A wooLGArHERING CASE.
Complications in the Way of Gettin
Jones Out of Trouble.

Complications in the Way OF Getting
Jones Out of Trouble.
The motion in arrest Of Judgment in the
George Jones case was argued at length in
the city court yesterday afternoon by
Thomas S. Morgan, Jr., representing the
prisoner.
Jones, the colored assaiIant of Mr. and
Mrs. Hollowell, was convicted on two ac-
| cusations, and, after sentence had been
passed in each case, defendants counsel
raised the question that one of the papers
had been filled in after the prisoner pleaded
| to 1t, and moved the court to arrest judg-
ment. Should the court sustain the motion,
then counsel will raise the plea of jeopardy
| and ask the prisoners discharge after he has
| satisfied the sentence on the first accusation.
The court declined to give a decision yes
| terday, but reserved the matter for further
| consideration. He stated, however, that he
was not sure that the motion to arrest iudg-
ment was the proper remedy. Acting
Solicitor General Rockwell argued that
counsel should have demurred in the first
| instance, and not having done so he had
lost his day in court.
That the negro was guilty of a most
aggravated assault upon Hollowell is ad-
| mltted, and the motion to arrest Judgment
| is a lawyers zeal for his client to save him
ITOn puulSnlDenO through q teCnnlcallty,
which Mr. Rockwell characterized as a
bubble.
If the accusation was filled in during the
progress of the trial, and is therefore void
and was in law no accusation, as counsel
for the prisoner argues, there being no ac-
cusation in law, could there have been any
| trial In law, and can counsel plead ieopardyl
No testimony has been Introduced
to show the paper was altered
The acting solicitor general declin-
ing to go on the stand, prisoners
counsel cannot compel him. Can the court
go behind the record. which on its face dis
| closes no such state of alteration as oppos-
ing counsel complains of! These and
other questions enter into the wool
gathering case, and just what
is the proper procedure puzzles the lawyers
MIR. Morgan fears to ask that the Judgment
be set aside on the ground that it will be
granted, and his client forced into second
trial, which cannot but result in conviction,
as his client remembers nothing of what
| occurred on Christmas night, and there are
| at least three witnesses who are prepared to
swear TO his assault upon Hollowell.
Meantime Jones is on the chain-gang for
the assault upon the lady, and as he has
four months to serve it will afford ample
time to straighten out the legal complica-
ton which has arisen in the case.

THE HussARs CONSIDERING.

None of the Armory Sites offered
Have Been Accepted Yet.
The Georgia Hussars' committee ap-
pointed to consider the propositions made
the company to purchase a site for the
armory reported last night.
The option on the Green property was
refused. 1t was expected that this would
be the site decided upon, but after counting
up the cost it was decided that the strain
upon the members would be too great to
keep the armory up. As far as the money
with which TO make the purchase was con-
cerned, it was not question. 1t could have
been raised on the spot, but the question of
keeping theNrmorv up was where the hitch
comes in.
It is not the purpose of the committee
having the matter in charge to settle upon
a site that will tax the members to support.
In addition to the options received yester-
day several more have been received. One
of them is on the Lilienthal prope ty on the
southeast corner of Liberty and Tattnall
streets, for $4,000; the Matthews property
on Jones and Barnard, at $4,000. All the
other propositions which were considered
by the committee yesterday have been
taken in, and the price of the site put at
$4,000. The committee asked for further
time in which to consider the options now
before it.
The building committee will decide be-
fore the 25th whether the bazaar building
will be torn down and the contents sold
The permit by council extends until the
18th, at which time some disposition must
be made. Either the permit viii be ex-
tended or the building will be removed
then.

STEPPED down AND OUT.
The Old Year Makes Room for Young
and Vigorous 1890.

The Old Year Makes Room for Young
and Vigorous 1890.
The old year went out last night when the
midnight bell tolled its requiem, and there
was quiet resting over the city, broken
only by the occasional rumble of vehicle
on the street. Young America was in
doors. cold misting fog lowering about
the city making indoors much more com
Portable than outside
The usual watch services were hsld in
some Of the churches, and many sat up at
home to see the old year 60 out, and IN
many of the houses of the colore1 people,
and especially among those of the Methodist
faith, there were religious services until
aft r midnight.
An occasional barrel was burned in the
early part Of the night in some Of the streets
and squares, and an occasional fire pepper
was heard, but they were few and far
between. The last day Of the old year was
cold and biustery, threatening rain, and
every way uncomfortable. Overcoats were
in demand for the first time during the
month. The retail trade was languishing
and few gifts for New Years were bought
compared with other years.
There are always more or less New Years
gifts bought on the last day of the old year"

presented friend with a Christmas gift,
and the compliment must be returned, SO
New Years affords the apportu mtg, but
there was very little doing in that line to-
day."
To-day being the first day of the new
year, it will be quite generally observed as a
holiday by the closing of the principal
business houses, most of them all day, and
the rest will close in the afternoon. The
county offices city Offices, and government
buildings will be closed. Judge Harden
adjourned the city court over until to-mor-
row morning, and the banks will recognize
the legal holiday, aud close their doors. The
colored people will celebrate it as emanci-
patton day, and the colored troops will
parade this morning.
The city was unusually orderly last night,
and there was nothing on the surface to in
dictate that the old year was stepping down
and out to make room for the young strip
