VERY VOLUMINOUS IS
APPEAL IN ORR CASE
Vo Document of Snell Length Has
Been Handled by the Bocal Courts
Since tlie Famous Woolfolk Trial.
The typewritten appeal in the Orr
case was yesterday forwarded to the
state court of appeals by Clerk of
the Superior Court R. A. Nlsbof.
Clerk Nlsbet says that the appeal
Is the longest handled by his office
since the famous Woolfolk trial
, more than twenty years ago. The
charges for Its preparation will be
nearly eight hundred dollars.
The appeal covers every feature
of the Orr trial and the subsequent
hearing of a motion for a new trial.
Every word spoken before the jury
by judge, lawyers and witnesses Is
given, and there are copies of every
document introduced In the case.
The-whole covers 791 pages and re
quires the use.of more than half a
million words. The pages are neat
ly bound In leather binding, the
portfolio weighing about eighteen
pounds.. The judges of the court
of appeals will have to review every
line of it In considering the appeal
for a new trial. As this will require
some time. It is not thought that the
decision will. be handed down for
several .months^ a
Several appeals have beeh copied
by the local court officials that ag
gregated about. 150.000 words, and
' they were coasidcred unusually
large. The Orr copy is, • however,
the most voluminous- known to the
courts of this section for over a
generation. The portfolio was ex
pressed to Atlanta, being too heavy
i to go through the mails,
i}- The services of several stenog-
;• rapherss for .a period -of six weeks
/was necessary to the preparation of
the appeal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Pres

of having a thorough examination
and report mado on the character
of the foundations that underly the
locks and important dams along the

FLUSHING, N. Y„ Dec. 18.—The
trial of Thornton J. llnlns, on
charges of aiding Ills brother, Capt.
Peter C. Halns, Jr., la the kllllug of
William E. Annts, was adjourned to
night until Monday, after a day la
which the state developed the
strongest testimony so far adduced.
Two witnesses, Herbert F. L. Funke
and Arthur Andrews, both eye-wit
nesses of the shooting, swore that
there was an Interval between the
first shot flred by Captain Halns at
Annls and the others that came in
fairly rapid succession.
Actions of Thornton llnlns.
Both of these club members de
clared positively that Thornton
Halns pointed his revolver at those
on the float after the first shot and
before the succeeding shots were
flred. An exhaustive cross-examina
tion on this point, material to the
prosecution's case, failed to shake
their testimony. Andrews stated
that following the first shot ho saw
the defendant point Ills revolver at
the witness’s father.
"There was a first shot, then an

shots in quick succession, then a

What Happened to Undo Billie Jordan
of the Macon Fire Department.
Here la something of a coincidence.
On the 17th of December of last
year. Uncle (Billlo Jordan, tho man of
the fire department who In adltlon to
his other duties, gets up all the infor
mation about the fires, tile mlttUte tho
alarm is turned In, the number of tlu*
box, the cause of the alarm, the owner
and occupant of the flred house* and ail
the other information, waa In the office
of the city treasurer.
It was pay day, and ho was about
tto receive his pay. The payroll was
before hint and he had the pen uplifted
roudy to sign his name for tho amount
the city pays him for ids faithful ser
vices, when an alarm was sounded.
Tile big bell over the city hal! told the
tale. He dropped the pen and hurried
to the Arc, and got his pay’afterward.
Now*, on the 17th of December this
year, he was in the treasurer’s office
to receive his pay. The payroll was
before him. and he had his pen up
lifted ready to sign h’s name. Tho
big boll over the city hall struck tho
signal for tho boys to run to the Red
mond- Massec Fuel Co.’s yard. Ho
dropped the pen and run, and got his
pay afterward.
And It was within a few minutes of
the same time the alarm was turned in
one year ago. If- he doesn’t forget it.
he will watch out next year and sec if
it will happen again.

said Andrews.
Graphic Description of Tragedy.
Tho Witness, Funke, gave a
graphic description of tho shooting
of Annis. Standing by with his arms
folded the army captain waited un
til Annls' boat swept up beside the
float, said the witness, then lifting
the obscuring sail, Captain Halns
flred several shots at the publisher.
Justice Crane admonished the
jury to be careful agd not permit
any one discuss tho case with
them at their homes and then ad
journed court until Monday.
John Tonning Is Located.
John Tonning, the boatsman, who
seised Captain Hains by the wrist
at the time of the shooting and
who has been missing since early
in October, has, been located and
he will likely Bo u witness in the

standing about a yard from the cap
tain, who seized the boom of the
boat with his left hand and with
his right drew a revolver, crying,
“Annis.” 'ihe captain flred nt An
nis, and almost immediately Thorn
ton Halns pointed a revolver at the
witness, who was about seven feet
away. The witness said Captain
Hains then flred about four more
shots at Annls, paused and flrod
again. Mr. Funke spid ho could not
bo certain, but thought Captain
Halns flred six times. Thornton
Halqs did not address the witness
when pointing the pistol at him.
"The shooting had not ceased when
I noticed Mr. Roberts who came for
ward,’’ said Funke.
Drew Pistol on Roberts.
"A pistol was pointed lf» Roberts’
direction by the defendant. They were
about three feet apart”
“Was there any conversation later?”
"Yes, between Mr. Downs and tho
defendant. Mr. Downs asked The de
fendant to turn over his gun and ho
replied: 'There will be no more shoot

Corporation, was the first witness
before the ways and means com
mittee today when the steel schedule
was takci} up. lie had been sub
poenaed
Judge Gary said the United
States Steel Corporation can produce
iron and steel materially cheaper
than most of its competitor?, lie
estimated tho differences in cost at
about a dollar a ton.
Don’t you believe it is more than
a dollar a ton?” asked Chairman
Payne.
“I do,” replied Judge Gary.
Its Advantages.
“The corporation, which has a
decided advantage in the quality
and quantity of ore and an advan
tage in owning its own lines of
transportation by lake and rail, can
naturally manufacture pig iron
cheaper. I think there is r.o doubt | petit
that tho difference is more than two
dollars.”
It had been testified nt a pre
vious tariff hearing that the United
States Steel Corporation can produce
pig iron at a cheaper cost than most j ’ "»|
other steel companies, hut informa-; inf
tion as to the cost of production
abroad had no’t been obtainable.
Judge Gary testified that the cost
to produce pig Iron in England Is $9
a ton; that tho lowest cost In Lor
raine district of Germany is $3.50
a ton and in other parts of Ger-jah
many $11 a ton. He said that ellm- nn

He said lliat the Roneral mannfae-1

Cost of Pig Iron.
Judge Gary declared tho average
cost of producing pig iron iti all the
United States Steel Corporation
plants Is $15.30 a ton.
An important declaration wns
that the ore is now poorer In qual
ity than formerly and thnt tho cost | ‘ xj
of production is therefore increased, i this entertainment |h In tin* hands
“What ^peHentripe of 4hw vppoltic- ‘ommlttce that work:
tlon Ik turned out by yoTir com
pany?” asked Chairman Payne.
“Last, year, 41.7 per cent of nil.”
"How much In 1002?”
“A little less.” Judge Gary said
he would not he averse to furnish
ing tho committee the figures for
1906.
Judge Gary was asked by Mr.
Payne to give the cost of manufac
turing steel rails and gave the fol
lowing figures for rail making by the
Bessemer process:
Cost Steel Balls.
The manufacturing cost of pig j
iron for one ton, of stool rails is j
$15.06; for tho cost of converting
pig iron into Ingots $2.88; the cost
of converting Ingots into rails $3.22;
for depreciation 84c; for adminis
tration and tnxes, 81c, making a
total of $22.81 as tho cost of pro
ducing one ton of steel rails. Judge
Gary said that - this cost is cheaper
than tho cost at which tho com
petitors of. the steel corporation can
produce rails. Ho sold thnt. the
United States Steel Corporation pro
duced about. 50 per efint of tho steel
rails manufactured during the Inst
five years. Judge Gary gave tho
prices of rails In foreign countries.
The. domestic price in Germany, lie
said, Is $29.02 a ton, and the export
price Is $22.20; In Great Britain,
$27.98 and $23.81; in France there
is a difference of $8.
"They «!o not do In Europe ns they do
here." said the witness. "They dump
their surplus In foreign mnrkets When
business Is dull In their own."
At another point Judge Gary said the
average mill price on mils for export Is
7* per rent less than the domestic price.

lands. This rumor was current yes
terday In both America and Europe
nnd apparently originated in Bogota,

It Is believed that the only basis
for the report Is the recont declara

a state of defense, because of Hol

Even If the war rumor should
