TO HEAR DELEGAL MOTIONS.
Murderers and Rioters of Darien
Want a Second Hearing.

Motions for new trials in twenty-eight
criminal cases are to be argued before
Judge Seabrook in the Superior Court this
morning. The more important of these
are the motions in the cases of John and
Eddie Delegal convicted of murder and
sent to the penitentiary for life, for the
killing of Deputy J. L. Townsend; the
Others are the cases of the convicted riot
ers in the recent race troubles in Darien.
Solicitor General Livingston Kenan of
the Atlantic circuit arrived in the city
yesterday morning for the purpose of ar
suing these motions The solicitor will be
assisted in the prosecution by Messrs. Wal
ter G. Charlton and Walter c. Hartridge,
who Were retained in the cases when they
were first tried in the Superior Courts OF
Mcintosh and Bingham counties. The de
PENDANTS will be represented by Messrs
Twiggs & Oliver and Mr. Travis of the
local bar.
The murder cases are familiar enough
The two Delega4s were convicted in Eff
fngham court, to which county they OBJ
tanned change of venue, but recommend
ed TO mercy. They were sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. Before motions for
new trials in their cases had been made
I and filed, a warden from the penitentiary
( arrived in Savannah, where they had been
sent Tor safe-keeping, and they were sent
away with him When the motions for
new trials were filed. a few days after
wards, the warden was at once notified,
and the men brought back 10 Chatham
, Jail, where they are now confined.
After their return to the city the men
amused themselves by relating to the
credulous some wild tales of the ill-treat-
ment to which they claimed they were
| subjected during their stay at the convict
| camp. According to their stories, both o.
them had been cruelty whipped and beat
en-. Afterwards, when one of the depu Y
wardens came to Savannah and went to
the jail, he confronted the Delegals when
them Immediately and shamefacedly re-
tracted all that they had said with the
single weak exception of a slight whipping
one of them had richly deserved and had
received.
( The riot cases are those of the negroes
/ who were convicted for the demonstrations
at Darien. 1t will be remembered that
many of these were acquitted and it was
| stated at the time that only those were
convicted whom the evidence showed to be
guilty beyond the possibility of a reason

will win the fight. He is all that could be
desired in the fighting way, and he should
defeat his challenger.
Jack Leonardo see no reason why JEFF
fries should not win the fight. He is Shar-
keys superior in every way, according to
my ideas.
Dick Dwyer-I pick Jeffries as the win
ner in the bout He is so much the supe-
Jor of the two men physically that he is
the only one l can see.
Bin Everitt-I think Jeffries ought to
win, He is the best man who has ever
held the championship in my opinion.
Billy Meyer can't give any opinion. I
have never seen either of the two men
box, end do not care to rely on hcarsay
for my judgment. There is a good chance
for the fight to so the limit.
Sam Fitzpatrck-If either of the two
men is a favorite with me / rather think
Sharkey would be given the preference.
| hardly care to say even that, as the men
are 50 evenly matched.
Patsey Haey-I think that Sharkey has
the best chance In the world. Al best
Jeffries is a great fighter, and can beat
the sailor If he is right.

THE CARTER CoURTMARTIAL.
Confusion Resulting From the Sub
mission of Opinions by Two Legal
Authorities.
From the Now York Evening Post


From the New York Evening Post.
Washington. Oct 30.-The echoes of the
Carter courtmartial are still ringing in
the air here, and new points are coming
to light, which, on account Of the artificial
mystery always surrounding courtmartial
proceedings. have hitherto escaped public
notice. Among the acts of the President
most severely criticised in connection with
the Carter conviction was his submission
of the judgment-roll to two different le-
gal authorities for opinions on the merits
of the case. 1t has been shown in these
dispatches that the submission to The at
torney general merely followed the usual
procedure in cases Of such importance
where the minutes of the testimony are
too voluminous for the President to go
over personally before passing final judg
ment; but the retainer of a lawyer in
private practice, like ex-senator Edmunds
was an unsual feature of the programme
and, as 1t now appears, served only to con-
fuse the matter instead Of clarifying st.
Most newspaper readers assume that Mr.
Edmunds' opinion and thai of the Attor-
ney General conceded on all important
points, and that the President was thus
convinced by cumulative legal argument.
AS a matter Of fact, the opinion of Mr.
Edmunds and the opinion of the Attorney
General substantially contradicted each
other Mr. Edmunds found that on those
counts of Carriers indictment which ac-
| cused him of conspiracy to defraud the
! government, the prosecution had failed to
prove it's case, but that on the remaining
| counts which covered either technical Vi
| olations of discipline or minor irregularl-
| ties the evidence OF his guilt was salts
| factory. Assuming that the Attorney Cen
| eral would take the same general view,
| Carter's counsel appear to have laid the
! chief stress of their argument upon the
! latter class Of points, giving only sec
! ondary attention to the conspiracy counts.
| The Attorney Generals opinion, however,
was to the effect that the evidence on the
conspiracy count was satisfactory, while
| he was not convinced as to the others. In
| other words, if the Attorney Generals
| opinion as to what was not fully proved
could be cut off from the rest of his find
! ing, and tackled upon that part Of Mr.. Ed
| munds' opinion which touched the counts
there treated as not proved, the combi-
no ton would exculpate Garter on the en-
| tire indictment; or, TO put the statement
! in the opposite form, If those parts of the
| two opinions which treated Carter as gull
| ty could be pieced together, they would
| furnish a complete condemnation Of him.
It will be seen, therefore, that in this
! case the President found anything but
| wisdom in his multitude Of counsels. The
opinion given by Mr. Edmunds may be
considered as wasted, and the President
could have reached his final conclusion
much earlier by turning over the case at
once 20 the examination of the Attorney
! General since he appears to have been
bound TO take Mr. Griggs' Judgment alone
| in the end.

But the Savannah Golf Club Is Pro-
crossing Smoothly.
No grounds have yet been secured by the
Savannah Golf Club, which was recently
organized by number of the prominent
young men of the city. A committee has
that matter in hand, and it is believed its
labors will be completed within a few
DAYS and that there will then be no obsta-
Gle in the way Of getting a competent in
structor down from the North who will lay
off the course and be ready for lessons for
those of the club who have not yet hand
led the fascinating golf clubs.
Members of the club report that great
deal of interest is manifested. and they
have no doubt that an enduring organiza-
ton will be the result of their efforts 10
arouse the young men of the city to an
appreciation of the recreation ana amuse-
ment that is to be gained by the pursuit
of the fascinating game.
The secretary of the club is now in COM
nnlnication with some one at the North
looking toward the securance Of an in
structor. One has been recommended
and il is very probable will be secured. 1t
is expected he will not only act in the
capacity of instructor after laying off the
course. but will also have it in charge,
heing a caretaker of the clubs property.

ton of "a Large Audience.
When the Baldwin Melville Company ap-
pears at the theater the people of Savan-
nah know they have an opportunity to
see one of the very best repertoire COM
binations on the road. That knowledge re-
suits in good houses for the company, and
that they had last night when the Sa-
vannah engagement for the first night
performance was fulfilled. Seats ran out
long before the audience stopped gather
ing, and standing room was in demand.
Even at that the company did not have
as large a crowd as it deserved, for the
house should have been crowded TO see
so excellent a play so well put on and
well acted.
The usual good sense of the Baldwin
Melville people was displayed in their Sc
lection of a company, and every part in

Mr. w. ]. Jossey, who, by the way, is a
Georgian, having been reared in Macon,

high order, greatly pleasing a number of

SPEAKING of trusts and the tariff,
aud our friends of the opposition al
ways couple them together, it is as
we'll to remember that protection
causes the multiplication CT factories,
thereby increasing the production of
of articles of commerce. increasing
competition, and increasing the diff
Guilty of cornering or controlling the
output. The trust has usually di-
rectly opposite aim--the limiting Of
production, the sitting of competi-
ton and the increasing of prices.
Protection is in its essential nature
and operation antagonistic to trusts.
To the candid person who is willing
to learn, a study OF trade conditions
in free trade England, where trusts
especially flourish, will be edifying,
and it will show that q free trace soil
is especially favorable to the rapid
and luxuriant growth Of those per-
nicious combinations in restraint of
trade,
