Lawyer and Broker Battle With Fists in Public
M. JONES
Quarrel Over Suit Leads to Per
sonal Encounter in Lobby of
Third Natior^ Rank.
Crowds of pedestrians were thrown
into excitement shortly before 3
o’clock Monday afternoon when Wil
liam E. Arnaud, of the law firm of
Arnaud & Donahoo, and R. M. Jones,
a prominent lumber broker, engaged
in a fist fight in the lobby of the
Third Notional Bank building.
Mr. Jones struck Arnaud a blow in
(he face, but before Mr. Arnaud
could retaliate, friends separated the
two enraged ;en. Although no ar
rests were made, it is understood
that Arnaud mav take action.
The trouble occurred, it is said,
over an alleged suit for $500 filed by
Arnaud against Jones.
According to bystanders, Jones
walked up to Arnaud, who was just
emerging from the elevator of the
bank building, and asked him why
he “did not dismiss the garnish
ments.”
“That wouldn’t do us any good,’’
Arnaud is said to have replied,
whereupon Jones struck Arnaud a
terrific blow in the face.
Arnaud attempted to counter, but
was prevented by friends and by
standers who pulled the two men
apart.
Arnaud is said to have filed the
.'•nit for $500 against Jones in some
business connection and then later to
nave issued garnishments against
Jones.
White Women's Plea
For Negro Expected
To Prevent Hanging
As a result of numerous petitions
and telegrams from the white women
of Clinc h County, the sentence of Lige
Lane, a negro, condemned to die Wed
nesday for assault, probably will be
commuted to life imprisonment by
Governor Slaton. Lane's attorney, J
G. Dickerson, arranged to confer with
the Governor Monday afternoon.
Governor Slaton declared Monday
morning he had never been confront
ed by such a knotty problem as the
Lane case. His best judgment, he
said, told him the negro should hang
for such an offense, but, on the other
hand, the appeal ~f the white women
and the recommendation of the At
torney General, as well ag the State
Prison Board, for a commutation on
the basis of evidence wh! has not
been published, cauie him to hesi
tate.
The Governor algo announced that
Will Varner, the Newton County ne
gro under sentence of death, would be
nanged on September 26, following a
respite.

Hugh W. Timothy, 28 years old,
the son of a wealthy Chattanooga
department store owner and known
in Atlanta society circles, wail arrest
ed Monday by Harry Scott, of the
Pinkertons, on .suspicion of having
used the malls In a swindling scheme
which is said to have already netted
young Timothy more than $ 1 ;250 since
he started operations in March.
Timothy’s plan, according to Scott
and the postal inspectors, was to ad
vertise that he was in a position to
fit applicants for jobs as porters with
the Pullman Car Company.
The Government representatives
charge that Timothy, who is a medi
cal student In this city, inserted ad
vertisements in the Atlanta papers,
presenting himself to be W. E. Po-
liere, superintendent of the Pullman
service instruction department of the
Pullman Company.
They say that the advertisements
directed those who responded to ad
dress their replies to Box 804 at the
local postoffice. The applicants were
sent a form letter which told them,
it is said, that Mr 1’olL re w'ould be
very glad to mail them a set of print
ed instructions which would fully
prepare them for service as porters
with the Pullman people. This set
would cost $5. but if for any reason
they failed to pass in their examina
tion, the money willingly would be
refunded to them
Many Victims, Say Inspectors.
There were many victims, the pos
tal inspectors assert. Complaints
came not only from Atlanta, but from
cities far removed. Two hundred and !
fifty are said to have bitten at the
bait. One of the postal inspectors
notified Timothy that complaints had
been received and that he would have !
to cease getting mail at the local j
office.

is said to have cashed all the money
orders and checks through the Cen
tral Bank and Trust Corporation,
where he had an account under his
fictitious name.
Assistant Cashier King had been
informed of Timothy’s alleged opera
tions. and Monday morning when the
young medical student entered to
cash a check for $15 King glanced at
him keenly and then shouted; “We

County police, assisted by a posse
of farmers, are scouring the country
for a white man who at 4 o’clock
Monday afternoon attacked a 16
year-old white girl near the Uto>
camp on the Cascade Springs road
and then escaped. Under the lead
ership of Chief Z. E. Rowan of the

that community, and he mished to
her assistance. The man tied, leav

ment is said to have ran high, and
a lynching was feared had the brute
been found.
