FIVE MINUTES SESSION.
Garter Court Martial Adjourned to Meet Today
 at Augusta.

Savannah, Ga., Jan. H-There was only five minutes session of the Carter court martial today, held for the purpose of ad- journing to Augusta, Ga., to take the tes- timony of Marion Twiggs, former in- spector and assistant engineer. Mir. Twiggs is suffering from consumption and could not come to Savannah. He is expected to testify tomorrow with regard to the quail ity of the mattresses and stone that went into the river and harbor. The members of the court including the judge advocate, the accused and his counsel and Captain Gillette, left the city tonight for Augusta
 The day was spent by the judge-advocate in examining a lot of Captain Carters pri- vate and personal papers under instruc- tions from the war department, which was done under protest from Captain Carter through his counsel. The protest was un- needed. Major H. M. Adams, who was on the board of inquiry that first looked into the case, was present, supposedly on ac- count of his familiarity with the papers.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.

The victim referred to in the following
is granddaughter of Mr.. ]. w. An
derson, of this city, and was born in
Albany, where, with her mother, then
Mrs. Robert Garrett, che formerly re.
sided:
Butte. Mont, June 1l.-Ethel Gill.
aged years, disappeared from her home
on South Ohio street Thursday evening.
ms morning her dead body was found
IN an clubhouse several blocks from the
residence OF her parents The condition
OF the body showed plainly that she had
oeen outraged, and the marks about her
neck indicated that she had been
strangled to death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Gill, parents of
the child arrived here about two months
ago from Oakland, Cal They rented
cabin In the rear of S2S South Ohio street.
Tnursday evening the child was playing
with some other little ones near the
Northern Pacific depot, not far from the
child's home. Since then nothing was
seen OF her until this morning, when q
female neighbor went into the outhouse
ana saw what seemed to her to be body.
she notified some men in an adjoining
luES yard, who went in and secured
the body. It was that OF the missing
child. The clothing was torn and dis
arranged. Discolorations on the neck in
dicated strangulation, and there was
mark on the left temple, as if made by
some blunt instrument.
The police think they have the man |
who committed the crime He was ar.
rested about an hour after thu girls alb
sence was noted. The police wanted him |
on suspicion of burglary. They found
him in the lumber yard not so feet from |
the clubhouse. There we're blood stains |
on his clothes, and when questioned
about them he could give no satifactory |
answer. When today's discovery was
made, the police thought of this citcum-
stance. Since then, witnesses have been |
found who will swear they saw the man |
and the child together on the evening OF |
her disappearance and shortly before his |
arrest. The man gave his name as /
Charles Smith, but he is also known to /
the police az Higgins.
When the girls body was found and be
was suspected OF that crime, the police
started to put him through the sweating
process. They made him account for his
actions and movements on the evening of
the girls disappearance and his own ar
rest He did not do so in satisfactory
way. Then he was taken to the under
takers where the body was being pre-
pared for burial, and made to look upon
the body. He stood the test manfully.
He is a man about q years of age. The
theory of the police is that the girl had
gone into the outhouse, and the man fol-
lowed her and accomplished his purpose.
Il is said she was seen talking to q man
answering the description OF the prisoner
3 short time before 8 o'clock THURSDAY
night. The girl was OF slender build and
very beautiful. She was an only child.
The inquest viii take place Tuesday. Il
Should the absolute proof of any ones
guilt be obtained, there will doubles be
; lynching.
