man, Killed.

0lAAGus

yesterday afternoon while at work in the

HER SHAMELESS UNCLE,s ACT.
w. e. Bennett Seeks to Attack His
Niece's Character As an Excuse.

Niece's Character As an Excuse.
The story behind the case Of the state
against W. E. Bennett, convicted of an
assault upon his niece, has already been
related in the newspapers. The outline
Of the story is that the young girl, who
lives in Bulloch county, was visiting her
sister and aunt in Savannah. She was
asked to go to Thunderbolt by the hus-
band of her aunt, and after staying awhile
there her uncle by marriage said they
would take a walk. The girl innocent
and trusting. went and was Mortified by
her uncle's propositions and his forced
liberties with her
The case was argued before Judge Fall
ligant yesterday for a new trial the new
grounds being advanced that the charac-
ter Of the young woman was bad prior to
the time of the occurrence at Thunder
bolt. Judge Falligant overruled the petit
ton, and his ruling was forceful to a de-
gree of being sensational. Among other
things, he said:
"A careful consideration of the details
OF the claims fails to relieve the case of
the impression of guilt stamped upon il
by the verdict of the jury. The peculiar
family relation of the victim of the as
sault to the accused and the frightful hui
initiation inflicted upon her by him while
under his care and entitled TO his protec-
ton, sufficiently account for the delay in
disclosing the full gravity of his crime
Her modest demeanor on the witness
stand while detailing the shocking con-
duct Of her uncle satfed the jury Of her
thorough truthfulness
The aftidavits to attack her character
are overbalanced by contra affidavits. The
prisoner. on Sept. II, 1896, wrote the letter
produced in evidence, which was so far re-
garded by his attorneys as a confession
as to induce them to ask the court to
charge on the law regarding confessions.
In that letter the defendant stated II
have or did mistake goodness and purity
for evil intention. / cannot blame her for
letting it be known"
The futile attempt at this late day to
destroy the reputation of a pure young
girl, his own wife's niece whose trust in
him while under her protection he so foun-
iy outraged and betrayed, only puts in
darker shadow the infamous and fiagitious
crime of which he stands convicted The
motion for new trial is refused"

\ VERDICT ron s4,os3.ss.
The Result of the Coleman Suit
Against the Plant System.

The jury in the city court yesterday re-
turned a verdict for s4,5S3. 80 favoring T.
NJ. Coleman, plaintiff in the suit for &c.,
600 damages against the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western railway.
The verdict was not the first one that
has been rendered in the case.
A spicy little verbal combat was engage
ed in by Mr.. Fleming duBignon and Coun-
sci Toomer of waycross during the prog
ress of the hearing yesterday Mr.. Toom-
er made some remark which seemed to re-
fleet on the fairness of the attorneys for
the road in their handling of the case IT
denounce that as positively false" said
Mr.. duBignon.
Mr. Toomer said that If he was wrong
he was glad to be corrected, and the mat
ter was dropped. During the last trial of
the same case Mr.. Chisholm, a member of
the firm of Erwin, duBignon & Chisholm
became entangled in a dispute with Mr.
Toomer in open court.
