PRISONER CLAIMED HOUSE OWNED By STERN JUDGE About the most surprised prisoner ever arraigned In the recorder’s court was John Brown, a negro, about flVe minutes after his hearing began Wed nesday morning. Councilman Stephen C. Glass was acting aa recorder and he asked the prisoner where he had his place of business. “Right up hero at 126 Marietta street. Judge,” he answered.' "Well, either you or I am being cheated then,” said the councilman. “I pay rent for that building myself.” Brown actually was paralyzed, so far as power of speech was concerned. He tried to say something, but couldn't. All he could do was wave his hands. When his vocal cords got off their strike he admitted he didn’t have any place of business. There are already about forty charges against Brown and It Is ex pected that when -his case Is called Thursday there will be nearly 100 cases against him. He has been operating as a second-hand clothes dealer for about three months. He worked many schemes to get hold of clothing, but usually he would get several garments and then declare that some of them were too good to sell. "Let me take these away,” he would say. "and I'll bring them back looking like new.” Only he never did. Police, man Adams caught him Tuesday and recovered some,of the clothing. After his case was continued Wednesday Plain Clothes Officers Rowan and Ros ser took him In charge and began to make a round of pawnshops nnd scc- end-hand stores. At noon they had collected nearly a wagon load of stuff that Brown had disposed of. What made It coaler was that the negro kept a day book In which he kept a record of nearly every purchase and sale.

Suddenly there was a scream that w*as loud, even for a Decatur street scream. Then came more screams, and excited conversation In Greek. Nobody knew what It was about, but everybody was out of the chairs and down the steps in a minute. Three bicycle offi cers were off In the lead, with a score of officers on foot running behind, but Sergeant Landrum, In Chief Jennings' buggy, passed them. The little negro was fast, however, and he covered three blocks before he was overhauled. Seeing escape was Impossible, he backed up against a fence and deliberately smashed a watermelon he had carried all that time.

Kelley, an Immigration agent who was arrested charged with operat ing without a license, was before Acting Recorder Glass Wednesday. He ad mitted he was trying to get men to take to Louisville, Ky., but said he had no Intention of beating the law. Ho said he did not Intend to sign any contracts with the men until he had secured his license. At the time of his arrest, he said, he was waiting for money from Louisville to pay for the license.

The action of the county commis sioners Wednesday regarding the Sun day sale of soft drinks outside the city resulted Sunday In the opening of a large number of stands In various parts of the county, and Tuesday In the arrest of R. S. Hudson, at Buck- head, on a warrant sworn out by Rev. E. W. Jones, of the Methodist church, who stated that he would proa;cuto every Sunday opener on hls circuit, which Includes four churches on the north side of Atlanta. Further devel opments are expected next Sunday. In this rather unusual move, Mr. Jones was supported by practically tho entire congregation of Sardis church. He addressed them Sunday upon tho subject, and It Is stated received their assurance that they believed In closing them up and would help In the prose cution. Monday morning Mr. Jonea swore out the warrant In the city court and Hudson was arrested. He was releas ed under a 3200 bond and seemed to think that the charge would amount to nothing. The statement of tho county com missioners, which Indirectly began this warfare between those who would sell soft drinks on Sunday and those opposed to it, was to the effect that the county officers should not make arrests unless there were disorder or complaints from other citizens. As the reason for this Colonel Anderson said that he did not think it right that the county stands should be closed while those in the city ran unhindered. Rev. C. N. Peek, of tho Baptist ' church, who lives at Buckhead, said Tuesday morning: "The people of my neighborhood condemn the action of the county com missioners. We believe In enforcing the statute on the book strictly. We would like to see the stands closed In the city and intend to close them In this part of the county." • YOUNG MAN IS HELD ON ASSAULT CHARGE. Special to The Georgian. Logansvllle.
