PHYSICIANS ARK VERY HOPEFUL All tile Condition* Were Favorable—The Governor Signed a Condemned Wan’* Respite During tho Day—Fully Comclou*. 'The physicians attending Governor Atkinson, after watching hts condi tion closely throughout the day, held a consultation at 8 o’clock and unani mously decided that an Immediate op eration was advisable. Drs. Willis F. Westmoreland and F. W. McRae were called Into this con sultation by the other physicians, Drs. Holmes, Nicholson, Cooper, Harris and North, who had been In attendance since the first seizure.. Both, Dr. Westmoreland and Dr. Mc Rae, agreed that the operation was necessary and that the governor’s con dition could not be more favorable to perform It than tonight. t - Governor Atkinson, who has been conscious and in full-possession of all his faculties, despite his/ terrible suf fering, expressed his wllllngendss to submit to the Judgment of his physi cians. Mrs.' Atkinson and the family, who have been loath to agree to the operation, acqutesed, and at 10:30 to- - night the governor was removed to the operating room of the sanitarium of Dr. J. B. S. Holmes, across the street from the mansion, where all ar rangements for the' trying ordeal had been prepared. v At the time of his removal Governor Atkfnson's pulse and temperature were remarkably good, considering what he has gone through within the past thirty-sir hours, and the physicians agree that the operation can hardly fall to prove successful.

Mrs. Atkinson and the family, with the governor’s three brothers, accom panied him to the sanitarium, where he will remain until out of all danger, he will remain until out of all danger. Ether was administered and the op eration performed about 11.30 o'clock by Drs. Westmoreland, Cooper, Nichol son, Holmes, McRae, Harris and North. It was pronounced successful, and at midnight’ the governor is vesting quiet ly, still, however, under the Influence of the ether. WILD MEYERS ON TRIAL. Ills Second Trial for the Murder of Forrest Crowley. Atlanta, June 17.—(Special.)—Willie J. Meyer was placed on trial for hts life for the second time today fop the murder of Forest L. Crowley. 1 Tho case was called immediately upon the opening of co'urt this morn ing, Judge Hart of the Oconee circuit presiding in the place of Judge Rich ard H. Clark ,the regular occupant of the bench In the criminal division of Fulton superior court. When court opened the court room was thronged with a curious crowd of spectators. At the former trial the crowd overran the bar enclosure and almost took possession of the bench and pury box. This overcrowding of the court room was made one of the grounds toy the new trial and was sustained by the supreme court. To prevent a repetition of the former con dition during the progress of the trial Judge Hart, upon assuming the bench today, ordered the bar enclosure clear ed of all persons except lawyers, and the mob will be kept separated from the participants In the case tills-time. Meyers appeared In court wearing a nicely fitting dark suit, with spotless linen, and dressed altogether with the same careful attention that character ised him before landed behind prison bars by the Crowley murder. He sat with his father and counsel, W. T. Moyers and Virgil Jones. One of the first arlvals was Seaborn Crowley, brother of the murdered man. At the former trial Mr. Crowley took an active hand in asslting the prosecuting attorneys, having absorb ed himself In tho task of accmulatlng evidence against Meyers. When he came Into the court room today, how ever, he sought a seat among the spec tators. The lawyers for the prosecution are Solicitor General Hill and Messrs. A. S. Clay and W. C. Clenn. The entire day’s session was spent In empanelling the Jury, which will not be completed until tomorrow, as a great/ deal of trouble Is being expe rience 1 In selecting competent men. On! he first trial the onjy testimony for y defense was Meyers' statement. This pie, however, the prisoner's at torn* y have subpoenaed a large num ber t fitnesses and will probably In- trodu | r them for the purpose of es- tabllt ng the truth of Meyers’ eft-re- peate assertion that he was merely in the hands of Brown Allen, tually committed the murder, rtate. to offset this, will Intro- witness named Brown Allen. the motion for the new trial vie the defenseallcged that the »1 Brown Allen was a resident ton county and lived on Cherry :ek. The prosecution undertook to run this Brown Allen to earth, and hure enough they found him. But In stead of the flashy, tough Individual described by Meyers as the murdirer, he proved to be an old countryman, who had never been to town before. This just suited the prosecution, and the Brown Allen of Cherry Log creek was promptly brought to Atlanta to be used In fastening tho crime of murder upon tho prisoner. The Crowley murder Is still fresh In the public mind. It was one of the most atrocious crimes In the criminal history of the state. Last August Forrest L. Crowley, a steady-going business man of Ros well, came to Atlanta, accompanied by his father, a wealthy manufacturer, to sell a lot of mules, which Will Moy ers. a beardless youth of 20, had bar gained for with him at Roswell. When Crowley arrived he was taken In charge by Meyers and driven out to Westwood Park, a projected residence section west of the city, ostensibly to see some land and meet a partner In the purchase of thef mules. Meyers returned to the city In the bugsy alone, bespatter with mud and excited. He had a roll of money with him, though usually without much spare change. Going to a store, he bought a new suit of clothes, and then registering under the name of C. D. Morelein.at Folsom's Hotel, changed his clothes and left the city. Before he could get away, however, he met the. murdered man’s father on the street, and when asked where Crow ley was said he didn’t know. Meyers was captured In Cincinnati, having had his hair dyed to escape detection. He denied the murder, de claring that a mythical Brown Allen had done It, using him as a tool and decoy to get Crowley out to Westwood Park. Crowley’s body was found the day after Meyers left town, by his father, who with detectives, was searching the woods, their suspicions of foul play having been aroused by the circum stances leading up to Crowley's sud den disappearance.

The rlronm*lnnco« Lead to the Itdllef That the United Stato* Rluy De Called Upon to gey lloiv It Shall Act on tho Case. Washington, June 17.—Ther Is rea son to believe that tho United States government will have occasion at no distant day to give another Interpre tation to tho Monroe doctrine as ap plicable to the acquisition of an island off the coast of Venezuela to be used by Germany for a navy station. The attention of oltlclale recently has beon directed to the lntersts of Germany In that locality. An enormou„ amount of German capital has been invested in Venezuela of late under peculiar circumstances. The government of Venezuela gave German capitalists a guarantee of 7 per cent, on a road that it was sup posed that about 84,000,000 would build, but the outlay reached 83,000,000. By the terms of the guarantee Venezuela now becomes responsible to the Ger man syndicate for 7 per cent, on thia 88,000,000. Tho road’s promoters do not hope that It will pay 7 per cent. It Is oald to be this and similar German Interests that arc Incllng the German government to regard with favor tho acquisition of an Island off the Venezuelan coast to be used as a naval station and as a port of a base of operation for Germany on tho American contlnet. The circumstances are such as to lead to the belief that tho United States will again bo called upon to define to wlmt extent tho acquisition of ter ritory by foreign powers on South American soil Is compatible with the Monroe doctrine. Official Intelligence has recently reached her that Sir Vincent Berring- ton, representing the most extensive British Interests, most strongly urged upon the British government the Im portance of an amicable settlement with Vcnezulea as a means of protect ing British Interests In that country. Sonor Andrade, tho Venezuela min ister here, when asked as to Ger many’s purpose, said lie had not been Informed of any intention to acquire one of the Venezuelan islands for a naval station, Tho Information reaching tho au- thorltles here, however, lias come from other sources. It Is believed that the new United States minister Venezuela, Mr. Thomas, who has just left for hts post, Is fully conversant with tho German phase of tho sub, Jeot. It Is understood also that tho new German ambassador, who is soon to arrive, Is likely to havo a full un derstandlng of Germany’s desire com corning Venezuela.
