WOUNDED AND BLOODY MAN RUNS SEVEN MILES Grimes, Whose Crime Resembles That of Clark, Fled to Dunwoody. Bpeclal to The Georgian. 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.

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.
