The Atlanta Court Martial is Still Sitting
Her Character.
Atlanta, Ca, April 29.-The only
evidence In the court martial of Capt.
E. E. Romeyn this morning was Of
fered by the prosecution in rebuttal to
sustain Mrs. O'Brien's character and
show that Romeyn's attack was un-
iustifable.
The court will probably be in ses-
sien several days yet and there are all
sorts of conjectures as to its findings.
Tonight it is very likely that the
court martial will reach tragic cll-
max. Captain Romeyn's reflection on
Mrs. O'Brien's chastity has aroused
her husband. A body guard is being
kept at Romeyn's quarters to prevent
an attack by O'Brien.

A Prominent Savannah BoOkkeeper
Has Stolen Seven Hun
dred Dollars.
AND NOW He CANNOT Be FOUND.
He Was Trusted By His Employers Who
Now Find That the Trust
Was Betrayed.

Savannah, April 30. The manager
of the Savannah Office of the Armour
Packing company Is anXiously looking
for Frederick R. Heeseman, the assist
ant boOkkeeper, who is wanted for the
larceny of about $500. Heeseman is
supposed to be IN Charleston, his old
home, but kilograms sent to the au-
thorities q that city asking that he be
arrested have failed in their mission.
The Charleston authorities have been
unable to find him.
Heeseman came to Savannah about
two years ago and secured position
with the Armour Packing company as
assistant bookkeeper. He held that
place until yesterday at noon, when
he is supposed to have left for Charles
ton. Manager L. G. Gibson, of the
Armour Packing company, had his
suspicious aroused against Heeseman
a few days ago and began an investl-
CATION. Before he concluded his re-
searches the assistant bOOkkeeper de-
parted from Savannah. The manager
said today that be had no statement to
give out relative to Heeseman's de-
parture or to his shortage.
He did not know. he said, just how
much he was short in his accounts and
did not care for the affair to be gwen
any publicity. The packing company
loses nothing, of course, through the
young mans shortage. The Armours
are protected by the Fidelity and De-
posit company as sureties on Heese-
mans bond. Every effort to find and
apprehend Heeseman today has proven
futile.

tlser, died yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock at the residence on G street.

recovery had been abandoned.
The deceased leaves a husband, four
sons, Messrs. Frank, Thomas W.,
Harry and James, and three daugh-
ters, Misses Effie, Alice and Fannie.

women, who exemplified all the Chris

the sincere sympathy of many friends.
Owing to the death there was no is

Several Scares Yesterday, Resulting in Sew
eral Caninicides.
Mad dog scares are now the rage.
There was great excitement over the
antics of one of the animals yesterday
morning on street, in front of the
Oglethorpe. A flee belonging to A.
Palaveda was running rampant
around the street chewing up every
dog it could find.
1t tried to bite a colored woman, but
she beat it off with an umbrella.
Several men chased the dog, trying
to shoot it, and several shots were
fired, but without effect. The dog
finally disappeared. Mr.. Palaveda and
others had noticed for several days
that the dog was acting queerly and
tried 10 kill it Wednesday, but after a
long chase it escaped, only to turn up
yesterday morning.
Will Flanders killed Palaveda's dog
near Parker's store yesterday after
noon. Officer Jones also shot and killed
a dog that had been bitten by the one
Flanders killed.

Second Lieutenant of Police Found
Dead in a Springfield
Thicket.
A WOMAN'S BELT Is FOUND NEAR.
One of the Most Peculiar Crimes on Record.
Was He Killed by
Woman?

Jacksonville, April 30. - Second
Lieutenant of Police William E. CRU
ber was murdered by being shot
through the head Wednesday night,
and his body was found lying in a
thick growth of underbrush on the
southwest corner of Phelps and Lib
erty streets at 9 40 this morning.
AS yet the person who fred the IA
tai shot has not been caught, and the
only clew SO far obtained is a Iady's
blue serge belt and a small white
handkerchief lying about fifty yards
from the body. These articles indi-
cate that there was a woman in the
case, and other circumstances point
strongly in the same direction, but as
yet no one is even suspected of the
murder.
The body was first discovered at 40
by Henry Gardner, colored, who lives
on Washington street, in Oakland.
The face was buried in the sand
with the right hand cllnched and held
against the lips. In the back of the
head on the right side and just above
the right ear was a bnllet hole, from
which blood and brains had oozed and
clotted in the hair.
r Six feet from the body on the
ground was lying a partly sucked
lemon. The uniform coat was pulled
up over the right hip and the pistol
holster was plainly seen, but the pis-
tol was gone.
The coroner's jury will hear the evil
dence tomorrow.
Lieutenant Gruber left the police
station Wednesday night at the usual
time, and since that time he was not
seen by any of his superiors or subor-
dinate officers of the force.
tis a we'll known fact that Lieuten-
ant Gruber hsd been investigating the
death of the infant found dead in
Springfield last week, and some of his
friends believe that he was engaged in
this work when he was inYeigled into
the thicket and murdered. Others are
firmly convinced that he was the sub.
ject of some married mans vengeance,
while still others think that woman
did the killing with the lieutenant's
own revolver. In any event, some
sensational developments are expected.
The deceased was married, but left
no children.
