THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: MONDAY. NOVEMBER 21. 1892. TlieGoherluvestigatioD Drag ging Along. BUT IT IS INTERESTING. 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. nit legislatubeT Ccorals'! t*s,7 Makne Arc Working '/c.loo.l; Vtr (ho IVopl,'.

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 -.-ill net recover. Olliers will be crippled 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. LINK WAGONER’S WAYS. Several Murders Charged to th* Louis ian* Desperado. Mlnden. leu.
