G. Gools by, T4-yearold blind invalid and her daughter, Nettie, at their home in Oglethorpe county yesterday was confined in Fulton Tower to day. Gaines was carried to Atlanta this morning by the Sheriff of Barrow county, after a crowd had gathered last night intent, it is believed, on storming the jail for the prisoner. .The man was caught by a son‘ of John Henry Glenn in Oglethorpe | county late yesterday, after he had been hunted all day by a posse of about five hundred men from Clarke, Madison and Oglethorpe county. Deputy Sheriff John Paul,[ to whom Gaines was delivered by his captor, brought the Negro by] Athens where he was told that it would be safer to carry him to another jail at a greater distance than Athens from the scene of the crime. Seriously Injured Meanwhile, today, Mrs. Goolsby and her daughter were still in a «emi-consecious condition at the General Hospital. Hospital attaches said early this afternoon the daughter is not expected to live but that the mother has a chance to recover. At Danielsvilie, Judge B. T. Moseley s=aid that a special term of Oglethorpe Superior court to in diét and try the prisoner will de pend on whether Mrs. Goolshy and her daughter recover from their injuries. If their injuries prove fatal it is possible that the grand jury will be called at once and the man tried at a special term of court, inasmuch as the regular ‘term” of * court does not begin until late in September. It is said that the crowd which all day searched the swamps of the Broad river in the Millstone creek district in Oglethorpe for the Ne gro was disappointed when Dep uty Sheriff Paul “spirited” the prisoner away. Two members of the posse said here today that the Deputy Sheriff told the Negro’s captor that the prisoner would be carried back to the scene of the erime and delivered to the crowd after being identified. It was about an hour before news of the Negro's capture reached the main body of the posse and by that time Sheriff (Continued on Page Five) Paralysis Spreads In North Carolina RALEIGH, N.

S. Not Likely Before August Long Hearings and Debate Slated Before Passage By Congress OTHER ISSUES UP “National Youth Move"” Slated to Get Under Way in Ten Days WASHINGTON — (#) — Long hearings and debate on President Roosevelt's tax-the-wealth pro gram were planned today by Demo cratic leaders, forestalling final action possibly until late in August. 'This was the latest development under the proposal to levy inheri tance taxes and boost taXes on large incomes. Previously the im pression had existed that final votes would be sought by Saturday night. President Roosevelt yester day disavowed any intention of seeking such speed. The wealth taxes will not be at tached to the $500,000,000 ‘“nuis ance” tax resolution now before the house for concurrence in sen ate amendments. Instead, leaders said, they will bewritten into a separate measure and put through in regular order. The house ways and means committee will start hearings early next week, i Ship Subsidy Bill ‘ Debate on a motion to take up the ship subsidy bill continued in the sepate today. On the other side of the capitol, the house neared a vote on this legislation and then was ready to take up the disputed public utility holding company le gislation. Opponents of the new ship sub sidies clashed with administration leaders over whether there should he a roll call vote on final passage. The critics of the bill, under which the government would pay ship owners the difference between for eign and domestic operating and construction costs, believed that a roll call would line up more votes on their side than a mere voice vote, Bitter Fight Observers looked for one of the hitterest fights of the session over the utility holding company mea sure.
