preme court of Georgia will be called
or • finally settle the Dougherty coun
ty jury commission controversy in
„ ;I j< !i a citizens committee of 21 prom
inent men of Albany and Dougherty
county is endeavoring to compel the
jury commissioners of the county to
revise the jury lists Judge Frank
Parlj. in superior court, late yesterday
afternoon sustained a demurrer, en
tered by attorneys for the commission
er., a mandamus proceeding that had
beer instituted to compel the cominfs
gjon to make the revision. The com
mittee today plans to appeal.
Th" greatest gathering of witnesses
ever assembled in a single case here
answered to subpenas at the opening
„f , nurt here. More than 400 witnesses
had been summoned to testify in the
case of J. S. Davis et al. vs J. H. Ther.
rell et al., representing the committee
cf 21 appointed at a recent mass meet
ing and the newly appointed jury com
mission, respectively. Mandamus pro
ceedings institued against the jury
commission contained sixteen specific
charges.
Partiality Alleged.
In the allegations set forth by the
complainants it was charged that the
jury commission was not properly
sworn, as the ordinary of the county
did not administer the oath; that the
commission did not select men impar
tin'A. that the commission was influ
enced both by family and religious ties,
and that the names of seven of the
inmen do not appear on the tax books
of the county.
To sustain these allegations every
member of the new jury, 268 In all, was
summoned to appear as a witness and
t<> prove that partiality was shown to
those who are members of a certain
religious faith, the pastors and offi
cials of churches were summoned to
appear and present a list of their
church members.
Albany “Wide Open."
In rebuttal to the voluminous charges
the defense tiled a lengthy answer, in
which the charge was made that Al
bany is a “wide open" ton. It de
clares in part:
’’Mhany is considered a wide open
town: there are now 27 licensed sa
lomip itl’in tile corporate limits, and
unt"ld numbers of blind tigers and il
'•■e;d traffiekets in alcoholic liquors.
Tudor normal conditions. there are
from ion to 160 inmates and residents
of :li. red light’ district, a portion of
the (ity of Albany designated and set
nt.irt by the official life of Alban' for
' e home of these people who receive
police protection, with no effort to re
st, cl or to minimize the evil.
A large number of men who are
known as gamblers with cards, dice
and other devices for fleecing the in
nocent public have been allowed to ply
th, ir games in the city of Albany, with
out interference or hindrance, by the
police force of said city. Whenever
they have been molested or apprehend
ed by the sheriff’s force the power of
the police department of the city of I
Albany has been arrayed against their
detection and punishment.”

Countess To Be Released With
in Month—Memoirs Will Be
Printed.
PARIS, Sept. 27.—Within a month the
Countess Tarnowska will be released
from the prison of Trani by a special
royal pardon granted at the request of
the Russian government. In the mean
time her memoirs will see the light of
publication, thanks to the • efforts of
Annie Vivanti, the Anglo-Italian jour
nalist.
Count Kamarowski was murdered in
Venice September 4. 1907, by a young
Russian official named Naumoff. The
Countess Tarnowska. whose maiden
name was Marie O'Rourke, a Russian
of Irish descent, eloped at eighteen with
Count Tarnowska. to whom she was
married. Her life with him was un
happy and she was divorced. The law
yer Prilukoff, who conducted her cause,
deserted his wife and robbed his clients
for her. When his money gave out she
made the acquaintance of Count Kam
arowski and of Naumoff. both of whom
fell in love with her.
Kamarowski was persuaded to effect
an insurance on his life of $125,000 in
favor of the countess, the negotiations
being carried out by Prilukoff. The
countess and Prilukoff worked upon the
Jealousy of Naumoff to avenge an in
sult offered the countess by Kamarow
ski. Naumoff shot the count. Naumoff,
the countess and her maid were arrest
ed. the countess serttenced to eight
years imprisonment and Naumoff to
three years. The maid was acquitted.
The ghastly tragedy of the "hole
business was that the wounded man
might easily have recovered had he not
been in the hands of an insane doctor.
