LAWYER MAKES
ANOTHER MOVE
To Try to Save the Rawlings Boys’
Necks.
Valdosta, Ga., May 24.—Attorney
Cooper, for Milton, Leonard and Jesse
Rawlings, sprang a surprise here to
day with an extraordinary motion foi;
a new trial, arguing the same before
Judge R. G. Mitchell at length. Among
his contentions were new evidence and
the declaration that Milton Rawlings
was of unsound mind at the time the
crime was committed, before and
since then. He had affidavits to this
effect from several citizens of that
section. An affidavit in rebuttal Was
made by Sheriff Passmore, who said
that Milton was not'of unsound mind.’
An affidavit was also read from a ne
gro named Elbert Freeman, who was
in jail with Alf Moore and claimed td
have a confession from Moore that the
Rawlings boys had nothing to do with
the killing. This evidence was rebut
ted by an affidavit from Mr. F. I. Mc-
Ree who knew the negro and said that
he would not believe him on oath. An
alleged confession from J. G. Rawlings
printed last October was also brought
in to show that the elder Rawlings and
not the boys was responsible for the
killing. The case ‘consumed several
hours and was argued with a good
deal of vehemence. Judge Mitchell,
however, overruled the motion and it
is believed that the supreme court will
get throug-'i with it before the day of
cxecutldn, which is only two weeks
off. In the meantime, the attorneys
for the boys are moving heaven and
earth to save them from the gallows.
HID HER MONEY
aLl OVER HOUSE.
Money Found After Death of Eccentric
Woman.
Amertcus, Ga., May 24.—Prominent
citizens of Andersonvllle who arrived

lars in gold and bank notes concealed
in the dwelling of Mrs. Josephine Sulli
van, who died there Tuesday after
noon. Mrs. Sullivan was an aged and
eccentric woman, the widow of the
former keeper of the national ceme
tery at Andersonvllle, and reported to
be wealthy. She evidently distrusted
banks, as the coin and bank notes were
found concealed in mattresses and
crevices about the dwelling. Mrs. Sul
livan's wealth Is believed to exceed
this large amount considerably, and
further search of: the dwelling and
premises Is being made. Forty-live
hundred dollars of the money found
was brought here this afternoon and
deposited in bank by relatives.

will be .the largest In the history of
that organization.

dele, Rome, Amertcus, Thomasvllle
and Waycross are expected to send
large delegations, and many of the
other lodges of the state will he well
represented. A good deal of advertis

very well fall to understand that the
Georgia organization will he In ses
sion In this city next Tuesday and

sion of the local lodge of Elks on
Wednesday evening, there will be a
stag social session, an occasion that
will appeal to every visiting and local
member of the order.
I A number of the visiting Elks are
expected to bring their ladles, and the
