Fashionable Macon-
Folk Attend Trial
Os Taylor's Slayer
MACON. GA., May 24.—A large and
fashionable audience, consisting prin
cipally of the relatives’ and friends of
the deceased, saw the fate of G. Frank
lin Tindall placed in the hands of a
jury today. He is charged with the
death of Charles Hal! Taylor, whom he
shot and killed two months ago when
he found Taylor embracing Mrs Tin
dall's slater.
The chief feature of the trial was the
testimony of Miss Lula Carter, the
young woman of humble station to
whom Taylor would have been married
in another day. She was a state's wit
ness, and her experience on the stand
w’as a grueling one. She declared that
when Tindall returned home’ late at
night and found her sitting on the steps
in Taylor'-' arms he thought she was
his wife, and only fired on Taylor after
the latter had advanced toward him
with arm outstretched.
Seated ar the prosecutor’s table were
Mr. and Mrs. < harles H. Hall, uncle
and aunt of the deceased, and the dead
man s parents, Mr. and Mrs Hugh N
Taylor: his two brothers, sister and
othe relatives Mrs. Taylor is a sister
of Mrs. S. R. Jaques, a social leader
of Macon, whose husband is one of the
city’s leading financiers, and also a
sister of Charles H. Hall and Dr. Tom
Hall.

FIGHTS BURGLAR
Choked and Beaten. She Forces
Him to Flee and Saves
Hat for Clew.
Mrs. J. R. Hallman, a widow living
at 9 Gaskill street, was choked almost
insensible early today in a heroic battle
with a burglar in her room.
With the assailant’s fingers closing
tight about her throat, the plucky wom
an. unable to scream for help, struck
him repeatedly in the face with her fist
and finally forced him to tree her. As
Mrs. Hallman sank back on the floor,
exhausted, the intruder leaped through
a window and dashed away in the
darkness.
In his haste, he dropped his hat just
outside of the window. Without tak
ing time to pick It up, he fled on. leav
ing this as the only eJew to his Identity.
The discarded hat was found in the
yard juet after daybreak and Mrs.
Hallman turned It over to detectives.
Detectives worked hard to follow up
the hat clew, but so far have obtained
no tangible information. The hat is
of the soft black variety, it contains
no initials.
The burglar entered the Hallman
home through the same window by
which he made his escape. He was
ransacking a dresset drawer when Mrs.
Hallman suddenly awoke and discov
ered his ’lark form a few feet from her
bed.
"It was a terrible fight." said Mis.
Hallman today. "It seemed to me an
age. I never want to go through an
other such experience again. It makes
me tremble now when I think of it."

DAYTON. OHIO. Max 24. The con
dition of Wilbur Wright carlj today
showed slight improvement. For the
first time in several days he regained
consciousness, was able to recognize
members of his family and spoke a
few words to 'hem. His physicians
believe he may recover. The aviator

MORSE BACK
IH WALL
STREET
Looks Over Suite of Offices.
Preparing, It Is Said, for
New Campaign.
NEW YORK, May 24.—Charles W
Morse, who was freed from the Federal
prison at Atlanta by President Taft on
the theory that he was dying, returned
to Wall street todax. He looked over
several offices and it is said that he will
return to the ice and shipping busi
nesses
This, visit of the former financier to
the scenes of his old battles is practical
confirmation of the exclusive announce
ment in The Atlanta Georgian several
days since.:
"Within the month you’ll see Charles
W Morse promoting at least one new
steamship combine to exploit the new
Panama canal trade.”
In Condition To
Resume Battle.
That is the statement made by one of
the late Atlanta prisoner’s closest
friends in New York today, and ft is
confirmed in substance by several
others, despite Morse s personal state
ment that he would never return to the
career in finance that doomed him to
the Southern Federal prison.
Al) these friends have talked with
Morse and his wife since their recent
return from Europe upon the Olympic
The one quoted adds that Morse is in
physical condition now to resume th'?
battle which won him so many millions
and so much notoriety before his con
viction.
"Assuredly Mr. Morse would deny
that he would re-enter Wall street." he
added. "He's not so foolish as to be
ignorant of the fact that an admission
of that sort from his own lips would
raise a storm in manv quarters—and
’ not the least among the lay public."
Old Troubles
Pursue Hiin.
Morse is in the limelight just now
That Is brought home by -the fact that
subpena clerks are already on his trail
with summonses in several suits hark
ing back to the days before Atlanta.
In some of these suits he is wanted
as a witness. In one. Warren McCon
ihe. a lawyer of No. 42 Wall street,
threatens by a writ of attachment, to
force Morse to submit to examination
in a suit for SIOO,OOO brought by Ab-. J
Culver against Peter McCarthy, for
merly an officer of Morse's old Hudson
Navigation Company.
Morse, regaining his health, motors
and walks every day, but he takes this
exercise in the deepest seclusion He
has been lying low while the wind of
notoriety blew about him. He doesn't
intend to get much into the open where
the process men can reach him. and
tush him into court to tell old tales of
his former ventures that would fix him
nt the public eye foi months and might
even bring about a reerudesence of the
old scandals--x« hieh are by no means
yet forgotten.
Very quietly he is already repienish-
. ing his fortune by "fliers" which he
know s so well when to take. There ate
even reports that he has already taker
a hand in several promotions intimately
involved with Wall street.
No Longer the

But one obvious thing, commented
