BLOODHOUND IS MATERIAL
WITNESS IN THIS CASE
Atlanta, Nov. 1. —That a bloodhounl
can be a witness in a criminal case j
and that the hound's character and
intelligence can be put in evidence, tU?
same as with a human witness, is the
substance of a highly interesting rul
ing made hy the state court of appeals
in the case of Thomas Aiken versus
the state.
The first point to be proven before
introducing such evidence, the court
holds, is that the dog is a good blood
hound, well trained and reliable i l
following the human scent.
With the above restrictions, the
court ruled that evidence obtained b/
the employment of a bloodhound to

EAST AMERICUS
WILL BE GIVEN
ANEWBUILDING
REMOVAL OF CHURCH THERE
i
For Site On Kees and Lamar
Streets
Today, for the last time, services
will be held at St. Paul’s church, in
East Americus, at its present location,
as the building is to be removed this
week a distance of a quarter mile to
another and more desirable site at the
corner of Rees and Lamar streets,
near Oakgrove cemetery on the nortn
side.
The work of removal will be done
by Mr. Crawiord Wheatley, who is
doing a great work in the general im
! provement and beautification of East
I
Ardericus and where, very soon, 1.0
1 will erect a handsome mansion as his
|
own home.
Mr. Wheatley has secured the full
consent of the conference oificers and
of the church membership as well for
the removal of the building to a new
and better location, which he has giv
en the congregation as a church lo*.
He will bear the entire expense to be i
Incurred in the removal of the build
ing.
The new lot is much nearer the cen
tre of population for East Americus
residents, and the church will be more j
available to residents of Church
street, and that vicinity. Mr. Wheatle'
has plans for a modern new buildinj:
which will be far handsomer and gen
erally more attractive than the pres-j
ent edifice.
Materia! in the old building will b»
used to an extent in the constructio; j
of the one, so that it will still be
St. Paul’s church, improved and beau
tified.

Aiken was convicted of burglary in

the hound as a witness contained somi
striking paragraphs, for instance the
, following:
“That to admit the dog's evidence
would deny the defendant his consti

“That the dog could not be sworn

WILL TAKE LONG
TIME FOR SUPREME
COURT TO ACT
Atlanta Nov. I.—lt will be March or
April 1914, before the Leo M. F*rank
murder case is decided by the Georgia
supreme court, in the event the case
follows the ordinary course of events.
The bill of exceptions will be drawn
up next week, and will be presented
to Judge L. S; Roan to sign without
delay, but the supreme court docket is
always heavy, and the bill of excep
tions will not be returnable until
March, 1914, since the return day for
tba October term has passed some time
ago.
If Leo M. Frank hangs, therefore,
fer the murder of Mary Phagan, the
execution will in all probability take
place some time next summer. In the
event the suprem:• court sustains the
lower court there is no further court
appeal possible, and all that would
stand between Frank and the executifi.i
o’ the sentence would be possible ex
ecutive clemency.
While no living soul ventures to pre
dict or even suggest what the supreme
court’s decision may be, there is ,«
general feeling that there will hardly
Le any middle course in the final dis
position of the Frank case. The nature
o: the case makes it one in which th,
piincipal should either go absolutely
free or should be hanged, dependng on
whether he is innocent or guilty. Al
though the lower court has affirmed
Frank's guilt, the. higher court has still
t > pass upon it, and it is therefore in
that sense an open question but if
Frank is finally determined guilty ny
ail courts which have jurisdiction, the
case is one the nature of which wiil
ir> all reasonable probability prevent
any governor from interfering.
