Joe Brown Irby has been ad
mitted to bail at Perry in the sum
of 81,000. The bond was signed
by Mrs. Chester Pearce and G. P.
Marshall. Irby killed Richard H.
Clark. The evidence at the hear
ing before Judge Felton Wednes
day developed the fact that last
Sunday evening Clark * accompa
nied by Winn and Middlebrooks
went out to Irby’s home in the
country, four miles, arriving there
late in the afternoon, and found
Irby away from home, but he came
in a few minutes later, when Irby
invited them to stay to supper, as
it was raining, and they consented
to do so. After they got up to
leave, Clark and Jrby had some
words about a misunderstanding
about two weeks before, and as
Winn and Middlebrooks got to
the door they heard the snap of a
pistol. Looking around they saw
Clark trying to shoot Irby, Irby at
the time stooping over looking
into his trunk with his back to
Clark. When the pistol of Clark
snapped he tried it again and his
pistol tired at Irby, the ball pass
ing over his head. Instantly Irby
wheeled and fired two shots at
Clark, one taking effect near the
right collar bone and ranging
down ward Jo ward the heart. Clark
was sitting in his chair when he
'fired at Irby, and never got up out
of his seat, dying immediately.
Ex-United States District At
torney Joe James says that Henry
Beidler and Herbert Price will be
prosecuted next week in the
United States court on charges of
cheating and swindling, which he
will bring. He will chaage Price
and Beidler with representing
themselves as being the agents forfl
certain insurance companies that
have never existed, ;tnd in writing
insurance for the imaginary com
panies and collecting the premi
ums thereon. It is alleged that
they made victims of the officers
of the Eden Park cotton mills
at Douglasville.—Atlanta Consti
tution.
Gov. Atkinson has issued an or
der commuting the sentence of
Owen Tyus to four years in the
penitentiary. Tyus was tried on
the charge of manslaughter and
convicted in the Cobb county su
perior court in 1894, and sentenced
to five years in the chaingang. It
developed in the trial that the
shot that killed his victim was
fired by Tyus while the other
man was shooting at Tyus’ mother,
and that had a good deal to do
with securing a commutation of
his sentence. He has served nearly
three years of his term and will
soon be released from custody.
