OF INJUNCTION
AGMNST_ UNION
The Cumberland Presbyterian
Church Fight Is Up Before
Judge Pendleton.
The third cue attacking the right of
the Cumberland Presbyterian general
assembly to merge that church into
the regular Presbyterian organisation
has come to a final hearing before
Judge Pendleton in the superior court.
The “Loyalists,” or those opposed to
the union, are here In force with their
strongest legal talent to uslst the
members of their faction in the former
First Cumberland Presbyterian church
In fighting for the control of the church
property, to which end a permanent
Injunction la sought at the hands of
Judge Pendleton. This petition for an
injunction will take up the time of the
court all of Friday, at least.
For the petitioners, the minority of
the church membership opposing the
union, E. M. Underwood, of Atlanta
J. McClellan, of Weak Point, Miss,
and Judge W: C. Caldwell, of Trenton,
Tenn„ are appearing. In addition to
these. Judge J. H. Fussell, of Colum
bla, Tenn., who la at the head of the
“Loyalist" movement, and T. A. Han
son, of Jasper, Tenn., editor of the
official organ of that faction, are also
present at the hearing.
For the defendants, that part of the
church membership, Including Rev.
George H .Mack, the pastor, which fa.
vors the union with the Northern Pres,
byterlans, E. V. Carter, of Atlanta, and
Judge John M. Gaut, of Nashville,
Tenn., have charge of the case.
The church from which the litigants
come formally, recognized the union,
and their argument Is that If the union
of the two denominations was legal,
then the action of the local church In
recognising such a union Is legal and
the property goes with the union.
It Is claimed that three-fifths of the
membership of the church are for abid
ing by the union, and that the minority
which seeks this injunction prohibit
ing It Is composed of only thirty-five
of the congregation.
It Is claimed by the union element In
their answer , to the petition that the
cost of the church and furnishings was
$24,500, and that besides amounts given
by the ladles of the church, the peti
tioners and other members only gave
$76S. It Is claimed that $15,000 came
from outside sources In the synod and
the denomination. Some $6,000 la still
owing on the church.
Unionists claim that the same Scrip
tural truths ns before are taught In the
church and that whatever the petition
era have lost has been by their repu
diatlon of the action of the constituted
authorities of the church.
This Is, as stated above, the third
fight In the denomination over the ac
tion of the general assembly In uniting
with another branch of the church. The
other two were decided against the op,
jonents of union—one at Decatur, III.,
day 54, and the other at Warrensburg,
Mo., two Weeks ago. '
TALK Of TRAITOR
REBELS_ ROUTED
Bloody Machete Charge Was
Too Much for the In
surgents.
By MANUEL CALVO.
Hpmisl (’able—Copyright.
Havana, Aug. 31.—The smashing de
feat administered to the rebels of As-
berta’s command In the Taperest hills,
near Campo Florida, has, it Is believed,
pretty well crushed the uprising In
Havana province.
The lighting was of the fiercest char
acter, and the battle was won by a
desperate machete charge, which was
too much for the rebels.
In Plnar Del Rio, Pino Guerra re
fused lo Join battle with the govern
ment troops. A strong detachment of
Guerra’s men took Port Cortes after a
feeble resistance. The Insurgents cap
tured at Cabanas the steamship Col
lado, which had a cargo of ammuni
tion.
At the capital the rumors of con
spiracy against President Palma have
died away. It Is reported that Palma
and Vice President Caporte have had
quarrel. Capote Is charged, In some
quarters, with being too friendly with
the Insurgents.

river l»*t night. Tb* ateamer left th*
city Just at sundown and returned at
10:30 p. m. A large crowd of ladles
and gentlemen went on the trip and
most pleasant time was the re.ilu
from the court room to the grand Jury
room.
At II o'clock Judge Roan dismissed
the traverse Juror* and Instructed
Sheriff Brown to notify him when the
grand Jury w#s ready to report.
“It was an outrageous occurrence,"
said Solicitor General Schley Howard,
and he added Impressively and em
phatically, “I will prosecute every one
of them." Continuing, he said: “The
trial of Leon T. Milner for the murder
of B. H. Dorsey was one of the fairest
and most impartial I ever saw. Solici
tor General Charlie Hill, of the At
lanta circuit, was employed to assist
me In the prosecution, the rase wa*
presented fair and square and he was
acquitted by one of the best Juries In
this county.”
Personnel of July.
The Jury was composed of the fol
lowing well-known cltlsens of Clayton
county:
G. D. Medlock, W. N. Henderson, T.

P. E. Mitchell, W. Y. Covlne, J. F. Alex
ander, W. V'. Foster. W. D. Wallis, W.
B. Daniel, P. D. Fort.
When the jury returned the verdlrt,
said Solicitor Howard, Judge Roan
took the precaution to Instruct the
sheriff not to allow any demonstration
by the friends of either party. The
stillness of death pervaded the court
room a* the solicitor published the ver
dict. A* the word* “not guilty" were
pronounced, Milner arose and thanked
the Jury. Aa he left the court room
with Deputy Sheriff E. A. Tanner and
Ed Ragnn nnd Bailiff John $1. Archer,
he was followed by the Dorseys and
Norris. As they turned down the road
rrom the court house to the Jail, th*
firing began. The first two shots were
fired by Otis Dorsey, according to th*
statement of Bailiff John M. Archer.
Archer Grabbed Dcresy,
Instantly, Archer grappled with Dor
sey and they rolled over In the grass
abutting the road. A* Sheriff Brown
and others came up, Archer arose and
aald to the sheriff: "Here, Joe, Is the
man who fired the first shot. Take
charge of him, and I will go help Ten

The two other men were pursuing

lowing a family disturbance. Austin

but his wife spent the night In the

Airs. Austin called at the station
early In the evening and asked that an
officer be sent to make her husband
give up the key to their home. She
was advised to ask for the key a sec
ond time. She went to the railroad l
yards where Austin Is employed as a ernoon.

and a quarrel ensued. They went to
the terminal station together and here
Austin called Officer Anderson and
asked him to arrest the woman. Mr*.

lice station.
At the station Austin turned on his

er husband living at Baldwin, Oa. She
replied that Austin hud known this
when he married her. The case will
be aired In the police court Friday aft-
der a negro cabin on the roadside, leav
ing bloodstains In his trail.
When Archer, Tanner and Ragan
reached Milner, locating him by his
groans, he begged them to not let them
murder him. He thought the mob was
after him and w hen he gave his state
ment In the Jail, It was wdth reluctance,
as he still thought he would be mur
dered by a mob.
When Archer left Otis Dorsey on the
ground, with the sherlfT nnd others
standing around, in the confusion OH*
Dorsey escaped. Sheriff Brown claim
ed he did not understand Archer, and
that he thought Dorsey was sick or
hurt himself. While down Dorsey
claimed that he, too, was shot.
Left About Midnight.
At Jonesboro Friday It was the talk
that Otis Dorsey and Louis Dorsey,
brothers, with their cousin* Hugh Dor
sey, had left Jonesboro Thursday night
about midnight, In a buggy, going
w*est In the direction of Fayette county.
The Dorsty families. It Is said, have a
large family connection In west Clay
ton nnd Fayette counties.
When asked about this rumor. Sher
iff Brown said thAt had been reported
to him as a fact, but he refused at this
time to give the name of his Inform
ant.
Sheriff Brown made a trip over Into
Fayette and to Fayetteville Thursday
night. Returning tc Jonesboro early
Friday morning, he came on to Atlanta
on the 5:45 o’clock accommodation, re
turning to Jonesboro on the § o'clock
Central train.
Norris was arrested as he was about
to board the accommodation train for
Atlanta on wrhlch was Sheriff Brown.
Prominent Family.
Otis and Louis Dorsey are the two
youngest sons of B. H. Dorsey, Who
was killed by Leon Milner about seven
lanta. Judge Dorsey and Hugh Dor
sey were both at Jonesboro yester
day, Judge Dorsey returning to Atlanta
before the Jury returned Its verdict,
but Hugh Dorsey remaining there till
after that time.
They have tw'o other brothers, Ed
and Ben. Ed Is married and many
witneses say he was In the court room
when the shooting took place. Ben, It
was said, was visiting a young lady at
the time. Both of these brothers art
fully and completely exonerated from
any participation In the tragedy of
Thurstlay night.
Seek Otit Dorsey.
Officers at Jonesboro stated Friday
morning that efforts were being made
to apprehend Otis nnd Louis Dorsey
and that they were expected to be cap
tured at any time. As a mater of
fact, Louis Dorsey was arrested early
In the morning In Atlanta.
No criticism has been laid at Judge
Roan's door for receiving the ver
dict at 9:30 at night, for It has been
a custom all over the state, says So
licitor Howard, for Judges to receive
verdicts as late as 13 o’clock at night.
He says Judge Roan did all he could
to guard against his being harmed,
and he was put under the escort of
the officers for that purpose.
