THE GRAND JURY's WORK.
Half @ Dozen Indictments Returned at
Yesterdays Session.

Yesterdays Session.
The city court grand jury met yesterday
and returned half dozen or more indict-
meDts.
Frank Murphy, the Western Union tele-
graph messenger, who tried to shoot another
messenger in Justice Naughtin's Office,
where he was taken after having
been arrested several weeks ago
for receiving stolen goods, was
indicted for misdemeanor in pointing
pistol at Detective Wetherhorn, and also
for receiving stolen goods. Landrum Cox
was partner of Murphy, and was also
indicted for receiving stolen goods. The
circumstances which led to Murphy's ar
rest and his indictment were fully
written up in the MORNING NEWS
Detective Wetherhorn had been spotting
Murphy as a receiver of stolen goods from
Almy Marines, porter at Falk q Sons.
Marino admitted having stolen the goods,
and said that he was put up to the job by
Murphy and one of Murphy's companions
Murphy was arrested one night at the West
ern Union Telegraph office, but managed to
make way with revolver, which he
had in his pocket, before he got
recovered and was taken with him TO JUS
tice Naughtin's office. While there Murphy
inquired who had said that he had been re-
ceiving stolen goods, and Detective Wether-
horn told him that a companion named
Williams wss the party. Murphy asked to
see Williams and as Williams was brought
into the room, Murphy seized
the revolver, from where it was lying on a
table, and, handcuffed as he was pointed it
at the detective and Williams. Mr..
Wetherhorn stood in front of Williams and
seized the pistol, just as Murphy was about
to fire. Murphy said then that he wished
he had killed Williams and the officer, too.
Frank Brown was indicted for asSaulting
and beating his wife, Lizzie Brown.
Charles King was indicted for carrying
concealed weapons and pointing pistol at
Jacob Lutz
Several cases were considered in which
no indictments were found. The grand

In AND ABOUT THE CITY.
A TATTNALL BOY GOES FREE.
Chief Green in the Role of Detective
Takes His Cue from Hat

Chief Green in the Role of a Detective
Takes His Cue from Hat.
II. H. Surrency was acquitted in the city
court last night on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons. The only witness the
state produced was Chief Of Police
Green, who testified that he arrested
the defendant on the night of Oct. 10, 1888,
at 1890 O'Clock from his wife's description
of hat worn by a man who had stopped at
Chief Green's house and had been disorderly.
1t appeared from the evidence Of the de-
fense that the lady had failed to identify
Surrency as the disturber, whereupon the
charge of carrying a concealed weapon was
put against Surrency, Chief Green having
found pistol rolled up in a handkerchief
IN the prisoners coat pocket. The evidence
went to show that the coat pocket
was not deep enough to hide the weapon.
The jury wasn't out ten minutes when it
came in with a verdict of acquittal.
Young Surrency Is from Tattnall county,
and had brought cattle and cotton to the
city Having been robbed once on the
three days drive to Savannah, he bought
the pistol, but when be reached the city on
his next visit he wrapped it up in his hand
kerchief, and carried it in the shallow
pocket of little sack coat he wore SO he
would not get into trouble about it. He
came uOWn from laUbnau county 10 sCanQ
trial, and the jury was impressed with his
frank statement, which was corroborated
by Mr.. Barber, who accompanied him on
the trip. Barber's answers were refresh
ingly frank, and often convulsed court, bar
and jury.
Mr.. Barber was asked by counsel if Tatt-
nall is a 'wetn or "dry" county, and he inuo-
Gently remarked that there is a right
peart lot of low land in TattnalL"
The counsel having recovered from the
character of the answer put it in another
way: is it not against the law to sell liquor
thereP to which the witness gave an an-
swer that created greater merrinent than
his former reply, as he said, well, you
might say it is agin the law, but you kin
git it, sometimes. He was positive that
Surrency 'toted the pistol whar any
one could have saw 1t X
was light enough, but it was
powerful dark where the man sarohed for
the pistol" The evidence of the two un-
sophisticated young men from Tattnall was
too much for Chief Green TO overcome,
although he was recalled He did not ap-
pear to take kindly to the cross examina-
and the court had to caution him that he
must answer the interrogatories Of Mr..
Morgan, the prisoners counsel.

The statement has been going the rounds
of late that the Richmond Terminal Com
pany Will soon announce that it has secured
control of the Chattanooga, Rome and Co
lumbus railroad, and all Of that company's
franchises, including the right granted to
build to Columbus, Ga. The Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus owns 140 miles of road,
upon which it has issued 81, SOC, 900 of capi-
tai stock, 81, ,000, 900 of first mortgage per
cent. bonds, and 81, 400, 900 psr cent nom
cumulative income bonds, and might be
used to advantage by the Terminal COM
pany; but prominent official of the latter
in New York, is quoted by the Commercial
Bulletin as stating positively, that there is
no foundation for the current story. The
rumors he says probably arose from the
fact that the house which represents the
Chattanooga road here has been among the
heavier buyers of Terminal common since
the resignation of Mr.. Sully from the pres
idency.
The new collateral trust bonds of the
Richmond Terminal Company, recently
sold to a syndicate, have been engraved,
and are now being signed. They will prob
ably be offered for public subscription in
about six weeks.

HOW MRS. SMITH LOST A MULE.
After Profitable Trading Her Husband
Closes Out Old Stock.


Joseph Smith figured in Justice Endres'
court yesterday as a dashing trader. The
facts came out in a suit instituted by his
wife, Adaline NJ. Smith, against Joseph
Collins, on a dispossessory warrant for the
recovery Of a mule which Smith traded to
Collins. but after hearing the testimony
Justice Endres returned the mule TO Col
Inns
1t appears that Smith started out with a
good mule, wagon aud harness. He traded
wagons and got $50 to boot; he traded the
wagon for a buggy and got $40 to
boot; then he traded harness and
got s. in the trade. The next
morning he started out agaia on ade
and swapped mules with Joseph Collins,
getting $40 to boot, and with an inferior
mule, an old buggy and harness TO match
he closed out stock, selling the three for
500 He was $65 ahead, but was without
vehicular facilities, so 20 speak, and this is
what led to the litigation; but as Mrs.
Smith admitted that he had made former
trades which she had not objected to- and
only instituted proceed ,ngs against Collins
when she found that her husband hadn't the
$65 to pony up, the justice considered Smith
as her agent and Collins title good.

More Apparatus to Equip the Fire
Departrn ent

Alderman Reid was asked yesterday what
effect he thinks the agitation for the pur-
chase of two new fire engines will have on
the recommendation Of the fire committee
for the purchase of the Hayes truck and
aerial ladder. He thinks it ought to have
no unfavorable effect. The city, he saws
needs the truck and it needs the two engines,
and the equipments ought to be purchased 4.
If they are not, he thinks it will cost the
people as much or more in advanced rates
for insurance, aud failure to give the fire
department the proper equipments because
it will cost something is false economy, and
ought not to be encouraged.
