READ INDICTED FOR MURDER.
SABRO HELD BY GRAND JURY FOR
ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION.

Slayer of the Negro william Stew
art Transferred TO County Jail to
Await His TriaI-The AnEIo-Indian
Sword SwaIIover 10 stand Trial
for Trying TO kidnap Young Pres
ton Everett-The Strange Hand
kerchief That Sabre Sent the Boy.
The grand jury, at its session yesterday,
indicted ]. J. Read, the slayer of the re-
gro, William Stewart, for murder, and
William Cashwel, alias King Sabre. for
the attempted abduction of young Pres
ton Everett
bench warrant was issued for Read
Immediately after his Indictment and he
was removed from. the police station to
the county Jail. 1t is expected that his
trial will take place as soon as the crimi-
nal cases now before the Superior Court
have been disposed of.
Cashwell, it is also expected, will lie
given an early trial. King Sabre is the
sword swallower, who has been hunted
by the police for two weeks on account OF
his continued following of young Everett,
it was believed with the intention of
kidnapping him and carrying him
off. Cashwell, or Sabre, is now in
Jail and the young lad and his parents
feel that they are safe from him for a
while at least. Mr.. John r. Everett, the
father of the boy, has felt that his sons
life was in danger and he has watched
for the sword swallower at every turn Of
the street. When he saw him Sunday
night when Sabre was in the merd4less
hands of young Sauls it was only the in
reference of the, crowd that
kept the father from shooting
the man he believed to be the evil spirit
that threatened his little son.
With one of the letters that
Sabre sent young Everett and
which was handed TO him Sun
day night at the drug store al Bull and
State streets, where a. lad is employed,
was a peculiar Indian handkerchief,
richly embroidered in silk with curious
colored designs. When the handkerchief
was opened at the boys home a peculiar
and overpowering odor came from it that
almost rendered unconscious those who
touched it, The odor disappeared after
awhile, but the family regarded the hand
kerchief with suspicion and they believe
it was saturated with some strange thing
known TO men of "Sabro's' class and in
tended either TO kill or affect in some
way their consciousness.

OFFICERS AFTER ED GAYN0R.
FOLLOWED HIM TO THE OKEEFE-

Iantic Contracting Company at

The Courts Anxious to Get Hold OF
the GaynOrs Before July 1.
Deputy Marsnals White OF Macon and
Cason of Naycross have been down in the
Okeefenokee swamp for The last week OF
ten days looking for Ed. H. Gaynor, one
of the alleged conspirators indicted along
with John Gaynor, Greene, Garter and NJ.
A. Connally for defraudlng the government
in the Savannah harbor operations. Cay
nors brother in-law has some contracts
in the Okeefenokee swamp, and news was
received that he had gone there. 1t was
also learned from New York that he was
not there, and that he had gone south. A
thorough search, however, failed to find
any trace of him.
There seems to be little doubt though,
that Gaynor has been in Clinch county
during the last few weeks. Ii was ru-
mored that he was at the convict camp
in Clinch county, where George Haupt
is serving his time experimenting the
building of some lighters to be used by
the Atlantic Contracting Company Mar
shall White at once secured n bench war
rant for his arrest and started for the
Okefenokee. AT WayCross he was joined
by Deputy Marshal Cason and the two
started on Gaynors trail. They return
ed TO Macon yesterday empty handed 1t
was especially desired that Gaynor's ar
rest should be effected before July /, as
after that date the statute of limitations
will bar another indictment, should the
present indictment be proven invalid The
officers did not reach the Okeefenokee
until Gaynor got beyond their reach.

USING TIN MEASURES NOW.
HucLsters Score One by Changing
From the old Wooden Measures.

From the old Wooden Measures.
There was a show of bright new tin
measures in the market yesterday morn
ing. The hucksters apparently wanted to
be on the safe side by having new meas
ures, but in changing they have found a
way to still get ahead of the buyers, as
there is a difference of a gill in every quart
in favor of tin or wet measures, as com
pared with the dry measure. which is or
should be the standard by which to sell
solids such as beans, peas, etc
Whether this discrepancy is not known
to the vendors, is a question. Market
hucksters are sharp traders, and what
they don't know about how to measure
or count is not worth learning.
Capt. Joseph = Whites inspector Of
weights and measures. went through The
market yesterday morning and branded
the new tin measures which he found
up TO the standard, but as he has nothing
to do with the change from dry to wet
measures he could say nothing about the
new method of some hucSsters to give as
little as possible to buyers.

WILL DE OPPOSED AGAIN.
Alderman Hans VIII Not Get His
Cemetery Plan Through UnfOught.

Alderman Haas effort to induce the City
Council to pass favorabiy upon "a new
cemetery tract. will be as stubbornly con-
tested as ever. When he renews his at
tempt to secure some site for the esta5-
lishment of a new cemetery, he will find
old forces allied against him. though it
remains to be seen if the opposition will
prove as strong as before.
Alderman Tiedeman was asked yester-
day if his position regarding new ceme-
terry Is as he SO cffecWallY made it known
an the recent meeting Of the Council
thereby contributing largely to the defeat
OF the Special Committees report. His
reply was that he stands just where ne
did then.
1t seems probable that a warm fight is
in store for Alderman Haas, when he
brings up his measure again. He is con-
WINGED, though, that the best Interests
of the city demand a new cemetery. Just
as Alderman Tiedeman is convinced that
there is no present need for "A new one.
