ROSWELL, November I'd, 1901.
John p Hogg, Esq:
DEAR sIR-I see by the Savannah papers
that you are engaged in Survey for the
drainage of the city. Your courtesy to me
when | had q little business In your office
makes me feel that you will receive kindly
few suggestions l wish to make. The
sewage of cities has been In Europe an OBJ
ject of attention and Of great value for
agriculture, giving astonishing return for
the outlay.
II the sewage of Savannah could be
turned on the swamps in regulated man
ner the whole expense might be refunded.
My suggestion is that you should run an
experimental grade for the sewers at as
high level as the proper flow of the sewage
will allow, that you might find what, II any,
amount of land could be irrigated by 1t.
If you think the matter worthy of atten-
ton, ! will be pleased to describe my views
more fully. Yours truly, A. s.

MR.. PITTMAN's STATEMENT.

/ was taller of Glynn county and Deputy
Sheriff; one Jack Wilson, charged with the
offense Of burglary, was put in my custody
as jailer Of Glynn county, on the 18th day
Of August, 1879; he made his escape In Sep
TENDER or October; he was recaptured,
tried and convicted for the offence of bur
glary In the night time; he worked about
two months and then made his escape;
about three or four weeks afterwards l en-
ployed one Daniel Gay to trap him for me;
Dan trailed him, but when In about two or
three hundred yards he got away; after he
made his escape from Gay he then commit
ted another robbery on Mr.. Tyson, and
also robbed a Mr.. James Wright; for his
apprehension a reward OF $3.50 was offered
by those two gentlemen; about four months
ago the Sheriff was bringing Jack Wilson
and Thompson to Chatham county jail; at
Jesup they tried to get away; the Sheriff
SHOT Thompson and killed him; Wilson
succeeded in getting away with three hand
cuffs on him, he subsequently went back to
Glynn county, and sent word to Tyson
that he intended to burn his store;
Mr.. Tyson being a very old man became
alarmed; got posse and made search for
him; he then left the county; then heard
that he was at No. l, in Chatham county;
| moved to Savannah about three weeks
ago; one afternoon, whilst at the cemetery,
l met Daniel Gay; he said to me "Mr. Pitt
man, know where Jack Wilson is, but 1t
will cost something to get him." told him
that l would write to Sheriff Hamburg and
see what reward could get him to pay for
the expenses of his capture; the Sheriff no
titled me that there was a reward of $50;
Daniel Gay came to my house Monday
night he informed me that he was talking
to Jack Wilson that day, he told me that
Jack Wilson would be at his house at Bell
mont, next day at IL O'Clock, as he expect
ed to leave for Jesup in the afternoon;
went to Mr.. strickland's house, to get him
to go with me; not being able to find him,
then tried to find Mr.. Barthelmess; made
my arrangements and went out there; then
sent the three men in to try to sur
prise and capture him. and to call
for me; | then heard a scuffling,
and the call for me; ran and got to the
house as quick as possible; when entered
the house, heard Jack Wilson call to his
wife for his shotgun; he had In his hand a
pistol; looked like an old style Smith Il
Wesson pistol; about that time heard the
report of pistol, l was talking to his wife;
then saw Gay run out of the door; Bing
had pistol in his hand, which took from
him and put in my pocket, remarking to
him that we did not want to hurt Wilson II
