WANTS EXERCISE.
After the session of the court Justice
Richardson went ground into tine prison.

come time. During their conversation
the accused said that he would have to
be confined in MS cell for two weeks or
more before his trial will come of, and
asked the Justice to try and so arrange
that he might be allowed 10 exercise
himself under guard for two hours
every day. This he desired both for
comfort and health. The Justice Tt
piled thai he had no control over the
matter, but would recommend that such
be done.
City-Sergeant n. N. lee was seen
yesterday afternoon, and being asked If
nc would grant this request, said he
thought not-that this Is a man who
should he closely guarded, and to allow
him this liberty would be dangerous.
lie would be glad to heed any suggestion
OF Justice Richardson's, but did not
think it well TO show Shaw such
leniency. 1t Is sometimes the case that
the jail Is not supplied with as many
guards as would be necessary to allow
prisoners such indulgence.
TIIE CHARGES.
The charges against Shaw are shoot
ing Sergeant Robert j. Brooks with In
tent 10 kill shooting at Sergeant Tom
linson III the public street; breaking
and entering Hermann SchmIdt's store
with intent to commit burglary, anc
having IL MS possession burglars tools.
IL his interview with the newspaper
reporters Friday night Shaw admitted
that he shot brooks and shot al Tom
linson. and acknowledged being
crooked, - but denied ma TIng been IL
any way connected with the Schmidt
burglary.
From what could be learned from the
counsel for the accused yesterday ne
viii not plead guilty to any charge
made against him. lie might plead
guilty 10 felonious but will not u mall
cious shooting. The maximum punish
ment fOr the former is five years in the
penitentiary for the latter II is ten
years.
After the shackles were removed for
the prisoner to be brought to court he
llmped quite badly and moved apparent
iy with pain.
THE TOOLS IDENTIFIED.
When Mr.. schmidt's store was open

found Oh the floor a small sledge-ham-
nIer. 2 brace. and augeT-bit, and a
chisel. IRON the hole IN the back-dooI
OF the store, through which the
burglar ran MS hand and moved the
bolt. 1t was evident that it was made by
boring holes with the brace-and. and
knocking ont the piece oi pane with the
chisei and hammer.
On the same night that the burglary
was committed Quarles's blacksmith
shop. on Union street between Graco
and Franklin, was broken into, and tine
tools above enumerated were found to
be missing when the shop was opened
next morning. QuaTles was al the Pc-
lice Court yesterday morning and Iden-
tilted the tools found IL schmIdt's store
as those taken from MS shop. One
particular mark OF identity wa
that q part OF the hammer han
die was sawed of and the
piece left IL the shop exactly fitted that
now IT the hammer. The handle seem
ed to have been sawed or cut Of by
some inexperienced hand. as il was
roughly done and cut part Of the way
from one side and part from the other,
and the points failed to bit ny about .
quarter Of al inch Or more.
THE sHACKLEs.
Dr. Beale, the physician to the jail.
and Dr y. G.. Cabel., who Is assisting
hin IT mis- work, will no doubt be ap-
piled to when they visit the prison tins
morning 10 pass their opinion upon the
question whether the shackles or the
prisoners legs are Inficting the cruelty
and injuries complained OF by Shaw
IL q somewhat similar case some time
ago Dr. Beale pronounced against the
use OF shackles but circumstances alter
cases, and what Dr. Beale will nov
recommend car only be determined after
be sees the mar and the effect OF the
irons upon MS ankles.
NOT ANXIOUS TO TALK NOW.
Three members Of the press visited
the burglar bold ID MS prison-cell a.
the Jail yesterday afternoon and en-
deavored 10 elicit MS views on the stu
alton. He manifested little disposition to
talk, and was evidently under advice Of
endeavoIing to maintain q
inactivity a. to the use Of hi
tongue. He seemed disposed TO complain
Of the newspapers for quoting MN
as saying that for twelve months
past MS life had been crooked" He |
now finds that that admission will be
very damaging. That ne dad say il |
can be easily proved by half a dozen
and dozen other weli-known /
and equally as reputable citizens. His |
expression was that though he was "a
crook " he was not burglar, and thai
when the men tried to arrest hin a. the
Byrd-street depot ne thought it wa for
