Dr. O. Q. Singleton of Fort Valley
was the next witness called. He
brought with him the grip found in
Hystt's room and sent to Fort Valley.
Raid he had known the deceased for
four years. Was called to his late
home at Fort Valley to witness' the
opening of the grip. The grip came
by express, scaled, and the on e brought
with hhn waa the grip that came by
express. It contained clothes, some
papers and a pistol. Tbe pistol was
produced In court and tne witness said
It was the one found tn tbe grip. Wlt-
sald he examined the body of
Judson Hyatt'after It reached Fort
Valley. He found a wound In the
left chest two Inches below the collar
bone. Probed the wound and found
Its course Inward and downward. As
near as he could decide by probing
there was no variation In the course of
the ball from the point of entering
to the point where It was found. Wit
ness Illustrated by measurement on
Judge Guerry’s person the point where
the ball entered and where It was
found, which was seven Inches below
the point of entrance. After extract
ing the ball witness said he probed, the
wound from hath sides and found no
deviation in the course of tbe ball.
Wltneee elated that where two men
of the else of Hyatt and MeAlllster
were faring each other, tt would be
hnposelble to Inflict such a wound
as Hyatt's, unless the hand was ele
vated.
Cross-examined by Col. Hammond,
witness said be bad several years ex
perience, such as a general practice
would offer, in the treatment of gun
shot wounds. Asked as to what would
cause a deflection tn the course of the
bullet, witness said it would depend
on ths chanter of the shot whether tt
was spsnt or moving at an Initial ve
locity. (Asked as to tbe probable course
of a hall fired from as pistol In the
hands at a taller man, witness said Its
course would be downward.
On tbs re-direct examlnatton Judge
Cusrry asked what weald have been
the course of a shot fired by a
of equal size with tbe man shot at a
distance of four or five feet. Witness
said the course of the ball would be
direct or upward. Witness said a
round bullet would be more apt to be
deflected than a conical.
THE DEAD MAN'S WIFE.
Mrs. Hyatt was tho next witness call
ed end ths court room was hushed to
stillness as be was led to the witness
stand by bnr brother. Mr. A. B. Green.
As ehe raised her veil the effort she
made to restrain her grief was manifest.

to her and Judge Guerry asked:
•'Mrs. Hygtt, fa that the letter brought
to you from Fort Osiucs?"
•Yea."
“Did your husband usually sfidress
you in the names shown you In thfa
letter T*
''Yes. sir; always In that way for the

and httd by KilUngsworth who hail a
pistol In his hand. Pfatol did not look
Uke a new one. Did not look like »

him as being Uke the one *h-ovn and
Identified as Hyatt's pistol.
S. J. Raley was the next witness. He
testified that on the nl<?l*t of March
6th he was at home until after cupper.

ment defendant was under tbe influence
of liquor.

tn Hyatt's body from the front and
saw Dr. Singleton probe It from both
sides. He said the bullet entered the
left side somewhere between the third
and fourth ribs. He did no; think
the bullet was deflected in Its course.
He dM not think the ball was changed
from the point of entry to the point
where It was found. He thought the
wound was Indicted while the deceased
was in a sitting position. He Mid not
ttiiiiik it possible for a bail ts take ths
course the shot did that killed deceased
If he had been on his feet; that It
would be more Ukely to p»*s directly
through the body. The effect nf tho
shot was to produoe death tn a very
short Ume. rs ■

The old-time visionary Inventor has
given place to the practical, hard- wrok-
lng professional Inventor of today.
The successmri inventor must iiow ha
a bustne+i nun as well os a man of
mechanical idea*.
The high tension of -the nervous sys
tem. often kept up for months and
months, makes tremendous draft* on
the health of chose busy brain workers.
Many succumb to nervou# prowmilnn
when they seem Just on tbe point of
surmounting every difficulty.
Of all the countless recent useful In
ventions none has passed through so
many or so rapid a course of lmpcoviv
ment* as the typewriter. Today the
tatedt perfected machine Is undoubted
ly the Williams typewriter, wfelcb rep
resents a vast amount of cumulative In
vention.
John Newton William*. It* Inventor,
was born In 184*. tn Brooklyn. N. Y. He
spent bis curly manhood on tho western
frontier. Subsequently he settled In
Kentucky, where he became known as
one of the most successful stock breed
er* In the state.
But It Is o« an Inventor that he has
won his national reputation. Several
moat useful and Important Invention*
were mtule by him before he produced
the WIIHanfa typewriter, a machine that
probably excels all others In the moat
Important features.
Mr. Williams, speaking of the labor
expended In bringing the machine
that boors hfa name to It* present per
fection. say*:
“Some four years nex when engaged
in experimental work on th" W{atoms',
I was putting In about It hours per day
of hard work and worry, and rttms near
breaking ifowit. Although very partic
ular and regular In my habits and care
ful olboiit eating, my stomtuti troubled
me. It was dttficutt to eat, and more
difficult to digest and assimilate my
food, and my stomach acting tn sympa

to ths defendant Umt entered the room.

Mm. lit* recollection was hfa brother
Turner spoke about the pistols Just
after 'Mr. Matthews came. He Said the
pfatol was in Hyatt's hand. He could
not say It wa* In hfa hand when he
put the pillow under hfa head or wheth
er It had dropped out of Ms hand as
he fell.
THE TOWN MARSHAL.
Emmett Kinhiiwworfh testified h* whs
In Fort Gaines the night of March 6.
He said he waa town marshal and It
was his duty to attend council meet
ings. He attended the meeting of coun
cil that nlgM. After council adjourn
ed he went to the poetolfice to close
the doom. About tbe time be closed
the postoffice door* he heard u pfatol
shot and walked ucron* the street to s
store and a boy csene In and said
Turner MoAlUster bad shot a drummer
at tbe Cortk house. He went there ut
onoe and met Will McAllister and Pope
Haiuhett. He ran up-stair*, looked In

Dr. Ounn. He went up-Malra again
and Mr. Matthews panted In ahead of
him. Witness said Turner McAllister
stood there sod said “There fa hfa pis
tol and here fa mine,” and threw hie
pistol on the bed. Wltnees said that
Matthews looked for something about
Hyatt or In hfa grip that would give
hfa correct address. He said Hyatt was
lying on the floor on hfa bock, one foot
under the bed, s pillow under his head
and hie pistol within six or right inches
of his hand. He took charge oi Hyatt's
effects, examined his pockets and found
a pocket-book and knife. Said he had

prefaed It to Fort Valley. Bald ths pis
tol was a SS-callhre Smttto A Weston.

to Fort Valley was the one IdsntiAed as
HyOtt’s pistol but to the best of hfa
knowledge and belfaf It was. He bad
known Turner McAHIster fifteen years
sod was acquainted with his hlitolts.
He wss with him the afternoon of
March -6 and McAllister was perfectly
sober.
Under cross-examination, the wit
ness said that the shot did not attract

admitted the pistol was norout of Ms

MoAIHster the night of March 6th near
Holley's store and’ spoke to him. He
