JOHN HOLLOMAN
EXPECTED HERE
His Wife, Who Llvas in East Macon,
Btlievaa Ha Will Return Christ
mas—8h# Oaniea Dstective's
Reports.
It Is not unlikely that John Hollo
man, the alleged chief com pi ra tor In
the Brownsville affair, and tho one
person wanted by the gov«rnment to
tell the real facta of that affair, will
come to Macon next week to visit his
wife and two children, who live here
in East Macon.
Federal detectives and others have
searched for Holloman ever since the
riot In the hope of obtaining a state
ment from Mm, but he has never been
located by them. Holloman's wife
stated to a Telegraph reporter yeater.
day, however, that he was living in Ht.
Louis, and that she somewhat expected
him to return to hla home this Christ,
mas.
Worsey Hollomar, the woman, says
that she and Holloman were married
In Macon In 1198, and that after liv
ing with her for four months her hus
band enlisted In the army. Ha has
Since returned only at intervals of two
and three years. Hts last vlalt hero
kVM more'than three years ago, or
about *Jour months before the ‘Browns
ville occurrence. Before ha entered
the army, Holloman was employed In
tho Bibb Mills In the dyeing depart
ment. He was horn and reared in (his
city.
After his return from the war he
was stationed first at Fort. Grant. Ari
zona, and then in the Philippines,
where'he remained three.years. Upon
his return to this country, ho was sent
to 'Brownsville. Before this time ho
only sent his wife money at Christ
mas, but the remittances were larger
and came oftener after his stay In
Texas began. This Is accounted for
by the fact that Holloman was re
ported to be the most successful card-
player of his compuny and was one
of the owners of a negro miloon there.
He also wrote regularly.
Three days before tho riot Holloman
wroto hla wife a long letter and sent
her twenty dollars. She did not hear
from hitn then until ten months after
he had been discharged, when his chil
dren received some presents. His tat
letter came Christmas a year ago, when
he stated that he expected to visit
his homo a year hence, or December
of tho present year. As sho has not
heard from him since, his wife believes
that he Intends coming here next week.
In none of his letters did ho ever al
lude to the Brownsville occurrence or
state wliy he had left the army.
Holloman's wife says that the re
port made by detectives to the gov
ernment in regard to hla residence here
after tho riot Is false In every parti
cular. Sho sa>*s that sho has nover
been approachod by detectives In re
gard to .tho matter until this week and
that no person, directly or Indirectly,
hns over questioned her about Hollo
man's location and hla connection with
the shooting affair. She particularly
denies^hut he ever "kept a store In
the suburbs of Macon," as tho report
mntlo to Prealdent Roosevelt Mated,
or that he has been hero within the
last three years.
Worsey Holloman has been employed
by somo of tho best known families of
the city as housemaid and is consider
ed an honest, truthful negro woman.

Yesterday Mr. Ben L. Jones turned^
over the sum of $101.04 to Mr. Jesse

HAVE ABOUT SIGNED
MANA6ER FOR
LOCAL CLUB IS PARTIAL TO JOHN
J. LAW LOR, WHO IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED—HIS
RECORD.
It Is very lik'ely that John J. Lawlor
for four years at the head of the Utica
club of the New York State League,
will £e the next manager of the Ma
con team.
The local owners have been so
strongly adv’sed to-sign him. and such
excellent recommendations have been
given Lawlor, it is probable that a
contract will be arranged.with him
without delay. He is very anxious to
come south, especially to Macon.
ChaVles J. White, the well-known
representative of the Spalding firm who
Is In the city, has urged the owners
to sign Lawlor at once. "He la not
only a -plaasy outfielder and a good
hitter but an excellent handler of play
ers and a capable manager," says Mr.
White, "and I think he would be very
successful in the South Atlantic
League."
Lawlor Is also highly recommended
by President J. H. Harrell, of the New
York State League, and by President
Charles W. Boyer, of the 8outh-Atlan-
tlfr. Furthermore, hla record is one
that reflects much credit upon himself
both us a player and as a manager
Taking charge of tullend team at the
close of the 1904 season, Lawlor
brought the club up to fifth place In
the next year, and finished only 84
points behind the leaders. That year
he played In 128 games and batted
In 1906 the club had another relapse,
finishing sixth. Lawlor hit .248. The
^season of 1907 was his successful one.
The club ended In third place with
honors, being only 18 points behind the
pennant .winner. Lawlor only played
In 48 games and hit .205.
Last year the club again finished
third, and Lawlor did great things. He
batted more than .300 and whs in the
race all of tho time. The purchase of
the club by H. D. Ramsey, who will
himself manage, took the managerial
reins from Lawlor. but as evidence of
his worth he was offered the captaincy
at the same salary he had been receiv
ing. Ho Is desirous of leading n club
however, and for that reason Is open
to offers. Lawlor will fit nicely In
the local outfield, as center Is vacant
owing to tl\p departure of Murdoch for
St. Louis. Lewis and Shea will, of
course,* be in left and right, respec
tively.
While satisfied with Lawlor's record
and believing that he is a good man.
the local owners are In no particular
hurry to sign. It may be that a still
better manager will happen along, and
they are therefore waiting.

N. L. BRUNNER, RECENTLY STAR
OF COTTON STATES LEAGUE,
WILL JOIN THE LOpAL
TEAM.
Tho Macon club has received the
signed contract of N. L. Brunner, a
pitcher, who is expected to be one of
tho twirling mainstays of the club next
season. The local management Is very
fortunate In securing his services, ys
he Is badly wanted by several clubs,
and partlbularly by Charleston. In
fact, Wilson Matthews recently gave
out the report that he had signed
Brunner. Such, however, is not the
case, as the player will positively come
here.
Brunner has a great record, which
ho established in tho Cotton States
where he was a star. Lost season he
became fll only a few weeks after the
schedule opened and could not play.
Accordingly, he was given his release.
In 1906, as a member of tlie Meri
dian club. Brunner pitched thirty-six
games, winning twenty-three and los
ing thirteen. He finished with a per
centage of .639. In 1907 he was al
most as good, winning twenty-five and
losing eighteen, resulting In an aver
age of .581, Ho only pitched three
games last year, but won two of them.
iBrunner is noted for his steadiness,
although ho Is a pitcher with great
speed. His average for two years is
only two passes per game, while his
record of hit batsmen and wild pitches
Is very small. His strikeouts average
nearly six per game. Brunner’s rec
ord is all the more remarkable because
he was pitching for a club-that fin
ished below the .600 mark. With a
winning tqtm it Is likely that he would
have, copped jflany more victories.
Although s<fme eight pitchers. In
cluding two from the New York Amer.
leans, have been s'gncd. St is practl*
cally certain that nene of them will be
carried. As Bill Clark and Sam Weems
will return, the staff, with Brunner In
cluded. will be almost complete. Four
twtriers will be carried, and St re-
plains for one additional pitcher to be
selected. . , ,
Brunner has written that he Is de
lighted with tho prospect of pitching
In Macon. He says he has fully re
covered from the effects of hhi Illness
and Is In better health than ever bt
fore. He is only 24 years of age.
