been solved and in a way that is likely to
give David much trouble. Draughn was
several weeks ago dragged from the rail-
road tracks in the south end of the city
just in time to save him from being
- mangled. It was then discovered that
he had been besten almost to death. He
was carried to the Grady hospital, and
when he recovered physically it was
found that his mind was a perfect blank
- as to past evente—so much so that he
even did not know his own name.
_ ‘Finally under the care of the surgeons
there came back inklings of the past, and
one day last week he electrified every-
body about the hospital by rushing about
and declaring he “had it.” He had caught
what he said was his last name. Ho was
taken by detectives up into North Caro
lina, and at Cuiberson, near Morphy, he
found friends, but be was not Dravgho,
at least not thers. Fo had been known
there as Dr. F. U. Henth and bad lived
“there for several months last summer,

Conviction of Voters Who Came From New

Three men were convicted in theconrt
of oyer and terminer on Monday (two of
them pleaded guilty) of the offense of
voting froz. the Tombs in violation of
| section 8 of article 2 of the state ~onsti-

shall be deemed to have gained or lost a
residence by reason of his presence or
absence while in the service of the Unit-
od States, or while kept in any a'ms-
or while confined in any public prison.”
The case of the defendant Cady, who
was found guilty by a jury, was peculiar.
Hs had voluntarily resided for seven
| years, without commitment for any of-
fense, in the Tombs. He had no other
home. He was not qualified to vote from
suy other domicile. He registered and
yoted from the city prison, from which
he readily obtained egress, and he was
tried and convicted. Judge Barrett an-
