PET STRAHAN'S
MAGNETIC EYE
The Atlanta Girl Has Set New
York Crazy.
Is Said to Hypnotize Every Man
Who Comes Within Her Sight.
New York, Dec. 3.—*fhe crowd striving
to get into part four, court of general ses
sions, to attend the trial of William A. E.
Moore, tn a charge of assaulting and rob
bing Martin Mahon, in the Hotel Grenoble,
November 4th. wa« greater than ever yes
terday, * but Recorder Goff ordered the
• toorkeepens to admit only reporters, ac
credited artiste and members of the bar.
The consequence was that during the early
proceedings the courtroom was not so bad
ly crowded as it has been. The news had
gone cut that some time yesterday Fayne
.Moore, the pretty wife of the defendant, a
former Atlanta •belle, and the daughter of
Chief Justice Strahao, of Oregon, herself a
prisoner, changed with the same crime,
would be called to the witness stand, and
the pressure to see her was very great.
Moore, clean-shaven and carefully groom
ed, was the first of the principals to en
*er the room. His wife was a close second.
She wore her blue dress with a yoke of
white, which figured in her very first me
tropolitan pictures. She was arrested
wearing this tgown. She had discarded the*
•liamond-'enrircled miniature, which clasp
ed tho creamy yoke at her soft throat. It
appeared from the questions asked by Mr.
Lexy that the diamond framed picture was
the jft of Martin Mahon. The diamond
crusted. green enameled watch she still
•wore as a chatelaine on the place where
tshe ought to have her 'heart.
She was conducted to t'he far corner,
which the has had to sit in since Assistant
District Attorney Mclntyre made his sen
sational ph a that she might hypnotize the
jury with her 'blue eyes. And this little
woman, who is the leading lady in the
highly flavored melodrama, aspiring to the
reputation of a tragedy queen, but being
held up to public gaze as a ruthless hoy
den, was the brightest bit of color in the
loom. It was in her glowing personality,
the sunshine of her smile and the brilliant
blue of her eyes.
Senator Simon, of Georgia, a friend of
the fair defendant's father, was present,
as an evidence of their friendship. For
mer district attorney Benjamin H. Hill, of
Atlanta, who knew the woman when s'he
was a young girl in that city, also attended
today.
.Moore, the defendant, is still as dogged
,i» ever. He has hardly moved a muscle of .
Ji.is face since the ‘trial began, although the
p.iys strict attention to everything that
happens in the court room. Many women
were present and insisted on having seats
well the front, so that they should not
miss a word of the testimony, Vs a rule,
the women were v’ll JreDtd,
Xtiaimr imci'i j iw.i spLotaior was Cover- |
• tr-ohvt McMillin, of Tennessee, but even ;
' : appearance did not dim the chief sensa- ;
lion of the day -ithe dramatic finale of the j
<'.o< examination of Mar in Mahon. Plied
■. mors. 1< ssly by Levy with. Beaching
questions .is to his laug friend.-hip with
Fayne Strahan-Moore, he turned in piteous
appeal to the recorder:
"Must I answer.” he a-ked, in despera- -
"Unltss it will degrade or incriminate |
you.” was the reply.
Mahon refused to answer.
"It will degrade me.” he stammered in
' m’barrassment. And Mrs. Moore looked at
!iim 4n pitying disdain. There was the
same craning of necks as the hotel man
resumed hisstory of hard luck. The room
was jammed and some people were holding
their watch pockets. The report had been
spread that F. Lopez De Queerratto, the
county detective who represents the dis
trict attorney clerk’s office, in the court
•oom. had bad a $250 watch and chain,
presented to him by the Cuban junta for
bravery in the ten year's war, stolen dur
ing the rush hour.
Mahon again described the technique of
having is blackened eye painted next day
after his collision with Moore in' Mrs.
.Moore's apartments at the Grenoble. Mr.
There Were Five
Yesterday
We Know Os
Who, “after looking further,” came back and
bought 15.00 and 18.00 Suits Here. They all
said in effect:
* “You have the completest
stocks, the best assort
ment and the fairest
prices we found any
where.”
These things are no mystery. Any man with
eyes to see and hands to feel and sense to decide
can prove to himself, beyond the shadow of a
doubt that it is money saved to buy of
Levy gto down to the second day after
wards as a more interesting period, be
cause Moore is alleged then <o have to the
I New Amsterdam to coleci the no.c-s. Mrs.
i Moore smiled scornfully when Mahon said
j ht did not thank t'he defendants for as
| sieving him in dressing and wash.ng his
I wounds.
The note business was again gone over.
| Questions were plied as to his love for Mrs.
; Moore, which caused the , fair b He of
Georgia to lean forward eagerly and catch
every word of his answer, which was in
the negative.
The alleged negro Ellis was then iden
tified. He will be called as a witness. He
is (supposed to have been friendly at one
time with Mrs. Moore and is a Mexican
by birth, being connected with a well
known street brokerage firm who repre
sents the interests of William I’. Hunting
ton and other well known men. He resides
at the Hotel Imperial.
The other witnesses at the morning ses
sion were Alonzo Faster, .Mahon’s hotel
manager, and Detective Sergeant Cuff, the
former’s testimony being corroborative
only in the outside details, and the latter’s
being confined to a phase of the case sub
sequent to the sensational happenings.
Sergenat Cuff’s testimoney was interrup
ted for the noon recess.
The weather permitting there wiil be a
short Sunday service in the Second Ohio's
camp at 2 p. in., conducted by
Chaplain Crawford. After the service
there will be a concert by the band. Citi
zens are cordially invited.
A REMARKABLE MAN.
Blind From Birth. He Doesn’t Seem
to Need Eyes.
John Walther, who lives within two
miles of Clinton, Ind., has been blind
from birth. Until ho reached manhood
Join. lived on tho farm with his father,
and it was not uncommon to see him driv
ing to the city with a load of corn, wheat
or other farm produce. A piece of ground
was given to him, and each year he would
plant and cultivate a big garden, which he
would market in Clinton and place the
proceeds to his credit in the bank. He
would buy horses, cattle and hogs. Even
when a boy ho was regarded as a good
trader.
It is now a common occurrence for John
to stop in tho middle of the road and trade
horses with some jockey, ami it is said
that he is never worsted. He will go to
any part of his father’s large farm unat
tended in search of a truant horse or cow,
and his searches are usually successful.
How he manages to distinguish the stock
for which ho is searching is a question
which puzzles everybody, and a mystery
which tho blind man himself cannot or
does not explain.
When ho decides to come to town, he
goes to tho woods and with apparently as
little difficulty as a man blessed with two
good eyes selects his favorite horse from
perhaps a dozen grazing in tho pasture.
Ho has each season for years made a hand
in tho harvest field, and tho farmers re
gard him as one of tho fastest and most
reliable wheat “shockers” in the neigh
borhood. It was throe years ago during
harvest that the blind man s brother be
came entangled in the machinery of a har
vester. and suffered a broken arm. As
soon as the accidenl occurred John started

STORY OF A SLAVE.
To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George D. Williams, of Manches
ter, Mich., tells how such a slave was
made free. He says: “My wife has been J
so helpless for five years that she could
not turn over in bed alone. After using 1
two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is won
derfully improved and able to do her
work.” This supreme «remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run-down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by H. J.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3 tßgo.
COMMITTEE
LEAVES TONIGHT
For Washington to Invite
the President to Visit
Macon.
The committee appointed by the Cham
ber of Commerce to go to Washington to
invite President McKinley to vist Macon
while on bis Southern trip will leave to
night via the Southern for Washingion.
The president was notified yesterday by
a telegram that a committee would call
upon him. The committee is composed of
the following gentlemen: Senator A. O.
Bacon. Congressman C. L. Bartlett, Major
J. F. Hanson, Mr. E. S. Wilson, Mr. T. E.
Artope, Mr. George A. Smith and Major
E. E. Winters.
Every city of any note in the state is
sending the president telegrams and letters
asking him to visit those places on his
Southern trip. Macon, however, sends a
representative body of her best citizens to
personally invite the president and it is
thought that he will accept the invitation
as he intends going from Atlanta to Sa
vannah and he could easily stop over here
one dap.
General Wilson sent him a telegram yes
terday asking his to review the troops here
under his command. As soon as the com
mittee is heard from and if the president
.accepts the invitation arrangements for
his reception will be made.
McKINLEY’S ITINERARY.
From Atlanta He Will Go to Tuskegee—
Nothing Futher Arranged.
Ohl's special to the Constitution says:
The president spent some time this even
ing in the consideration of the plans for
his trip to Atlanta. Mr. L. S. Brown, the
representative of the Southern railway,
who has charge of the preliminaries re
lating to the southern trip, submitted to
Secretary Porter this evening a schedule
covering not only the trip to Atlanta,
but covering also the various points in the'
south which have sent invitations to the
president.
After going over all the figures pre
sented carefully, the president determined
upon the schedule so far as Atlanta and
Tuskegee are concerned, and left the
other points stil undetermined. He will
leave here between 2 and 3 o’clock on
the afternoon of the 13th. Tht will put
him in Atlanta shortly after breakfast on
the 14th. He will remain in Atlanta un
til midnight, of the 15th. when his special
train will leave the city for the trip to
Tuskegee.
The train wiil move leisurely from At
lanta over into Alabama, reaching the
junction, Crehaw, at probably 9 or 10
o'clock the next morning. At Chehaw
there will be a change to the narow guage
road which runs to Tuskegee. An hour
or two will be spent at Booker Washing
ton’s school there, and the party will re
turn to the special train in time for din
ner.
'Beyond this nothing is settled. The
president has a very pressing invitation to |
visit Montgomery, and he is anxious to j
go to Savannah, if Gen. Lee and his troops ’
are still there. He also has invitations i
from Huntsville and Camp Fornance. He i
regards it as essential that he get back to [
Washington by Saturday night, if pos- i
sible, and for that reason it looks as if j
whatever time hec an give to any other I
point-: in ihe South -besides Atlanta must ’
be in the nature of very brief flying visits. I
