Atlanta, July 30.—“Unless the Legislature provides some definite and sure means for raising money to meet the deficit, the appropria* tions bill as now reported will have to b? drastically and unspcirelngly cut,” declared Governor John M. ■Platon this morning, in the course of an exclusive interview to this news service.

The Chairman of Finance • Committee was endeavoring to get J the money at a low rate of Inter est and at the time was unable to I say what amount he could get, and minutes therefore went to p-ess Hugh M. Dorsey at the outset, by declaring, in answer to the prosecu tor’s question, that Frank was “a3 cool when he discussed the crime as he is right now." Mr. Dorsey then stated that ho had been misinformed as to the probable nature of Scott’s evidence, and asked permission to read from the record to refresh his memory. The defense objected to this, and the judge sustained the objection. | “New Evidence” Today. In the testimony of R. P. Barrett, machinist, the State today pro duced the first new evidence offered in the trial, so far. Barret* who was employed the factory where the body was found, stated that he discovered blood spots on the floor of the room where the murdered girl worked, and also found several strands of halt' on the handle of a iathe. Later he said he found a portion of her pay envelope while cleaning the machine which she used. lars and costs, was fixed by the Jury, which took less than ten minutes to agree on the verdict. j Mayor Luke, vigilant and vigor- Cincinnati July SO.—Hu he nen-| ous in his afforts to keep Thomas- ton, the st.1- pitcher for the Cio- villp hi Its proper place In the eoa- ckinati Nationals, was probably fa- "foliation of Wiregrass cities, has tally Injured In a motor-cycle aecl-1 decided on a cleaning up day In Au- dent, 111 the Walnut Hills section of;<f us! ’ ,f e believes that the folks thiB city, at an early hour this morn-, should he proded a hit on this ques- ing, .when Ills motorcycle collided! tio, ‘ <> f cleanliness and, |n order to IS THREATENED New Evidence” Not in Evidence So Far in Trial—Jury Won’t Get The Case This Week.
