HENRY CASON ON TRIAL.
The state EndenvOring to show That
He Murdered Arthur Brown.


He Murdered Arthur Brown.
The trial of Henry Cason, a 16-year-old
colored boy, for the murder of Arthur
Brown, another negro about the same
age, was begun in the superior court yes
terday. Cason's mother and other rela-
tives sat near him, and with him were
his attorneys, Judge II. d. D. Twiggs and
Mr.. w. G. Woodfin.
All of the morning practically was TAX
en- up with the argument on a motion for
a continuance on account of the absence
of a witness for the defense, J. A. Woods,
who was expected to give evidence of a
statement about the time of the stabbing
on Jan. 20. The motion, however, was
finally withdrawn, and the work of Sc
lecting a jury begun. 1t was nearly 3
o'clock when the jury was finally secured
and the trial began.
Only the evidence for the state was
concluded last night up to the hour of
adjournment. Solicitor General w. w.
Osborne is working to weave around the
prisoner a strong web of guilt the con-
tention being that he stabbed Brown in
fit of anger, the result of a quarrel over
a trifling matter. AS is well known, the
quarrel between the two boys originated
over a Liberal Club star, which Cason
was wearing. Brown had said something
to him about 1t the day before and when
they met again it brought on more talk.
Casons contention is that Brown tried
to shoot him, and that the cutting was
in self-defense. That Is the feature
which the defense will endeavor to bring
out when the hearing is resumed to-day.
The court took a recess about o'clock
and the jury was taken to the De Soto
hotel for the night.

TO BRING HER DAUGHTER BACK.
Mrs. NJ. miller Has Asked the Police
to Arrest Her Waywnrd Girl.

Chief of Police McDermott has tele-
graphed Chief Detective O'Bren of New
York to arrest the two runaway girls
from Savannah. Nan Miller and Susie
Thompson, who are believed to have left
the city on the steamship Kansas City
Saturday night. 1t is probable that only
the youngest girl, Nan Miller, will be
brought back, as the parents of the other
havei made no request for her arrest
They probably consider that being 20 years
old she is old enough to assume the re-
sponsibility for her own acts. The young
er girl is only 16 years of age. Her mother
has notified Chief McDermott that she is
willing to defray the expense of her
daughters passage back to Savannah
Mrs. Miller told a Morning News reporter
yesterday that she was reasonably GER
tain that the two girls had left the city
on the Kansas City, as they frequently
visited the ship and were familiar with
some Of the men on board. Her daughter
left home in the afternoon with the other
girl saying they were going out bicycling,
she said and that was the last she had
seen of her.
