8 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 onarunH-cm the field to the barn and begun hKcbii’g a team.to a spring wagon He wcrk'.u rapidly, and when tho men boro tho injured man to the house the blind boy the t<nm bitched up, driven out in the road and ready to start with his brother ta u d *ctcr in this city.

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.
