Depositors of the Gate „ City „ Bank at i
AtlantaMade Happy. j
The Gate City National bank at At
lanta began paying its depositors
Thursday morning over the counters of
the Atlanta National. During the day
fully one hundred and sixty-five thou- j
sand dollars were paid out. The crowd j
was large but very orderly, and many
of the checks were given in the pay
inept of ordinary accounts by tho de
positors and were not for tho purpose
of checking out the entire balance.
The people throughout the city re
gard tho outflow of cash from tho long
closed bank as a herald of good times.
It is having a fine effect on business.

JULIA FORCE NOT GUILTY.
Her Trial in Atlanta tor the Murder of
Her Two Sisters.
Under a Previous Judgment She Will
Now be Seut to the Asylum.
Tho trial of tho state against Miss
Julia Force, charged with tho murder
of her sudors, Misses Minnie and
Florence Force, was begun in Atlanta
Monday morning.
MisH Julia Force is resting under
two indictments for murder, ln one
indictment she is charged with the
murder of her sister. Miss Minnie
Force, and in the second she is charged
with the murder of her second sister,
Miss Florence Force.
Just why this was done is not stated,
but Miss .Julia Force was put on trial
in the case of the stato against herself,
charged with the murder of Miss Min
nie Force. Should Miss Forco be
fouud guilty of murder—although it
iH hardly probable—Solicitor Hill lias
as yet not determined whether or not
ho will put her on trial for tho second
murder.
TUB FATAL SHOTS.
Mitm Forco’scrime is too woll known
to need any dwelling upon, and the
sad story but brings up sad memories
of un insane woman’s terrible) and
blood-thirsty deed. Tho double mur
der occurred on Huturday, February
25th, just at tho very time when the
city was wild over a bank defalcation
and a couple of suicides. From tho
statements mudo by Miss Forco horself
tho murder was a deliberate one,
which was well planned and faith
fully executed. Tho mother was ab
sent from home; tho two servants wore
dispatchod on errands, and tho way
wns clear for tlio horrible deed that
was to follow. MisH Minnie Forco was
shot down first, tho room was locked,
and the fully aroused murderess then
turned her attention to her invalid
sister, who was in the room upstairs.
Who ontorod tho room with tho pistol
beneath her apron, and tho note from
High k Co. iu tho other hand, and
with but ono word shot her down from
behind.
.Since slio has boon in jail, accord
ing to tho testimony of ono of tho
witnesses, she has professed sorrow at
having done what she did, but despair
ingly declares that she doesn’t see how
she will be forgiven. The testimony
in tho case elicited at Monday morn
ing’s trial tended to show, without tho
shadow of a doubt, that Miss Force
is, and \4ns, a monomaniac of tho
worst type. Ii^ tho testimony
was unfolded tho story of a good
church woman, an earnest worker iu
tho cause of tho Lord—in fact, a wo
man who was recommended by one
bishop to another us tho very person
to help on tho good work—who sud
denly developed into one who did not
hesitate to use profane language.
From a woman of fastidious tastes and
holy purpose, Miss Force’s fliouomaniu
drew her into a path which she had
never known boforo.

The state made out its case fairly
strong on tho small amount of testi
mony that could bo had, and nearly
every witness on a close cross-exami
nation by the attorneys for the defense,
ended by virtually becoming a witness
for tho defense.
Every witness for tho defense swore
that since Novuinber there had been
a change iu Miss Julia’s ways, and
that she was evidently losing her

this crime even more enormous than
that. At the reference to the prison
