Curiosity was excited before the trial opened this morning by three nfen, strangers thus far, at the trial, who accompanied Attorney Ferguson Into the court room. It developed that these were detectlvea who purported to have obtained the famous letters from Coachman Tom Madlne. W. II. Staub, a private detective, was called to the stand. "Did you obtain any letters from this possession of Madlne7’’ he was asked. "Ye*. air." “Where did you get these letters?" asked the attorney. 'T got this one May (1 out of Ma (line's trunk,” said the detective, hold Ing exhibit 34, the envelope. "When did you get tha others?" “June IS.” ■'Where did you get them?” “Out of Madlne'a trunk." Then the detective told In detail how he hod been employed by the brothers In-law of Hartje to go to Madlne'i room and steal the letters. He had a skeleton key to get Into the room and forced open the trunk. This explains how the letters came Into possession of the prosecution.

The train which left the Grand Can tral station and carried about 200 pas sengers, was going 40 miles an hour when the accident! happened. John Contone, of New York, the baggage master, had a glass of water to his Ups when the crash came. He was hurled through the window.

Mrs. Warren Heath, of Schenectady, who, with her husband, was Injured, sold that after the wreck people were running about Ilk* so many erased sheep. No one seemed to know what to do. And cries and groans were com ing from the cars ahead, where there were still a great many people appar ently unable to get out without help. Because of the lack of funds, It probable that Atlanta will not have an abattoir under municipal supervision for several years. It Is estimated that an abattoir adequate for the use of this city would cost between (76,000 and (100,000. This sum at the present time could not be well spared from the city’s funds, say city authorities. The lack of money does not, how ever, lessen the public sentiment which strongly In favor of the city owning Its own slaughter house, and It Is believed after the meeting of the special council committee, Investigat ing the situation, this tendency to ward municipal control will be even stronger. The committee will hold session Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Ail the members of the committee, com posed of Walter A. Taylor, chairman nnd Councilman Sims, Glass, McEach- ern and Oldknow, have been hard at work collecting evidence ngalnst the present methods and looking Into the ways and means being adopted by. ■■1 - - ■ huge < l! le*. The result of these Investigations are that many startllni illsi-uvprles httve been made and wll be thoroughly aired at the meeting Tuesday. It Is the general opinion that within a ell-.it period of time the method now In vogue at Cleveland. Ohio, a III bfl Installed here. This consists of a rigid ante-mortem nnd post-mortem Inves tigation of all nnlmnls slaughtered. The Inspections ora mode by competent In spectors and If any unusual conditions develop In the animal th^ carcass Is turned over to a veterinary surgeon. This method, although It cannot be ns complete and satisfactory as a pub lic slaughter house, will greatly Im prove the present conditions, and wilt doubtless be followed In time by the municipal abnttolr. Depends on Whether Judge Speer Granted Su persedeas. A delicate point has arisen In con nectlon with the Rawlins case, and upon which hinges largely the Imme diate fate of the three Rawlins and the negro Alt Moore. The question Is as to whether Judge Emory Speer allowed a supersedeas In the hearing before him In Macon Friday. It does not appear from the stories coming from there that such was th* case, and If no supersedeas was granted then th* Issue as to whether the executions take place next Friday la squarely up to the governor and no one else. Attorney General Hart was In con sulatlon with the governor Monday morning, when the matter was thor oughly discussed. In the absence of th* papere from Macon, which have not yet reached Governor Terrell, Judge Hart could give no positive de cision. In the meanwhile he Is going over th# records In order to be able to advlse-hlm when the record* arrive here.
