The father and Mr/,Thad Holt, a half brother of the man unter arreft, will leave this morning for Jacksonville to gee what can bo done about the mat* ter. The death waa nuppoied to,be due to suicide, but Mr. Holt's arrest waa mado because of a suspicion that aro».* In the minds of the coroner's Jury. The Florida Times-Unlon and Cltlsen tells the story of the alYair, but say* Yhar the man's wife was the only *ye-w!t- tieu, and that the tertifle* her hus band committed suicide because the was In 111 health un*l could not get re lief from psln. Mr. Holt bOArded with the man, whose name was Georg* U. Crmv. Mr. and Mrs. Cruse had three children. A neighbor saw Mr. Holt walk out of the after the shooting, and this, cou pled with the fact that the dead man's pistol, with ths emptied chamber, was lying on th» left side of the dead body, Instead of the right side, seems to hsvs caunrd Mr. Holt to be suspected, and the coroner's jury, acting up >n these two circumstance* had the young man arrested. The wife of the dead man testified before ths coroner's Jury that during the night her husband complained of his 111 health! and suffering, and, Jump ing out of bed, seised his piriol and de clared that h« intended to end the whole trouble. 8he began to scream and Mr. Holt rushed front his room to ms what waa happening. Before he got to the Cruses' room, however, the pfcstol tired, and the tnun fell dead. Mr. Holt then went back to his. own room, and In passing acmes the frbnt 'pinna, rsw a neighbor, anJ called out, stating what had happened. The pistol, although It appears to have belonged to the dead man. teems to bo the principal cause of the arrest, for the coroner's Jury could not under stand how a man standing ei The Macon public is said to b« a lit tle nervous about some things at this time, and whenever any mysterious movements are noticed In legal circles people's thoughts naturally turn to In junction* Thia wan the cas$ yester day when President John M.
