GERMANS TAKE SIX VERDUN FORTS
ATHENS, Feb. 25.—Judge C. H
Brand here to-day issued a second re
straining order in the fight of the
three sets of claimants to the millions
of the late James M. Smith and saved
J. O. Mitchell, of Smithonla, from g)-
ing to jail for refusing to obey an o!'-‘
der of Judge A. W. Rite to turn over
the property to receivers appointed by
him,
Mitchell, who was secretary of the
dead planter, is acting as agent of tha
temporary administrators who repre
sent the family which claims Colonel
Smith to have descended from the
Wilkes County Smiths, ’
Judge Brand's order enjoins the
temporary administrators from sur
rendering the property to the recelv
ers named by Judge Fite at the behest
of the Cobb County Smith family and
sets March 11 at Athens for a hearing
of the case.
Habersham Smiths Ye* to Act.
Neither Judge Fite nor Judge Brand
has Immediate jurisdiction in Ogle
thorpe County, the seat of the great
Smith plantation. Judge Fite named
Judge David W. Meadow, of the
Northern Circuit, which includes
Oglethorpe County, one of the re
ceivers, and, therefore, ruled that ne
was disqupalified to sit on the case.
The fight has broadened to such an
extent that judges of other districts
may be asked for new orders, for the
Habersham County Smith family,
which claims that its heirs alone have
the rightful title to Colonel Smith's
property, have not made a showing in
the controversy since the case was
taken out of the jurisdiction of Ordi
nary Bacon, of Oglethorpe, by Judge
Fite.
The refusal of Mitchell, who has
been in charge of the Smith proper
ties at Smithsonia since the death of
the owner, to turn over the estate to
the receivers named by Judge Fite re
sulted Jn a telegram by the judge to
the Sheriff of Oglethorpe to place
Mitchell In jall for contempt.
But when the Sheriff arrived from
Lexington, twelve miles away, Mitch
¢ll could not be found. He had hur
ried to Athens and there held a con
ference with members of the Wilkes
County family, whom he represented.
Appeal to Judge Brand.
A prayer to Judge Brand was pre
pared, as follows:
“That the temporary administra
tors as nimed be enjoined from sur
rendering control of any portion of
‘he estate of James M. Smith to said
pretended receivers, or anyone else,
save under the order of the Court of
Ordinary of Oglethorpe County.”
Judge Brand granted the first part
of the petition, but refused to restrain
the receivers named by Judge Fite
from interfering with the estate,
If Judge Brand's order holds good
the lssue Involving the three families
will be decided by Ordinary Bacon,
Just as 1t was planned before Judge
ite Interfered,

When the Virginian had gone Chief
Mayo missed his overcoat, but found

“When I was in your office some

J. H. Miles, on trial for the murder
of Anderson M. Eady on the night of
January 15 last, was acquitted Friday
afternoon by a jury in Judge W. E.
Thomas' branch of the Superior
Court. The verdict, rendered after a
deliberation of one hour and forty
minutes, was the result of Miles’
statement, supported by several wit
nesses, that he shot Eady in defense
of himself and his family.
The verdict was followed by one of
the most dramatic scenes the Fulton
County courts have known. Judge
Thomas had warned the auditors in
the couriroom against any demon
stration, no matter what the verdict
‘might be, and bailiffs were stationed
about the room to preserve order,
The verdict therefore was received
in silence, but as the jurymen were
dismissed and left the room Mrs.
Miles, wife of the defendant, rushed
after them and shook hands, her
thanks broken by extreme emotion.
Miles, moving more deliberataly, also
followed the jurymen into the clerk’s
office and shook hands with each of
the twelve.
In the office of D. O. Smith, just
outside the courtroom, the women of
the slain man's family were awaiting
the verdicc. When the news reached
them Mrs. W. C. Eady, the mother,
and Mrs, Elizabeth Berkey, the sister
who was with Eady on the night of
the tragedy and who testified so
strongly a few days ago, screamed
and fainted. Mrs. Anderson M. Eady,
widow of the slain man, wept bitterly,
but did not faint. Another sister was
overcome by her emotion.
Nurse Aids Women.
Mrs. Carobel W. Smith, assistant
court stenographer, hurried to assist
the excited women and a trained
nurse who had accompanied J. Wylle
Smith, forger, to the courtroom, lent
her ‘skilled a‘d.
Mrs. Eady, the mother, was uncon
scious for some time and physicians
were called. Deputy Sheriffs Plennie
Miner and Drew Liddell and other
court attaches rendered what assist
ance they could.

By JOHNN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 25.—Follow
ing assurances early to-dav that the
United States Senate will yleld to his
demand for noninterference in the
German submarine negotiations and
that the upper house would support
him by probably 2to 1 if the matter
come to & vote, President Wilson
called upon Speaker Champ Clark,
Majority Leader Claude Kitchin and
Rgpresentative Henry D. Flood, chair
man of the House Foreign Affalrs
Comuaittee, to end all agitation for
interference by Congress in the inter
vention situation. y
For nearly an hour the entire fl»
ation was canvassed. The President
stood squarely on his letter to Sen
ator Stone, made public last night
He insisted that the honor .J the
United States was at stake and that
there could be no backing down from
the position taken that the rules of
international law shall be observed
by the Central Powers in conducting
their submarine campalgn.
The House Democratic leaders, deo
spite the fact that the conference
falled utterly to restore amicable
relations between the White House
and the congressional chiefs, told
llh. President they would do what
they could to prevent any interfer
ence by Congress until all diplomatio
measures had been exhausted. They
went imNediately from the White
Houss to the Capitol to take the mat«
with members generally,

Speaker Clark had an opportunity
to make good his promise shortly

the international submarine issue on
the floor of the House. Representa
tive Hulbert, of New York, sought to
have put through a motion to print
5,000 additional coples of the resolu
tion of Representative McLemore
warning Americans off belligerent
ships. For a moment It appeared that
half the Houss wanted to discuss the
motion,
A dosen members jumped to thelr
feet. The Speaker refused to recog
nize those who clamored for the floor.
