WOODEN LEGS MARKS.
Clue That Led to the Arrest of No
tOrfOus Brass Thief.


Henry Jackson, negro crook known
in police circles as Peggy, was arrested
yesterday by Detective Wall for steal
ing brass from the Central of Georgia
Railway Company. The arrest Of
Jackson was brought about in a rather
unusual manner, and although the ne
gro denies the charge, the officer is sure
that he is the guilty man.
Jackson's propensity for stealing
caused him to lose leg about ten
years ago, and the fact that he wears
a wooden leg in place of the genuine
article caused his arrest yesterday. The
negro was stealing brass several years
ago and ATTEMPTED to make his escape
when shot down by Patrolman Chrtsty.
The bullet entered Jackson's leg and
the limb had to be amputated. the
police say that even his experience with
determined officer and the fact that
he served time for the crime did not
cause the negro to reform, and as Peg
gy his reputation as a gentleman OF
the depredatory class still fingers
around police headquarters.
Several nights ago brasses were stol-
en- from a Central Railroad car and an
investigation was begun. Unmistak-
able signs of Peggy were around the
car that had been robbed, and Detec-
tive Wall took charge of the case.
Signs of the wooden leg were found in
the railroad yards, and Jackson's af-
Fiction, together with his fondness for
brass, was readily recalled by the Of
ficers. The negro feigned surprise
when placed under arrest and will pro-
test his innocence when arraigned be-
fore Recorder Myrick in Police Court
this morning.

TO GIVE CROSSES OF HONOR.
Daughters of Confederncy to Hold
Important Meeting.

Savannah Charter Chapter. Daugh-
tiers of Confederacy will meet in Con-
federate Veterans Hall this afternoon
at 4;S0 o'clock. Much important bust
ness will come before the meeting par
ticularly the appointment of delegates
to the state convention of the society
which will be held at Columbus Oct. 80,
and also the selection of delegates to
the meeting of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy which will be held
in Wilmington, N. c., in November.
Another matter of Importance will be
the report, through Mrs. T. S. Nor
gan, its chairman, of a committee on
the revision Of the chapters present
constitution and bylaws.
Yet another matter that will demand
the attention of the meeting will be the
appointment of delegation to go to
Hinesville to present crosses of honor
to the members of Camp No. 1850,
United Confederate Veterans. 1t had
been hoped that this camp would find
1T convenient to visit the State Fair
at which time the presentation would
have been made, but as the veterans
will not visit Savannah as a body the
other plan has been adopted. The trip
to Hinesville will be made shortly after
the crosses are received which will be
within a short time.

TOOK SENTENCE CALMLY.
Williams Answered "Yes. SIR" When
Sentenced to Living Death.

Williams Answered "Yes. SIR" When
Sentenced to Living Death.
Jim Williams, the murderer of the
newsboy. Lewis Green, was sentenced
to the penitentiary by Judge Seabrook
in the Superior Court yesterday. The
prisoner presented rather unusual
spectacle as he was being sentenced,
and his manner was somewhat differ
ent from any prisoner who has occu-
pied a similar position in recent years.
Before reading the formal sentence
the court delivered short address to
the negro, who was standing with his
hands in his pockets, and despite the
gravity of the situation wore a smile
upon his face. He appeared happy in
the thought that he had escaped the
gallows by so narrow a margin, and
punctured Judge Seabrook's remarks
with ''yes, sir" Those two words were
the only ones used by the defendant.
and he used them whenever the court
paused in his remarks.
Judge Seabrook told the negro that
he had been convicted of one of the
most enormous crimes on the, statute
books, and that he should be thankful
to escape with his life while the boy
that he killed was sleeping in a GEM
etery, never to wake up again on this
earth. The court said that he trusted
the prisoners crime would be a lesson
to him, and that he would conduct
himself properly in the penitentiary
and in a measure atone for his wanton
taking of human life. With a yes,
sir Williams left the court room with
a bailiff, and appeared as much pleas
ed as If he had been walking to free
doom.

TO WALK THIRTY MILES.
MIR. w. N. Pratt win Attempt 1t sun
day ON a Wager.

The Ogeechee road is to have a mo-
mentous question decided upon it next
Sunday. Mr.. William N Pratt is to
demonstrate his ability as a pedestrian
He>.will have a gallery watching the
effort, too, for the Oglethorpe Club is
interested, and it is expected that there
will be many of the members out to
see how Mr.. Pratt fancies an under
taking that he has assumed.
Not long since Mr.. Pratt was talk
ing in the club about the walking he
has to do. He said that he was on
his feet great deal-in fact, all day.
This led some one to interject that a
man could scarce keep on his feet so
long. Mr.. Pratt was just as insistent
as were those who were disagreeing
with him. and a wager resulted.
Mr.. George w. Owens and Mr.. S. p.
Shotter questioned Mr.. Pratt's ability,
and the wager was 800 a side, Mr.
Pratt betting that he could walk thirty
miles in eighteen hours. The Ogee-
chez road was chosen as the place and
next Sunday as the time for the dem
onstration. In the meantime, Mr..
Pratt, it is understood, is taking any
bets offered. 1t is said that he has $40
in addition to the principal wager.
One of the stipulations is that Mr..
Pratt is not to rest during his trial.
He is not to sit or lie down, but is to
remain on his feet. That is where the
difficulty rests, for it would be a COM
paratievly easy matter for a healthy
man, in good physical trim, to walk
thirty miles in eighteen hours if he
were allowed to sit and rest during
the trial
Mr.. Pratt, ii is understood. is not do
ing any especial training for the event.
He is in good form as it is, and does
not expect near the trouble in winning
the wager that those having the other
end believe is in store for him. They
think that he will give it up by the
time he has covered half the distance,
which is to go from the city to the
Ogeechee bridge and back and then
make the trip all over

SAW ASHBY KILL HIS WIFE.
New Witness in Ashby Murder Case
Drought From Liberty County.

Willie Sims, an important witness
for the prosecution. was brought from
the Liberty county Jail yesterday and
will testify tomorrow in the trial OF
Louis NJ. Ashby, charged with the
brutal murder of his wife. Sims is
charged in the adjoining county with
COW stealing and was committed to
Jail here by Solicitor General Osborne.
The young man claims to have wit
messed the tragedy in its entirety and
made a statement Immediately after
the homicide that agreed in detail with
the account of his mother, who also
saw Ashby fire the fatal shots.
Ashby's counsel will rely on the prop
osition, 1t is stated that the prisoner
was insane when he committed the act,
and it is believed will contend that he
is still demented. To combat this the
DRY the state has summoned news
paper man who talked with Ashby
after his arrest and before he stub
bornly refused to see or talk with any
one. At that time Ashby appeared to
be shamming and made several slips
that will be used against him on the
witness stand.
The prisoner stated that he had no
recollection of what had happened and
in every way tried to create the inn
preston that he was still suffering
with dementia. He complained of a
pain in his head and asked the re-
porter If he didn't have a wild look.
At that time Ashby lost his temper
when told the story told by
Sims was repeated to him. He
declared wildly that Sims had
not seen him kill his wife for the rea-
son that when the shooting began the
boy became frightened and ran from
the house. Sims stated at that time
that he did not run until after Ashby
had fired the last shot into his wife
and that at that time he was looking
at the murderer through the window.
Ashby saw him and pointed the re-
volver in his direction. Sims says that
he did not leave the place until then.
The hearing tomorrow promises to be
an interesting one and will probably
attract a large crowd.

WIFE HIT HIM WITH STAT.
Injured Husband Wants Divorce Be-

Injured Husband Wants Divorce Be-
cause of Cruel Treatment.
Willie Henderson filed a suit for a
total divorce from his wife, Nora Hen
derson, in the Superior Court yester-
day. The parties were married in 1896
and almost continuously since the mar
riage rites were celebrated, so the
plaintiff alleges, his life has been rem.
dered unhappy by the misconduct of
his wife.
She continuously cursed apd abused
him, so he alleges, and on many occa-
sions would fight with him. These
fights always ended in his being run
out of the house. On one occasion
she hit him a severe blow with a bed
slat and since that time he has lived
separate and apart from his wife.
The plaintiff further charges that
the wife is an habitual drunkard and
that on many occasions she has, be-
cause OF this, rendered his life unhap-
by. She was often drunk and when
drunk vicious and surly in manner
and temperament
Neither party has any property and
there are no children. The plaintiff
is represented by Mr.. Raiford Falli-
CANT.
