Atlanta, March 2C.Ner. Homer, iu
Banks eounty, I. F. Willi!, s khioii
last week by his daughter, Luuau, and
his wife.
The news of the traced r d: :l not ler.k
out for several days, when a sou, i-'rr:i-eis,
11 years old, told it to sonij neigh
bors. Daughter and mother were both ar
rested, taken to Homer and iven
preliminary trial.
The boy testified that his father
came from work about dark and, et
tin' his bottle of whisky upon the cup
board, called for his supper. After b:-g-inning-
to eat his moal a ditticuity
arose between the father and mother,
but the former sat down on a chair be
fore the tire, when Lillian, the jrri
about 15 years old, struck him with
the ax, cutting1 a g-ash in hw skull.
Hising'tip and screaming-, Willis threw
back his head and the mother took the
i7L from the girl and cut him across the
throat with it.
The deed was done, and in a very
short time Willis died. The girl say
shy struck the blow with the ax after
having- cut her father's throat with a
razor, while Willis was choking" her
mother to death. After drawing the
razor across the throat of her father
and seeing that he was not detd, she
picked up the ax and finished him.
Her plea was that she did the deed to
save her mother's life.
Judge J. B. Estc-a, of Gainesville,
and Hubert Estas, of Macon, were ap
pointed to defend Mrs. Willis and tne
yirl. II. 1?. Russell, the solicitor gen
eral, represented the sta.te. The crowd
remained anxiously awaiting- tho ver
dict of the jury until late Saturday af
ternoon, when the jury rendered a ver
dict turning the girl loose. The ver
dict was mot with demonstrations of
applause by those in the court room.
The parties are all white.

Wasiiixotox, March 24. Tha situa

strong feature of novelty in the fact
that it appears to be the scene of a
bloodless battle just now between tho
congressmen on the one hand, tho
large majority of whom are urging
signing of the seigniorage bill, and the
crest commercial interests of the coun
try on the other, for twenty-nine out of
every thirty of the communications
coming from them pray for the veto of
the bill. The congressmen hare tho
advantage of personal pressure on ihV
field, but the other side is evidently in
grat force in the enormous number of
letters that burden the presidential
mail and of telegrams that come bo nu
merously as to keep the wires hot and
the White House operator occupied to
his full capacity. These communica
tions by mail and wire are coming
from all parts of the country ad aro
