Horace C. Gray Is to have a new trial.
Horace Gray Is the Intensely ro
mantic character who was arrested In
Atlanta last spring, charged with oper
ating a scientific Check forging ma
chine. He succeeded In mystifying the
authorities so completely that they
gave<out doing anything, compromising
{ by turning Horaco over to the powers
; that be up In Marietta, where he was
| charged with having passed a forged
Southern Express Company money or
der in December, 1908.
Horace went up to Marietta—Invol
untarily—was placed In durance more
or less vile In the Cobb county Jail, and
pending his trial kept the press pretty
^•ell filled up with Interviews In which
he explained everything In so compli
cated a manner as to mix the whole
cas© up beyond belief.
Tried and Convicted.
He was tried, however, convicted and
tentenced to seven years In the peni
tentiary, He explained some more and
tried for a new trial, which waa denied
him.
Finding explanations futile, Horace
did the only thing left undivulged dur
ing his explanatory confinement.
He called on his father for help.
Horace’s father Is said to be
wealthy Alabaman, whose name may or
fay not be Gray, and who. It seems,
(Uoeg not wish to figure prominently In
the rnm»,
Be that as It may, Horace’s father
lot busy without delay. He communi
cated with certain officials in Omaha,
jebr., which is a long way from either
"arietta or Alabama.
Thus It came about that Monday
there arrived In Marietta, where Hor
ace still lay Immured In distasteful cap-
yjjy. Frank F. Osborn, deputy sheriff
Jr Douglas county, Nebraska, and cus-
toulan of the county Jail. With Mr.
J«born came J. H. Proctor, deputy
Suited States marshal.
Both of these officials appeared In
JJhalf of Horace’s second and extraor-
J ,n ary (as it Is legally termed) motion
V* a new trial, made by his attorneys,
;°n. H. Boyd Moss and Messrs. Clay
J Morris, as soon as the new wit
hes arrived.
The Experts Appear.
rney had expert testimony In plenty,
rnotographs, Bertillon measurements,
wi r< cords and other things. And they
Demonstrated pretty conclusively to the
XSJ Judge N. A. Morris the Impos-
•wlllty of Horace’s passing a forged
JJ°ney order on the Southern Express
^mpany’s office at Marietta on De-
£mbe r 2. 1908, because on that very'
®'e Horace, under the name of J. H.

POULTRY AND DOG SHOW
WILL BE HELD JAN. 18-22
WILLIAM R. ALLARD.
Prominent membert of the
E. E. STEED.
Poultry association.
Tuesday morning on a cash bond of
JSOO put up by his father, pending his
new trial, which is set for the third
Monday In September At this trial
Sheriff Osborn ami HfPUty Proctor,
with other officials, will testify to a
positive identification of Gray as the
Davis who was In custody at Omaha
at the time of the' Marietta Incident.
Thus, after a turbulent and varied
Incarceration of something more than
six months. Horace C. Gray, or It may
be J. H. Davis, la now walking the
earth a free man with blooming proa-
pacta of retaining hlz freedom.
The great poultry show of tho Geor
gia Poultry association will be held In
the Auditorium, beginning Tuesday,
January 18, and lasting thru January
22, and with It . will, be held a bench
show under the rule* and auspices of
the American Kennel club.
Such were: the Important develop
ments at an enthusiastic meeting, the
largest yet held by the association, that
took place Monday afternoon at the
headquarters of the association In the
New Kimball.
Many Visitors,, .
A full attendance of officers nnd ex
eeutive committeemen, excepting • only
the president, H. O. Hastings, absent In
Mexico, marked the gathering. Besides
these, many members were also .pres
ent. and there was no lack of visitors
who purposed to become shareholders
and Interested factors in the success of
the new organization.
The meeting was strictly business
from the start. The two principal
questions coming up for consideration
were the exact date for the poultry
show and the bench show, which has
been much discussed as a possible fea
ture of the exhibition.
Neither of these point* was long de
bated by the meeting. Officers nnd
members alike seemed of one mind, and
the date was announced without delay,
while the dog show proposition met not
only with approval, but with acclama
tion.
Congratulatory letter* and letters In
quiring about both shows wers read by
Secretary Harwell and Will V. Zimmer.
Full and complete arrangements have
been made with the American Kennel
club, the officials of which have agreed
to co-operate heartily In the coming
show.
A (nass Of correspondence, produced
by Secretary Harwell and Mr. Zimmer
attested the widespread Interest the
Atlanta show is creating. From ail
parts of the country Inquiries and as
surances of exhibits are pouring In,
and prospects seem certain for the
greatest show ever held in Atlanta.
The mere fact that the bench show Is
an A._K; C. affair Is a guarantee of a
Irng string of high-class animals from
the Eastern fancier*, all of whom are
slow to overlook openings to score with
their dogs In a registered show where
premiums count so heavily.
Selecting Judges.
Now that the question of dates has
been settled, selections of Judges for
both shows will be In order, probably
to come up at the next meeting. The
names of some of the leading Jugdes
of the country hnve come up for dis
cussion. and Secretary Harwell Is now
iu communication with them, ascertain
ing how their previous engagement*
stand with reference to the Atlanta
show.
On# thing appears certain from, the
enthusiastic atutwla of the association
and the plnns already put on foot. No
expense will be counted, nor will nny
pains be spared, to make the January
show an event long to be remembered
In the South as the best appointed ex
hibition of Its kind aver held In the
section. This is the more certain as It
Is the purpose of the association to
make the coming show a first step to
establishing annual exhibitions that
will make the entire country sit up and
take notice. As one enthusiastic mem
ber stated at Monday’s meeting:
"Atlanta Is not accustomed to 'trail
Ing’ In anything—and you can bet sho
Is going to lead In this.”
The next meeting of th<r association
will tnke place next Monday afternoon
at 2:30 o clock In the association’s
headquarters at the New Kimball.

Paris, Aug. 31.—Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, practically was refused rec
ognition by the International Confer
ence of Trades Unions here today when
on the motion of a Belgian delegate,
the conferees voted to discuss only the
proposals submitted by organizations
affiliated with the conference.
This was directed squarely against
the proposltlpn made to the conference
by Mr. Gompers that nn International
federation of workmen be organized
which, while not affecting the Inde
pendence of tho workmen of the varl
ous countries, “would defend the rights
nnd Interests of all and create Interna

University of Chicago
This University stands second to none in the
United States. It accepts the work done by
Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Ga., at its face value.
This means that a student who graduates from
Agnes Scott can go to University of Chicago and
receive full credit there for all the work she has
done in this college. This is the kind of college the
ambitious girl would like to attend. You would do
well to investigate it.
