GOVERNOR
BROWN OF GEORGIA
DECLARES CITY OF AUGl’STA
H IN STATE 0f INSUR-
RECTION.
X
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 28.—As the cli-
max to rioting in this city and the
shooting of three citizens late Friday
gi by state troops, Governor Brown late
last night issued a proclamation de-
claring “the city of Augusta to be in
a state of insurrection,’’ and ordering
the immediate enforcement of mar-
tial law.
Adjutant General W'illiam Obear has
been ordered by the governor to pro-
ceed here at once from Atlanta and
assume charge of the situation. An-
other company of militia also was or-
dered here from Waynesboro to re-
inforce the four local companies under
Captain Levy.
Subsequent to a mass meeting here
last night at which resolutions were
adopted asking Governor Brown to
of
dead line about the Fifteenth street
plant of the street railway company
to prevent attack by strikers or sym-
pathizers. The injured are:
Robert Christie, a business man;
shot through the lungs.
Ben F. Baker another business man.
The state troops were called out

were current that the strikers pro-
jposed to dynamite the company's pow-

Striking street car men and sympa-
r.V
thizers were only prevented from at-
tacking the local power plant by im-
passioned pleas of the strike leaders.
At midnight mobs began to dis-
perse. At that hour the officials oi
the railway company maintained their
former position that they had nothing
to arbitrate and would fight the strik-
ers to the end.
Citizens Shot Down.
Alfred Dorn was killed add two
other'ekizena were shot, one probably
fatally, by members of the state mj-
f Htia

night, who
•n
had formed
y
er plant. A dead line was establish-
ed at each end ol the property and
the soldiers were armed with riot
cartridges.
The soldiers were instructed to
challenge anybody attempting to pass
the line and to fire upon them if their
challenge was ignored.
Robert Christie, one of the injured
men, was driving in an automobile
and, it is said, did not hear 'h^ sen-
try's cry. He had gone but a lew feet
when he was shot through the 'ungs.
He was quickly removed to a hospital,
where fee is expected to*die.
Baker and Dorn attempted to drivp
through Fifteenth stret a few minutes
later.. When they were challenged
Baker whipped up his horse and sev-
eral shots were fired at them. Baker
was wounded about th<4 body, but
Dorn was literally shot to pieces.
An unknown white boy on a motor-
cycle was fired upon but escaped un-
injured. Charles Wilson and his wife
and child, in their automobile, also
were fired upon. When he attempted
to reach down to toot the horn the
action brought another volley of bul-
lets but the entire family escaped un-
injured. ’
The outbreak followed the refusal
of the street railway company to arbi-
trate the troubles with the striking

been no evidence introduc'd by the
petitioner to show that since the kil-
ling of Captain Boyce in Fort Worth,
that young Boyce had persisted in his
attentions to Mrs. Sneed or that he
had offered her any insults. Mr. Bish-
op declared that Sneed was not acting
under stress of the greaj— -passion
when hp shot Boyce here, but, on
the other hand, he said Sneed had
laid his plans and that the killing was
preincditatedly accomplished.
Counsel for Sneed replied to these
attacks with counter charges, wbfth
involved the entire web of the Sneed-
Boyce affair. They contended that
the killing or Al Boyce was neither
first or second degree murder, but
manslaughter and as such Sneed was
entitled to bail.
Judge Kimbrough of Amarillo open-
ed the argument for the petitioner in
an address which covered a period
of over two hours. Judge Kimbrough's
address, while technical in the ex-
treme. was so deftly worded as to hold
the closest attention of the spectators
Judge Kimbrough opened his argu-
ment with a discussion of the consti-
tutional right of an accused man to
be granted bail, showing that every
state in the union had thus guarded
the rights of the individual citizen and
emphasizing the fact that prisoners
are bailable as a matter of right ex-
cept for capital offenses where the
proof is evident or the presumption of
fcuilt great. He further argued that
beyond the poiut where the prisoner
is entitled to ball as a matter of right,
jie still is bailable in the discretion of
ihe judge. He made the application of
the law to the prisoner at the bar,
showing that Beal Sneed was entitled
to bail as a matter of constitutional
right unless the proof of his guilt of
a capital offense is evident. He then
proceeded to give authorities showing
that the burden of proof was upon the
Atate to show guilt and stated that the
giade of the offense must be shown
by the state. He then entered into a
niscussion of what constituted evident
proof, making many references to su-
preme court, decisions.
At the close of Judge Kimbrough's
argument a recess of ten minute* was
taken, after which District Attorney
Bishop opened the argument on behalf
of the state. Fallowing the noon re-
cess, District Attorney Bishop spoke
for forty-five minutes for the state.
The greater portion of his lime waa
taken up in defining murder and read-
ing some long extracts from decisions
upon which comment was made. He
argued that In this case the killing
was not in self-defense. He stated
this could not be ir.nrder In the second
degree, that It was either murder in
the first degree or manslaughter. The
speaker made only general reference
to the evidence'in the cas, stating that
it would be reivewed by Senator Odell
He took issue with the defense on
the proposition that adequate cause is
sufficient to reduce to manslaughter
and showed that the previous happen-
ings could as well be used to show
malice on the part of the defendant.
W. B. Scott of Fort Worth, for the
petitioner, next spoke, declaring it to
be the duty of the attorneys to assist
the judge in arriving at a right judg-
ment. He explained that In ancient
times the adulterer was put to death,
while today the law says to the man
who defiles another's home, that he
must take the consequences, and if the
husband, whose wife is defiled, takes
his life such act shall not be a higher
degree of homicide than that of man-
slaughter. He took issue with the
state on the point that the defendant
was guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. He discussed the wide scop<
that must be taken in deciding the
case covering a long period of time,
saying that it must not be confined to
Folk street and to tin week or the two
previous to the homicide, but on the
contrary to all the facts and circum-
stances leading up to the homicide. He
reviewed the circumstances commenc-
ing with the taking of Sneed's wife
from the Fort Worth sanitarium,
Sneed's trip to Canada, the looking
after the welfare of his children, then
the news that the deceased was again
back from Canada and had re-entered
