It was at 11 o'clock Tuesday night that he again took the oath so familiar to him. A few minutes later 'he left the city hall, apparently in tin best of spirits, bidding his associates "goon night." and wending his waj to his picturesque old Southern home a few Mocks away.

A farewell note was left b> Nall. Tn it he made no reference to the destruc ' tion of the city's records, but voiced his determination that they should never be examined. As to the reason of this determination he gave no word, so far as has been learned. He wrote: ‘ My Books Shall Never Be Examined. "1 am determined that my books shall never be examined. I have checked and rechecked them, and have found them absolutely correct. 1 am satisfied that no one elste could have found anything wrong. " Then he added: "But the horror of it all, and the thing that caused me to determine on this course, is the fear that I might he stricken helpless and left a burden on those illy able to care for me." Another sentence read: "I am very, very tired." Nall's friends are firm in their belief that lie was simply laboring under the hallucination that he was suspected of some possible wrong, and that this* er roneous thought that his honesty amt his long-used system were questioned drove him to desperation and to his; tragic end. They say Nall suffered a slight stroke | of paralysis a short time ago, and since J then seemed to fear that he would be stricken helpless and would have to be. eared for by his three daughters. Nall | was a widower. Douglas Boyd Finds Books All Missing. Immediately follow ing tin- announce ment of the death. .Mayor Smith or dered the clerk’s office closed until aft er the funeral on Friday. On Satur day the finance committee, of which Douglas Boyd, of the Douglas Boyd Company, is chairman, opened the of fice and made the discovery that the important books were missing. The finance committee, in called session Monday, Instructed Major Smith and Mark J. Janes, one of the members, to go to Atlanta and employ expert, ac countants. The report of the accountant- is ex pected in about a week The first evidence as to tie destruc tion of the records was furnished in a confession to the finance committee by Bill Holloway, negro janitO in the city hall. He said that on Tuesday morn ing, before the new administration took charge that night. Nall placed two books on the edge of the furnace door in the basement of the city hall and told him to push them into the furnace. He says he did so. Members of the committee later learned that a negro cook in the Nall home. Maty Holloway—no relation, however, to the janitor—had confided to another negro that Nall "had been burning books and papers in his home for two weeks before his death " She was closely questioned by the commit tee, but denied this statement. She admitted, however, that on Tues day morning three books had been burned. She said her husband came to the Nall home that morning to build a the. as usual, and that Nall gave him three books and told pirn to bum them Chairman Boyd Doubts a Shortage The negro tore up on* of the books and threw it in the fire, but as it was so hard to tear, laid the other two books aside. Nall, she said, later eanic along and threw these books Into tie fire Beyond this, no further evidence Im - been found as to the destruction of th*' records. Chairman Boyd says “1 don't think Nail was short in his accounts, but I believe h>- felt offended at the idea of his books being audited and liis old system changed, and simply determined that this should not be. He had been in the office so long that he felt that his methods should not be questioned. He probably brooded over the situation until he decided t at lather than submit to the new order of things he would destroy the recoids anil then kill himself.” Committeeman Janes. who was a close personal friend of the aged man snd who has been In personal ehaige of the office since the tragedy, is firm in bis belief that Nall's mind was unbal- •••••••••••••••••••••••••a : CITY ON SOUND BASIS’ : MAYOR SMITH SAYS J • Tills statement was made by •! » Mayor J.

Russia Proposes Demobilization PARIS, Dee. 31.—The most important move yet made to relieve the tension in Europe resulting from the Balkan war was made here today when P. A. Iswol sky, the Russian ambassador to Frame, called upon M. Raymond Poincaire, the French foreign minister, and proposed that Russia and Austria go into accord upon the immediate mobilization of their reserves. Mr Iswolsky had been authorized by liis government to take such a step, and it indicated that in the eye of the Russian government the way to com plete peace and accord among the pow ers of Europe is now open. The pro posal was that tiie armies, which were mobilized during the gloomy’ day: of the war, should be dismissed. M. Poincaire" took the mutter under advisement, promising to consult with the Austrian minister. MRS. W. C. ADAMSON. CONGRESSMAN’S WIFE, DIES IN CARROLLTON CARROLLTON, GA.. Dec. 31. -Fu neral services were conducted front tile Methodist Protestant church here this afternoon for Mrs. Minna Reese Adam son, wife of Congressman W. Adam son. of the Fourth Georgia district, in terment following in tlie city cemetery. •Mrs. Adamson died yesterday, after an illness that confined her to her bed for several months. She had been in Hl health fur several years. She under went an operation several months ago, but failed to improve. Her condition became so critical two weeks ago that Congressman Adamson was summoned from Washington. Mrs. Adamson is survived by her husband, three sons, Charles A.

He had some few enemies, of course, political enemies, acquired through liis long years of political activity, but these were overshadowed by liis widespread popularly. During his 38 y ears of of fice life he had opposition but three times Each time he was elected by an overwhelming majority. Nail's friends give him the credit for the re-election of Congressman Bart lett. of the Sixth district, in the recent national election. Walter Wise. Judge Bartlett's opponent, »s said to have made the statement in Griffin that h would carry Spalding county by at leas; 800 majority, which would mean hfs election. Bartlett, hearing this, hast ened to Griffin to confer with Nall, hts friend and ardent supporter How He Saved Day For Congressman Bartlett.

"Well, Turn. if we can keep his ma jority below 375 in this county I'll be elected." Nall went to work at once, writing letters to his friends and making a personal canvass.

JUDGE FITE AGAIN HAPS HIGH COURT Declares Tribunal Which Con victed Him Has Changed Its Recorded Opinion. Continued From Page One. I abusing and chaTging me with hav ing begun it. But. fortunately for me. what I have said is written and in print, and what tile court of appeals have said also is written and in print; and t..e bench, the bar and tile peo ple of Georgia w ill judge us by the facts, and no abuse of me by the court of appeals will help them or hurt me. Wiiat Judge Hill says as to the Shope contempt case in my court is untrue, and he went out of the record to say it. and J have more cause to attach for contempt the judges of the court of appeals for this than they had to attach me, and have as much authority to do so, as my court, like theirs, is a constitutional court; and it is my duty to maintain its integrity. Charges Untruth To Judge Hill. it now seems to mo that if, as a court. I am bound by their con struction of lho law in my case, it is my duty, as a court, to attach them for, what they say as to my alleged judicial conduct in the Shope case, which is untrue, and, to me. seems clearly libelous and slan derous. The truth is, I did not find him guilty of contempt, nor, did I put him in jail; but dismissed the rule on the filing of a proper an-, stver by him. Judge Hill’s attack on Mr. Fow ler, the prosecutor in tlie McCul lough ease, a man who loved his home, his wife and his children more than he does a "pig and heif er," and w ho is as honorable, truth ful and virtuous as Judge Hill or myself, is, under the evidence in the case, only a part of which he quotes, simply outrageous. And liis defense of the negro, who is now and has been for some time in the penitentiary on his own confession of guilt in open court, is, under the evidence in the case, only a part of which he quotes, abso lutely pitiful, all ofl which show’s his inability to comprehend the facts in the case and that he is not sat isfied with the final disposition of it. "In faith, 'tis strange, 'tis passing strange; Tis pitiful, 'tis wondrous pitiful." Challenges Hill to Resign With Him. Judge Hill says: "It i- not a question of the abolition of courts, but a question of the abolition of judges," and intimates that he is ready and willing to refer the mat ter to the people, and I accept his implied challenge, and, make him this proposition: That he and 1 resign immediate ly, our resignations to take effect when our successors are elected and qualified, and go to the people and ■ Ipt them at the ballot box decide who "has dragged the judicial robes through the mire of personal venom, injustice and slander.” 1 will meet him in the open, face to face, before the people all over Georgia—not in my own interest, but in the interest of any reputable lawyer who may oppose him. leav ing my ow n candidacy in the hands of the people of the Cherokee cir cuit. In conclusion, I will say what I have heretofore said, in substance, that 1 did not charge tlie judges of the court of appeals with corrup tion. but did charge them with in competency, and criticised their de cisions accordingly, and in doing so 1 was not in contempt, but was within my constitutional rights as a free American citizen, and every well informed lawyer knows it. and more, the people know it, and the judges of the court of appeals would know It but for their incom petency. 21 ATLANTA GREEKS WILL SAIL FOR HOME TO HELP FIGHT TURK In response to a call from their na tive land for volunteers in the war against the Turks, twenty-one young Greek resi dents of Atlanta will leave tomorrow afternoon for Now York, where, on Jan uary 4. they will embark on the steam ship Laconia, bound for Greece. I lie party Is made up of Greeks from every part of Atlanta, and is not bound I into an organization. The) will leave At i lanta together, having secured transpur lation in a body, but tlie group will dis integrate upon reaching the shores of Greece, each member betaking himself to the detachment representing his native ' community. A call was made by the Greek gov ernment upon the declaration of the war with I urkei 3 l.e Greeks in America Who still owed allegiance to the native land were given four months grace in which to. wind up their affairs in* this country before leaving. Impatient, how ever, a detachment of 150 left Atlanta several weeks ago. and those who will leave W edne-sday have yet much respite left Several of the twenty-one who will leave Wednesday ire American citizens, and owe no dutj to Greece.

Attorney Hopes to Send Con fessed Death Plotter to the Asylum Instead of Gallows. MACON. GA. Dec. 31.—A leading Macon lawyer, who wants his name withheld for the present, has been em ployed by parties, wnose Identity will not be divulged, to represent Mrs. Katherine King, confessed death plot ter. j This lawyer is going to Grays to morrow by automobile for a confer ence with the prisoner. If she gives her consent, the lawyer will at once start a legal fight in her behalf. He intimates that he will not be content with saving her from death on the gal lows, but that his hope, if his employ ment is ratified by Mrs. King, is to send her to the state asylum for the insane. "I accepted tlie employment, such as it is, witli great reluctance,” lie states, riand am. proceeding mostly in the case on account of a feeling of sympathy for the woman. If she does not want counsel, if she herself wants the law to take its course, why, of course, I shall drop tlie case at once. However, if she ■assents to my conduct of her case, I will get busy without delay. The chief condition of my employment as attor ney for Mrs. King is that I must not disclose to her the names of those who have paid me my fee." Sheriff Fearing Suicide Attempt. Fearing that Mrs. King may attempt to commit suicide and that she may endeavor to secure outside aid to that end. Sheriff Charles Roberts, of Jones county, is closely watching tlie jail at Grays, where the woman is a prisoner. Today a woman sent Mrs. King a quart of buttermilk. The sheriff received it and poured it on the ground, saying, "1 don’t know whether anything is in that milk or not." Tlie sheriff declan s lie w ill take no chances with his prisoner. He allows no one to send Mrs. King articles un less first inspected by him. He de clines to permit food to be given her except by himself. Notwithstanding that petitions for a speedy trial for Mrs. King and Jesse Nick Wilburn are in circulation in Jones county, it is not likely that the con fessed slayers of James King will hear their doom pronounced until the regu lar April term of the Jones county su perior court. It is stated by those in touch with tile situation that Judge James B. Park does not favor special terms of court, believing that tliey engender feeling and promote an unhealthy sentiment, ad verse to the defendants. No request for a special term of court will come from Solicitor Joseph E. Pottle, so if one is ordered, the action will be taken in response to the petitions now being signed at Round Oak, Hillsboro, Grays and Bradleys. The petitions recite that the killing of James King by Wilburn, as tile re sult of the plotting of Mrs. King, is tlie worst and foulest crime in the an nals of Jones county, ami that the good people of the county, condemning such outrages, <l< sire that tin* guilty parties shall lie given early tiHals And the iaw vindieat ?d. Mrs. King Refuses To See Visitors. Mrs. King has requested Sneriff Rob erts to Hint away all persons other tlian Iler Hint Ives who call to see her. unless the visitors want to pray will) her and give her spiritual encourage ment. She has not seen a single one of her relatives since In r jail coniine- ment. A Bible has also been furnished her, by urgent request. # The woman Is heartbroken at the lefusal of her children to visit her. and today wrote Nina, her sixteen-year-old daughter and favorite child, begging her not to forsake her mother. Tells of Poison in Another Confession. In another confession to Detective Moore last night, Mrs. King admitted that she had put morphine in his coffee, but the poison hardly affected him. A second attempt was made when Wil burn, at her suggestion, put strychnine in the husband's whisky, and this failed because Mrs. King saved his life with a narcotic. The third attempt, when the man was shot with his own gun, was successful. Mrs. King also declared that two months ago she and Wilburn planned to kill King with a pistol, using a weapon belonging to Frank Wilburn, Nick s brother. They were then to take the discharged cartridge out of the pistol and put it in King's revolver to make it appear that he committed suicide. This plan was never executed because they could not get King alone, one of the children always being present. Mrs. King's second confession shows that for at least four months she and Wilburn daily plotted to end the life of her husband. ' • Fool for Confessing. Says Nick Wilburn. \t ilburn has* also declined to receive any more visitors at the Bibb county jail. Today he told Jailer Hicks that he was "the biggest fool in the world for ever confessing.” "If I hadn’t acted like a crazy man and told that confounded detective all about the thing, I believe I could get out of this scrape,” he said. Wilburn is buoyant at the expecta tion of having active legal representa tipn, his father, who visited him yester day, having decided to engage counsel. Lawyers See Nothing To Halt Conviction "There should not be the slightest difficult) in convicting Mrs. Katherine King and Jesse Nick Wilburn of the murder of James King. The legal dif ficulties in obtaining conviction on an unsupported confession, do not apply to this case,” said Thomas B. Felder, of the new firm of Felder, Anderson, Dil lon & Whitman, today. He was asked by The Georgian to define the le gal status of the noted case. "The prisoners will not be permitted to plead guilty of murder, but should they make no preparation for defense attorneys would be appointed for them and pleas of not guilty entered. Under the law a confession, entirely unsup ported by other evidence, is not per missible as evidence. But if there is other evidence—suon as the negro's, who might swear he saw Wilburn go ing toward King in the woodsthis would serve to convict. "And where there* is such evidence the confessions will be admitted, if they were made voluntarily and without fear of punishment or hope of reward. Con fessions elicited under the ‘third degree’ would not be admitted. "In this case, for instance, the sheriff and Other officers and the newspaper men to wifom Wilburn and Mrs. King made flee and voluntary confessions might be summoned to swear to the substance of the confessions, ami this i \ idenee, taken with the corroborative testimony and circumstances surround ing the case, should be sufficient tor conviction."

I Cites Compliment Taft Paid Police. ‘‘President Taft said it was the best regulated town he had ever seen. When he was here last he noticed that the policemen were able to keep back the crowds during the parade without rop ing off the streets, and he commented on their tine work. "Abolish the police commission? The department hasn't been conducted so harmoniously and so businesslike in years. « "He says our policemen lack 'punch land snap.' Well, the greatest part of the work of our policemen is to catch negroes. We've got men who are ex perts. I had rather have one of these brave men than ten w ho stand up with awesome military bearing and then run when a negro 'pulls' a rock or a razor on him. Our traffic officers are as good as such officers in New York." Park Board Head Resents Criticism. President J. O. Cochran, of tlie park board, was bitter in his reply to the statement of Expert Sands that the park board was useless and even re tarded the work of the park depart ment. “He was hired to report certain things, and those things he had to re port." said he. “Outside of his recommendation that the park board should be abolished, he did not say anything that was not al ready known. The trouble with our parks is lack of money. Why didn't he tell us where to get more money?" Colonel F. J. Paxon’s Chamber of Commerce committee on municipal re T search will consider the report at length within a few days. Then the report will be submitted to council, through the city board.of municipal research. Legislation Necessary To Adopt Suggestions. Council will have to get charter amendments from the general assem bly in order to adopt the more impor tant provisions of the report. Councilman Clarence Haverty, chair man of the city board of municipal re search, said today he was well pleased with the report. He said it was full of material for great good. The report of S. G.

GEMS OPPOSES POLICE BOARD ABOLITION Declares Sands Recommenda tion Would Give Too Much Power to One Man. Taking issue with Municipal Expert Herbert R. Sands, Chief of Police Janie? L. Beavers today declared himself against the abolition of the police board which had been recommended by the prober. The chief declared that under the civil service rules the board is perform, ing a valuable service to the depart ment. in that it chooses policemen w ho are capable, mentally and physically, from the heads of the force on down through the supernumeraries. To abolish the police board, accord ing to Chief Beavers, would place too much power in the hands of the chief and his under-officers, and this privi lege might be abused. Likewise, he asserted, it might lead to the choice of chief by popular elec tion. and bring back into the depart ment the politics of the old days prior to civil service. “Little Politics in Department Now.” “There is less politics in the police department,” declared Chief Beaver.-:, “than there has been In the 24 years I have been on the force. Prior to s’* years ago, when civil service was inau gurated. policemen shook in their boots for fear they would be left off the force by a turn of the political wheel. They needed to know who their friends were, and about election time, when changes were looked for, they were mighty anx ious. Citizens against whom officers made cases said, ‘Never mind —I’ll gel back at you on election day.’ “Now’ all that is changed, and the members of the force are free to do their duty, without feeling that they owe anything to anybody in a political way. This has increased the efficiency of the force, and it would be a great mistake to take any step calculated to upset the civil service.” Answering a question as to the help or hindrance of police boards. Chief Beavers declared: “The police board never has ham pered me.” "The entire police force does not ap pear to have the ‘punch’ or 'snap,'" said tlie expert’s report. To this Chief Beavers replied: "I think the police force has enoug . of both 'punch' and 'snap.' At least, a lot of people think the ‘punch’ is pretty strong.” Opposed to Military Training for Men. As for setting-up exercises and ex treme military features, Police Chief Beavers dissented again. He takes the position that the members of the de partment should at all times present a neat appearance and exhibit sufficient authority and force to maintain the nec sary discipline, but that there should ,be no, czar-like measures or lack it civility toward citizens. “If strict military measures are re quired of a police chief,” says Chief Beavers, “the chief will take it out on his men, and his men will take it out on the people. There is such a thing a going too far in suijh reforms. “Our traffic squad and men on the front in tlie day watch are required to have white gloves and white collars: the ensemble and march to ana from the station is in tlie nature of a daily drill, and there'is a daily inspection of each watch as it goes on and comes off duty. “The men are provided w ith two uni forms a year—winter and summer —and are required to keep the uniforms In good condition at all times. They also are required to shave clean whenovei necessary. You can go to any of the larger cities in the country, and 1 doubt if you will find a force of men who present a better appearance. I went to New York and Toronto, and found some policemen who looked lots worse than members of the local force. “The tendency of military features w ould make a machine of the force—a knock-down and drag-out affair. The soldier applies one principle, obeys one rule, while the policeman must fit rules to individual cases." THE ATLANTA Tonight, Wed. Mat. and Wed.
