Macon, Ga., June 1.—Tom Battle, charged with the murder of IX M. Ber ry, will be placed on trial for Ills life on Monday morning. The case will be tried before Judge Speer, in the United States court, as the killing of Retry occurred on the new government build', lng. Since the killing of Berry, about three weeks ago. Tom Battle has been onflned In a cell at the Bibb county Jail awaiting trial. He Is an old confederate veteian. apd a great deal of interest Is being taken in his case by prominent people living in Macon. Battle claims that at the time Her- It was In one of the primary grades of the West End School. The teacher was talking to the youngsters about the nobility of authorship, telling them much the novels of Dickens und Reade had done to effect social and political reforms, and how much en tertainment had been furnished and how much happiness had been pro- ?d in the world by the stories and poems of other great writers. Finally she said: “Out here In West End we have an author, a modest, shy tnun, whose books are loved by men and women und boys nnd girls In every part of the world. Little children In England and France and Germany nnd Italy and India, and even In China, know his name und love him because of his stories. He Is a great author. Now, who can tell in© his name?” There wax a moment of hesitation, and then several hands were raised, one of them was beating the air with the violence of enthusiastic knowledge. "You may tell me, Tomhiy,” said the teacher to the boy. “She’ff Nelms,’’ the boy shouted. It’s a rare author that Is known in his own ward. A lot of Incidents that get credit for being examples of telepathy nnd other weird things are really nothing but chance, which, after all, is the most natural thing on earth. But It will be difficult to convince a young Atlantan that there was not something occult or extraordinary In this happening of n day or two ago. The young man was on his way to the theater with a voting lady, who was a mighty good friend of his. She was to leave the next day for the mid dles West, nnd was to stop a day or two In Toledo, in which city the young man had lived at one time. When they had become seated In the theater, the man said to the young lady: "I wrote this afternoon to John Blank, my chum In Toledo, telling him you are going to visit the Dashes there, and I asked him to call to see you. He knows the Dashes very well, i I want him to meet you, and I know ! you will like him—” He was interrupted to rise and let two men pass to their scats, and as ! he looked up he turned pale ns though he had scon a ghost. Then he pulled himself together and said: "Why. hello, John Blank." It was his Toledo friend on his way to Florida on an unexpected business trip. After Introductions, the young At- lnntnn pulled out of his pocket the let ter ho had written that afternoon, and handed It to the Ohioan. And he Is seeking vainly to explain the Incident to himself. The Sunday school teacher had Just caught the new pupil In a flb, nnd she stopped the progress of the lesson to admonish the boy. He was about six years old, and his nose was Just a dab on his freckled face, and his hair was red. "Don't you know, Johnny," she said sternly, "that if you tell stories you will go to hell when you die?" It was a denomination to which hell Is a very real and a very hot place. "And when you go to hell, the devil will take you nnd hold you over a Are, and he will roast you and fry you In the flames. "And this won’t be Just for a minute or an hour, but It will be forever and ever nnd ever." Johnny looked a little bit Indignant, but he asked: "Will the devil do that Just for one little old lie?" "Yes,’’ said the teacher. Johnny’s Up curled with scorn. "The son of a gun!” he said. WE LEAD Others follow. That others imitate our habits shows that our policy Is sound.
