Evidence Presented by District
Attorney Considered Too
| . Weak for True Bills.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Because
members of the grand jury investigat
* ing the murder of Herman Rosenthal
believed that the evidence presented to
them by District Attorney Whitman
was too weak on which to base true
bills, they decided this afternoon that
no indictment should be returned at the
present time. This decision caused a
sensation, as it had been expected that
a blanket indictment covering seven
persons would be returned.
The grand jury wants to hear evi
dence from Sam Schepps, the alleged
“murder paymaster,’’ before it returns
true bills.
, Heads of Graft
Threaten Confessors.
t The three men who are alleged to be
the head and front of the graft syndi
cate are understood to be making every
effort to close up every avenue which
might reveal their dealings. “Bald
Jack” Rose, Harry Vallon and “Brld
| W gey” Webber, prisoners in the West
■ • Side prison, are said to have been
> threatened with death if they allow 7
their confessions to go higher than
Becker.
In other words, the men higher up
have decided to make Becker the goat,
just as Becker earlier decided to sacri
fice Rose in order to save himself.
Schepps on Way
Back to Gotham
HOT SPRINGS, ARK.. Aug. lo.—As
sistant District Attorney J. R. Rubin
and Detective Stewart, of New York,
left here today with Samuel Schepps,
who is wanted in Gotham in connection
with the Rosenthal murder case.
Four newspaper men and Detective
Thomas were also in the party that
> conducted Schepps back to New 7 York.
Schepps was formally given into the
custody of the detectives at midnight.
Detective Thomas, to whom the papers
were delivered, arrived here on a late
1 train. The fugitive was placed in a
room at Marquette hotel and Thomas
occupied an adjoining room.
About 3 o’clock this morning Schepps
telephoned down to the hotel clerk and
asked him to send some one up to
Detective Thomas’ room and demand
them not to snore so loudly, as he was
greatly disturbed by the noise. “Please
tell my guard in the next room not to
♦’ snore so loud. I can't sleep,” said
Schepps over the telephone.

GROCERYMEN IN
■JI PICNIC
Fourteen Coach Loads of Ex
cursionists Go to Borden
j Wheeler Springs for Day.
There was no complaint against the
' high cost of living In Atlanta, today.
There couldn’t be any. There was noth.
I ing absolutely necessary for living to be
i bought in the confines of the city. For
the grocers of Atlanta were having their
annual outing, and wdien they go a
picnicking they shut up shop, and the
housewife w ho forgot to provide for to
day’s dinner had to borrow from a
neighbor.
The merchants who deal in hog and
hominy left Atlanta for Borden-Wheel
er Springs prepared for a real day of
fun. They made an early start so that
the occasion could be enjoyed to the
fullest extent. Fourteen coaches left
the union depot at 7:30 a. m.. and every
coach not loaded with humanity was
loaded with things to give joy to hu
man appetite.
According to their schedule, the train
was to reach the A'abama springs at
10 o'clock. The forenoon was devoted
to dancing, bowling, swimming, wad
ing and fishing. Noontime found the
barbecue prepared and the contents of
the baskets spread.
At 2 o’clock talks were on schedule
by A. W. Farlinger, on “The Retailer
Organized;” John McCullough, on “The
Value of Organization;” W. O. Stamps,
on "The Jobber, the Necessary Distrib
utor of the Retailer,” and Robert A.
Broyles, on “The Silver-Tongued Gro
cer.”
When the orators had concluded, the
amusements w ere resumed according to
the formed plans, until 5 o’clock, when
the start on the return journey was
scheduled to begin.
Healer Proves to Jury
That “Spirit of Lord 0
Causes Strange Cures
Colquitt County Man Is Acquitted
of Practicing Medicine and
Osteopathy Without License.
MOULTRIE, GA., Aug. 15.—When
J. W. Bennett succeeded in convincing
a jury in the city court of Colquitt
county that three years ago the “Spirit
of the Lord” had taken hold of him,
since which time he had known no
peace of body or mind except when he
was healing “all manner of diseases,'
he was acquitted of a charge of prac
ticing medicine and the science of os
teopathy without a license. But it took
the combined testimony of Bennett and
more than a score of witnesses —all
leading citizens of the county—to clear
him. These witnesses testified that
asthma disappeared with the touch of
the hand, rheumatism was cured as bj
magic, cancers of long standing began
to heal under his wonderful treatment
and blindness that had baffled skilled
specialists was wiped away by his
touch. And all said that the cures were
wrought without charge.
Bennett said that he sought to flee
from this strange spirit, but unrest
beset him and his only relief came
through healing the afflicted.
According to the testimony, Ben
nett has been practicing his art of
healing in the western part of the coun
ty. The state unsuccessfully attempted
to prove that he had carried medicine
and in some cases used it, while in
others he had practiced the science of
osteopathy, receiving money for his
services.

GLAYEYE
TEST
Noted Scientists of the Whole
Country Deeply Interested in
Proposed Experiment.
i
Scientists of a number of the biggest
cities in the country expressed keen
Interest today in the proposed operation
' in which the eyes of the condemned
wife slayer, Robert L. Clay, will be
used to restore the sight of John Cash
-1 in, the blind Atlanta paper seller.
Noted specialists throughout the
country are interested in the experi
ment. The operation admittedly is un
known to science, but the thought is ex
pressed. even by the most skeptical of
the oculists who have read the blind
. man’s proposal, that science has not
reached its limits and the success of
the operation may not be impossible
Previous experiments have proved
the optic nerve can not be regenerated,
once death has supervened, and the
proposal is that the cornea of Clay's
eyes be supplied Cashin immediately
after the physicians at the execution of
the wife slayer shall have pronounced
him dead.
Dr. Tivnen Thinks
Operation Impossible.
Dr. Richard V. Tivnen. operating ocu
list of Mercy hospital, Chicago, one of
the eminent eye authorities of the
world, believes that tlie success of the
operation is impossible on this account.
“The operation may possess interest
as an experimental effort to do that
which is considered beyond human
skill,” he says, "but it is my opinion
that it could never be successful.”
Atlanta’s interest in the proposed op
eration has driven Cashin temporarily
from the stieet. After publication of
his plans, he was so besieged with
questions that he abandoned his post at
the corner of Whitehall and Aiab:im - i
streets and sought the seclusion of his
home. His wife, too, similarly be
sieged, quit her work of vending news
from the Peachtree viaduct.
The eyes of Clay will be given in case
the sentence of the court is executed, if
the family of Clay agrees with W. M.
Smith, the attorney, who has conduct
ed the defense of the stayer.
The lawyer believes that the eyes
never will be available. He believes
that the appeal in Clay's behalf now
pending in the supreme court will save
his life.
But should the sentence of death be
executed the lawyer believes that the
eyes would be freely offered in the hope
that they restore the sight of a fellow
man.
Thinks He Can
Save Day Yet.
“Clay's eyes would, of course, be of
no use to him, should he hang. I don t
think he will ever hang, but certainly if
the sentence is executed I would advise
that if Cashin believes that his sight
can be restored by their use, that the
eyes be given for that purpose. I can
imagine nothing that a man would
rather do before leaving the world
than bestow his power of sight on some
fellow being deprived of vision,” said
the lawyer.
If it is decided by the specialists, who
have the operation under consideration,
that the optic nerves are serviceable
enough to permit of possible success n
the operation. the eyes of Clay will be
asked so: Under Georgia custom tli
body of a man who meets death on the
gallows is turned over to his relatives.
They finally w ill decide w hether or no*
the eyes be given Cashin.
Mr. Smith says lie knows of no ob
jection that would be raised by Clay's
kin. He did not speak for the family,
how ever.

LAWYER SETTLING
CASE OVER CLIENT’S
HEAD GETS NO FEE
Georgia lawyers, who are in the habit
of compromising cases over the heads
of clients and still getting away with
fees, will be forced to move with great
finesse as a result of the decision in
the Rodgers-Pettigrew ease, Gwinnett
county, handed down by the supreme
court today.
Charles Pettigrew, a Lawrenceville
attorney, acting for Mrs. Rodgers in
a land suit, took a verdict on agree
ment with opposing counsel in the face
of his client's demand that there be no
compromise. Mrs. Rodgers refused to
pay the fee and Pettigrew promptly
sued and got judgment.
In reversing Judge Jones, the high
court said:
"A lawyer who compromises his cli
ent's case against the latter's express
direction is not entiled to any compen
sation.”
