Green and Gaynor
May be Pardoned
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 1. —Gaynor
and Green, the two most famous
prisoners, after Morse, now eon
fined in the Federal penitentiary
here, have !>)th made application
for parole undei the workings of the
new parole hoard which will meet
here in two or three days, as soqn
as Superintendent Robert La Dow
arrives. They are legally eligible
for parole, and rumor has it that
their applications will he looked on
with favor.
The story that Morse would pos
sibly be paroled proved to be sim
ply another of those baseless pieces'
of apparent “press agent” work
that have appeared frequently since
his incarceration. Morse isn't eli
gible and hasn’t applied.
The rule is that a prisoner must
have served two-thirds of his sen
tence and must have a record for
good behavior. Both these re
quirements are fulfilled in the cases
of Green and Gaynor. Their four
year terms will expire next Febru
ary. Gaynor has been in ii! health
since his incarceration, and at times
it has been doubtful if he would
survive his .sentence, but it is said
the prospect of shortening his term
of service even by a winter, has gi
ven him new life.

Joe Wallace, a man about 45
years of age, and a piosperous gro

daughters, Misses Estelic and Lollie
Belle, were awakened by a rapid
fire of pistol shots in their moth w’s
! ropm adjoining that of their own.
; The eldest daughter, Miss Lena,
I was also aroused and together the
three girls hastened to their parents
to find the cause of the shooting.
Upon entering the doorway thej
saw their father standing by their
mother's bed, while she lay gasp

W allace turned to leave the room
and seeing 1 iis little son, Felton,
coming in at the other door v ex
claimed, '[ will get you, too,” and
at the report of the pistol the child
fell to the floor. Stepping over the
prostrate form Wallace went out the
door, after picking up his pants on
the floor, and feeling in his pockets
for his keys as he walked, went to
his grocery store, only a few yards
below the house, and going in re
loaded his pistol and returned to
the house.

TWICE MAHUIKI)
Joe Wallace had been twice mar
ried. By his first wife had four
children, one son and three daugh
ters, all grown. The son, Leon
Wallace, has a position in Atlanta ;
and was not at home. His daugh
ters are Lena, Lollie Belle, and Es-1
telle. Wallace’s second wife wa.s a
daughter of Andrew (). Bowman, a
farmer residing in the upper part of
the county. She took an active
part in religious work, being a
member of several societies in the
Baptist church, of which church he
was also a member. Their married
life, so far as the general public
knew, was a very happy one, al
though it is stated by some that she
was of a very jealous temperament.
About seven years ago Mr. Wal
lace was awakened at night by a
noise on his front veranda and after
opening the door slightly, saw a
form in the darkness, whereupon he
called to his wife to bring a lignt,
and as she held the lamp he took
deliberate aim and slot the man
dead. He was a negro who worked
for the Seaboard. It is thought
that possibly this occurence preyed
upon his mind had something to do
with last Might’s trajedy.
All three of the bodies will he
carried to Hog Mountain, Mr. Wal
lace’s old home, six miles above
Lawrcnceville, for burial.

ciety observed last week as a week
of prayer. The program was beau
tifully carried out; the leaders of
each afternoon handled their sub
jects well: instructive leaflets and
j papers were read on the different
branches of our work, and the talks
■ made by the different members were
j both profitable and pleasing. Sweet
music was rendered each day. Al

tern-ting, as well as spiritual meet
ings of its kind ever held in our
church. Good crowds attended
and a nice little contribution was
raised for Ruth Hargrove Institute.
Our president, Mrs, Grimsley, has
been zealous and faithful, and has
done much for the prosperity of the

Amount of money expended for
local work 887.81, Number of mem
ber.- 83, Number of Titliers9, Nuin-*
lof Subscribers to “Our Homes” 9,
