Jury Selected After Much
Argument, and First
Case Is Called.
NjMM-irtl to Tbo Gporflsn.
Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 15.—A Jury was
hint night finally HClectecl ln the United
States court to hear the flmt of the
peonage cases that are before the court.
Vesterday morning when court open
ed Judge Swayne announced his de-
t Is Ion In the demurrers of the day pre-
vious to flv^ of toe Indictments against
.Manager \V. 8. Harlan and eleven em
ployers of the Jackson Lumber Com
pany, of Lockhart, Ala., overruling the
objections In each case.
The Indictments, some of which
charge peonage, and others conspiracy
to commit peonage, were held as lefcal
and proper.
First Cass Called.
The first case was then called,
was that of W. 8. Harlan, manager of
the Jackson Lumber Company plant;
S. E. Huggins, W, 8. Howell and C. C.
Hilton, three employees of the compa
ny. who arc charged with conspiracy to
• ommlt peonage. Inasmuch as this In-
oictmont was a new one, counsel for
i/ie defense won It, after which they
< emurred, upon the same grounds as
the other*-, and the court overruled the
'•hjpctlon.
The impaneling of a jury to hear
the first case was then ordered, and
tttojyc* jurymen called. The defense
* ntered an* objection to any of the Jury-
nen serving, for the reason that they
bad been called before the case had
Win announced “ready for trial.” Tho
«ejection was overruled, and the de-
ns<- then renewed objection to any of
«he jury serving on the ground that
»hc names had been irregularly drawn
from the box. This objection was also
overruled. It was Just before adjourn
ment that the Jury was accepted by
buh prosecution and defense.
Hearing of Evidence Begun.
The hearing of evidence was com
menced this morning, and it Is believed
that fully three days will be consumed
••n this caRe alone. The defense Is rep-
i< mi nted by an Imposing urray of coun-
k » 1, while the government is represent
'd by District Attorney Sheppard, As-
^istant District Attorney Reese and As-
i'Dtant Attorney General Charles \V.
ittissell, of Washington.

WHAT THE PLATTS SAY
New York, Nov. 16.—The following statement from the riatts has
been made public by the law Ann of Marsh, Winslow & Weaver:
••Owing to unhappy differences between them, the undersigned have
thlM day executed a deed of separation. While making such announce
ment. we wish to nssert with all possible emphasis the falsity of the scan
dalous articles which have lately appeared In the public prints. While
there have been a scries of differences and disputes, which seem to make
I. separation advisable, there has been no conduct upon the part of either
which could possible be the foundation of a divorce action. No question
of the infidelity of either to the other has ever been raised. Statements
which have charged violent and disgraceful scenes between us are abso
lutely false. 'T. C* PLATT.
1 “LILLIAN T. PLATT."
New York, Nov. 15.—The announce
ment that United States Senator
Thomas Collier Platt and his beautiful
wife, who was Mrs. Lillian Janeway,
had agreed,to separate, occasioned no
surprise among the friends of the cou
ple In this city. It was expected.
Mr. and Mrs. Platt signed a state
ment, which has been made public
through a firm of lawyers, In which
they set forth that their separation was
due to unhappy differences and that
neither had been guilty of unbecoming
conduct.
Senator Platt, who Is In a very fee
ble condition, .Is at his apartments tn
this city, while Mrs. Platt Is at "the
Tioga Lodge, In the Highland Hills. It
was reported some time ago that Mrs.
Platt contemplated filing suit for di
vorce from her husband.
It Is not known wlmt arrangements
Senator Platt has made for Ills wife’s

Railroad Unable fo Move
Freight Stored at Depots
Along Line.
ftpcelzl to The Georgian.
Eatonton, Ga., Nov. 16.—Whether for
lack of cars or for want of sufficient
terminal facilities, as has been sug
gested, the congestion existing here In
the movement of freight surpasses any
former period In tho history of the
town. Cotton that has been sold weeks
ago Is still here In pile waiting to be
shipped.
The railroad platform Is filled to its
utmost capacity and the streets con
tiguous to warehouses are piled with
cotton waiting to be moved by the
railroad. This cotton has been paid
for and the banks are clamoring for
bills of lading, which cannnt he had,
because of the Inability of the railroad
to linndle it.. The local cotton mills
maturing orders find It Impossible to
get their products shipped.
The Putnam Mills and Power Plant,
unable to get cars In which to ship
goods, recently dumppeil a large ship
ment In the depot und demanded a bill
of lading, thus placing the responsibil
ity on the railroad. Freight from At
lanta, Savannah and Macon that should
come through In a day or two, It Is
claimed, requires from ten days to two
weeks tn make the trip.
In addition to all this, passenger
trains are late nearly every day' and
malls very Irregular.
Visiting turfmen to the Putnam
County Fair last week claim they have
made every efTort to get their horses
Hhlpped since Saturday last, but cars
cannot be secured.
The horses, for which bills of lading
have been given, are standing In the
railroad yurds.

HAPEVILLE ELECTRIC
LINE IS BEING LAID
On account of the intention of the
town of Hapeville to shortly begin
paving Its streets the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company has found it
necessary to begin work at that end
of the proposed branch of the East
Point line and laborers have been put
to work on the Job.
President Arkwright expects to have
the line practically completed by the
time of the advgnt of the summer of
1907. The street railway people are
planning to construct a viaduct across
the tracks of the Atlanta and West
Point railway at East Point.
BROTHER SLEW BROTHER;
BROKEN CORK CONVICTED;
MOTHER OFFERED RE WARD
A remarkable story develops from the
application before the prison commis
sion for commutation to present serv
ice of the life sentence of J. M. Camp
bell, convicted In 1896 of killing his
brother, William Campbell.
Three unusual legal questions grew
out of this case, which was tried be-
fnro Attorney General John C. Hart,
then on the superior court bench. Wil
liam Campbell was shot to death while
plowing In, his field. The tragedy oc
curred at a creek where he started to
turn.
Suspicion was not directed 16 the
brother at first, but a broken cork
formed the fetter that sent him.to the
pen for life. The dead inan was found
by some negroes on his place, who went
to notify the brother.
They found J. M. Campbell In the
stable lot in the act of drinking whis
ky from a bottle. When Informed of
his brother'* death he dashed the bot
tle to the ground. When the coroner
took charge of the case a piece of cork
was found on the creek bank near
where the killing took place.
On further Investigation another
piece of cork was found in the neck
of the broken bottle where J. M. Camp,
bell had cost It down. The two pieces
fitted perfectly, A motive was found
for the deed in the fact that Wlllluin
Campbell held a 110,000 life Insurance
policy, and In which J. M. Campbell
would share as on‘e of the heirs. He
was convicted on this evidence and sent
up for life. He la now on the state
farm near Mllledgevllle.
Mother Offered Reward. ,
Prior to the time ‘this chain whs
forged about J. M. Campbell the mother
of the .two had offered a reward "f
8600 for the slayer of her son, William.
When her other son was convicted of
the crime she resisted payment of this
reward, stating that parties had per
suaded her to do so, knowing at the
time that her other son Was the guilty
party.
Judge Hart ruled against her, and sli*
had to pay the reward—an Instance be
lieved to be without parallel. Then the
Insurance company resisted payment
of the policy on the ground that J. M.
Campbell had committed the crime and
had no right to participate In the
money.
Judge Hart ruled that this was not
. matter with which the Insurance
company had concern, but was a mat
ter for adjustment among William
Campbell’s heirs. The company had
to pay the 810.000. The commission
has taken the petition for commutation
of sentence under advisement.
