A Sharp Thrust From Major Facon
Puts a Quietus to Mr.
liicnn.
EXAMIKATIOX OF WITNESSES BEGUN
The Legislature Still Pegging Away
On Bills of a Local and General
Character—Widows' Pen
sions to Be Reduced
Atlanta, Nor. lO.-tSpodaM-Tho
Gobcr Investigation wu» continued to
day. The feature of the session was a
sharp controversy between Maj. Ha-
con of the committee nml Sir. Glenn
ns to the character of evidence nil-
mlsslble, which ended In the commit
tee's substantially resdttdlng its for-
mer ruin? confining the Investigation
to the charge <>f alteration of a court
record and extending It to three dis
tinct charges contained In the memo
rial to the house-first, the refusal to
grant a supersedeas; second, the alter
ation of the record; and third, the Is
suing of a rule ulsl for corrupt and ty
rannical purpose.
Mr. McAfee continues to sit on the
committee, but he has not so far said
anything In open committee.
On the reassembling of the commit
tee this morning, Mr. Glenn stated that
he had not Intended by any remarks
to had made yesterday to reflect in
any way on the committee, und if be
had been so understood he desired to
inako full apology therelur.
Two letters from Judge Oober, re
commending the pardon of two of tho
defendants In the anon enss were of
fered ns evidence.
Air. Glenn htid started In to explain
that Uiey proposed to show that the
rule nisi against them (Olcnn & Mad
dox) had been Issued for a corrupt pur
pose, when he was Interrupted by JlaJ.
Bacon.
“You might as well make up your
ntnd now, Mr. Glenn,” said Alaj. Hu
ron, "to coniine yourself lo the charge
that Judge Uotier mummed these too-
onls. This committee will not go Into
nny matters Involving the discretion of
tile Judge.”
A Sharp Pai.Hgr.
Mr. Glennt “Very well, sir; then 1
Will wait.”
MaJ. Bacon: "You will wait, sir.
Tlmt remark, Mr. Glenn, Is entirely un-
worthy of you. Tou are not tho prose
cutor In this case. This Joint legisla
tive commute, appointed to Investigate
tho charges nganst Judge Gobcr, bus
by courtesy allowed you to appear be
fore It, and you have no right to speak
that manner t0 this committee.”
MaJ. Baron spoke with some appa
rent warmth, betraying some Indigna
tion at tho tone of Mr. Glenn's re
mark.
Air. Glenn replied with equal anima
tion. He first addressed himself to
MaJ. Bacon, but that gentleman beg
ged him to address his remarks to the
chairman, which ho did.
Ho declared that there were three
separate and distinct charges In the
memorial presented to the legislature.
One wus tho refusal to Issue the su
persedeas In the arson case. The soc-
ood was the alteration of tho motion
for a new trial after it had become a
matter of court record. The third was
the Issuing of a rule nisi against the
defendants in the arson case for op
pressive purposes of the Judge's own.
These throe charges had been mailt
lieforc the house of representatives rep
resenting the people to whom they hnd
appealed after failing to find Justice
In the court presided over by this man
Oober. nml If they were not to be al
lowed to support those charges, even
though they were only two prtvnte cit
izens und were not bolstered up by n
four years* terra os Judge or with scrip
for office Issued redeemable two and
four years from now, ho wanted to
Lknow It. The charge of corruption in
Vho issuance of the rule nisi woa ns
Vent as that of the alteration of the
r\ord. They allegud and were pre
pared to prove that this Judge had is
sued tho rule against them for corrupt
j.nrpoe,* of his own, nml Uint when he
churned he wanted the papers demand-
id In tliut rule for use m conueoUon
with an application for pardon he kuew
that a wo nf the four defendants bad
did and that tho other two had been
pardoned some months previous.
It U a* srn,ult,»mtl.
The slight passage at arms between
MaJ. Bacon and Air. Glenn created a
seusatlon among tho thirty or forty
spectators In the committee room. The
moaner of the two gentlemen was very
sharp, yet imJlously polite and dlgnl-
Ced.
M. Glenn explained In detail the con
nection of the charge against Judge
Gobcr. He oahl that their memorial
distinctly intimated by Its statement
of the facts that Judge Oober hail la
med the rule against them for the cor
rupt and tyrannous purpose of producV
lug the impression that they (Glenn &
Maddox) were responsible for the dis
appearance of tin- motion for a new
trial, wlierns lie knew that the papers
had been lu the pusscssiuu of the clerk
of tho court since they (Ulcuu A Mud-
dox) had had them.
Muj. Bacon said tbst he wanted it
distinctly understood that he, and he
believed he represented the sentiment
of the committee, was willing and ,io-
i'.roiis of having nny evidence admitted
that would throw nny light on any
thing charged lu the meiuoriaL They
were net there to stand on technical!-,
ties, ond any charge Ihst was made
an'ntantially in the memorial, even If it
was not Uteri'ty stated, would certain
ly bo considered by tho committee.

Paris, Sot. 16.—The guvaramcr* MB
providing tor the imposition of sererer
ponaltiea upon Anarchistic paper* that
incite to violence and generally adding
to the stringency of the press lawa, waa
introduced In the chamber of deputje*
today. An exciting dehate followed, but
tb<* Chamber adjourned without talaug
a vote on the measure. There waa a
full rtttcndan<*c of the members of tho
chamber aud the galleries were frown
ed. Great interest U wgnifeated In the
Wll. as upon iu fate depends the fate
of t3»e government. M. LaOuerre, the
well known Boulangiat member, opened
the debate. He declared he was irre
vocably opposed to the bill. It waa a
dangerous measure, tending to interfere
with the liberty of the press. The gov
ernment ought to prooeeute Anarchist*,
not journalists. This remark brought
forth loud amdauso from the member*
of the left. M. Lamer, reporter of the
bill, urged that it waa imperatively nec
essary to fill up the loophole in tho pres
ent pres* laws. The chambar. by anp-
portlug tJie bill, would show that jiberty
was not to be confounded aitb license.
Count Albert dfMuo, extreme Catholic,
said that the lamentable state of attain
evidenced by lira introduction of the u.il
was due to eecularixatation ot schools
nnd auti-religious education. I'rime
Minister Loiih»t pretested against the
iiKsertion made by Count deMun that
the Kcpublicfiu party aimed to destroy
religious belief aud that the governipeut
l»msecuted the pro-*»gauua of ofiicinl
The exisiing laws of the re
public. fjnubet declarefil. were founded
on principles of relighms neutrality, both
regarding schools and the administra
tion. The state government did not re
sort to coercion in any fonn. Loubel'a
remarks were greeted with cheers.

Madrid. Nov. 10.—A snd story of
a distrcss.ug and fatal intermp-

miles south of Halnmunca. A young
couple had just lo-en nmrrieil In n church
there and the wediliuu party hnd gone
to n restifunult. whore the .wedding
(cast wits served. Afmr the banquet
dancing was begun. Suddenly tbe walla
coltaiMeil und the eutire party, with
tbe employes of the renlnuraiit, were
buried in tho ruin*. A crowd quickly
gathered, and (lie police had no tlillicui-
ly in obtaining volunteer* for the work
of rescue. Crowbars and axes were soon
obtained nnd the work of clearing
away the wreck was begun us soon ns
possible. an<l. spurred on by frenetic ap
peal* for hcln. tbe men threw the heavy
timbers aside. They soon coop! across
tbe terribly crushed and nuingled body
of one of the wedding guests.. Soon
several parties who had been caught by
the fallen timbers were taken out alive,
hut badly injured. When the wreck wr *
cleared away sufficiently for It to be
known that no one rise was In .‘be
ruins, the bodies were lying iu a gba-:ly
row on the sidewalk. Tlie inilU-ed num-
liered thirty, some of whom It Is thought

for life. The building was thought to
be perfectly safe.
CONVICTS BREAK PRISON.
They Take Advantage of the Liberty
Shown Them unit Mutiny,
.Madrid. Nov. 10.—During tbe past
year several outbreaks among convicts
have occurred In tho prisons in various
pans of tbe country. Today the must se
rious of nil the scries occurred in the
prison at Tarragona, and nine nf the
coavk‘;s were kiiltd. The convict* have
been dJuatlsSed with their treatment
for some time and formed a plan fur a
general jail dellrery. Ordinary convicts
in tho prison* arc allowed considerable
freedom within tbe walls end this p cac
ti ee enabled them in this case to carry
out their plan. Shortly afler the pris
oners were released from thelre cell* this
morning they mutinied at a sign from
their leaders. They sprang upon the
wardens, and the latter, taken complete
ly by surprieo, were soon overpowered.
The convict* soon bad possession of the
prison, with the exception of the quar
ters occupied by the governor. Before
they' could secure the keys that would
give them their freedom the governor
ecnr an urgent appeal for aid to the
military authorities, who promptly re
sponded by sending a detachment of
troop* to the ocene. tVV-.i tbe oobllers
arrived they found a majority of the
convicts a on-m bled In th* court yard.
The commander of the troops called up
on the prisoners ho return to their cells,
hut he waa grectnl with oaths ami de-
r-sivo yells. Again ho ordered them to
go back. The otmriots, who bad nrrarel
themselves with all manner of tilings,
that could be used us weapon*, again
rrftued to obey, and in a lsjlij advanced
upon the soldiers. The rifles of tbe sol-
lieni were loaded srltli ball cartridges
and as the coovleta moved towards them
orderte wer* rapidly rive* for them to
fire. The order waa obeyed, , bnt before
the smoke had cleared away the con
vict* were upon the soldiers and a des
perate hand to hand fight followed. The
convicts sought to wrest the weapons
from the soldier*, but in this they wore
not successful. If they bad been, they
would bare probably driven the troops
off and made tiwtr escape. Acting from
the order* of their commanders, eome
of th* soldiers retreated from tbe strug
gle ng. yelling constate and reloe-led thJr
weapons. Then awaiting an opportunity,
When there waa no danger of hitting
their comrades, they would fire upon
tbe mutineers. A perfect pandemonium
reigned for a time, but fioaHy most of
the convict* were overpowered and
driven, still shontinc and enraing. back
to their cells. Nine of the mutineers
bad been shot dead and sixteen other*
seriously wounded. Tbe affair baa censed
great excitement in the dty. and it Is
•lensuded that fche (irivllegra of the
constats be curtailed. While th* fight
was proceeding within th* walla a dose
watch was kept by th* police oo the
erteid* eld in their attempt to gain
state had made arrangement* to receive
outside aid in their attempt to gate their
freedom. A dose investigation will he
mad* into the causes that led to the
mutiny.
