FAILURE OF POLICE IN DUTY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RIOTS
Grand Jury Gives
Out List of Pre- '
sentments.
CRGES DEATH FOR
attempt at assault
Scores Electric Car Compa
ny for Monopolizing
County Roads.
The September term grand jury fln-
!,hed He duties Tuesday morning and
after making Its general presentments
before Judge Pendleton, was dis
charged for the term.
Here are the principle presentments:
"We carefully investigated the re
rent unfortunate riot, many witnesses
having been examined, and every effort
having been made to arrive at the ex
act facts, and aa a result a large num
ber of Indictments were found. It Is
the opinion of the grand Jury that, had
I the isillce department opposed a deter-
[ mine.] front to the mob at the Incep
tion of the riot,' all serious trouble
! could have been averted. After the
; riot was under full headway the Indi
vidual members of the police force,
with some exceptions, seem to have
acted with courage and with a con
sciousness of the gravity of the situ
ation. except that there was too little
disposition to resort to stringent meas
ures In protecting the Innocent and
helpless. When Innocent persons were
Itelng maimed and murdered r.o meas
ure was too extreme for their pro
tection. We regret exceedingly to re
port that some members of the police
force failed signally and absolutely in
the performance of their duty on that
fatal Saturday night. Whether their
failure was due to cowardice, or to ac
tive sympathy with the rioters, their
conduct was a blot on the fair name
and fame of Atlanta, and brought re
proach upon the whole police depart
ment of the city.
Co-operation Needed.
■We believe that the better class of
both races are urgently demanding the
restricting of nil lawlessness and the
prompt enforcement of the law, and
we think the time has arrived when co
operation between the best elements of
both races can be brbought to bear In
lessening crime. To reach the criminal
negro, we urge upon all law-abiding
negroes that they do everything In
their power to assist the public au
thorities to ferret out crime and to ap
prehend the criminal.
"For the protection of our rural pop
ulation, we urge the establishment of
a thoroughly equipped and efficient
constabulary, organized by each coun
ty and aided by the state.
"We wish to commend the action of
our city council in providing that no
saloon shall In future be allowed to
serve both races. We wish further to
call the attention of the city authori
ties to the fact that many billiard and
pool rooms In the city are places that
HERE ARE SALIENT POINTS
IN REPORT OF GRAND JURY
What the Fulton county grand Jury found in its presentment Tues

Rests blame for Atlanta riots on cowardice and Infficlency of certain
members of police department.

A movement to secure refilling, re-

probably result from the talk made by

that such of those places as are detri

"We believe the crime of assault with

In this conviction by u case we have
been called on to Investigate during our

that our Immediate' representatives In
the next general assembly use their
earnest and best efforts to have a law
passed in accordance with this recom

In regard to the fee system, the pre
sentment gave the following as the
giand Jury's opinion:
Ths Fes System.
“We believe that for years past every

this vicious system seems us strongly

"I believe that the notation of this

said he, "and if It Is put through At

would get better freight rates and bet

"The statements made that the state
lost money while operating this road
are absolutely false, and the figures
will prove it. Everybody who pre
tends to know anything about It knows
that while the state was operating this
road every cent of surplus money not

SPIRIT OF THE METROPOLIS
SWEEPINGLY FOR HEARST,
SAYS JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES
Concord, N. H., Oct. 30.—la order to
set at rest the report that her health
was so undermined that she practically
was unable to understand the affairs of
the day, a private audience was grant
ed by Mrs. Mafy Baker Eddy, heud of
the Christian Science feet, to a limited
number of newspaper correspondents at
her home In Pleasant View, this after
noon. The Interview was so surround
ed with “safeguards" that It failed of
Its purpose.
The front part of the Eddy home
stead was selected as the place for the
Interview, arranged by Wilson, the
Boston scientist.
Questions Are Prepared.
After the correspondents had ar
ranged themselves about the room.
Wilson stepped forward and told them
that Mrs. O'Brien, of Rldgway's, who
many months ago wrote a eulogistic
account of Mrs. Eddy's life, would
question the leader and that “as the
correspondents are here on tolerance
only, no other questions can be asked.”
A list of questions had been prepared
as follows:
Mrs. Eddy, are you In perfect
health ?"
"Mrs. Eddy, have you any other phy-
slclan than God?”
"Mra. Eddy, do you drive out every
day?”
‘Mrs. Etldy, does any other person
other than yourself own and administer
the property formerly held by you?"
Insisted on One Question.
This latter question was only placed
on the list at the urgent request of th4
correspondents, who did not like t4
have stereotyped questions alone asked
For a time those In charge objected
to the question, but finally they an
nounced that It would be all right.
Then Wilson made a little statement
saying:
“Mrs. Eddy Is to receive you In her
own home at my written request nnd
she Is willing to meet the representa
tive newspaper men because she wants
to set nt rest the stories that she Is a
confirmed invalid and unable lo do
anything for herself. You are guests
by her courtesy here and there must be
no undue display.”
8ha Clings to Curtains.
Mrs. Eddy was to walk down the
stairs in the presence of the newspaper
men and come Into the parlor and greet
them. Then she was to walk out of the
room, enter her carriage and go for her
dally drive. Rut before she appeared
the men who had taken up a position
Inside of the parlor where they could
observe her progress down the stairs,
were surprised to see her footman. Sec
retary Frye, whisper to the strong-
armed nurse that stood In the doorway
and iaw her draw across the curtains
so that all view of the hall and stairs
was cut off.
For a space of five minutes tills was
the rule, and then the curtains parted
and the venerable form of the elderly
leader appeared In the doorway.
A slight, withered form It was, too,
showing all too plainly the weight of Its
many years. She half clung to the
curtains, apparently supported by a
hidden hand without the door, and Mrs
O'Brien stepped forward to question
her. "
Questions Are Aeked.
"Are you In perfect bodily health?' 1
rang out the clear soprano voice of
young Mrs. O’Brien.
"I am."
It wos a pitiful attempt at an an
swer. Mrs. Eddy stood In the door-
"Music hath charms to soothe the
restless spirit of the troubled prisoner,"
Is an expression that might be applied
to J. H. Crutchfield, the machinery
broker, held behind the bars of ths
Toner, accused of shooting his wife
and beating her In tho head with the
butt end of a shotgun.
In order that the time mav pass more
pleasantly and the monotony of his
prison life relieved to some extent,
Crutchfield has had a splendid phono,
graph removed'from his apartments to
hla present quarters In the hospital
ward on the fifth floor of the Jail, and
Is amusing himself, as well as giving
the other prisoners a treat, with tuneful
music.
With an audience composed of
number of trusty prisoners, who are
not confined to cells, and some news
paper men, Crutchfield Tuesday morn
ing was host at a phonograph concert
About sixty records were token to the
Jail with the machine, and on Tuesday
Crutchfield sent nut and purchased
twenty-eight additional records.
“I suppose this ought to furnish me
plenty of mulsc,” he remarked as the
second batch of records was brought to
him.
In Jovial Mood.
Crutchfield had Just been informed
that his wounded wife appeared'much
Improved Tuesday morning, and this,
together with the music, put him In a
Jovial mood. He seemed In better spir
its than at any time since his arrest.
Several rag-time pieces were played
on the phonograph, and these Crutch
field eeemed to enjoy very much. In
looking over the records, he found the
soon song:
“I’d Rather Be Outside a-Looklng
In Than on the Inside a-Looltlng Out,,
and this at once struck his fancy.
“Now, we have It," he exclaimed with
a emlle. “Here Is something real ap
propriate."
This song appeared to please the
prisoner more than any of tho others.
A striking coincidence In connection
with the playing of this coon song la
the fact that It was sung In Atlanta
on the occasion of the appearance of
Haverly's minstrels by "'Billy” Beard,
husband of Mrs. Crutchfield's sister
nnd brother-in-law of Crutchfield. “Bil-

Held remarked:
"These are my maids."
“I also have a valet," he said with
smile.
Crutchfield said he had been ren

that the confinement was not worrying
him very much.
"Everything about here Is kept clean

truth. I had rather he here than 111

more Inviting."
Paul Crutchfield, eldest son of the
prisoner, visited him at the Tower
Tuesday and brought hla mall and

Crutchfield will be defended by At'

Piss of Insanity.
When asked whether he Intended to
plead Insanity, as has been reported,
Crutchfield said:
You will have to ask my lawyers
about that."
He stated that at the time of the
shooting he was terribly wrought up,

It was announced at tho Grady hos

New York, Oct. 30.—Confidence ra
diates from the Hearst headquarters.
Not a man feels any doubt of a tri
umphant conclusion of Tuesday's elec
tion.
•Mr. Hearst seems serene, but Is never
over-confident. Ills speeches are the
wonder of the campaign, and not even
Bryan's \vere more effective. They are
brief, compact, packed with meaning
anil powerfully delivered. Unlike our
Southern campaigners, he rarely speaks
uver twenty minutes, but he makes
eight speeches In a day.
In a powerful Impromptu speech at
Syracuse last night, answering the
Telegram, the evening edition of James
Gordon Bennett's Herald, he declared
that he had labored, with the Hughes
campaign managers to agree upon an
absolutely non-partisan Judicial ticket.
The partisan refusal of Hughes and
managers forced the Democratic Inde
pendent ticket, which Includes two Re
publicans and Is a clean, safe ticket In
every way.
He defended his Incorporation of
newspapers by saying that the object
of every trust was to limit production
and raise prices, but that his lapers
had Increased production of all New
York papers from eight and twelve
pages ten years ago to sixteen, twenty
ami twenty-four pages, and had de
creased prices from 2 to t cent—the op
posite of trust methods.
The spirit of the Metropolitans Is
sweeplngly for Hearst, and even money
can hardly buy the election away from
him.
It Is recalled that In 1893 Republic
ans had more money 1n Now York than
ever before and lost by an unprece
dented majority, anil that the Demo
crats Itsve never had more money than
in the last Parker campaign. In which
they were overwhelmed. So that money
not always wins In every Instance.
Max Ihmsen tells me that he expects
Hearst to come down to the Harlem
liver with as many votes as Hughes
and leave the city vote as a clean ma
jority. If tills Is verified. It looks like
100,000 majority fur Hearst.
support her, and her body tottering, as
she surveyed her questioners, tried to
oemprehend what It was all about. It
was plain that she considered her pri
vacy had been outraged, but that a
stronger mind than her own had Im
pressed upon her the necessity of mak
ing a good Impression.
"Have you any other physician than

"Eh—what? Oh, yes, J hear you.
I have none other physician than God.

Assisted Into a Carriage.
As Mrs. Eddy concluded her beauti
ful testimony, which was only hulf au
dible to those about her, she turned
Heartily away toward the all-powerful
Freye, who. In the uniform of a fnet-
man. stood ready to assist her to the
waiting carriage.
Mrs. O'Brien pushed forward, clear
ing the hall.
"Mrs. Eddy," she begged, and the
tone of the tearful pleading In her
voice was very manifest, “won't you
pl;ase tell us this: do you drive out
every day?"
Rut Mrs. Eddy paid no heed. She
apparently murmured something which
the waiting stenographers, sent there
liy the people in control lo make the
Interview “official," took the "yes," but
to the listeners It. sounded more like a
tired mono. •"
She was assisted Into her carriage by
the buxom nurse a»d the Interview
was terminated.
HARRY ROLLESTONE
DIESFR OM A C ClDENT
Well Known Clerk
Passes Away at
Hospital.
Harry RoIIeiitone, manager of the lin

sidered one of the most efficient and
competent employees of this big de
partment store.
Monday night Mr. Rollestone was In
a store on Whitehall street. Counters
were being changed, and when
leaned upon a temporary counter, his
added weight tipped It over. The
heavy piece of furniture fell across
his legs, breaking one ankle In two
places. He was carried to the Grady

STEAMER BELIEVED LOST
ARRIVES WITH $2,725,000
Huston, Mass., Oct. $0.—With five tons of gold specie, valued at
$2,726,000, In her hold, the largest shipment of the yellow metal ever re
ceived at this port, the British steamer. Arablstan, anchored today In Bos
ton harbor. The Arablstan Is the ship which caused her owners great
anxiety by falling to make Havana during the time of the Cuban hufrl-
cane. .
For several days It was feared that she hud gone to the bottom with
all of her precious cargo. The gold comes from Buenos Ayres, consigned
to the City Bank of New York and the Second National Bank of Boston.
Atlantic City. N. J.; Oct. 30.—With 6.1
bodies taken from the wreck of the
electric train which shot from the tres
tle over the Thoroughfare here on Sun
day afternoon, dynamite was employed
early today In an effort to raise other
bodies believed to be In the vicinity of
the wreckage.
The wrecking cranes have been used
to raise the cars. It Is believed that 11
persons still remain in the water.
This Is a city of mourning.
Throngs from Philadelphia and Cam
den continue to remain here. Many
have dead loved ones to carry away,
and many more remain In the vain Idea
that they can be of aid In the search
for bodies, which will not be abandoned
until the possibility of further grue
some discoveries Is past,
twisted monument to the dead.
The bodies were released by the cor
oner late yesterday. The crowds which
suw them depart were hushed and
silent and mnny who had sustained no
personal Injuries by the wreck Joined
the bereaved In weeping.
It Is generally believed now that tho
failure of the drawbridge to lock prop
erly was tho sole cause of the horrible
accident.
Trucks of Cars Raised.
The railroad company's divers and
wrecking crews have raised all trucks
of the derailed cars and only the frame
work of the two rear cars remain. It
Is these the company wants to dyna

Mnyor Stoy have forbidden.
David Freed, foreman of the grand
Jury In New York, appeared at isillce
