ered around tho building and tbe ex
citement was Intense, tut all sorts of
rum-ont were afloat as to the kitting.

Brown returned It. Brown tired four
ijhots. Gordon, as soon as Brown fell,
s’.tot his" wife.

Sir Edward Clarke said: "Then I ask

Tbe court refused to consent to such
a verdict, saying that he would simply

He Intended, he said, to put Wilde In the

unqualified denial of tho charge* against

Wilde, continuing hts testlmoy, said he

Atlanta, April 30.—(Special.)—An In

here for the pawt few days. It Is to tho
effect that Postmaster Daisy Price of

the arrangement. It Is said-Mr. Price
will be a endidate for mayor against
Mayor Horne, or whoever else may
run for Uvr offlee, at the expiration of
Mr. Horne’s present term, and from
the mayoralty will enter tho congres
