other day. He had reference to three
aces and two kings, says the Constitu-
ton. "Yes, sir" he resumed, blowing
a great curl of fragrant tobacco smoke

longingly, as though there were a lot
of money going up in it. "Yes, sir, it
takes something good to beat full

of the strangest game of poker that

wealthy old Mississippi planters in the
game. One of them caught just what l

aces and two of the knightliest kings
In the deck. He was dead in it and
sent the bets up right lively, indeed.
After the others had fallen out except
the other rich old planter the man
with the full house became more en-
thusiastic and sent the bet higher and
higher. They put up everything they
had, borrowed all they could get
around the board, and, being hot
headed old sOutherners, still held out
against each other. Their plantations
were decided on condition of the bet
and the deeds sealed in envelopes with
everything else they had on the face of
the earth, and they went home to sleep
over it and decide the next day what
should be done Neither of them was
willing to call and neither would drop
out. So the envelopes were intrusted
to the county clerk for safeleeping I'M

when both of them were dead and the

with his deeds, straight flush, and in
the hand of the other the three aces

Murderer jordan and His Little Son
Laid Near Each Other.

No Inquests Held over Their Bodies
The Coroner Decides There Is No Ne
cessity for a Formal Inquiry into the
Killing-Lizzie Jordan and Her Little
Girl Are Recovering From Their
Wounds.
Coroner Dixon made an investigation
yesterday into the cases Of George Jor-
dan and Edward, his son. both Of whom
died as the result Of shots from the
fathers pistol He secured considerable
evidence, which was much on the line
Of that given in the Morning News. He
decided that it was Unnecessary TO hold any
inquest over the bodies. as the evidence
all pointed conclusively to the fact that
Jordan did the killing. and the slayer him
self being dead there was no reason why
an inquest should be held
The law only requires inquests to be held
in .ase where there is some doubt about
the party committing the crime, and
when there are no eye witnesses to it,
but in this case the facts We're so evil
dent that an inquest could have de-
termined nothing that would have been
of value, especially after the man commit
ting the crime was himself dead.
The little boy, Edward was buried yes
terday afternoon from the house in Lib
erty street lane, and the father, George
Jordan, was buried from the Georgia N,
Urinary. Lizzie Jordan and her little
daughter, Leold, each of whom were
shot twice, were both reported as doing
well
From all that can be learned from the
friends and acqJaintances of the Jor-
dams the shooting was the result of mar
ital unhappiness. The husband and wife
had had frequent fallings out before.
Jordan accused her of being unfaithful
to him. Jordan was raised in an old Sa-
Vannah family and was regarded as a
steady, quiet and industrious young fell
low He seemed devoted TO his chill
dren, and bought them Christmas pres
ents after he had LETT his wife.

not likely that he viii be given his liberty
by the court. Though the judge IS allowed
80 use his discretion in these matters, 1t

U. s. COURT POSTPONED.
The Next Session VIII Convene Abou
February.


No session of the United States district
and circuit courts will be held here until
about Feb. l. Judge Speer wired to Messrs
Charlton, Mackall & Anderson, as repre-
sentatives of the Savannah bar, yesterday
asking them if there We're any matters Of
so great Importance to come before his
court here that it would be necessary to
hold it before holding the court in Au-
gusta. He said that the wife of District
Attorney Gary was quite ill, and that if
not positively necessary, he would rather
on that account go first to Augusta and
afterward hold court here. The reply to
the telegram from Judge Speer stated that
it would be entirely convenient to the at
torneys here to have the session Of the
court postponed for that time especially
in view of The fact that many of the Sa>
vannah bar would have cases before the
state supreme court during the presnt
month. The court in Augusta will be held
probably about Jan. s, and it is likely that
the courts session in Savannah will not
begin until about Feb. ]. or at earliest, the
latter part of the month
