In a running pistol battl* with a negro burglar who was discovered In the store of the Dixie Grocery Com pany, 65 Rlchardston Street, early Wednesday morning. Gall Oftteer Watson suffered injuries which prob ably will keep him from his duties for several days Watson, while chasing the negro in ’darkness, broken only by the flashes of the revolver*, slipped on the curb ing and slid across the sidewalk on his hands and knees. He was se verely bruised and cut. The negro, when he saw Watson fall, quit shooting and ran into an alley leading into Whitehall Terrace. Watson limped hurriedly around the block and captured a negro who gave his name as Woody Armstrong, as hi came out of the alley. Four men—<’all Officers Watson and Anderson. Policeman Arnold and “Boots” Rogers—took part in the bat tle with the negro. A pedestrian saw the negro looting the grocery store and notified the police, and the offi cers made the run in Rogers’ automo bile. As they neared the store. Rog ers cut off his <ngine and lights, and ran the automobile silently to the front of the store. As the ofiicers alighted from the machine a negro came out of the front door and opened fire Draws $600 From Bank; Disappears Wife of Samuel Cefalu Prostrated by His Absence—Last Seen Monday.

Hurl, county physi cian. in understood to have said that lie was not at all satisfied on this point. RAILWAYS MUST FURNISH ALL SHIPPERS TARIFFS WASHINGTON, May 7.—Tne question as to whether it is un justly discriminatory for a railroad to furnish copies of Its tariffs to one shipper and deny them to another was to-day decided in the affirmative by the interstate Commerce Com mission. The Commission ordered the roads to publish their The circumstances of the murder were such as to leave the killing with out any understandable motive if this presupposed crime was not accom plished. For this reason the reports of the outrage were accepted by everyone as true, and the authorities themselves have been working on this theory. Solicitor Would Clear Uncertainty. If the examination on the second exhumation proves the contention of the expert physician, the detectives will have iJiifictiU*y in fixing a motive for the murder. Solicitor General Dorsey ordered that the body be exhumed a second time so that the opinion of the ex pert physician might be either posi tively established or disproved be yond a doubt. The conflicting theo ries which have arisen since the body was exhumed last Monday have cast a shadow of uncertainty over the in vestigation that the Solicitor was de sirous of dispelling at once and for good. The order for the second exhuma tion was given by Solicitor Dorsey, but it had not been made up to 2 o’clock on Wednesday. Coroner Donehoo admitted that Dorsey's order had been given, but hM it had not been carried out. He would make no further statement. The report published in an early edition of The Georgian that the body had been exhumed was made on state ments by officials, and that it was for the jHirpose of making a micro scopic examination of every wound on the body for finger prints and other clews. It In undoubtedly the intention of the authorities to exhume the body again. Dorsey Maintains Siienca. Very properly Solicitor Dorsey is not making public every move that the prosecution is engaged in, nor 1* he giving to the public such evidence a* he is pnabled to obtain. It would aeem probably that he exhumation will be made, if not on Wednesday, at least some other day soon; for the belief is growing that there still may be some clews that are worthy of further examination. Parents Object to Exhumation. Solicitor Dorsey Instructed Coro ner Donehoo to secure the permis sion of the girl’s parents before or dering the exhumation of the body, and Coroner Donehoo said Wednesday afternoon that the father of the dead girl, J. VV. Coleman, was very much excited over the reports that the body had been exhumed Wednesday morn ing. The Coroner called on Mr. Cole man and assured him that the body had not been taken from its grave in Marietta. Though none of the officials would make a statement to that effect, it is probable that the opposition whic> developed from the girl’s parents ha-- caused The "officials to abandon their plans to exhume the body, for the present, at least. It was reported that the finger prints on the body were to be photo graphed and compared with the An ger prints of persons under suspi cion; which may, or may net have any basis in facte and might, or might not be of value. After the remains were discovered in the factory base ment they were handled by several prsons—embalmers and oth«T»—and whether there are any Anger prints now on the body is problematic. It is said that a complete chart will Continued on Page 2, Column 1* /
