the ARMS MURDER TRIAL.
Continued from First Page)

ATuS 10 Say LnaG SQo naQ or
dered $50 to be paid Mr.. Russell,
the jeweler, witness from Val
dosta, Ga; also that Mr.. Arms
life was not insured. This was
done as it was insinuated that
much money had been paid to
witnesses and that Arms life
was heavily insured.
George Drawdy was called to
show that he had only given one
order to Nick Myers on G. G.
Higginbotham,; and that he had
never given Nick Myers SIS to
come to Ocala to institute suit
against Arms for cutting Draw
dy's horses.
Mr.. Smith OF Moss Bluff testi-
fed that Evans had told him that
Nick Myers left home December
% at 2 p. m, and Evans saw
Myers no more. Both sides then
rested their case.
Il. A. Burford, attorney for g.
G. and Andrew Higginbotham,
then asked the court to strike
from the record the alleged con-
versation of George Drawdy
with G. G.. Hlgginbothaln two
years ago last September, that
they whip Arms and run him out
of the country. That @. T.. Hig-
ginbotham was in no wise con-
nected with Myers in the Arms
case; that testimony, remaining
with the jury, would prejudice
the case, and that Higginbotham
was in no way related to the
Arms murder case.
States Attorney Carter said
he intended to mol. pros. the
HIgginbotham cases, but Attor-
ney Burforaf was not satisfied
with anything less than that the
judge say the Higginbothams
were not guilty and should
charge the jury to that effect,
which Judge Hooker said he
would do.
This ends Mr.. Burford's SER
vices as an attorney with the
case and 1t is not invidious to
say that he has done more thor
ough service i'm establishing law
points and minimizing the evil
dence of the state than the gall
axy of brilliant talent that ar
gued for the defence.
Owing to the severe fever of
Juryman McR,e of Reddick,
who lay on cot all day, court
adjourned until 8 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
TUESDAY MORNING
States Attorney Carter made
an able speech and showed a mas
ter mind In the presentation of
the evidence.
He was followed by Messrs.
Patterson and Tillinghast of
South Carolina, for the defence,
both being kin to Nick Myers;
the latter haying married his Sis
ter. They are brainy, cultured
men, attorneys of prominence,
and their magnificent addresses
made a most favorable impress
sion.
Court adjourned at 1890.
This afternoon Ray B. Bullock
will close for the defence and
NeiIl M. Alfred for the state.
The oratory drew full house.
The ladies present were Mes
danes Arms, McGrath, Davis,
Moody, Robert Bullock and MISS
Willie Williams.
The fever stricken juror, Nc
Rae, was able to sit up today.
Yesterday the impression was
that it would be a mistrial; after
hearing the eloquent speeches Of
Patterson and Tillinghast it was
that it would be an acquittal.

leading physicians of the city until his
death in 1874. Both DR. and Mrs. Sullivan
were natives of Hopkinton, Mass. They
came South in 1884, locating at Darien
whefe they resided until 1851, when they
removed to Savannah. During her lonp
residence in Savannah Mrs. sullivan bod
earned and retained the esteem of a
large circle of friends. She was quiet and
reserved IN disposition, and was rarely
seen in public, but her many noble ouaIi-
ties OF mind and heart made her one.

THE sOUTHEAsTERN SECTION.
HOmesee1zers Secure Lots There mt
Reasonable Figures.

The sale of lots in the southeastern sec
ton of the city goes merrily on. Prae-
tically all of the lots west of the Savan-
nah. Florida and Western Railway tracks
have been sold, and homeseekers have
crossed the railways right-of-way ana are
now investing in lots to the eastward.
This they can more readily afford TO 40
as this section has not been exploited 10
any extent as yet, and the real estate
owners have a large number OF lots on
hand U$n II they are willing to sell at
reasonable prices and on easy terms.

onened through this section to the Wa

chasers of lots announce then lhteh'Ioil

parties who have contracted TO pm scilase
both lots and improvements, and the lnGi-
cations are that the section east OF the
railway will soon be as well built uEo as
the corresponding section 10 the west OF
the track.
Owing to threatening appearance OF the
clouds and the indications of rain the
sale announced by Mr.. (. H. Dorsett at
Ninth and East Broad streets yesterday
afternoon was not as well attended as
those interested would have liked, ana
the result was that the bidders who We're
present obtained lots at practically their
own figures The lots offered were in the
second block east of East Broad street.
The sale of lots in block II on the north
side was completed by Mr.. Dorsett. capt
w. H. Daniels secured three lots at Sl5o
each, Mr. r. C. Fetzer two at &S5 each'
while other parties secured single lots
at slightly higher prices, the hlshest
price paid being $145 The prices were not
satisfactory, and CIR Dorset closed the
sale early with the statement that none
of these lots could be obtained at private
sale at the figures just named.
Mr.. John l. Archer, who mas re-
Gently made a number of sales IN the
southeastern section for the Oglethorpe
Real Estate Company, and who VAS pres
ent at the sale yesterday stated that
his company had sold lots in the same
vicinity for $3.50 and some further 10 the
eastward as high as $500. Mr. Archer
agreed with Mr.. Dorsett in his statement
that the southeastern section is now ne
only portion of the city where lots can
be obtained a reasonable prices by home
seekers of moderate means, all lots to
the west of the railway track having
been secured by parties who intend build

Georgia and Alabama Wants to Go
Through Hermitage Tract.
Notice of intention to condemn a right
of way through the Hermitage tract has
been served upon the heirs of the McAlpin
estate by Charlton Mackall 81 Anderson,
attorneys for the Georgia and Alabama
Railway Formal notice has been served
as required bylaw but the papers in the
case viii not be filed until the arbltrators
have made their report.
In its notice to the owners, the railway
company names Mr. A. R. Fawcett as its
representative upon the board. The own
ers are required by law TO name repre-
sentative, or in case of their failure to do
so this duty falls to the Ordinary These
two choose a third party agreeable to both
and these three compose the board of ar
bitration.
Mr. ]. Randolph Anderson in speaking
of the matter yesterday, said that The
company desires a right of way through
the Hermitage tract from the Augusta
road to the river. This is not desired for
terminal purposes but merely 70 enable
the railway TO reach the bridge across The
river TO Hutchinson Island. A right of way
seventy-hve feet in width is desired and
the entire amount of land required is a
fraction over seven acres. A higher price
has been demanded than the railway COM
pany is willing TO pay and hence the com
rnencement of condemnation proceedings.

CROOK STILL AT QUARANTINE.
Transport viii Probably BE Ordered
Back 10 n Cuban Port.

The transport Crook is stlll at quaran-
tine. Col. Bellngers query to the war
department as to what disposition shall
be made of the ship had not been answer
ed yesterday afternoon. 1t is thought
probable. however, that the Crook viii be
sent back to Havana or some other Cuban
port instead of being brought up to the
city.
on receiving Col. Bellinger's message
asking for directions as to what he should
do with the vessel and recommending that
no more transports be sent here from Cuba
unless arrangements can be made al that
end of the line for their fumigation, the
war department cabled Havana to ascer-
tain IL such arrangements can be made.
1t is probable the matter is still undecided,
1t is possible the Crook may go to Sap
eio TO be disinfected, and that she may
come to Savannah from there. That was
a suggestion of Col. Bellinger's to the
department. but it is more likely that his
other suggestion for the Crook to return
direct 10 Cuba and then make her next
trip to a northern port where the regula-
tons are not so strict will be the one
adopted
Il is not probable, officials say, that the
government will return no more mules to

NOT SHOOTING so WELL.
Poor Ammunition Is Keeping Down
Sea Critters Scores Bit.


Sea Critters Scores "a Bit
The prospective Sea Critters are hard at
work getting in readiness for the great
New Jersey contests. Twice a week the
shots who will make a try for the team
are out at the range for an hour at the
butts, though some of them practice even
oftener.
1t is generally admitted that the rifle
men are not showing up quite as well as
they have in practices heretofore. That
is not because there has been any falling
off in their abilities, but simply because
the ammunition is not as good as that
used heretofore.
The Sea Grit rules this year demand
that government ammunition be used by
all contestants. That means the Posteu
bullet will not have a chance and the
Georgia rlfemen have given it up They
are now shooting the government cart
ridges, which have fewer canelures on
the bullet and which are differently shap-
ed from the regulation affair. An addi-
tional handicap is found In the age of the
ammunition in use 1t was loaded in 1887,
and Is therefore twelve years old. 1t is
claimed by the marksmen that the old
powder is responsible for the scores being
not so good as they believe they should
make.
The Sea Critters rather think the teams
at the North and East would be more than
glad, to bring down the colors of that
from Georgia. 1t is not claimed that the
rules have been changed to affect Geor-
CLANS solely, but it is said
there win be some difficulty
in making as good records as
have been made in the past. 1t has been
demonstrated that there are better shots
in Savannah with military rifles Than
anywhere else in the United States, how
ever, and it is thought the laurels will
again come this way. The Georgia shots
will have the same chance as the others,
and it is odds that they will again come
