Jeweler Found Badly Wounded.
Atlanta, Dec. 19.—0 n entering a
jewelry store at No. 6 Central av
enue Tuesday night at 12 o’clock, Pa
trolman Gib Davis found the owner,
W. M. McNeill, prostrate on the floor
with a shot wound in his abdomen.
Mr. McNeill, for some nights past,
has been spending the night in his
store, Avatching for burglars'. On
Monday night he caught one in the
act. It is thought someone must
have come to avenge the arrest of the
negro thief. No one seems to know
of anyone bearing enmity towards the
man. He was taken to the Grady
hospital at once. His injuries are
not of a very serious nature. The as
sailant is unknown, for the wounded
man would not talk.
Motor Boat Race Arranged.
New York, Dec. i'j. —The proposed

United States arrangements are in
the hands of Major John Sewell, of
Miami, and a citizens’ committee.
The proposed course, which is 160
statute miles. leads from Miami
across the Bahama banks. The date
of the race has been set for Feb. 1,
and the navy department has prom
ised that a suitable vessel will be
available for duty as escort to the
tlnv fleet.

AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, D. CEMBER 21, 1906.
FIFTEEN YEARS IS
GIVEN TO TURNAGE
Convicted of Attempted Crimi
i
nal Assault.
STATEMENT MADE BY VICTIM
In Passing Sentence Judge Roan De
clared that But for Recommendation
of Jury He Would Have Given the
Limit of the Law.
Atlanta, Dec. U r . —“But for God
coming to my side just at that mo
ment,” dramatically declared Mrs.
Carrie Comstock, as she rose from
the witness chair in the 4 superior
court room, and pointing at Robert
Turnage, “that man would have dis
honored me. But,” she continued,
“as he passed his hand over my face
I seized one of his fingers in my
mouth, and clenched my teeth upon
it. Then he struck me in the face,
broke my nose, and when I finally
tried to escape, struck me on the
head with a water pitcher, and curs
ed me as 1 lay prostrate and help
less.”
It took the jury but a short time to
determine the fate of Robert Tur
nage, a young white man but 2S
years of age, tried in the superior
court under indictment for attempt
ed criminal assault upon Mrs. Car
rie Comstock, the wife of a city wa
ter meter reader, who in pursuance
of her business as "a solicitor for a
cooking propound, called at the house
where Turnage was, in the afternoon
of Dec. 7, and, upon being admitted
to the house by Turnage to see “the
lady of the house,” was brutally as
saulted by him. Guilty, with a rec
ommendation to mercy, was the ver
dict of the jury, immediately after
the rendition of which Judge Roan
said:
“Stand up, Turnage. Have you
anything to say why sentence of the
law should not now be pronounced
upon you?" asked Judge Roan.
“Only this, judge,” said the pris
oner, without the flicker of a nerve
as he stood shoulder to shoulder by
the side of his white-haired father,
who trembled when he heard the ver
dict. "That I made a truthful state
ment on the stand.”
“In deference to the jury,” said
Judge Roan, “I will sentence you to
serve 15 years at hard labdr in the
penitentiary. The maximum pun
ishment I might inflict would be 20
years, which is what, but for the
recommendation of the jury, I would
have imposed upon you. Yours is
one of the most brutal crimes I have
known of, and but for the interpo
si.icn of Providence, this good wo
man, who has a kind, motherly,
Christian face, would have been your
victim. I cannot strongly enough
characterize your cowardly and bru
tal attack upon this good woman.”
Physically. Turnage bears none of
the ear-marks of a degenerate. Ho
has a clear skin, is well-formed, and
is apparently above the average man
as regards intelligence. His defense
was that he was mentally irresponsi
ble at the time of the assault, and
this plea, put forth by his attorneys,
Mcdison Bell and Mark Bolding, was
r o -uglily ridiculed by Solicitor Gen
eral Charles D. Hill, who represent
ed the state.
“Think of it!” cried Mr. Hill. “It
one ear i? larger than the other, il
your palate is high, and you love
oysters and have short fingers, the
case is made cut. You are crazy!
'that's all that needed, according to
the remarkable s.atement made by
the defendant's witness, Dr. S. R.
Roberts. ”
j. NY. Turnage, his head whitened
by ..to passage of many years, the
father of the plumber on trial, testi
fied that his son had always been of
a roving disposition, slep. in the
woodshed at home, and did other un
conventional things. Besides, tht*
father declared, the son inherited the
taste for drink from his grandfather.
Madge Turnage, the sister of the
defendant, declared that her brother
was quarrelsome without reason, and
without cause, had threatened her
and her brother. Policeman S. L.
Rosser testified that Turnage was
drunk on the day he arrested him,
after the alleged assault.

FACING STARVATION
And Appeal Is Made for Aid for
Stricken Ones
WHOSE LANDS ARE INUNDATED
Coditions in North Kiangsu, China,
are Appalling—Crops are Practi
cally a Total Failure, and Food
Supply is Almost Exhausted. •
Washington, Dec. I/!.—Official ad
vices received here from the prefect
of Huainfau regarding the famine in
North Kiangsu, China, confirm the
stories of suffering and want among
the people of that section. The crops
are reported as being almost a total
failure in Taoyuen and it is stated
vthat by the new year this meagre
supply wlil be exhausted.
The conditions in Antong and Fu
ning are still worse, the crops being
practically a total failure. The coun
try everywhere is under water and
for a distance of 50 miles the people'
were compelled to wade through the
water from knee deep to waist deep
and in some places to their necks.
The prefect states that in the part
of country immediately -west of Tsin
gho, what formerly was a fertile
plain covered with good crops and
prosperous hamlets, is now a vast
lake, extending 20 miles at the nar
rowest-point and stretching for over
40 miles toward the southwest. An
urgent appeal is made to the people
of all foreign lands for aid for the
stricken people, whom state depart
ment advices already have placed at
fifteen million.

est list of indictments ever returned

bates on ice shipments. The Ann Ar
bor railway was indicted on a like

pus in the city court. The peti
tioner, Mrs. P. J. Railey, of Macon,
Ga. , had filed petition for her release
from prison where she had been, held
upon instructions of her husband.
The pathetic feature of the case was
t.he appearance of the daughter, a
pretty child of eight years, the cus
tody of which Mr. Railey petitioned
the court to give to him. .A com
promise by the counsel of the parties
settled the matter amicably, giving
the child to its father in considera
tion of the husband rescinding his
charges against the woman.

Sage loaned on Manhattan real estate
recently.
