"Guilty, but Not Proven,” Was Ver
dict of Jury Which Set
Youth Free.
MACON. Dec. SO.—“Guilty, but not |
proven." was the veTdict returned by
a Bibb County Jury in Ihe case of
Fletcher Davidson, a 12-year-old boy,
charged with burglary. Acquittal was
recorded.
Five minutes a(ter he walked from
the courtroom, the boy confessed to
the Sheriff that he had burglarized
Brantley's meat store and robbed the
till of $260. While the jury was out
deliberating the youngster, who is
the leader of a gang of mischievous
boys, remarked to Sheriff Hicks: ‘‘I’ve
got no cnance to get off. There are a.
lot of rubes on my jury.”
The boy hid in the store on a Sat
urday night, and. after it was closed,
stole the money. Then he escaped by
a back coor.
Fletcher Davidson has been in the
toi’s of the law several times, but
has never been convicted. There is
another charge pending against him,
that of horse stealing. He Is an or
phan whose only relative is a sister,
living in Columbus.

Terrence of the “Bla,ck Tyrone"
Is Dead. Says Author, Who
Proves Genial Host.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20. -Obituary—
Terrence Mulvaney, late of Her Ma
jesty. Queen Victorier’s ‘‘Black Ty
rone." a ‘‘corp’ril wanst" and a "first-
class flghtin’ man" always, is dead.
He ‘■’aid his nearest relative was
Dinah Shade], and his closest friends
(though he held them in their places
to the end) were "Little Orthrls”
and “Learoyd" and "Mister Rudyard
Kipling sor."
This is the sad news brought back
by Irvin Cobb from England the
other day.
The deatli of Mulvaney, deathless
hero of "Soldiers Three.” was sol
emnly announced to Mr. Cobb by Mr.
Kipling himself at luncheon.
"To the best of my knowledge—the
best of my memory, would be better—
Mulvaney is dead," said the wizard
of India’s romance. “Last I saw of
hifn he was superintending a gang of
ooclies on a cut in India. He was a
bit seedy and down-at-heel. If he
has not already passed away ho soon
will, and Dinah Shadd will bury him."
Mr. Cobb said he found Kipling not
at all the uppish Britisher that some
have pictured him to be. He “winked
back the same as us" to Mr. Cobb.
The writer drew' a striking pen pic
ture of Mr. Kipling at home.
"We arrived a bit early,” he said,
“and Mr. and Mrs. Kipling were out,
but had left word they would be back
directly. We strolled in the garden,
awaiting them We had not gone far
from the house when we heard a
shout and saw a man jump over the
hedge and run toward us He wel
comed us as Mulvaney probably wel
comed him—when he brought a pint
of beer as the price of a story. He
seemed to be in appearance a sort of
combination of Theodore Roosevelt,
William Travers Jerome and Bob Da
vis. Ho has quick felinlty of move
ment, the rapid thrust and parry in
conversation and a very definite way
of stating a conviction.”
He talked to Cobb of war and Peter
Finley Dunne. “One of the greatest
writers in America," he said of
Dunne. “A dull mathematical prob
lem,” he said of war.
