ANYTHING EXCEPT LIGHT WINES AND NEVER REEK—TAKES LIQUOR WHEN DOCTORS PRE- SCRIRE IT. Atlanta, May 27.—It has turned out that when the sensational charg es were sprung last week ajainst Attorney T. B. Felder, they were I supposed to be followed by Mr. Fel der’s arrest, but that the police lost their nerve. About the time the affidavits were given to the public, the detective department, which, with Beavers, it is understood, had de cided to press a criminal charge of bribery against Mr. Felder, found out that A. S. Colyer, Jr., who had worked up the charges against Fel der, had an alleged criminal record of his own. This knowledge, it is said, caused the police to abandoii their idea of immediately arresting Felder. Ac to whether Mr. Felder is to be arrested now or not, the whole question will be put up to the grand jury the latter part of this week. ft seems pretty certain that Fel der will not figure in the Frank trial. The prosecution say they do not want his assistance. Mr. Mitch Sampson has lost two horses in the past two . days and their death is due to a most unusual and peculiar circumstance. Both horses ate part of a fifty-pound sack of Hour on Fiiday night, the flour being stacked in a wauon in which Mr. Sampson delivers his groceries.
