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.

JUR Y OF MILLIONAIRES MA Y TRY HARRY K. THA H- FOR MURDER OF WHITE 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. • By CHARLES SOMERVILLE. New York, Nov. 16.—There Is u re markable iswstbHIty In tho case of Harry Kendall Than, who. within a few weeks, comes to trial for the mur der of Stanford White.

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.

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.
