l0 ;'dng statement:
The grand jurors have no Intention
■a forestalling any possible action by

investigation Is concerned nothing has
icon found against Mr. Oldknow that
would warrant an Indictment or an
accusation of any kind. About 40 wtt-
nctses have been summoned and close-
o “ llm lned as to the conduct of Mr.
uoknow, but none of them gave any
information that would tend to disclose
criminal acts."
During the session of the grand Jury
i iinaj, the witness room was crowded,
amort- the witnesses being a number
' t city official* and a large number of
saioolasts and former salnoniats.

■■"imsts and ex-saloonlsts. These men
■ re asked as to whether they had
burchasetl cash registers from Mr. Old-
and were also questioned as to
"hether they had been approached In

After thoroughly examining all of

and the Investigation was declared at
an end.
Masting of Council,
That the report of the special com
mittee from the efty council which Is
Investigating the actions of Mr. Old
know will be as harmless to his char
acter as that of the grand Jury, was

tion Friday morning and afiernikm.
Of the forty or more witnesses who
were examined, not one had heard
anything definite, or knew anything
from his own observation, which'would
reflect on Mr. Oldknow’s character.

said he was a saloon man who had not

• A score of little children from the
Decatur Orphans' Home, founded
years ago by Sant Jones, were the first
to pay a loving tribute to the memory
of the evangelist when they gathered
about the bier where the body lay In
state In the rotunda of tho capital
Friday morning and tenderly placed
simple floral offerings on the casket.
Thousands viewed the body of the
evangelist and a continuous stream of
people pkssfit) through the rotunda un*
til It was removed to the receiving
vault In Westvlew cemetery, where it
will remain until a suitable tomb can
be built In the cemetery at Corlera-
vllle. The floral offerings were beau
tiful and were of every conceivable
design, and were expressions of the
lovo and esteem In which the evan
gelist was held.
The tolling of bells announced! the
arrival of the body from Cartersvllle,
and as the special funeral train pulled
slowly Into the union depot shortly
after ID o'clock, the crowd ot over
?. 000 people stood with uncovered heads
as th> casket was carried from the
train to the hearse. The streets tra
versed by the funeral leading to the
capltol were lined with people, and
there were tender expressions of sor
row on every tongue.
After the body had been placed In the
rotunda a brief jnemorlal service was
held by Mr. Jones' former co-workers.
A short address was made by Rev.
French Oliver, of Chicago. A favorite
song, "I want to go There," was sung
by E. O. Excell. E. R. Smoot, Charlie
Tillman and Rev. Oliver. In the pr
offered by Rev. George R. Stuart,
wns associated with the evangelist
for sixteen years, he risked that the
silent lips and tho peaceful face of Sant
Jones might speak a message to every
man and woman who looked upon hi
face and call them to lead Godly lives,
toward which he had pointed them in
life.
The crowd In the capltol was so
large during the ceremony that It was
with difficulty that access was gained
to the corridor leading to the rotunda.
The procession from the rotundu to the
western entrance was four and five
deep, nnd the crowd stood for some
time awaiting an opportunity to view
the body. Finally the people wore pre
vailed upon to pans out tho eastern en
trance and the congestion was re
Keved. , ,
The bodv was taken from the capltol
and carried to Westvlew cemetery at.
8 o'clock. A brief ceremony was con
ducted by Rev. George Duvall, pastor
of the Cortorsvlllc Methodist Church. a<
the, cemetery before the casket was
placed in the receiving vault.
In the party which accompanied th<*
body on the special train from Car-
tsrsvllle were Mrs. Sam Jones, Miss
Julia Jones, Mr. nnd Mrs. 8. P. Jones,

Richmond, Va., Oct., 19.—The fu
neral train bearing the body uf Mrs.
Jefferson Davis arrived here In a pour
ing rain this morning, which entirely
changed the program of the reception.
Instead of taking the body from tho
train nt Elba, In the western part of
the city, it waa brought to the Broad
street station and from there carried
to St. Pauls Episcopal Church to Hr tn
the basement shrouded In Confederate
flags and almost burled In magnificent
flower* from the country over, until the
funeral hour—3 o'clock.
Among the floral offering.! which the
casket was covered was a wreath from
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, another
from the Southern Relief Society and
similar tokens from the governors of
several Southern states.
The details of Confederate veterans
escorted the hearse from the depot to
the church In the rain, and a, more
palhetlc scene could hardly be Im
agined than the march ot this little
band. The Davie family were met at
the train by Lieutenant Governor Elli
son and escorted to the Jefferson Hotel.
The following detail from the Now
York camp of the Confederate veterans
acted as honomrv guard:
MaJ. Edward Owen, commander: Dr.
J. Harris Dew, Col. Theodore C. Cas-
kins and Perry 31. DeLeon. This de
tachment escorted the body on dov.n
to the Byrd street station nnd deliv
ered the casket tv the detail appointed
from the I.eo and Pickett camps In
this city. Among others who came
South with the body was the pastor of
St. Stephens Church In New York, of
which Mi*. Davis waa a member.
Mr. Ellison this morning received a
telegram from James Jones, the old
negro bodv servant of President Davis,
asking that he be allowed to participate
In the ceremonies. It was to this old
man that President Davis entrusted
his wife and children when he was
taken prisoner, and a special place was
provided for him. The old servant Is
now living In Raleigh, X. C„ but ar
rived in Richmond In time to be at the
funeral.
The funeral services commenced
about 3 o'clock, and In spile of the
rain, the church could not hold' the
crowd. The services were conducted
