Fenn, the promi nent south Georgia lumberman’ who disappeared several years ago and was reported drowned, may be prosecuted In tlie Georgia courts for conspiracy to defraud two insurance companies was intimated by an officer of the Southern States Life Insurance Company today. R. H. Roberts, one of the men who swore in open court that he saw Fenn fall Out of an open boat and disappear beneath the waters of the Appalachi cola river one moonlight night almost three years ago, already hns been lodg ed in the Crisp county jail charged with perjury and his partner, J. S. Land, who swore to the same thing, is btyng sought by the officials of Hit- county on the same charge. The officials of the Southern States Life expect th>- # trial to bring out some unusual developments. If their expec tations are fulfilled. Fenn, who now is in Texas or Mexico, will be appre hended by detectives and brought back to Georgia to face the charge of con spiracy. He was released at New Or leans several weeks ago lifter being found at the end of a two-year search by the Pinkerton detectives. Land, who was said to have been in the boat with Roberts and Fenn, has disappeared and no trace of him can be found in Crisp county or the surround ing country. Roberts, who is in jail, absolutely refuses to talk. The insur ance officers say they will prove that but two men started down the river in the boat, those two being 1-atui and Roberts, and that Fenn framed it up with the two to pretend that he was drowned. When Fenn was apprehended in New Orleans, his wife, who actually believed him drowned, according to the insur ance officials, was winning a suit for $15,000 life Insurance which he carried. The trial of Roberts and of laind, if lie is i aught, will take place at the next term of the Crisp superior court. If at that time a conspiracy is proved the insurance company will seek to have Fenn returned and sent to the peniten tiary for conspiracy to defraud.

PASCHAL 5M5 HE ACTED ONDHOEHS Conductor on Stand in Strike Arbitration Hearing—“ An imus” Letters Not Shown. The expected letters of General Man ager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia rail road, showing, according to the claim of the union leaders in the strike arbi tration, that Conductor J. T. Paschal was marked for dismissal because of his activity as a union committee chair man, did not materialize at the morning session of the board of arbiters in the Federal building, but Conductor Pas chal was put on the stand. Paschal was questioned for an hour on the details of his trip from Conyers to Lithonia, and his defense was that he had acted within orders. Superin tendent Brand, of the road, sought to show that Paschal had caused Engineer P. \V. Roberts to run overtime in viola tion of the Federal statutes and the company’s ruling, in accordance there with. A turn occurred in the case which the union leaders took quick advantage of This was the statement by Mr. Scott in presenting the road's outline of prose - cution that 1,079 violations of the law which Paschal is accused of having vio lated had been reported to the interstate commerce commission since 1908. Aft er a conference with Mr. Brand, Mr Scott declared that he wished that part of his remarks expunged from the rec ord, or he desired that Mr. Brand should take the stand and make a cor rection. Other Cases Cited. Mr. Brand accordingly explained that the road's chief dispatcher had had 1,079 requests from trainmen for in structions on whether to’ proceed with their trains in violation of the Federal law. A message purporting to come from Mr. Brand to a telegraph operator was introduced. It ordered that the con ductor of the freight train then at that point proceed on his trip, regardless of the sixteen-hour service law. Mr. Murdock handed the document to the court, with the remark that the union leaders had a number of other such exhibits and would produce them later. The contention of the union now’ is, therefore, that plenty of other viola tions have taken place, and that the conductor in question has been dis criminated against and should be given back his job. There was a spirited colloqup be tween Mr. Brand and Mr. Murdock while the former was making out the road’s case, which ended by the latter declaring, “Let’s have the facts." Mr. Brand said they would be forthcoming. The board adjourned at 1 o’clock, for an hour of dinner and reconvened at 2. It will sit until 4 and meet again to morrow at 10 a. in. T. A. Gregg, vice president of the Or der of Railway’ Conductors, denied to day’ that he had referred to Conductor Paschal as a Socialist.

The conductor, he said, evidently thought he was tak ing his number to report him and be came enraged.
