•hot bis btotboi Tost to death yesterday
afternoon about half past twain o’clock lo
their sleeping apartment, at 42) North Broad
street, and fin minutes later took bla own life
with tbe same pistol.
The building In which the murder and
suicide happened Is a new two story brick on
the west aide of North Broad street, near the
Junction of Broad, POachtree and Luekio
streets. Ths lowar door was once used by
Burt Lovrjoy for s saloon, but since prohibi
tion went late effect It has bean recent.
The room Is the one directly In front of the
gtalrsay, and la about fifteen foot square. It
was
mnrmzn muTi.r own commrtibly,
tat not oxtiaTsgantly. A bed, a drsailng oats,
a bookcase, a wardrobe, a waohstand.sono
chain, a couple of tables and soma pictures
made up the contents of the room.
One of ths front rooms Is occupied by Hamle
Joht son or Hamlo Baker, and tbs rear room
nest to the one occupied by the Bill brothers,
la occoplcd by E. B. Stanley, bookkeeper for
the Hnnnfcott Bheumatle Cara company; and
as ftr as can bo ascertained thsso two wore ths
only persons In the building at the time ths
fntrkldsand suicide took plaoe, but neither
of them knows anything about It except that
they heard the shots.
liquor was mr. causx.
Tony Bill had boon on a apras for sevoral
dais, and night before last Bob began drink
ing too, and thla Is supposed to bare bean the
caoie of the tragedy. When sober the hoys
wen kind and affectionate, but when under
the iLfloenos ofliqnor wars constantly disa
greeing. On Thursday they were both st the
oourthoueo taking a baud in the election and
that night went to tbelr room together. Both
were then comparatively sober, and for awhile
they amused themaslves with a banjo and
guitar. They were both good maddens and
whoa sober seated many so erode* alone
with each other plajlng and singing. Boring
thelut evening of their lives they bad two or
threa visitors and to them they played quite
awblls. Yesterday morning they were both
on the itreota but ware not teen trgetbei as
far at eaa tc ascertained.
About ten o’clock Bob Bill was seen on the
street near tbe Lovrjoy building. Hs was
then apparently nndtr the Influence of liquor,
and was gems toward the building In which
hsrccmtd, Thla wae the last seen of him
alive. About the same time Tony Bill wu
seen on Marietta streeL A short time before
twelve o’clock Tony went to the room, and at
he parsed from the ttrsol into the stairway
mat a frlitd, to whom ho eald:
”1 want to go up and straighten Bob 001"
With this remark hkpassad from sight, and
whan next seen was dead.
Been altar twelve o’clock B. B. Stanley wont
to hla room, and la a short time walked oat and

alcno on tha floor, opened bar door after ths
abcotleg esaaod and looked out into the hall-
way. 8hs felt esrtaln that tbo shooting had
cecurrtd la ths Bill brothers’ ream, and after
whiting a second or two stepped out into ths
hallway. Just then Ur. Btanlsy cams up the
etepa, followed by a boy with his dlanas, and
as be iu,'hod tbo top attp tbo woman said;
"Mr. Blanley, tbo Bill boys aro shouting at
each oilier again, I havo counted firs snots

Just then another shot rang oat in ths room,
and instantly a dull, heavy Jar was fslt by the

Beth persons wars considerably agltatsd,
and kfr. blanley directed ths boy to put hla
dinner down and go for an officer. Toe boy
hurtled out and a block away encountered
Patrolmen Harvey and Woollen. Tho officers
hastened to tho building, and at they ascended
tbo stairway ona of them asked:
“What's the troublst"
“I don’t know," answered lfr. Stanley, "bat'
soma one hat fired five shots In that room back
those, and I would not bo surprised if some sue
has been hurt.”
ratrolman Harvey hastened to ths door, and
taming tho knob, pushed, Ths door would

sailed aloud:

Then was no response, and taming to
Patrolman Wootton ho said:
"Hat a chair and lst’a look through the

A round table was near at hand and was
placed before tho door. Tho patrolman mount.

“Ob, yes: bo’ll bo dead la a minute,” re

ending In a soft sigh or groan, and then tbs

Those who wort Inside began searching for
another pistol. Tbo woman stated most posi

before Mr. Stanley returned and one after.
Ths pistol found upon tho floor was examined
and found to bo a five chamber woa on. This
induced those present to bailors that the
brothers bad shot each other. Th woman’s
story wss stranghtanod hy.flcdlng two ballet
holes In ths book csso undone in a picture
frame, two In Tony's body and one In Bob's
head. The pistol was empty, and as tbs search
pregreised interest Increased until Mr. Bin-
ton Wright, a warm personal friend of tho
dead boyr, came in and stated thatthesbots in
tbe book cate had been made upon a former
occasion.
Dr. Boring, tho county physician, reached
tbo room with Coroner Baynes, and made an
examination of tho bodies. Be found that
Tony Bill had base shot through tbo lsft
breast, the ball passing through tho heart, and
had also been shot through the muaolooftho
left arm. Tbo ball which ended Bob’s Ilfs
entered tho head Just above, and alightly in
advance of lha right sar, and cams out on tho
other aide of the head a little higher up.
in tbo examination It was ascertained that
Tony’s clothing bad boon torn about tbs
threat. It pres, n ted the appearance of having
besn tom in a scuffle. On bla
BirisT was found a bruise
madsln falling against something, probably
tbo bed. Over Bob’s left eye was found a
bruits abo which waa made probably by fall
ing a a skat tha book cats.
Dr. Charles I'lnckncy stated that ho had been
In ths BUI boy’s room Thursday night and
that they wore playing a banjo and guitar.
11s left them In a good humor with each other.
Yesterday morning ho met Tony and together
they went to Dr. Pinckney's residence
where Tony drank torus milk. While at l>r.
Pinckney's bo asked Miss Kate Pinckney to
play on tho piano, but tho young lady declin
ed because thcro was no lire In the parlor, and
Tony said:
“Well, Mira Kata, If you will pity lor me. It
will probably save Bob’s life.’’
No attention, however, was paid to tbe re-
mark as Tony appeared to bo about half
tight.
Tbo jury, after securing all available test)
moi>!,contludcd that Bob Bill had gone to
hia tiom during tho morning and Islddown,
after partially ucdrmrlng. Tony came In
later, and both being under ths Influence
of llquur, a qnaml ensued. One of them

In tho difficulty Bob trad tbe shots which

had worked manfully, Thoy had presented a

how tbo Jury or soy Jury could fall to agree

HEAD AND BRAIN.
Nxw York. November A tall, broad-
■bonldered mu, with nray Lair end whiskers
and tbs general air of n worldly Innooono*
that characterises theeclontlflc ponon, visited
tho Astee fair. Tho matadoi’s a words and
oabaUaro'a spurs flailed to attract hla attention,
ud ho wu not Interested In ths frying of
tortlllu by bnxom female doacandanta of tho
Honterumae. Adjusting hla apeotaotea screes
hla now, and taking a brief tnrrey of the holl
with bis beaming blue eyas, he robbed hla
palms together In n gratified way, softly mur
muring, “Oh, thla urea me quit© n Journey,”
and drew t note book end small atari tap* from
hla pocket. Marching no to tbo
neoroit notubro, who wu tndnstriouily
fattening lilver wire into delresto
Jewelry, th* tall man gently bnt firmly draw
the tap* lino around the astonished greaeor'i
head, carefully noted tho measurement and
mode on miry In his notebook. •
Tho gsnileman wu Dr. Sima, who
long ago retired from practice and took
np theorising and Investigating. In reply to
my questions, the doctor said: “Thaoschape,
I find, have very small heads,
and consequently, email brains. They
art not Aateco, of coarse, but belong to tho
mixed Spanish and Indian raw of Mexico.
Tho fact thatthalr beads are small Is only
another proof of my theory, or rather of
my generalization from long obiorvatlou that
tho largest heads are laths cold countries,
and tbo ate* of ahull and weight
diminish u you approach tho
equator. I hare measured heade
from Latdand to Egypt and from India
to New Zealand, ud the result proves tho
truth of th* general statement. Ths Lapland*
era have tha tersest head* and the equatorial
races the smalkeL Bnt lha Laplander la by no
means a prodigy of mental activity. In fact,
ho Is intliued to bo rather stupid. Now, I have
discovered that th* brain hu nothing to do
with tho operation of thought Tho mind, as
it Is called. Is not located In th* brain. Tho
brain to a Vital organ, Ilk* tho heart, ud tup-
piles heat to th* body through tbo nerves.
Sever ths nerve* la a sheep's nack ud the

enco of Arctic explores* hu shorn that men
with Mg heade endore the cold but Tho

mates, mors hut is required ud heat ud
brains are Mggor thu In the warmer dims: to.
People living near the equator require Utt)o
body beat, ud their heade are smalL But
the Intellect Is not affected by th* tilt of th*
heed. Big mu hare Mg beads hot smart

country la cold. I could cite fart* by th* hour
to prevo my theory, and some day tbo austo-
miata will all agree with me that th* old no
tion of brain power Is entirely erroneous.”
