roo MUCH FoR THE JURY.
Row Mixed Up and Defendants Given
benefit of Doubt.

Mamie Rowland. alias Bertha London,
and Carrie Lewis, two negro girls. faced
Judge Falligant and a jury, in the su-
perior Court yesterday, on a charge OF as
sault with intent to murder.
The indictment alleged that they had
jumped upon Emma Robinson. another
young negress, and that one OF the de-
PENDANTS had seriously cut and stabbed
the Robinson woman with a knife. The
defense of the Lewis girl was that she
had nothing to do with the row and that
OF the other. Mamie Rowland. that she
acted in self-defense.
The row occurred during the progress
OF an entertainment of a decidedly so
cial character. at Duffy street Hall. on
the night OF Jan. %. So genraI had been
the mix-up that the jury found It difficult
TO separate the facts and ascrlbe the
blame for the encounter and in conse-
quence gave The defendants the beneft
OF the doubt and returned verdict OF not
guilty
After the rendition OF the verdict and
the consequent discharge OF the defend
ant the two young negresHes were che re-
cipients OF the congratulations OF a nu-
merous crowd OF their friends and ad-
mirers. who had watched the trial from
the gallery OF the court room. They &C.
cepted che adulation thus rendered them
with the naughty mien Of returning
herolnes.

A FAILURE TO CHARGE.
Relied Upon by Counsel for Pitts in
Motion for New Trial.

NOtACu pun ny OOunAel TOT FITtS In
Motion for New Trial.
A motion for a new trial was filed yes
terday in the Superior Court in the case
Of Gilbert Pitts. the white man tried for
the murder Of Sam Mitchell, a negro
oysterman, found guilty OF manslaughter
and sentenced by Judge Falligant to
serve term of fifteen years in the peni-
Tertiary.
Besides the usual and formal grounds
Of motion, that the verdict in the case is
contrary to the law and the evidence,
counsel for the defendant assign as error
the failure Of the court to charge one Of
the special provisions of the code on the
subject of justiiable homicide. This pro-
vision, after the enumera ton of various
cases in which homicide shall be deemed
Justifiable. says that ell other cases,
which stand upon the same footing of
reason, Justice and humanity" are also
justifable. Counsel contends that the
killing Of Mitchell by Pitts stood upon the
same footing Of reason and justice as the
special cases enumerated and described
in the code.
Judge Falligant granted an order direct
ing that the motion be filed and that the
solicitor general show cause before him on
tomorrow why the new trial should not
be granted. The defendant is represented
by Messrs. W. F. Slater and A S. Way

A male negro child, about two months
old, was discovered on the stoop of Re-
becca Houstons house, No. SOC Hartridge
street, shortly after 10 o'clock last night
1t was thnly clad and its cries attracted
the attention of a passerby, who aroused
the inmates of the house.
A blanket was placed around the tiny
waif, and it was taken to police head
quarters. Desk Sergeant Baughn discov-
cred a note pinned on the rag. which an
swered the purpose of a dress, and the
detectives hope to be able to locate the
individual who left the infant to die from
exposure.
The note was addressed to the Hous-
ton woman and requested her to take
and keep the child as her own. The writ
er declared that the child Is an orphan,
and asked the Houston woman to be its
mother. She was admonished not to adj
vertse the find and under no circum-
stances to report the matter at police
headquarters. The writer, who Is evil

The prosecutor was the girls mother.
Charlotte Roberts The alleged assault
was said to have been committed while
the man and the child were occupying

child had not attained such discretion as

there was some evidence that the child

"Reminiscences of Bethesda by Son
of Old Superintendent.


Col. J. H. Estil. president Of the Union
Society. has received an interesting let
ter from II. D. Murphy of Barlow, in
Jefferson county, relative to the Bethesda
Orphan Home. The father Of the
writer was for many years. before and
during the war, superintendent Of that in
stitution.
After referring to the reasons for the
deep interest he takes in the affairs Of
the society and the institution of which
it has charge, Mr.. Murphy continues:
Il have attended many anniversary oc-
casions there in my boyhood days, when
my father, S. G.. Murphy, was superin-
tendent. There I have worked on the
farm with the boys gone TO school with
them, engaged in their sports ished in
the streams and hunted in the woods
With my own hands 1 planted a row of
I~can trees in 1883. Whether any Of
them are living and bearing I know not,
as left there in 1860 and have never been
back since.
Il never see the announcement Of an
anniversary there but that I earnestly
wish l could once more return and visit
the scenes Of my boyhood days"
Mr. Murphys father was in charge Of
the institution when the war began and
when, owing to the proximity of the en-
envy. the boys were moved TO Bethany
Ga, where they remained until the war
ended, he accompanied them and remain
ed in charge of them during that period.
A place at Bethany was purchased by
the society for the home Of the boys and
they remained there until all danger from
Federal soldiers had passed.
During the war the buildings at Be
thesda were occupiedias quarters by Con-
federate trops, and on the evacuation of
Savannah, the Federals occupied the
property. 1t is a tradition that the
Federal troops were on the point of de-
stroying the buildings, when an old col
ored man named Binah, who was owned
by the society and had been left in
charge of the place told the soldiers 1t
was the property of the Union Society
The talismanic word, Union" saved the
building from destruction.

AT THE THEATER.

There must be something in piece that
can run as long as the Devils Auction
has. and draw as good an audience as
that which filed the theater last night.
1t was a good large house, and most
everybody seemed to think it was a pref
~ good sort of a show.
II was the same old DEVILS Auction, .
of course and there were the same old
lines-which the regulars have learned by
heart-but there were some new settings
and several new specialties.
The ballots were very good, and the
work Of the dancers, particularly Amalia
Maveroffer, was fine. Richard T. Brown,
the comedian, had some very good things,
and got full share of applause for his
work, which was extremely good.
A new and unique speciality was that of
Irene and Zaza," as the programme stat
ed, Zaza being a dog and Irene a girl.
Irene was a supple contortionist, and with
the aid of the dog, which was well train
ed, performed some very clever feats.
On the whole the piece was an enter
tanning thing of its kind.

cannot be questioned, as the success she
