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.
