i,rand Jury and District Attorney
fonimended.
Before the evidence of the defense had
, ti introduced in the United States
c , - yesterday, Judge Speer interposed
ao direct a verdict of not guilty in the
brought against Detectives Wether
h^r; Scully, Barrett and Shea. The de
u , wore all discharged, with an ad
nionirion not to do it again.
\Vhen court convened District Attorney
jvwia was prepared with the charges
against the men that Judge Speer had
directed should be filed. These charges
, v - t . r , ased on the evidence given before
th grand jury Monday, and related to the
lr ;p taken by the detectives and their
prisont*rs to Gildea’s, Reilly’s and other
i , the incidents of that trip, # the dis
, . r y of the package with unknown con
iU‘ii;s behind the whisky barrel at Reil
ly . the purchase of four revolvers from
.il men by Detective Wetherhorn, and
the refusal to turn them over to the state
c,r f d.-ral authorities, and the meals fur
i shed Belmont and Nelson, while in jail,
hi the expense of Detectives Scully and
Shea.
The <!i-frie attorney had prepared an
P f rmaiion, charging the defendants
w; , violating in the manner above out
-1.11 i the section of the revised statutes
mat prohibits interference with the due
minr.iiiistrath n of justice in the United
Slates courts.
A number cf witnesses were introduced
in behalf of the government, who substali
mit and the mait rs if fact charged in the
information, but did not succeed in
showing any criminal intent on the part
of the detectives. Neither was it shown
that the detectives bad any desire or in
v niitm of interfering with the adminis
tration of justice in the United States
District Court, criminally or otherwise.
The examination of these witnesses was
conducted for the government by Assist
ant District Attorney W. It. Lea ken, and
for the <K f ndants by Mr. W. W. Osborne
who, with Hon. F. G. dußignon, appeared
f)r them. The issues of fact demanded
the deei.-ion of a jury and cne was drawn
without difficulty.
The only witness introduced by the de
tectives was one of their number, Detect
ive Weiherhern. His examination produc
ed considerable amusement in the court
room, arising principally from the wit
ivs.-’ description of the manner in which
the safe-blowers, Belmont nnd Nelson,
had been induced to yield up their -ee
t ret. It. appears that these ingenious in
dividuals were inclined to be reticent and
that it was only after they had been mel
lowed by the administration of several
drinks that their tongues were loosened
and they began to tell what they knew.
Detective Wetherhorn stated that he had
bought the revolvers from the rilen merely
to contribute to their pleasure, furnish
them with a little money with which to
procure the delicacies they craved and
which were not included on the prison bill
of far* . and thus induce them to be
com more generally good-natured and
communicative. The revolvers themselves
were of no value to the detective, being
originally of poor construction and having
seen much ill usage, and the investment
of the $5 he had paid for them had been
with no view to pecuniary profit from the
ie-side of the weapons, but designed
merely to smooth the way to a full and
free confession.
He had not thought of the money a3
long as it would serve to help the city
detectives identify the prisoners as the
men who had robbed the postoffice at
Ociila.
“Then the $5 was nothing to you, Mr.
Wetherhorn?" the assistant district at
torney queried.
“Oh, yes," came the prompt correction
from the witness, that for some reason
ite i a ripple of amusement in the
court room, "I am a |>oor man."
Detective Wetherhorn did not at all
limes s; eak very distinctly, and on one
of these occasions Judge Speer exhorted
him to talk so that the court and jury
might hear plainly what was being said.
Speak up, Mr. Wetherhorn," said the
curt. ‘‘Talk so that we may all hear
you. Speak, for instance, as though you
addressing a Sunday School meet
hig." There was another laugh at the ex
-1 nso of the witness, in which he joined
afl heartily as did the most disinterested
spectator.
\ ’he conclusion of the evidence given
by ;his witness, Judge Speer stopped the
h ! • hi tion if other testimony. It was
at i! is s’tageS)f the hearing that he di
-1(' hd the jury to return a verdict of not
guilt y.

LAW WOULD BE A NULLITY.
(Continued from Eighth Page.)
were patent upon inspection, a different
condition, it is claimed, from that allege!
to be in the indictment against Greene
and the Gaynors, to discover which. If
they be discovered at all, requires the
introduction of much extraneous evidence.
It is understood that the Attorney Gen
eral intends to proceed vigorously in this
matter, and that he will exhaust every
legal remedy to compel Judge Brown to
reverse his opinion. It may be that he
will apply to the Circuit Court of Appeals
for a writ of mandamus, to compel Judge
Biown to sign the warrant of removal.
Under the view of the law controlling
the case taken by the Attorney General,
District Attorney Erwin and every author
ity on federal practice, with the exception
of Judge Brown, who has expressed on
opinion, the remedy by writ of mandamus,
it is claimed, will be perfectly
proper and feasible, and will ac
complish the purpose sought. The writ is
to compel the doing by some governmental
olTlcer of an administrative act. that is.
one which he is specifically directed to
do by the requirements of law. but is not
to compel the doing of a judicial net,
where the decision, pro and con, is left
to the discretion of the officer to whom
the writ is directed.
It will be seen at once, lawyers say, that
this distinction is material as applied to
this particular case. In the view' of the
law announced ; and held by the district
attorney th 6 judge to whom application
for a warrant of removal is made, is
compelled to grant it whenever he is
served with a certified copy of the indict
ment and proof of the identity of the
parties. In this view* of the law the sign
ing of the warrant of removal is an ad
ministrative act, pure and simple. Under
the view of the law’ announced in the
opinion of Judge Brown, on the' other
hand, the judge to whom an application
for such a warrant is made, must not on
ly be satisfied of the fact that an indict
ment has been found and that the men
before him are the men indicted, but he
must bo satisfied further tha* the grand
jury had probable cause to return the
indictment. In determining what is or is
not probable cause, it can readily be
seen that there- is wide opportunity for
the exercise of the judicial power.
If, therefore, the Circuit Court of Ap
peals should be satisfied and shoyld hold
that the grant of a warrant of removal,
upon proof of the indictment found and
of the identity of “the parties, is compul
sory upon the judge to whom application
is made, it would, according to
the opinion of legal men. issue the writ
of mandamus against Judge Brown and
require him to grant the warrant. If the
court should hold, on the contrary, that
the judge must look for probable cause
to bring the indictment, the remedy by
w rit of mandamus would not be applica
ble.
District Attorney Erwin was asked if
the government w'ould apply to the Cir-,
cuit Court of Appeals for such a w’rit, to
compel Judge Brown to grant the war
rant of removal. He replied that it
would not be proper for him to antici
pate the action of the Attorney General
and declined to discuss the question.
FOR CRUELTY AND DESERTION.
Mr*. Amanda Newman llns Filed Suit
for a Total Divorce.
Mrs. Amanda Newman filed suit for a
total divorce in the Superior Court yes
terday against her husband, J. B. New
man, who, she says, is now living in Cuba.
Cruelty and desertion are allied as
grounds of divorce.
The" plaintiff shows that soon after her
marriage in 1897, her husband became ad
dicted to the habitual use of intoxicants,
and that while und. r the influence of
liquor frequently treated her In a cruel
and Inhuman manner. She says that he
was given to applying to her the vilest
epithets, rfind that on one occasion he
i ame home drunk, pulled her from the
1 ed in which she was sleeping, threw her
on the floor, struck her with his fist.
From the treatment she suffered she was
for some time confined to her bed. Upon
her refusal in any manner to condone his
defense her husband deserted her and has
since refused to contribute to her support.
The plaintiff avers that she was always
a dutiful and obedient wife to the defend
ant and acted up always to the full meas
ure of her wifely duty. She asks that she
be granted a total divorce. An order di
recting the service of process upon th©
defendant by publication was granted by
the court.

THE MOKNING NEWS: FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1900.
TALK IS NOW' FOR EGAN.
GENERAL OPINION THAT HB WILL
813 CENTRAL'S PRESIDENT.
Many Who Believe*! Mr. Comer’s Suc
cessor Would He Some Other, Say
Ma|. J. F. Hanson of Mitcon or >lr.
G. Gunhy Jordan of Columbus,
Have Changed Their View* and
Are Confident Mr. Egan NYU! fio
Chosen When the Directors Meet
Next Monday—ln That Event There
Will Very Probably Re No Vice
President—Mr. Egan Would Per
forin the Duties of Itotli Positions.
Railroad men grow more certain as the
time for the meeting of the Central’s di
rectors approaches that Vice President
John M. Egan will he the choice for pres
ident to fill the vacancy left by the death
of Mr. Comer. Those who considered Maj.
J. F. Hanson or Mr. G. Gunby Jordan of
Coluihbus a more likely possibility have
nearly all ve red arouhd, and their money,
figuratively speaking, is on the vice pres
ident.
The meeting of the directors will be held
next Monday at the offices of the com
pany on Bay street. None of the Northern
directors are expected to be present, an
understanding that induces those who dis
cuss the matter to believe that it is pretty
well known among those chiefly concern,
ed that Mr. Egan is to be the man, and
that everything has been settled to that
end.
Mr. Egan was seen yesterday about the
coming election, but he maintained the
same attitude that he has since the dis
cussion as to Mr. Comer's successor in
office. He has nothing to say when, asked
who w'ill be the next president. Neither
would he say’ that the office of vice presi
dent would be continued.
Its universality would to indicate
that the belief that Mr. Egan will be the
man is correct. It is generally thought
that he will be chosen piesident and will,
in addition to the duties of that office,
discharge his present dunes as vice pres
ident. Such an arrangement w'ould he fol
lowed by an increase in salary, as that of
the president is considerably less than
that of vice president.
When Mr. Egan came South more than
three years ago to take charge of the
operation of the Central as vice president,
the position was made because of the need
for such a man. Mr. Comer, though an
admirable business man, had not the ex
perience necessary for the physical oper
ation of such a railroad as the Central.
Possibly, too, there was not the disposi
tion to undertake such heavy work.
Conditions will have changed when Mr.
Egan is elevated to the presidency, as it
seems he may be. There will then be a
president thoroughly familiar with every
duty that could devolve upon the chief ex
ecutive, and the need for a vice president
to take charge of the operation would not
exist. It is almost safe to sa,y there will
be no vice president if Mr. Egan H the
choice of the directors.
It is believed the favorable comment
that has been made throughout the section
through which the Central runs is largely
responsible for the directors who have the
weightiest influence having declared for
Mr. Egan, as k is thought they have. For
merly there w r as talk of none other than
a Georgian or, at least, a Southern man
from somewhere about the territory the
Central traverses ever being t>resident of
the road. Mr. Egan has demonstrated so
satisfactorily in many ways, however,
that he is a friend of the section and al
lied to its every interest that the newspa
pers have voiced the sentiment of the peo
ple in naming film as president. This unan
imity in his favor must have weight, as
directors of a railroad are anxious to re
tain the good will of the people who give
it their patronage.
From a gentleman who is about as near
ly on the inside as one can get. it war
learned yesterday that among those whose
ideas upon the question are most likely to
be verified by the event Mr. Egan is re
garded as the coming man.- Tills g ntle
man himself thought not long since that
the directors would choose one else, hut
he, too. has now gone to the majority and
considers Mr. Hgan the next president.
V LINE TO PHILADELPHIA.
Central Railroad Make* a Propo
sition to Business Men.
The Committee on Transportation of the
Trades League of Philadelphia has ;t defi
nite proiKisition from the Central of Geor
gia Railroad, the Philadelphia Record
gays, relative to the establishment of a
direct line of steamships lo that pert.
Philadelphia has long wanted such a line,
and the Record has the following to say
relative to a meeting of the oommittee:
“The most assuring evidence of a
speedy •realisation of ihe project was the
proposition made by the Central of Geor
gia Railway, through its vice preclde
and manager, John M. Egan, which was
carefully considered by the committee. If
Philadelphia will accept the proposition
submitted the fleet will extend its regular
trips to Philadelphia. What Ihe details
of this proposition are the committee
thought advisable not to make public un
til they had been submitted to the Trades
League and that organization had tak©n
official action in tho matter.
"it is the sentiment of the Transporta
tion Committee that the plan suggested be
accepted, ps the requirements, the com
mitteemen say, with slight modifications,
are not only reasonable, but feasible ns
well. Several of tho members of the com
mittee called attention to h© fact that
Philadelphia's commercial interests were
at present suffering from the lack of a di
rect line of steamers between this and
Southern ports. It was stated that under
existing shipping facilities freight had to
be paid from here -to New York and from
there back to within a short distance of
Philadelphia, and thence to the South, in
many eases.
“At the same time large shipments from
the South are (shipped to Philadelphia via
New York or other ports, there to be re
handled and delayed, instead of being sent
by boat direct to this city. Tho present
mod© is much slower and by far more ex
pensive, and by no means so safe, as the
rehandling of good* means damage, 4n
many instances.”

surveys will be made, taking in the sub

another special for hotel help will he run.
The other train was from Thumasvllle,

Police mu a msv day.
Means a Busy Session of Police
Court.
The police were busy yesterday arrest
ing parties on charges on the way from
chicken stealing to assault with intent to
murder. At midpight some twenty
prisoners had been gathered in, and the
Recorder wdll have a busy time of it this
morning.
Tom Myers, colored, was arrested by
Officer Winn on account of his having
cut Charles Atkins in a row that oc
curred on West Bay street the night be
fore. A'kins was pretty badly sliced up
but none of his wounds are likely to prove
serious.
Another good catch was made by Offi
cer T. C. Murphy, who gathered in Tom
Young, colored, a chicken thief whose
activity in carrying on his trade, and the
shrewdness and daring of whose raids
are only exceeded by his seeming immuni
ty from punishment. Y'oung lives in Dit
termersville. but has operated success
fully on hen roosts within a radius of
several miles of his headquarters.
The police have been on the lookout for
him for the past several months, but ow
ing to an escapade that he had one night
w ith Officer Murphy,'he wisely left town
and returned only a few days ago.
The immediate crime for which he is
wanted, occurred about four months ago.
So frequent and so heavy had been the
raids on the hen roosts of residents of
the southern part of the city, that Offi
fvr Murphy had been stationed in that
s.-ction for the express purpose of cap
turing. if possible, the thieves, or at any
rate to break up their almost nightly
Visits. While engaged on this duty one
night ho espied romine: towards him.
Young, who carried a crocus sack, with
him w'as another negro. When he saw
the officer, Young became suspicious and
giving the bng to his confederate as soon
as ,i,o officer started for them, ran away,
abandoning both his partner and the bag
of chickens, as it afterward proved to be
to their fate. The officer succeeded in
capturing the man with the chickens,
and he is now serving a term on the
chaingang for his complicity in the
efts Young hears a bad reputation
and will doubtless Join his former
friend and companion in crime for a
