Causes Unrest
ATLANTA, June 85.—Hon. John W.
Akin, of Bartow, senator from the
forty-second district, loomed up this
rooming with surprising strength in
the race for th.- presidency of the
•oqate. Judge Akin’s friends claim
twenty-three votes which is a major
ity of the senate, while his opponents
accord him fourteen.
Naturally, therefore, the principal
talk among the friends of the can-
Jidates at the Kimball house today
was of a combination against Judge
Aklu. It is generally admitted that
oply by a combination can iie be de
bated. The trouble is. however, the
Candidates all want to pull the com-
htnetiori their way. Claiming prece
dence of strength over the other can
didates. the friends of Senator T. S.
Folder, of Bibb, feel that the com
bination should unite on him. A sim
ilar olnjm is made in behalf of Sen-
itor Hardman while the friends of
Senator Jim Flynt, of Spaulding, are
holding firm.
Senator J. D. Howard, of the 20th..
from Milledgeville, is out of the race
and hlsjfew vfites have been divided
around among the other candidates
This leaves only four In the field and
somewhat simplifies the situation.
But Judge Akin has got them all
puzzled. - This Akin tidal wave is ac
counted for largely on prohibition
grounds. Judge Akin being a well-
known and staunch prohibitionist. It

SEVEN PERSONS WERE
KILLED IN COLLAPSE
NEW YORK. June 26.—Seven persons,
six of them members of one Italian fam

shackle tenement in the downtown Italian
quarter early today. Three othep mem
bers of the same family, including the
father and mother, were painfully in
jured. but will recover. The collapsed
building wag a four-store affair at the
corner of Walker a nd LnFayette streets.
It belonged to the Moses Taylor estate,
and for some days lias been in a danger
ous oendition. because of excavations for
a new building on the adjoining premises.
It had been shored up. but the constant
rumbling of subwav trains a block away
was too much for it in its weakened con
dition. and it fell in at 2 o'clock this
morning. Most of the tenants, warned
by an ominous cracking, fled from the

waived the question for the present,
but may insist upon pressing it later
in the trial. Aside from the testimonv
of the young girl, the examination of
two physicians concerning the possible
Insanity of Judge Loving at the time
of the killing and the testimony of fche
defendant himself, and Harry Snead,
were features of the day’s proceedings.
Dr. Wm. Tunstall. who saw Judge Lov
ing before and after the killing, testi
fied that he thought Loving committed
the crime while insane. Dr. Tunstall
is a practicing physician of Nel
son County, and upon cross-examina
tion acknowledged that he was no ex
pert on insanity.
Theory of Insanity.
His theory that Judge Loving was
insane was that he failed to speak to
him In passing before the killing, and
after the deed, "his head hung low and
he was pale,” coupled with his personal
knowledged of Judge Loving, who, he
said, frequently, "got on drunken de
bauches,” ending in delirium tremens.
Dr. Melvin who has for years practiced
in this county, testified about the ef
fect on the mind and faculties by ex
cessive drinking.
At the adjournment of court yester
day. the defendant had just begun to
relate a conversation with his brother-
ginia. and had on a number of nc
casions passed on cases of insanity.
The witness stated that he bed known
Judge Loving practlvnllv all of his
life. He saw him a few minutes be
fore the shooting. He was driving in
a buggy and his general appearance
was so changed that Dr. Tunstall
stated that he did not recognize him.
The witness seid *bat Judge Loving,
after the shooting, seemed to wan
dering aimlessly about. • Dr. Tunstall
asked him about the tragedy to which
he ILoving) replied-
."That man fEstesI took my daugh
ter out driving and drugged and
ruire I her.”
The witness testified that Judge
Loving, in 1905. got on a spree in
Lynchburg and his mental condition
was seriously affected ns a result.
Debauohes Affect Brain.
"Will a long series of debauches
affect the brain?” he was asked.
“Yes," was the answer.
On cross-examination Dr. Tunstall
said that he had never heard the san
ity of Judge Loving discussed before
the tragedy. He had heard his temper,
his unreasonable acts, his passion and
his harshness talked about.
"You are not an expert on insanity,
are you?”
“No.”
Attorney- Bouldln . remarked:
thought not.” (Laughter).
Dr. H. B. Melvin, of EkUifax, was
the next witness called by- the defense.
He stated that he had passed upon the
mental condition of many people. He
testified that continued drink brought
on excitement which often ended In
insanity. Dr. Melvin was cross-ex
amlned by Attorney Bouldin. He stat
ed that his practice was mostly for
bodily diseases. He explained the ef
fect on the brain of excessive use of
liquor.
Miss Loving Takes Stand.
At the afternoon session Judge
Barksdale ordered the court room
cleared of all persons except those di

correspondents. In a few seconds the
