JURORS Fill TO ■III I' ROSENTHIL SLffllG r 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..

I can't sleep,” said Schepps over the telephone. • Frohman Foreman ► Os Coroner’s Jury NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—After selecting I a jury composed of bankers, brokers, theatrical managers and other magnates, Coroner Feinberg today adjourned the inquest into the death of Herman Rosen tbal until August 22 at the request of Assistant District Attorney Moss, who said the whole matter was now before the grand jury.

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.

SPECIALISTS EAGERFOR 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.

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.
