the Verdict.

One of the CoEOred Jurymen Defends
the Verdict.
II. H. Miller. one of the colored jurymen
in the killing of Robert Jefferson, colored,
by w. H. Hlnson does not think that the
position of the colored jury men has been
fairly presented in the published reports of
the case. He submits the following card:
Editor Morning News: You viii please
allow me space in your column to vindi-
cate myself. am one of the negroes who
composed the coroner's jury. which held
the inquest over Robert jefferson, the
negro who was shot and killed at dinners
vile. on the White Blur road. do not
think. in my opinion, that justice was Civ
en- us in the account in yesterdays paper.
The impression is that the jury was COM
by prejudice and made their verdict con-
trarY to law and evidence.
This is Incorrect we were
selected by the coroner. He had
ample time for securing more white men.
il such was his intention or desire, as the
inquest did not begin until about midnight.

regardless of race or color. 1t has always
been my greatest pleasure TO establish II
possible, a closer and better relationship
with our white citizens. We made our
verdict in direct line of the evidence pro-
duced, which seemed to have been such a
series of connections that there was not
one word Of difference in the statements
of the witnesses.
Furthermore, we were guided by sec
fion of law cited to us by our faithful and
energetic coroner 1 quote the following
as my memory directs: Malice shall be
implied, where no considerable provoca-
ton appears. and where all the crcum-
stances OF the killing show an abandoned
and malignant heart" The above is the
source from which we made our verdict II
we are mistaken we leave il for our hon.
orable court to decide. remember several
years ago a similar circumstance oc-
CURED. only the parties were white. When
a white man went to one of the prominent
hotels of this city and shot down a
gentleman who was night clerk.
the man who did the shooting, as far as
could be ascertained, had nothing what
ever against the man that was killed.
Yet that man who did the shooting was
brought up before the court and given a
life sentence in the states penitentiary.
1t should be the duty of every citizen,
whether white or black, to lift up his voice
in the suppression of crime and lawless-
ness. Your law-abiding citizen,

A healthy baby IS the real jewel for which
the wedding ring is only the setting.
There is no place in Natures economy for
childless marriage. Welded couples that
are childless are never truly married. A
baby is the tie that binds. The baby is the
pledge that makes husband and wife one in
nature and in fact, and that teaches mutual
self-sacritice and sympathy. Thousands OF
couples are childless because of the wife s
neglect Of her health as woman. Too few
women fully appreciate the importance of
keeping healthy and vigorous the organs
upon which motherhood is dependent As
consequence, they are weak where they
should be strong, and motherhood is either
an inpossibll1ty or torturesome and darN
gerous ordeal. This is easily remedied.

Los Angeles Correspondence of New Or
leans Times-Democrat
The most famous gambler on the Pacific
coast died at the home Of a friend among
the orange groves and roses of san Gabriel
valley the other day. He was George Al
bro. and his age was S. He had been
gambler for thirty-three years. and had
sat about the green table of every city
in America of over $1,000 population. He
spent several summers in Paris and Ham,
burg, and he once taught the Duke of
Connaught and several of his royal friends
the American game of poker He used
to go TO Washington occasionally and
have games with senators. He was an
Intimate friend of the late United States
Senator George Hearst Of California
Albro left by far the largest estate ever
acquired and saved by any gambler in all
this region. While 90 out Of 100 gamblers
die so poor that they have to be buried
by the charity Of their friends, Albro was
easily worth over $4,000, He was known
among the gambling fraternity as the
"business-liSe man." and he prided him
self on the title. He reckoned that he had
handled fully S2,400,000 In his long years
of gaming. His estate-all willed to neph-
ews and nieces-comprises a store build
Ing In Portland, Ore, a residence In Chi
cago and beautiful orange grove in the
Pomona valley. in Southern California. He
gave the credit for his savings TO a sis
ter, who, he said, wrote him or saw him
twice a week for more than twenty years,
and never closed a letter or a chat with
him without reminding him to avoid the
pauper's grave Of others Of his gaming
associates.
Albro was a genial, polished man. He
was sitting on the piazza OF his ranch
home one day recently and he talked Free
ly with newspaper reporter about his
life.
"What was the greatest gambling you
ever saw" asked the reporter.
"I've been asked that many times and
80 can answer II of hand" said he 1T

At a meeting of the board of directors
Of the Catholic Library Association, held
last night, Il was decided to tender the
base ball team, which has been represent
ing the association this summer, bene-
at game to be played on Labor day. This
viii probably be the last game of the
season and in point of interest 1t will be
one of the greatest.
In it Hopkins and Krenson, Savannah's
great pitchers, will be pitted against
each other. 1t is recognized by all who
have seen these pitchers perform that in
them Savannah has two OF the best pitch
ers in Georgia, If not in the south. They
have never played against each other
at least, not since either of them has de-
veloped-and the battle of pitchers will
undoubtedly be a great one.
The intention is to make up two strong
teams, using the Library players and
picking in outside men to fill up. The
regular team will not be played on one
side, but will be divided so as to make
the personnel of the teams as equal as
possible. Goss will catch Krenson ana
bauantyne will take care of the back
stop for Hopkins.
The Y. NJ. C. A. team is putting in
hard ticks at practice for its game with
Guyton Saturday. and the Guyton boys
are not letting the Chatham team steal
march on them In that line. The bat
teries will be Krenson and Goss for the
Y. NJ. c. A. and the Nell brothers for
Guyton.
