Two Shots Are Fired at Patrolman
McWilliams—Merchant Under
Surveillance—Arrest Likely.
A death threat made several weeks
ago to Policeman J. W. McWilliams
furnished a clew for the detectives
Thursday in working on the myste
rious attempt to assassinate MeWil
Hams at his home in East Atlanta Just
before he came to work early Thufs-
day morning.
A business man is said to have ut
tered the threat against the officer.
He was placed under surveillance as
soon as the story of the Incident was
told, and an arrest is expected if
the facts are found to bear out the
suspicions of McWilliams and the
detectives.
Thought to Bear Grudge.
The business man is reported to
: have threatened to "get" McWilliams
! if it took the rest of his life. An
| arrest in which the patrolman partic
ipated is understood to have been the
cause of the remark.
The patrolman went to his back
porch about midnight. As he leaned
over a basin in washing his face he
found himself looking right into a re-
! volver thrust through the porch rail-
in &-

At the same instant he was deaf

again, but missed fire.

to get his pistol, and returned just

McWilliams told the story of the

What Does Senate Do
With Fruit Knives?
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.—“Why did
the Senate buy grapefruit knives?”
This is a mystery precipitated by pub
lication of expense items of the United
States Senate in a report from the sec

However, the need of grapefruit
knives is not more mysterious than
other items, such as timothy hay, oats,
meal, bran, arnica, mustang liniment,
floss pillows, mineral waters and taxi
cabs.

Elevator Common
Carrier, Is Ruling
Of Supreme Court
The Georgia Supreme Court to-day
held in the C8«« of Lucy L. Allen
against Mrs W. D. Grant, owner of
the Grant Building in Atlanta, that the
owner of a public building in which a
public elevator is operated is a common
carrier under the law. in so far as such
owner’s ob'Jgation to exercise extraor
dinary diligence in handling passengers
is concerned.
Miss Allen thought suit for $25,000
damages against Mrs. Grant, setting
forth that she was seriously hurt and
permanently disabled by a failing ele
vator in which she wan a passenger, and
that the accident was due to negligence
of the defendant. Mrs. Grant demurred
on the ground the owner of the building
was not a common carrier, and hence
not subject to damages. v
