Dunwody, Ga., Juno 27.—Pursued
by a posse of twelve men, with his
face and clothing drenched In blood
which flowed from a fearful scalp
wound self-inflicted over his right eye,
John Grimes, 22 years old, arrived In
the railroad yards here at 6 o'clock
this morning, after running all the
way from Roswell, In Cobb county,
7 miles distant, where he had. shot
and Instantly killed Mrs. Evie Mc-
Glnness, a handsome widow of thirty
five years, with whom he was madly
infatuated, and then tried to suicide,
after vainly begging his aunt to kill
him.
Grimes carried In his hand a single-
barrel 12-gauge shotgun, with which
be had committed the tragedy.
Calle for An Officer.
In the railroad yards, he met Sec
tion Foreman Croker, who was start
ing to work, and nervously asked him
where he would And a sheriff, stating
that he wanted to surrender.
He was told that no sheriff lived
there, but that the bailiff lived one-
fourth of a mile out of town.
Leaving his gun, the blood-be-
•mirched man ran on to the bailiffs
home, but when he arrived there he
found that the bailiff was away. He
then hastened back Into town, and
went to the home of .'Squire William
Powel, who deputized Richard Nash to
take charge of the man. Nash search
ed Grimes and found on his person a
pair of knuckles and some shells, load
ed with No. 8 shot. Nash then asked
for a rope to tie the hands of the
prisoner with. Grimes answered back
that he need not go to that trouble;
that he came to surrender for a mur
der that he had committed, and did
opt Intend to run.
Tells Story of Tragedy.
Grimes then related the story that
he -loved Mrs. McGinness, with whom
he. was boarding, dearly. She cared
nothing for him, and had refused to
marry him. He had resolved that she
could never marry ony one else, and
had killed her, and then tried to kill
himself.
Called for Food.
Grimes asked for water to wash hla
face and hands, and it was given him.
After washing away the blood, he
called for something to eat, saying he
was tired and hungry*. Breakfast was
prepared and brought to the man, but
the sight of the food sickened him and
he could not eat. He pushed It away
nervously.
Posse Pursued Man.
In a few' moments, a posse of twelve
men, who had pursued the fleeing
murderer, arrived and took him in
charge. He was taken to the office of
Dr. Puckett, where his wounds were
dressed. It was found that the wound
had been Inflicted with a shotgun, the
load taking effect Just above the right
eye and tearing away the scalp up
toward the top of the head. The shot
had glanced around the skull, the
wound being only In the scalp.
After the wound had been dressed,
the prisoner was carried to Alpharet
ta, the county seat of Milton county,
where he was lodged In Jail.
He will recover from the wound.
Boarded With Dead Woman.
At Rosw'ell, Grimes was known as
a worthless fellow, whose chief occu
pation was dodging work. He work
ed at the woolen mills a mile north
east of the town, where he committed
the tragedy, a part of the time, mak
ing money enough to subsist on, and
loafed about the rest of the time. He
Is said to be rather .a dissipated and
debased character.
He boarded at the homo of Mrs.
McGinness, the woman he killed.
Asked for Money,
This morning, Just after daylight.
Mrs. McGinness was In the kitchen
preparing breakfast, and her little boy
was near by. Grimes went to the
small back porch and took a seat just
outside the open kitchen door, laying
his gun across his lap. He called to
Mrs. McGinness and asked her to give
him some money. This she refused to
do. when Grimes lifted his gun ana
fired the fatal shots The load took ef
fect In the right side of Mrs. McGin
ness* head, back of the ear, and the
top of her head was almost blown oft.
She sank to the floor and died In
stantly. _ ,
Cared Nothing for Grimes.
While Grimes had been about the
home a great deal, and she had often
talked with him, Mrs. McGunnls cared
nothing for the man, and was not
aware of him loving her bo madly. The
rash act of the man was not expected
md came without warning. (
Begs Aunt to Kill Him.
Seeing what he had done, Grimes
fled to the homo of his grandmother,
one-fourth of a mile away, and there
related a story of the crime he had
committed. He was greatly txclted,
and pleaded with his aunt to kill him
to save him from the gallows. This
she refused to do and tried to quiet
nlm.
Attempts Suicide.
Seeing that his efforts were vain.
Grimes turned his gun ana fired a
shot Into his head. He was stunned
for a moment, but,, recovering; from
the shock, flod to Dunwody, 7 milei
distant, leaving a bloody trail, ahd ar
riving In about an hour after he lert
the home of his grandmother.
A posse of citizens of Roswell was
quickly formed, and they
man, tracking him by the,bloody trail
he left In his flight.
It will be rememb6red that ClarKe,
who committed a shocking tragedy at
Chamblee. some time ago, fled to Dun
wody,- arriving there In
morning, and there Is a similarity In
th Both°were types of the degenerate,
and both tragedies grew out of a love
for persons who cared nothing for
them.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONVENES
WITH BIG RUSH OF NEW BILLS
n com CLERKS
IIPIIIT DOCKETS
BILL BY SENATOR STEED ADVO
CATES THIS INNO
VATION.
Senator Walter E. Steed, of the
Twenty-third district, Introduced a bill
In the senate Wednesday morning to
compel superior court clerks to pre
pare and have printed a docket of the
civil cases ten days prior to the con
vening of the court.
This bill will meet with especial fa
vor In small towns and the more rural
communities, because it will obvlato
the necessity for litigants, witnesses
and attorneys appearing before a fixed
time.
As now operated the civil docket Is
usually announced in the local papers,
but It 1b said that some Judges have a
habit of changing the order of cases at
will. This visits a hardship on those
Interested because it frequently re
quires attendance at court for several
days before the case Is actually
reached.
If this bill becomes a law it will not
be possible to shift tho docket after it
has been duly set by tho court, and In-'
terested parties will know on Just what
day it will he necessary for them to at
tend.

Now York. June 27.—Evelyn Nesblt
Thaw nnd 1 tarry K. Thaw met In the
Tombs this afternoon for the first time
since Thaw shot nnd killed Stanford
White on tho roof of the Madison
Square Garden Monday night.
"Oh, Harry, Harry!** who cried when
she saw him.
Thaw was nervous and jtale from an
ordeal which he had Just passed with
ryers nnd physicians, who sought to
Inquire Into his mental condition. But
he tried to smile nnd speak gnyly.
"Well, Little Girl."
"Well, little girl, '/>\v goes It?" h#
iald.
"I’m nil right, dear; how do you
feel?" 8aId Mrs. Thaw.
Hhe reached through the bars And
caught hold of her husband's elbows.
For the half hour that they talked she
never rellngulshed her grasp. After
their first greeting she raised her face
to his, ho stoopilng slightly, and they
kissed.
"Don't Hay a word to any one," Thaw
cautioned his wife.
Keeper Flynn did not attempt to
shorten the interview. Ho waited until '
Mrs. Thaw kissed her hushand three
or four times In farewell, «nd, after
shaking him gently by the elbows, re
moved her hands from his arms.
It will be shown In Thaw's defense
that ho wan goaded Into tho killing of
Htanford White by the famous archi
tect's persistent persecution of Evelyn
Nesblt Thaw. White's malignant con
duct toward Mrs. Thaw, It will be con-
tended, drove the young huband in-'
sane and in a maniacal outburst hs
slew the man whom he deemed respon
sible for tho unhappiness of his wife
nnd himself.
Will Tell Her Story.
Tho conference was held today that
tho defense might be outlined In ad
vance of the Inquest, to be held tomor
row, nnd tho grand Jury Investigation'
to follow or. Friday. Young Mrs. Thaw
will not testify at the Inquest, and no
effort will be made by the coroner to
prove the motives for the killing.
On Friday, however, Mrs. Thaw will
tell the story of White's persecutions to
tho grand Jury. That body is expected
to return an indictment against Thaw-;.-
for murder In tho first degree.
Examined by Experts.
Mrs. Thaw Ih staying at the Hotel
Lorraine, in Fifth avenue, with Mr. and
Mrs. Carnegie. After the grand Jury
hearing she will go with them to their
country home In Roselyn, L. I. Hhe de-
slrrs to be out bf New York and yet
near enough to visit her husband in
the Tombs as frequently as their law
yers will porrnlt.
Thaw was taken from his cell in tho
Tombs today across the bridge of sighs
and to the new' court room on the top
floor of the crirnlnul courts building,
where a formidable array of physi
cians were in waiting to subject him to
an examination to determine his mental
condition.
Work Dons in Secret.
The experts present were Dr. Garloa
F. McDonald, ur. Austin O. Flint, Dr.
William Mahon, Tombs Physician Mc
Guire, Dr. Foster nnd some others. As
sistant District Attorney Garvin, In
charge of the homicide bureau, was in
charge of the Inquiry.
Thaw seemed perfectly self-possessed
ami calm. He was apparently quite
filing to answer all questions and’
submit without protest to a lengthy
examination. The examination was In
secret.
Thaw’s wife, persecuted by White,
told to her husband the story of how
White was still persecuting and fol
lowing her. Added to this was a let-'
ter written by White to Mrs. ThawB

engagement with him.
