WHAT THE ATTORNEYS THINK.
Defense Delighted and Mr.. Hoffman
Satisfied.

Mr. Span was asked yesterday afternoon
what he thought OF the verdict, and an
swered: THE verdict Is just what 1 ex-
pected from the start. The attorneys for
the defense had talked with Annie Wag-
ner and went over the case from begin
ming to end with her. 1 fully believed that
a great mistake was being made or there
effort on the part OF somebody else
to cover up their crime. 1 was perfectly
satisfied with the jury. They were reason
able men and way above par in juries.
was pleased with the kind and attentive
manner IN which they listened to every
thing that was said on either side of the
case. The instructions of the court ! think
were fair Those regarding the doctrine
of reasonable doubt and those relating TO
the law of circumstantal evidence were
given just as asked by the counsel foD the
defense"
Mr.. Brown said: After the evidence for
the defense was all in L was fully salts
fed that Annie Wagner would be acquit-
ted. The State started out with a bad
case and has made the best of it. There
was no conviction to be seen in the case
after the evidence for the defense was in."
Mr.. Hoffman said: 81 am satisfied with
the verdict. L was convinced that the State
was playing against great odds, not the
least of which was popular opiniC1
Mr.. Duncan was asked for an expression
upon the verdict, but declined to speak

She Should Have Been Convicted.
Charles Koesters was seen at his resi-

reporter entered the store room which has
become prominent account of this
trial ne found Mr.. Koesters seated at
desk in the rear of the room busy adding
up some columns OF figures.
What 90 you think OF the verdict, Mr..
Koesters?" was asked him.

help it,"
do YOU wish to say anything about the
veridct?'
"Well. think If you got to see a person
put the stuff in and give 1t TO people then
you can't have any convictions"
MIR. KOesterS then argued that the weight
of the evidence was sufficient to warrant
the jury in q verdict Of guilty and said he
thought Annie Wagner should have been
convicted. He became very much affected

Annie Wagner Congratulated by Her
Friends-Has Nothing to Say.

During the afternoon a reporter called at
the Bergman residence and asked Annie
Wagner if she had anything to say about
the verdict. She refused to talk at all. She
said enough had been said about her in the
papers and she did not like to talk to the
reporters. Mr.. Bergman said he would not
permit her 10 leave his house before spring
and II was yet early to begin talking about
what she would do after that time
When the reporter reached the house yes
terday afternoon he found Annie Wagner
wreatbed in smiles and happy a child
upon the first visit of Santa Claus. The
room was full of women, her friends, who
had come to congratulate her and give their
expressions of confidence and mistaken
faith in her. a number of them left with
her their pictures. They were not all from
the neghborhood in which she resided. One
woman said she had walked down from the
northeastern part of the city expressly to
tell the girl that she had never beloved her

were then voting for acquittal The other
two were firm in their convictions and re-

the hour when il was announced that
a verdict had been reached. In all just thir-
teen ballots had been taken. The unlucky

afterward going to Mobile, where he
played with Kelly's aggregation. Mont
gomery, however, objected to Mobile
signing these men, and the games in
which they participated were protested
and Mobile had to let them go.
George has played in some of the strong
est teams in the country. He was with
the New York National League team for
several years He afterward played in
the Western League, and last year he was
in the Pacific Northwest League. George
is hard hitter, a fine fielder, and a good
base runner. He will greatly strengthen
Savannah, both in the field and at the bat
The signing of George does not signify
that Manning intends releasing anybody.
He has been in need of a right-fielder and
George was the best available man. He
will receive hearty welcome when he
appears in the game next Tuesday, ana
will soon make a host of friends by his
good work with the willow and in the out
field.

THE GENERALS DEFEATED.
Guyton's Club Takes the Locals Into
Camp by Score of IL to 8.

Two hundred and fifty people, the ma
jority of them employees of the Central
railroad, saw the Guyton base ball team
defeat the Centrals yesterday afternoon
at the Bolton street park by score of
IL to 8. If the error column could be
wiped out nobody would be able to dis
tinguish the game by the record from a
professional event
Krenson pitched great ball for the Cen
trails, and if the felders had
supported him properly the light side of
the score would have been in favor of
Guyton. Beand, at third for the Cen
trails, distinguished himself by trying to
make all the errors for his team, and
every error was at a critical point and
cost run or two.
Neidlinger was strong In the box for
-Guyton. The principal feature of the
visiting team was Cubbedge at short.
The feature was his absolute inability to
cover the position. Every ball dropped
IN ms territory was as good as a safe hit,
Tor IN each instance Cubbedge would
either turn a Somersault in irving to get
1t or have a juggling match with the
leather. A base ball is evidently too small
for Cubbedge to play with. He should
be given practice either with a
foot ball or base ball box. What he
lacks of knowledge of the game. how
ever, he makes up in kicking He has a
voice like fog horn and used it for kick
ing purposes from the beginning to the
end, first at the Centrals, then at the
umpire and finally at his own club The
kicks, though, were not of the style that
disgusts audiences, and everybody enioyed
them. Cubbedge only made six errors.
Outten, the Central's catcher, had his
finger broken in the eight inning, and was
relieved by Ferguson. The accident was
regretted by the audience, which had
found occasion several times during the
game to applaud Outten's fine work as
back-stop. H
