A similar message was i the attorneys of Alt Moore at Valdos ta, who filed the petition for comtnuti tlon Saturday, "Ivcould see no further reason for interaference with the matter," was the governor’s only comment.. According to advices from Savanna '• Attorney Cooper haa ordered a physi cian from that place to proceed to Valdosta and examine old man R»» ‘ llns as to his sanity.
