*rro Sent Up for Life, Tlionjeh Dead
Man Said Shooting Was an Accl
dent.
Atlanta, April 19.—James L. Baker, who
killed his wife, Mrs. Beulah Baker, laat
Friday night, was convicted in Judge
Candler's court this afternoon of murder
and sentenced to be hanged on May 10.
In less than a week from the time the
deed was committed the slayer has been
sentenced to death. The case was taken
up this morning. All of the evidence was
in at 12:30 o’clock p. jn. when a recess was
taken. Very few witnesses were put up
by the state. For the defense, nothing was
offered except the prisoner's statem >nt.
The evidence showed a clear case of mur
der.
Baker did rot deny that he had shot
with the Intention of killing his wife. He
claimed she was untrue to him and said
that when he entered the room In Kenne
eay alley, he saw Mrs. Baker in Chari’ 1
Pittman’s embrace indulging in a lavish
Interchange of kisses.
"If I'd er had Dewey's cannon. I'd er
turned it aloose," he said' Eater he sa.d
he was sorry for it.
Negro Goes l p for I.if* 1 .
Notw ithstanding the dead man stated on
his death bed that he thought the shooting
was accidental, the jury to-day tound had
Gilbert guilty of the murder of Moae
White, another negro, and the prisoner
was sent up for life.
The killing occurred on March 29 on East
Cain street. Gilbert claimed the shooting
w’as accidental, and he had no thought
o J killing White. He said White asked
to see the pistol, and as it was being
headed to him it was accidentally dis
charged. _
The dead man’s father said after his
eon was wounded, he asked him if Gil
bert had shot him purposely. The wound
ed man shook his head. This evidence
would not have been admitted by Judge
Candler, If it had not been brought out
on the direct examination of a witness
for the state.
The defense offered to prove by two
doctors, that after he was wounded, Mose
■White told them the shooting was acci
dental. Judge Candler held that this was
merely an opinion of the wounded man,
and was therefore inadmissible.
DOCTORS ENJOY A DINNER.
Their Discussion Was Mainly of
Needed Legislation.
Atlanta, April 19.—The Georgia Medical
Association held two sessions to-day,
morning and afternoon, and to-night gave
themselves up to an enjoyable banquet at
the Kimball House, tendered by the local
members.
The committee, consisting of Dr. Hiers
of Savannah and Drs. Elkin and Nlcolson
of Atlanta, appointed yesterday afternoon
to report on the recommendations made
by Dr. James B. Baird, reported this af
ternoon tecommending that the association
renew most vigorously the fight to secure
the passage of the bill to make confiden
tial communication lietween physicians)
and patients privileged communications,
and the bill authorizing compensation for
expert testimony given in law case?
The special committee also recommended
that a local committee composed of the
members of the association be appointed
in Atlanta to co-operate with committees
appointed from the membership of
the association in the counties of
this siate, and that these committees
go before the General Judiciary Commit
tees of the next Legislature and urge the
passage of the above mentioned bills. This
Is in fine with the recommendation of Dr.
Baird, reported last night.
The attendance at the afternoon session
was slim, Dr. McMaster of Waynesboro,
presiding. A letter was read by Dr. Ches
ter King from President N. W. Kean of
the American Medical Association, asking
the Georgia Medical Association to use
Its Influence to kill Senator Oallinger's
bill prohibiting vivisection. Members of
the body were requested to urge their
Congressmen to oppose this measure. The
association voted to oppose the Galllnger
bill.
Interesting papers were read on hydro
phobia, appendicitis and the use of spec
tacles.
BROOM SWEPT UP A FORTU NE.
Box Found Containing Thousands.
Nelms Given Ills Liberty.
Americuft, Ga,, April 19—Mrs. William
Parker, residing near Amerlcus. stumbled
upon a fortune this morning while sweep
ing her yard. The broom caught in some
obstacle partly unearthed by recent rain,
which proved to be a rusted and decayed
tin box containing a solid block of paper
money two inches in thickness. The bills
ora mildewed with age and so compressed
together that their value cannot be deter
mined though they are probably worth
several thousand dollars. Nobody knows
when or by whom Ihe treasure was bur
k-d, but the general supposition is that the
money was probably concealed during the
Civil War and its whereabouts forgotten.
B. A. Nelms, traveling salesman for a
Griffin factory, was released from Sum
ter county Jail this morning after a con
finement of several weeks. Nelms was
charged with selling ICO pairs of sample
pantaloons wllhout making a return of the
proceeds. The prosecutor humanely de
cided to allow Nelms' release upon his own
recognizance until Superior Court con
venes. The prisoner was formerly a mer
chant here, conducting an exlonsive busi
ness, which failed last summer.
THOMAS, THE RAPIST.
Gov. McSweeney Will Order a Special
Term of Conrt to Try Him.
Beaufort, S. C., April 19.—Gov. M. B.
McSweeney and party, who have been
here on a tour of insertion of the phos
phate interests, returned to Columbia to
day. Yesterday the party went down the
river on a pilot boat for a drum fishing
excursion.
It Is quite probable that George Thomas,
the negro who assaulted a young white
woman near Hardeevtlle Easter morning,
and who is now in the county jail, will be
tried st a special session of court, which
the Governor says he will order al once.
The Court of General Sessions dots not
convene until May 2s. and it Is htge-,1 that
before that date Thomas will have been
brought to trial. *

A BAD MAN JAILED.
He Hod Threatened to Kill the
Mayor of Dublin.
Dublin, Ga., April 19.—0. F. Ellison
was brought from Baxley yesterday by
Policeman W. Z. Kemp and lodged in
jail.
Several months- ago, while serving out
o city sentence of three months upon the
streets for the illegal storage of whisky,
Ellison escaped and has since been at
large and probably would be now, had in*
not been indiscreet enough to write 10
Dr. J. H. Walton, staling that since his
escape he had visited Dublin twice, for
the purpose of killing ex-Mayor, but now
Judge John S. Adams of the City Court
of Laurens county, and That he expected
to return once more end accomplish this
purpose. Dr. Walton turned the letter
over to Judge Adams, and through the
agency of the police officers at Baxley,
Ellison was arrested last Tuesday after
noon.
Ellison will now have to finish his city
sentence and then answer to two state
cases for the illegal sale of whisky.
When he is through with this, he will he
turned over to the federal authorities upon
the charge of violating the postal laws,
by sending threatening letters through
the muffs. * v -
Ellison came to Dublin several years
ago from MUledgeville, and was for a
while upon the police force, but was dis
charged for drunkenness. His first offense
thereafter was to break nearly all the
ore light globes in the city by shooting
them with his pistol.

Charleston. S. C., April 19.—The second

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, APRIL 20. 1900.
SENATE CONFIRMS WALLACE.
TILLMW.S REQUEST FOR EARLY
ACTION ACCEDED TO.
lie Regaled the Senate With the
Glory of the **l!!lnd Tiger” in the
CuMtoni 11 mi mo and the Conversion
of the Clwtern Into One* HJg Coek
ta.ll—Depew in Story Tell
ing:—Tolbert Crovnl to He DinmiMM
ed From the (TiMtom lloime.
Washington, April 19.—C01. Wallace of
Sumter, is now' collector of the port of
Charleston. His nomination was confirm
ed by ihe Senate in executive session to
day at the instance of both of the South
Carolina senators.
During the day Senator Tillman received
a number of telegrams from prominent
business men in Charleston, urging prompt
confirmation of Collector Wallace.
Senator Tillman explained to the. Senate
the circumstances of Collector Wallace’s
appointment, and the senators were greit
ly entertained by his recitation of the
story of how former Collector Tolbert and
his deputies converted the Charleston Cus
tom House into a “blind tiger,” ami upon
being discovered by the state officers, de
stroyed the contraband liquor by dumping
it into a sewer in the basement of the
Custom House.
Senator Tillman amused bis associates
by relating to them how the Custom House
officers had unintentionally brewed about
80,000 gallons of rum punch w’hich is now
on draft in the cistern which supplies
the Custom House with drinking water.
In trying to get rid of the liquor the vio
lators of the state law’s emptied the casks
of whisky, wine and rum into the sewer,
supposing the liquor would flow out into
the harbor, and perhaps into the shrimps,
sea bass and other fish which abound in
the harbor.
There appears to have been a leak in the
sew’er, so that the liquor flowed into the
cistern, w’htch supplies the Custom House
w’ith drinking water, thus polluting the
water supply and rendering it unfit for
use.
Depew and the Hlind Tiger.
Senator Depew, in supporting Senator
Tillman’s request for prompt confirmation
of Collector Wallace, entertained the sen
ators by relating his experience as a par
ticipant in the capture of a “blind tiger”
in Charleston harbor, on the occasion of
the visit of the Gridiron Club to Charles
ton last New Year's day. So interesting
was the narrative that Senator Depew
was obliged to give further details of that
memorable invasion of Charleston by the
Gridiron Club, ably assisted by Senators
Depew and Tillman and Representative
Champ Clark of Missouri.
Collector Wallace, accompanied by
“Boss” Webster, had an interview with
Senator Tillman before the Senate went
into executive session. Mr. Wallace say
he will have no difficulty in furnishing
the $50,000 bond required. He is president
of a hank, also interested in a telephone
company and a cotton factory and is pre
pared to give bond without delay and take
charge of the Custom House.
\\ lint W allace Will Do.
In his interview' with Secretary Gage.
Collector Wallace requested permission to
take one jday off week from his offi
cial duties to look after his personal busi
ness interests. After the situation was ex
plained. Secretary Gage realized that Col
lector Wallace Is making something of a
personal sacrifice in accepting the collec
torship, and accordingly granted the re
quest.
There if* to be a general overhauling of
the Custom House force appointed by
former Collector Tolbert, and it is under
stood that all of the latter’s appolnteea
are to walk the plank. This means the
iteeapitation of Deputy Collector Osten
dorf and the rest of the Tolbert crowd.
Collector Wallace is troubled over the
; disposition of the 80,000 gallons of rum
| % punch in the cistern.He wl 1 probably
have it pumped out and pipe all the fish
in the harbor to free grog.
TOLBERT IS RATHER LATE.
He Cannot Aow Make Fight Against
Wallace’s Confirmation.
Charleston, S. C., April 19.—J. W. Tol
bert to-tlay was officially notified of his
removal as collector of this port. While
he will not make u statement for publi
cation, it is understood from his friends
that he means to oppose the action of the
President in every way in his power. His
fight will probably take the form of op
posing the confirmation of the appoint
ment of Mr. Wallace as his successor.
ANOTHER MILL CHARTERED.
Capital Projected in Carolina This
Year Is $5.(17R,r00.
Columbia, S. C., April 19.—The Buffalo
mill of Union, was chartered to-day, cap
ital stock $600,000; also the Middleburg

of other mammoth mills at Union. The
total capital projected in new mills this
year is $ ,005,000, and in enlarging old mills
$370,1X0. Total $5,675,000.
