The Mayor Sustained In the Wilkins
Sunday Liquor Selling Case.
A meeting of the city council was held last
night to hear the appeal from the mayors
decision made by Paul wilkins, whose place
Is on the southwest corner of Huntingdon
and Mercer streets. and who was fined 800
In the police court last September for sell
ing whisky on Sunday.
Wilkins was defended by Davis Free
man, Esq. his counsel, Mr.. Osborne, being
out Of the city, and the first witness intro
duced was I. W. Turner, who, at the time,
was employed as a detective in such cases
Turner stated thai he went to Wilkins
place on Sunday, Sept 25, and bought a
small flask Of whisky, for which he paid
10 cents. He said that he bought
this whisky from the barroom, and that
two days later be was offered $25 by Will
kinsl to leave the city, so that he could not
testify against him. On the advice of OFF,
Ger Bossen he concluded to accept the
money, but when he went for 10 Wilkins
had reconsdered.
Officer Bossell testified that he advised
wilkins to take the money and bring 1t to
him to use as evidence in the case
wilkins then made his statement, saying
that on Sunday, Sept %, Turner came to
his place complaining of being sick, and
asked for whisky. He gave him the whisky,
he says from his sideboard, and did not
enter the bar at all. and Furthermore, he
stated he did not receive any
money for it. lie said that his
bar was locked all day Sunday, and
that he asked Turner a day or two later
| why,h he had put his name on the docket for
Sunday liquor selling, and Turner told him
that he wanted money with which TO leave
! town. The bottle was passed around among
the aldermen, each one smelling it in turn
to find out if it was the genuine stuff. It
seems that 1t turned out to be such
Mrs. Breiten who lives in the house next
! to the bar, and where Wilkins also lives
testified that she saw Wilkins give Turner
che whisky from her sideboard and that no
money was paid in her presence; that she
was in the room during the entire transac-
| ton, an d that liquor was always kept there
on the sideboard; that Turner was given
| the whisky on the statement that he
was sick, aud that the bar had not been
! opened.
| Another witness testified that he was a
neighbor OF Wilkins, and had tried to pur-
chase liquor from him on Sunday, but had
failed in every attempt. Mr.. Freeman
submitted the matter to the council stating
that 1t was only a question of whether the
uncorroborated testimony of Turner should
be believed, or that of the several other wit
nesses, and also bringing into question Tur-
ner's motives and character in making the
| statements he did. This concluded the ar
| gument In the case and it was moved to
sustain the decision of the mayor The
motion was unanimously adopted Aldermen
| Dixon, Bohan, Screven, Myers, Mills, Cam,
Haines Mcmillan, O'Brien and Wells voting,
! Wilkins is now under bond and will prob

COMES Up TO-DAY.

Motion to Confirm the appointment
Of Is Receiver for the Port Royal
Capt. H. c. Cunningham, counsel for the
Central railroad, left yesterday noon for
Charleston, where he goes to meet Mr..
Joseph Gsnahl and other attorneys. who will
argue in behalf of the Central before Judge
Simonton Of the United States district
court against the confirmation of the ap-
pointment Of J. h. Averill as receiver of the
Port Royal aud Augusta railroad.
The case, which comes up to-day, is a
motion % confirm the appointment which
was made by Judge Aldrich OF Mr.. Averill
as receiver of the Port Royal road.
"The road, together with the other Gems
tral properties" said Mr.. A. r. Lawton
Jr. yesterday, is in the hands of the
United states court, and in order to take
charge a receiver must get his authority
from that court. II Judge Simonton re-
fuses TO confirm the appointment of Averill
he will be receiver without a road, a num-
Der of which cases we have throughout the
Central properties.
Judge Aldrich denies the jurisdiction of
the United States court in the matter, but
If Judge Simonton rules that it is a matter
with which his court has to deal, and the
property is now in the hands of the United
States court, of course his decision will set
tie the matter.
1--WE have not yet received the text of
Judge Aldrioh's decision, and am not posi-
tive, therefore, what course will be pur-
sued In the matter of the Centrars controll-
| ing interest in the road. The ATTORNEYS are
now in Augusta, and will consult there as
| to what action to take. l think the case
will be appealed to the South Carolina su-
| prone court.
In the case OF this motion before Judge
| Simonton, however, am inclined to think
his decision will be final, and do not think
| in such a case Averill could carry the case
to the United States court Of appeals, whict
only deals with final decisions, injunotions
and matters of a like nature"

STABBED ON HIS CAR.
a Boys Murderous Assault on a Coast
Line Motorman.

Boys Murderous Assault on a Coast
Line Motorman.
Motorman L. Mckay of car No 10, of the
Broughton street line, was stabbed in the
left side by J. Mel. Baker, boy about l6
years old, while on his car at West Broad
and Broughton streets shortly before 10
O'Clock last night.
The wound is painful and bled profuselv
for some moments, but is hardly likely to
cause more than temporary Inconvenience.
The assault was seemingly entirely unpro-
voked. Baker and three or four other boys
threw off the trolley just as the car was
starting, and Conductor Mitchell left
the car and spoke angrily TO them.
AS soon as the car started
Baker jumped on the front
platform and jabbed a sharp ink eraser
into the motormsns side, cutting through
his clothing and about half inch deep in
the flesh.
When the oar reached O'Keeffe's drug
store the motorman had his wound attended
to and an officer was told Of the assault
Baker was captured soon afterward and
was locked up at the barracks for assault
with intent to murder.

the judges charge Harris coOlly chewed a

killing by Harris was a prosecution begun
in Justice Nsughtin's court by the dead

THE GALLONS OR MINES.
AMBROSE HARRIS CASE NOW
WITH THE JURY.

The Trial in Progress Until l O'clock
This MorninR-A Plea of Justif1ca-
ton Urged by the Prisoner, But the
State Makes Out a Strong Case for
Conviction-A Claim That Harris
Killed Broushton to shut His Mouth
as a Witness-Crowds Attracted by
the Trial.
The fate Of Ambrose Harris, the policy
shop dealer, who shot Rogers Broughton to
death in front of Strauss pawnshop Jan.
20. is now resting in the hands OF twelve
iurymen in the third story of the court
house.
Whether they will send him to the coal
mines or consigu him TO an ignominious
death on the gallows for his crime is mat
ter entirely of conjecture, but everybody
who listened TO the trial acknowledges that
the state made out a remarkably strong
case against the prisoner A conviction is
expected.
The jury did not get the case until l
O'Clock this morning. Harris set up
the plea Of justification, but despite
the able work of his counsel it did not ma
terialize nearly as strong as Harris friends
had hoped for.
THA CROWD AT THE TRIAL.
Harris has been political leader among
the colored people here for years. and his
trial for life for killing as equally we'll
known political woTke as Rogers Brough-
ton, attracted a great crowd OF spectators
20 the court room.
The gallery was solid jam Of black faces
from the time the case ope ed until it
OIL nf ramAln01
there during the adjournment for dinner
and supper fearful that if they left
they would not be able to get
back There was much larger
gathering of white people than is often seen
at the murder trial OF a colored ma.
Every seat inside and outside the bar was
occupied and there was but little standing
room TO spare.
HARRIS GOODNESS.
Harris was one Of the coolest men that
has ever faced jury here on such seri-
Gus charge. He walked into the court
room at the call Of his case as if he was
going to a pleasant entertainment rather
than to have his life put in jeopardy. He
nodded and smiled at bis numerous acqua1nt-
ances in the crowd and then nonchA tantly
took his seat and chatted with
his attorneys, Judge D. A. O'Byrne, Hon.
W. w. Osborne and William Z. Morrison,
ESQ.,, while Solicitor General Fraser was
arranging the preliminarles for his arra1gn-
ment.
Harris pleaded mot guilty" in a clear
voice, and then the work of securing a jury
was begun. This occupied the time until 2
o'clock. Fifty-seven men we're put through
the tests before twelve we're finally secured.
Eleven went off for cause and both the
state and the defense exhausted their
strikes.
