MORE LIGHT
THAT IS WHAT THE COUNCIL
DESIRES THROWN UPON
I
THE DEAX-LOWE EPISODE.
Council Orders Cases Made
Against .Every Man in
Dean's Room at the
Time of the Diffi
culty.
ORDINARY 8 COURT.
Tbilisi became lively around at the
council chamber yesterday afternoon
when Clerk Mitchell read a commu
nication from Col. Isaac Lowe to coun
cil upon the subject of the treatment
received by his son, Mr. Walter H
L twe, a short time Mace.
Col. Lowe went on to say in his com
munication that the next day after the
affair he went to the chief of police and
requested a oaae made against all par
ties concerned and also to the mayor
with the same request, but was tcld the
city had no jurisdiction over the case,
and that in thus being denied justice
by officials, he appealed to council not
in defense of any improprities of his
aon but on account of an outrage that
ahouid not have been overlooked.
Mayor Tuck here stated that he had
not been quoted correctly, that be diu
not tell Colonel Lowe the oity had no
jurisdiction over the case, but that un
der the circumstances he cid refuse to
make oases.
Alderman Vincent moved to make a
case against each and every man who
was present at the time of the difficul
ty and that every one found guiltj
should be bound over to the Superior
court.
This brought the matter to an excit
ing point and everybody was in expeo
tancy of the next movement.
Capt. Davis said that he did not re
ceive the statement from Mr. Waltei
Lowe for several reasons. He said
Lowe came to him stating that be had a
detailed statement of bis affiirs tornak.
and that he (Davis) told him that hi
didn’t care to hear any detailed state
ment from him. He had acted so no
statement from him was wished. Capt
Davis said he was not in sympathy with
the occurrence and had acted as becomt
the chief of police since then in every
thing pertaining to the case.
Alderman Vincent resumed here and
said that reports had gone abroad con
cerning this transaction, and tbat the
whole matter should be investigated
He asked and insisted that light be
thrown on the whole matter, and that
everyone be made known that in all
ench sllairs Athens gives fair play to
all.
Alderman Smith seconded Alder
man Vincent’s motion in regard to
makiDg cases against all who were in
Maj. Dean’s room that night, and tb<
motion as originally made was carried
Alderman Vincent was explaining bis
part in the matter, when Chief Davis
thought he had referred to him in a
manner in which he should not have
done. He accordingly spoke to Mr.
Vmcent about it, when Mayor Tuck re
minded him that Alderman Vincent
was an fildermfin find hence entitled to
freedom of speech in meeting.
Aldermen Vincent disclaimed any in
tention of coupling Chief Davis wilt,
the affair and then all went smoothly
along again.
TUB CASKS TO BE MADE,
The cases will be made today in all
probability and will be against several
prominent citizens, so it is said.
Council pursued the right oourse. A
great deal of talk has been indulged in
on this subject and charges made against
different parties.
A full investigation cannot injure the
innocent and if any offense has been
done no one oan object to its being un
covered.
The people will watch affsira in may-
or’a court with great interest.

fendant through his attorney, Capt. W,
B. Burnett, announced ready.
The city called ita witnesses, but on
acoount of the absence of Messrs. John
Crawford and L. J. Langley, wished to
. continue the bearing.
Capt. Burnett raised the point that
the police oommittee. having pasted on
the case and made recommendations
tbereod, was disqualified. Majror Tuck
disagreed with him.
Capt. Burnett wished to know if the
committee would be allowed to vote
when they pasted on tbat question
Mayor Tuck thought that they would
Capt. Burnett asked if it* was a re
view, and Ci y Attorney Mell at s vered
no, tbat it waa a new trial altogether.
It was evident that both sides wtr
going to fight the esse to a finish, but
the oity waa not quite ready to proctei
with the ease, so it was pat off until

crowded next Monday to hear this

porch of his home on Clayton street.
Without a moment’s warning be was
stricken down in his last fatal illness,
and inside three-quarters of an hour
was a corpse.
Everything that could be done to re
store him was done, but the aotion of
he heart had received a fatal shock
and the sufferer never rallied from it.
The funeral services were conducted
yesterday afternoon at two o’clock at
Oconee Street church by Rev. S. B
England in a most impressive manner,
and the remains were laid to rest in
Oconee cemetery.
The bereaved relatives have the sym

Salvador’* Prestdeut Will Visit
World’* Fair In July.

eral feeling of rejoicing over the ending
of the revolution and the assumption of

of a class of sixty, representing many
nationalities, twenty-five were per

of the Art League of New York. Tbe
