Lsmuel DAVIS Case Before the SUI
perior Court Grand Jury.
The killing of William M. Rawls by
Lemuel Davis was investigated by the
grand jury of the superior court yester-
day afternoon. Among the witnesses ex-
amined were j. w. Nickel, DR.. R. G.
Norton, John Goodman J. f. Rawls,
William Ready and Tom Grill.
DR.. Norton testified as to the nature of
the wounds and the post-mortem examin-
alton that was made. The jury found a
true bill against Davis for murder
The fact that an operation was per-
formed on Mr.. Rawls Sunday, and that
he died some hours afterwards, may lead
to an argument of the question as to
whether the death was the proximate re-
suit Of the pistol shot wound or the oper-
alton.
The funeral of the late Mr.. Rawls,
which took place at Guyton yesterday
afternoon, was largely attended. A num-
Der OF friends of the deceased went up
from Savannah to be present at the
funeral

PELIoANs IN FINE PLUME.

Nashville Beaten in q Well Played
Game Before 700 Spectators.
New Orleans, April 1.-THE second
game between New Orleans and Nashville
was played to-day before about 700 people.
The game was interesting and well
played, and New Orleans won by better
general team work, base stealing and op-
perfume hitting. "Silver" Braun was in
for the locals and Lookabaugh for the
visitors, each team making the same num-
Der of hits, but Braun was successful
in keeping these necessary requisites
scattered, while Lookabaugh was very
wild and was hit for several earned runs.
The honors in the field were easy, both
teams doing excellent work. Probably
Flood, OF the locals, did the prettiest
work, making several difficult catches,
and in one instance threw a man out at
first on a base hit, which resulted in
double play. Roat, of the locals, was too
stituted. Phelan played an excellent
game. The score by innings follows:
New Orleans, ......111ooo12o-s 8 5 = 4
Nashville. 49,. % 0 1905 s 5
