grams to the number of nearly
a doseiPcame from Chicago to
day for Louis A. v Gourdaln.
They were delivered to him at
the Hotel Savoy, where he spent
the night.
The telegrams, It was learned,
came from Mrs. Gourdaln and
friends of the convicted man.
They begged him to come West
at once and end his search for
a Judge kind enough to let him
enter the penitentiary gates. He
Ignored them utterly.
The young min evidently for
got his determination not to eat
until his petition was filed with
the United States supreme
court, also his vow not to speak.
He had an early breakfast In hla
costly apartments, consisting of
strawberries, cantaloupes, oat
meal, fried mush and a large
pot of coffee.
"Get me some molasses,” he
said to the waiter, "and be sure
It’s from Louisiana."

Charlotte, N. C., July 19.—The prom
ised sensational trial of the twenty-
one, alleged Anson county lynchers was
brought to a dead halt yeaterday after
noon, after a morning spent In argu
ment and searching of the state laws,
and it was decided that a caae without
precedent Is Involved In the affair
which the state supreme court will
have to settle.
In a nutshell. It Is this; "Can the
grand Jury of Anson county Indict a
man who Is taken to Union county for
trial?”
Judge Shaw held thdt there was no
precedent to Justify him In continuing
ths trial wherein a Union county grand
Jury on Monday of this week had found
a bill of Indictment against an Anson
county defendant, or that It was legal
to transfer the case from Anson to
Union under the existing circum
stances.
The bonds of the defendants have
been fixed at $5,000 each, aa before, and
they have been given permission to re
turn home, the cases against them go
ing up to the supreme court on appeal,
and they being bound over to appear
In court In Monroe, Union county, at a
later term.

TRY A WANT AD
IN THE GEORGIAN
THEATERS
At the Casino.
Patrons of the Casino have no mu-a
for complaint In th* rem.ti k.ii.lv , l. v.-r
vaudeville bill being furnished thla
week at the summer theater. One
might truvel the big vaudeville clmills
over to And a better one, nnd then nut
sueeeed. There la a pleasing diversity
In the act* and a high standard of ex
cellence with nil which makes the
theater-goer feel that he Is getting full
value for his money. Possibly ibis
explains the good attendance this weelc
despite the rajher uninviting wMtMH
that has prevailed most of the time.
One of tha most talked-of acts on tho
bill Is that of the Jupiter Brothers.
Usually one nears naif a doaea solu
tion* of the most mysterious tricks, lint
In the present case no one has voltm-.
leered a solution, although many hare
gone a second time to get a clue as to
tow the trick I* done. It le clever, to
say the least, and as the parties lay no
claim lo occult art, one must como to
the conclusion that the party In the
cabinet haa found some unexplalmihin
way of getting loose from the cords
that bind his arms to the chair. At any
rate. It Is a novelty which has .created
much lalk from those who acknowledge
themselves entirely baffled and unable
to explain how It Is done.
With good weather the Casino will
doubtless get fine crowds during the
balance of the engagement, as the show
certainly deserves It.
