Injuries brought against the Georgia 'Railway and Electric Company and tried Wed nesday morning was dismissed on the plea of the counsel for the defense that the accident occurred on the Atlanta Rapid Transit Company's system, and that the present corporation has no legal Identity with that system. On May 6, 1901, Miss Lemla Hamer, of Williams street, then a girl of 10 years, was thrown through a glass window of a car on the Central ave nue line and her face badly Injured by broken glass. Two years Iqter, after waiting until the ful extent of her In juries could be learned, the family brought suit for $6,000 against the company. In the Interval between the accident and the suit the Atlanta Rapid Tran sit Company had been absorbed, with other lines, by the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, which nrtw op erates the street car system. The ault was brought against this company. In the first division of the city court the case reached a hearing Wednesday morning, after many continuances on account of various causes. The coun sel for the defense filed copies of deeds to show that the new company had taken over all. the assets of the old companies and maintained that It had also Incurred all the liabilities of the old companies. Counsel for the corporation entered a plea that tile new system and the old had no legal Identity and the plea was sustained by Judge Reid under the The counsel retnlned by Mies Hamer announce their Intention of filing a bill equity, asking the superior court W onfllet with the Cubans, but that .orders by Cubans be' suppressed by Cuban; IGX’ORDER ROASTS A GREEK WITNESS Pete Brown, a Greek, who keeps a frult stand In Capitol avenue, was given a scorching lecture by Recorder ■ ash Broyles In the police court Wed- ii-.lay morning. iirown appeared as a witness •s onst a woman whom he hud ac- use.l of selling beer.

Ga., Oct. 10.—A fire which started shortly before noon Pol ay burn ed ten small cottages occupied by ne groes In the western section of the town. The houses were all close to- gether and a high wind mi.de th.flre I ^ty of th*.h.rge of conduct unh*- At the meeting of the board of police commissioners Tuesday night. Chief Jennings submitted a report, pursuant to the recent Instructions of the com mission. In which he stated he had made nn Investigation Into the con duct of the police on the night of lhe race riot and had been unable to find any evidence of neglect of duty. In the report the chief also took oc casion to especially commend several officers for the good work done by them In aiding In quelling the riot. The officers are as follows: Sergeant Foster, Detectives Simp son and Campbell, Patrolmen Felder, Gib Davis. Pharr, Wylie, Peyton, the latter not then a member of the force; Hollis, Starnes. Anderson, Hutchins. Doyle and Rosser, and Roundsman Beavers. . . . The chief stated In the report that then- were doubtless others who de- serveo equal commendation, hut that the officers mentioned came under his specie' observation. A Detailed Report. On the suggestion of Commissioner Morris Brandon, the commission di rected Chief Jennings to formulate a more detailed report covering the work of the police during the trouble. It Is the purpoee of the board to ascertain the names of the captains nnd ser geants who were on duty and the names of the men who answered the riot call, us well as the nature of the efforts used by them In trying to suppress the disorder. This report will probably be submitted by the chief at the hext reg ular meeting of the commission. Chief Jennings Is confined to his home with Illness and was unable to be present at the meeting Tuesday night. His report was read to the com- mission. _ .. After hearing a statement from May- or Woodward regarding the appor tionment sheet, the commissioners de rided to go slow In the matter of elect ing the remainder-of the forty new policemen, authorized by a recent reso lution of council. The mayor said It Is possible sufficient money to pay tlie new policemen will not be forthcom- 1 "Twenty-eight of the forty author ized policemen- have been elected on the force, and the civil service exami nation has been taken by a number of others. Those. already e ected will have no difficulty In receiving then money, but the mayor advised the board to go slow In electing any addl- tlonal man. r The commission will meet again on Wedneaday night to receive the report of the civil aervlce examining commit tee on tlie educational examination held Monday afternoon.

Oct. 1#.—The Jury In the Jim Johnson murder rase Is still disagreed, after being out 18 hours. Judge Mitchell refuses to consent t« a mistrial. Johnson Is charged with the murder of hla father, J. A. Johnaon. The asaasslnatlon of the elder John son occurred at the home In lhe lower part of thla county, two.months ago. Soon afterwards Ins son, Jim, 21 years old. was arrested, charged with the as sssslnatlon. In the trial Solicitor Thomas sought to prove a conspiracy between the de fendant and n young brother to kll their father for his $1,000 Insurance. The witnesses were all neighbors and good friends of the Johnsons and while all the evidence was circumstantial, it was pretty clearly proved that Jim Johnson took a gun from a neighbor two weeks prior to the killing and this gun was used In shooting lhe elder Johnson. The gun was thrown In the hushes near by and three days later Jim Johnson was, seen to go to It by the sheriff. The irack that left th- home of the deceased on the night of the murder was followed to a point near the home of the son. Ills wet shoes and overalls were found In tlu room by those who went to notify him of his father's death. During his trial young Johnson was very nervous. He sat with Ills wife and mother and none of them displayed any great emotion or anxiety. Coun sel for Johnson Introduced no evidence The defendant made a statement In which he mnde Indifferent denial of the damaging testimony by state’s wit nesses. Young Johnson Is n handsome man, and had been married less than two months nt the time of the assassina tion. The ramlly Is one of moderate means, but highly respected and con nected with some prominent people of the county.
