Guinn Was a Prominent Lawyer
Wi'a Was Mias McCays, of Me
Cays, Tenn., and Belonged to i
Wealthy and Prominent Family.
Blue Rtdge, Ga., Jan. 11.—About
three weeks ago Colonel W. A.
Guinn, of McCays, Tenn., was as
sassinated while enfering his front
yard about 9 o'clock at night.
Ever since that time the coroner's
Jury has been Investigating the crime,
and until Friday their investigations
have been Trfcpt a profound secret.
John Ellis, of FanHIn' county, who
has been held under bond as a wit
ness in the murder, has made a con
fession which is highly senniional. He
states that Mrs. Guinn, wife of the
murdered man, divided $250 between
himself and John Allen who Is nowln
Jail nt Benton, Tenn., for the murder
of Colonel Guinn. For this amount
either he or Allen were to kill Colo
nel Guinn.
They stationed themselves at the
two gales which gave entrance to Col
onel Guinn’s premises, and at which
ever gate Colonel Guinn entered who
soever was stationed there was to
shoot and kill him. This was the
agreement.
It seems from Ellis' statement, that
Colonel Guinn eiiTdred by the gate
where Allen was stationed, and Allen
shot and killed him. Ellis also gave
Information where was placed the gun
with which tho murder was commit*
ted. ~n Investigation the gun was
found as Ellis staled. Ellis also
stated where could be found a bot
tle of turpentine, a part of wulcli was
used on their feet to prevent the dogs
from tracking them.
Mrs. Guinn and Ellis have both been
placed under arrest.
On account of the standing of the
parlies much Interest is manifested.
Colonel Guinn was a prominent law
yer, and citizen of McCays. and his
wife, who was a Miss McCays, be
longs to one of fte wealthiest anj
most prominent families of this sec
tion. Her family occupies a high po
sition both In social and business cir
cles.
Able lawyers are said to have been
employed, and a vigorous fight will
be made. Mrs. Guinn denies all
knowledge of the alTair.

New York, Jan. 12.—The recent
complaints of brokerage houses that
little Interest was taken by the pub
11c In cotton speculation during the
last season's cotton trading and that
large proportion of their accus
tomed business had been lost, seems
(o be borne out by a statement by
one of the largest brokerage firms
since the books have been balanced
preparatory to the new year's busi
ness.
This shows that trading fell off with
that particular house from an aver'
age of $38,000 monthly last year to
loss than $5,000 montly this past sea
son. The bulk of the trading which
comes to N’ew York Is from out-of-
town connections, mainly In the
south.
Decline In profits and poor prospects
for the near future have led at least
four Important cotton houses here to
abandon their southern wire service.
Another firm has cut Its service In
half.

charged with selling liquor without
license, the Jury returned a verdict of
not guilty, whereupon they were se-
ercly reprimanded by the judge for

to the Jury when their verdict was
announced. The views of Judge J.
F. Brannen on the liquor traffic are
well known.

residents of the Panther Creek neigh

have been driven from their homes by

and many of the farmers are returning
to their homes. They were badly in
need of provisions, but in several of
the houses live fish were found on
the floors, being left there by the re
ceding waters. Id the home of Jo
seph Adkinson, a 12-pound buffalo
fish was found. The farmers have
no fresh meat, and the fish were
greatly enjoyed.

hows conclusively that stock must be increased, as well as
the working force, both of which shall be done in due time.
The same motto, (that of quality), shall be maintained.
At your service,
