Reme, Ga., Jan. 26.—The jury which heard the evidence in the murder trial of Joe August, charged with the murder of his wife and her alleged paramour by striking them with an axe was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. The jury brought in its verdict this afternoon in the Superior court. August had pleaded the "unwritten law." Judge Wright has not yet pronounced sentences. Without the slightest emotion, but with marked complacency, Joe August related this morning to the jury the details of one of the most ghastly tragedies ever enacted in Floyd county, and in which he played the leading role. August was placed on trial for the murder of his wife, Rosa August, on the night of last December. He also killed his wife's paramour, Frank Townsend. The weapon used was a double-bladed axe.
Solicitor General Porter (white), who vigorously prosecuted the case, sought to show that August laid a trap for his foulish wife, and that the double murder of his wife, the money W.B. Mebane, representing the defense, was a strong light for his client, claiming that he was justified in defending the sanctity of his home. There was no evidence introduced for the defense. August making his statement of the butchery in that he had inflicted manner. He stated that he had inflicted manner and when he saw Townsend enter his home he attempted to enter the house and found the front and rear doors locked. He secured an axe and climbed the window. When he entered the adjoining house, the wife and Townsend were he struck the man and Townsend blow on the head, splitting it open. The same blow struck the woman across the face producing a fatal wound.
MOZEE GIVEN SURPRISE
Dr. Theodore E. Mozee, 5131 Wabash avenue, was the recipient of an expected welcome when he arrived home last Friday evening and found a house full of his gentlemen friends awaiting him. The stag, which had been arranged by Mrs. Mozee as a birthday surprise for her husband, was thoroughly enjoyable from every viewpoint. Among those present were Messrs. William Sobera, David Manson, Charles Myers, Drs. Paul Crosswaithe, Midian Bousefield, Ned Chestnut, Frederick Pratt, Hale Parker, Messrs. Julius Avendorph, George Walker, John Anter, Charles Duke, Julian Lewis "and Claude Atkinson." Toastmaster Julius Avendorph savely guided the festivities until the "wee sma' hours," when the party sat down to a table loaded with good things. By this time the hilarity had grown so general that further guidance was useless, and with He's a Jolly Good Fellow," the sentiment of all the party broke up, voting to remember forever Dr. Mozee's "umsteenth" birthday.
