkett pursued him but could find
no trace of him. He then returned to where
he had shot the negro but he was gone.
Burkett is satisfied that the one he shot
is badly wounded as he gave a yell when
he was hit and the ground all around was
covered with blood. The police are on the
lookout for the negroes.

REGULAR WORK
OF CITUOUNCIL
Will Use Cement Rock on
Several Streets for Pav
ing Purposes.
LIQUOR DEALERS PETITIGH
That the Balance of the License be
Remitted on Account of Dull
Times—Other Action.
Under a resolution presented In council
last night at the regular meeting, Third
street from Mulberry to Ocmulgee, Walnut
street from Fourth to First and Ocmulgee
street from Fourth to Second will be laid
down with the cement rock which was
used on Second and Plum streets provided
the street committee approved the resolu
tion and recommends the work.
The liquor dealers of the city asked that
the balance- due on the license for this
year be remitted in view of the fact that
the war has stagnated their business and
they are unable to make the money that
they could make before the outbreak of
the war. The petition will be referred to
the finance committee and if they see that
■ the city can do without the money which
J will amount to about $7,000, the liquor
i dealers will be made happy.
The Consolidated Street (Car Company
■ asked for permission to abandon the track
used by the 'Metropolitan street car line
from Cotton avenue to First and up First
as far as the intersection of Poplar and
j connect with the track of the Consolidated

Cotton avenue.
Under the report of the committee the
request of the city engineer to be allowed
to use cement rock as the foundation for
the brick pavement on Cherry street was
granted.
A resolution to have a new city code
drawn up was referred to the finance com
mittee.
The Board of Health asked that a penal
ty be placed on the stopping up of any of
the outlets or inlets to the sewers.

ARMY ANDNAYY
RELIEF FUND.
Mrs. Atkinson’s Address to
the Women of the
State.
■Atlanta, June 29—(Mrs. Governor Atkin
son’s address before the representative
body of women assembled at her call Mon
day was as follows:
I will (briefly outline a history of the
emergency fund movement. Early in .May
a party of friends accompanied me to
Camp Northen, where we dined with the
officers of the First and Second Georgia
volunteer regiments. 'While there we learn
ed that it would be six or seven weeks be
fore the soldiers would receive their first
monthly salary from the government. It
seemed to me that they had needed it sev
eral weeks.
Soon after returning home I made an
appeal to the good people of the state,
urging that an emergency fund be raised
•through the organization of relief asso
ciations in all parts of the state.
After lhe Third regiment is mustered In
there will be forty-six companies and two
light batteries from Georgia in the service
of our country, together with a 'Georgia
battalion of naval reserves now in train
ing at (Brunswick. Thirty-six of these
companies are in the First, Second and
Third Georgia volunteer regiments, and
ten Georgia companies are in Colonel Ray’s
regiment of immunes. The other two
companies of 'Colonel Ray’s regiment aro
from Florida and South Carolina.
The advantages and purposes in organ
izing a “Georgia army and naval league”
are:
Ist. To avoid danger of omitting any of
the companies in the distribution of the
relief funds.
2nd. To encourage and aid In the organ
ization of other relief associations in the
state.
3rd. To keep informed of the various as
sociations and the amounts raised by them.
Also to secure accurate statements from
each one as to what companies their funds
are sent to, that we may avoid waste in
the form of misdirected efforts or dupli
cated aid.
4th. To ascertain what companies are in
need of aid or are being omitted entirely.
sth. To keep accurate accounts of the
funds which may be forwarded from time
to time to the various companies from the
relief associations.
The object of the “Georgia army and
navy league” is not in any way to inter
fere with or curtail the power of any local
organizations but to encourage and aid in
their formation, and to secure uniformity
of method among them.
If the purposes of this organization can
be attained no Georgia soldier or
and no family of a Georgia soldier or
sailor who may need help will be over
looked. and no one who is able and willing
to render help will remain inactive and
unsolicited. 'Nothing will prevent the full
accomplishment nf our purpose except the
indifference and misapprehension of those
from whom we have a right to except
moral and material aid.
Tomorrow morning from
9 to 12 o’clock, we will sell
a lot from one of our coun
ters of gent’s shoes that were
500 and 6.00 for 2.25. Fire

NATIONAL PARTY
Given by Miss Hazel Elliott to Her Little
Friends.
Miss Hazel Elliot entertained her friends
this afternoon with a national party in
honor of her 9th birthday.
The invitaions were written in poetry
and read this way:
In the blue field of the national flag;
Ther are forty-six stars to shine.
In the Cuban flag there is only one.
But today there are nlpe ip mine.
My flag is a flag of truce they say
When it floats all battles cease
It shrinks from war and strife of war
And floats alone for peace.
So won’t you come please and play with
me?
For I am 9 years old today
We’ll have some cake as well as fun.
And goodies as well as play.
Miss Hazel was assisted by her two sis
ters In receiving her guests. She vfis
dressed in white and her two sisters in
red and blue.
All the refreshments were in red, white
and blue colors.
The affair was very much enjoyed by
the little folks present.
