S|.c ini to Tho Georgian.
IVnxacofq, Fla., Nov. 15.—A jury was
l ist night finally selected In the United
States court to hear the first of the
peonage cases that arc before the court.
Yesterday morning when court open-
•-I Judge flwayne announced his de-
♦ i-ion In the demurrers of the day pre-
> i*»us to five of t.ie Indictments against
.Manager.W. 8. Ilctrlan and eleven em
ployees of the Jackson Lumber Com
pany, of Lockhart, Ala., overruling tho
••hjections In each case.
The indictments, some of which
«liarge peonage, and others conspiracy
i<> commit peonage, were held as legal
and proper.
First Cost Called.
The first case wan. then culled. It
was that of AV. 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 are charged with conspiracy to
commit peonage. Inasmuch ns this In
dictment was a new one, counsel for
Hie defense won It, after which they
demurred, upon the same grounds as
the others, and the court overruled tho
objection.
The Impaneling of a Jury to hear
the first case was then ordered, and
twelve Jurymen called. The defense
entered an objection to any of the jury
men serving, for the reason that they
had been called before the case had
ht oi announced “ready for trial.*' The
objection was overruled, and the de-
fi*nse then renewed objection to any of
the jury serving on the ground that
the 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
huh prosecution and defense.
Hearing of Evidence Begun.
The hearing of evidence was com-
need this morning, and Jt is believed
nit fully three days will be consumed
• n this case alone. The defense Is rep-
' M uted by an Imposing array of coun~
while the government Is reprosent-
• I by District Attorney. Sheppard, As-
• ■»uuu District Attorney Reese and As
lant Attorney General Charles \\'.

WHAT THE PLATTS SAY
* New Yolk, Nov, 15.—The following statement from the Platte hae
been made public by the law firm of Marah, Winslow & Weaver:
"Owing to unhappy differences between them, the undersigned have
Ibis day executed a deed of separation. While making such announce-
ment, we wish to assert with all possible emphasis the falsity of the scan
dalous articles which have lately appeared In the public prints. While
there have been a series of differences and disputes, which seem to make
a separation ndvlsnble, there has been no conduct upon the part of either
Which could posslblv he the foundation of a divorce action. No question
of the Inlldelltv of either to the other has ever been raised. Statements
which have charged violent and disgraceful scenes between us are abso
lutely false. , •“*’ *’
New York, Nov. 15—The announce
ment that United States Senotor
Thomas Collier Platt and his beautiful
wife, who was Mrs. Lillian Janeway,
had ugreed to separate, occasioned no
surprise among the friends of the cou
ple In this city. K was expected.
Mr. and Mrs. Platt signed a state
ment, which has been made public
through u firm of lawyers, In ■ which
they set forth that their separation woa
due to unhappy differences and that
neither had been guilty of unbecoming
conduct.
Senator Platt, who Is In a very fee
ble condition. Is nt Ills apartments In
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 what arrangements
Senator Platt has made for Ills wife’s
future support.
JUR Y OF MILLIONAIRES
MAY TRY HARRY K. THAW
FOR MURDER OF WHITE
SHORTAGE OF CARS
CAUSES^CONGESTION
Railroad Unable to Move
Freight Stored at Depots
Along Line.
By CHARLES SOMERVILLE.
New York, Nov. 15—There la a re
markable possibility In I lie case of
Harrv Kendall Thaw, who, within a
few weeks, comes to trial for the mur
der of Stanfoixl White. The possibili
ty Is that he may be adjudged gullty
or Innocent of the murder of the great
architect by a Jury of millionaires.
1,1 i|,o matter of wealth, the Jury
that considers this case may repre
sent the sum -f something more than
j-DOAOOOa. one hundred men have
l,Vit drawn,on n special panel; They
„ i )v ,!. examVud by the commis
sioner of juries with a view to tlielr
ability, to serve on a jury In u trial for
murder.
The commissioner of jurors resorts
to more than superficial observation,
looking to a Juror's general fitness, nnd
the. Idea of saving the county time and
money by drawing men who will not be
topelessly unavailable.
The result of the drawing of the
present panel has quite Inadvertently
brought many wealthy men upon It.
Some are really very wealthy, while
others have fortunes that In modern
■lays of fortunes will be- merely con
sidered comfortable possessions. 1
Kpeclal to The Georgian.
Eatonton, Ga., Nov. 15.—Whether for
lack of care 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 the history of the
town. Cotton that has been sold weeks
ago Is atilt here In pile waiting to be
shipped.
The railroad platform Is filled to its
utmost capacity und the streets con
tiguous to wareliousea are piled with
cotton waiting to be moved by the
railroad. This cotton has been paid
for and the tanks are clamoring for
bills of lading, which cannot be had,
because of the Inability of the railroad
to handle It. The local cotton mllta
maturing orders find It impossible to
get their products shipped.
The Putnam Mills nnd Power Plant,
unable to get cars tn which to ship
goods, recently dumpped a large ship
ment In the depot and 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 to make the trip.
In addition to all this, passenger
trains are late nearly every day, arid
malls very irregular.
•Visiting turfmen to the Putnam
County Fair last week claim they have
made every effort to get their horses
shipped since Saturday last, but cars
cannot be secured.
The horses, for which bills of lading
have been given, are standing In the
railroad yards.
HAPEVILLE ELECTRIC
LIKE IS BEING LAID
On account of the Intention of the
town of Hapevflle to shortly begin
paving Its streets the Georgia Railway
and Klee trie 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 advent 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 Ills
brother, William Campbell.
Three unusual legal questions grew
out of this case, which was tried be
fore Attorney General John C. Hart,
then on the superior court bench. Wil
liam Cumpbell waa shot to death while
plowing In his field. The tragedy oc
curred at a ereek where he started to
turn.
Suspicion was not directed to the
brother at first, but a broken cork
formed the fetter that sent him to the
pen for life. The ijead man 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
hla brother's 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 tho 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 cast It down. The two pieces
fitted perfectly. A motive was found
for the deed tn the fact that William
Campbell held a $10,000 life Insurance
policy, nnd In which J. M. Campbell
would share ns one of the heirs. He
was convicted on this evidence and sent
up for life. He Is now on the state
farm near Mllledgevllle.
Mother Offered Reward.
Prior to the time this chain Was
forged about J, M. Campbell the mother
of the two had offered a reward of
$500 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 aon waa the guilty
party.
Judge Hart ruled against her, and she
had to pay the reward—an instance be
lieved to be without parallel. Then tbs
insurance company restated payment
of the policy on the ground that J. M.
Campbell had committed the crime ami
had no right to participate In the
money.
Judge Hart ruled that this was not
mutter with which the Insurance
company hud concern, but was a mat
ter for adjustment among William
Campbell's heirs. The company bad
to pay the $10,000. The commission
has taken the petition for commutation
of sentence under advisement.
