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.

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.
