BIT ARREsTING OFFICER.
PatrOlman Broom Had Hard Time of
Ii With Man Named Hanrahan.

Patrolman Broom had hard tussle
with a white man, known as "Bull'
Hanrahan, in the Palace saloon on Bull
street yesterday morning, and was badly
bitten on the left wrist. The officer had
much trouble in subduing the unruy
man, but refrained from using his
club. Hanrahan was under the influence
of liquor, and it is said had been acting
in a disorderly manner for some time.
Brooms attention was attracted by pis-
tol shot in the bar, and Hanrahan vas
pointed out as the offender. The intoxi-
Gated man would not submit to arrest,
and endeavored to take a piece out of the
officers wrist. A bystander went to the
assistance of the patrolman, and Hanra-
han was placed in the patrol wagon. He
is charged with being drunk and firing a
pistol in a saloon as well as resisting the
arresting officer. The prisoner will be
given a hearing by Recorder Myrick in
Police Court this morning.

WHITECAPS' WORK
NEGRO LYNCHED AND ANOTHER
WHIPPED IN BRYAN COUNTY.
DEED AT DEAD OF NIGHT.
FARMERS CAME TO SAVANNAH TO
HAVE JUSTICE DONE.

United states Authorities Were
Sought, but the Farmers Were
Told THAT Nothing Could he Done.
The Matter Is One for the Concern
of the state COurts-Men Dropped
Masks Upon Which Names Were
Written-John Moody the Negro
Lynched-His OfTcnse Had Been TO
Leave One Farmer 10 Work for
Another.
John Moody, a negro, was hung and his
body riddled with bullets in Bryan coun-
~ night before last. The deed was done
by whitecaps, who did not let their bloody
work stop with the killing of Moody. but
turned their attention to another negro
whom they beat severely.
The story of the outrage was brought
TO Savannah by two farmers of Bryan
county, living near Burroughs and just
beyond the line of Chatham county The
farmers came to Savannah to induce the
United States authorities to take up the
case. as they feared that justice could
not be secured from the state authorities
in Bryan.
Leaken was sought by the farmers, both
of whom were white men of reputation
and standing in their community. They
told him of the outrage, saying that
Moody had been employed by one of them
TO work on his farm. 1t seems that Moody
was under contract to another farmer Of
the neighborhood to work out a certain
hi, hxr he n
leaving him 20 go to the other man, the
farmer who first employed him organized
a band of his friends, all of them sworn
to punish the negro.
Each member of the band thoroughly
disguised himself, and, at dead of night,
they rode to the plantation to which
Moody had removed. They went to
Moody's house and dragged him forth
TO tree that stood conveniently near
they hanged him, and shots were fired
into his body Another negro who was
found in the house was whipped.
II was declared that suit in a justice
court had been brought by Moody against
his old employers for wages due him. He
had gained Judgment. being awarded the
dHOull lOT WHICH ne Sue%ii less tllb value
of supplies he had received.
Mr.. Leaken informed the farmers that
the United States authorities could take
no hand in the matter, as il was one for
the concern of the state courts. The
farmers said the sheriff of the county was
after the lynchers, but they did not seem
TO place much reliance in any efforts that
would be made in Bryan to apprehend and
bring to justice the men who had per-
petrated the outrage.
Two masks were carried by the farmers
They said they had been dropped at the
scene of the lynching by the whitecaps.
Each OF the masks was marked with the
name of a citizen of that section of Bryan
county, and it is said they will afford
valuable evidence if the case is brought
TO trial.

JASPER AS AN ARGUMENT.
VIII BE Used in Maryland Suffrage
Restriction Fight.

right
The life and deeds of Sergt Jasper are
to be used as arguments in a fight in the
Maryland Legislature for the restriction
of suffrage rights. Mr.. w. r. Leaken
has been requested by Baltimore friend.
a leading lawyer of that city and a mem
Der of the Legislature, to send him the in
scription upon the Jasper monument in
this city. Mr.. Leaken copied the inscrip-
ton yesterday and will send it to the leg
islator, who will employ it in his fight
against the proposed restriction.
1t is the desire of the adherents to the
proposed measure to cut off the right of
voting from all who can neither read
nor write. Sergt. Jasper was an illiterate
man, but his intelligence. patriotism and
calor were such as to commend him to the
admiration and esteem of all that knew
him. History has lauded his gallantry,
and sound sense was shown by him on
countless occasions. 1t is believed the
example of such a man, uneducated
though he was, will serve we'll the gem
tleman who is to use it as an argument
against the proposed educational clause in
the Maryland constitution.

ROBBED MANY DWELLINGS.
After search of Nearly Two Years
Alleged burglar Is Arrested.

Joe White, negro for whom the po-
lice and detectives have been looking
nearly two years, was arrested yester
day by Detectives Murphy and Wall and
is held at the police station on nearly a
dozen charges of burglary. A concealed
weapon was found on White when he was
arrested, and that charge was also enter
ed against him.
The detectives say that because of the
circumstances surrounding the case they
are very much afraid that this is the
only charge upon which they can convict
the negro, whom they consider a smooth
article in the shape of a burglar. 1t is
charged by the police that in the sum
mer of 1899 White and a negro named
Piano burglarized many dwellings. PIANO
was aDprehended and most of the plum
der was recovered. He was tried and sem
fenced to a long term in the penitentiary,
where he now is. White was said to have
been the principal, but managed to elude
the officers. Spoilers were sent all over
the country for him at that time, but
the negro managed to keep out OF the
way of the police.
Detectives Murphy and Wall learned
yesterday that White was at the foot
of West Broad street, unloading fiat
boat OF wood The officers knew the
character of the man for whom they were
going, and Wall secured "a rowboat and
put out from the market dock. This
was for the purpose of preventing escape
by water, and Murphy went to the West
Broad street dock on foot Before White
could realize what was happening, he was
in the hands of the officers. At first he
was inclined to show fight, but when two
revolvers were thrown in his face he de-
cided to surrender. When searched a
loaded pistol was found on the negro, and
the officers say that he would have used
it if he had been given an opportunity.
At the police station White told the
detectives that he knew he would be ar
rested sooner or later, and for several
weeks he had been paying an attorney so
that he would have legal representation
when he found himself behind the bars.
The detectives say that the prisoner sent
word to his lawyer that he had been
caught When Piano was convicted he
implicated White, although the officers
knew at that time that the man now I'M
der arrest was the principal in the many
burglaries committed in the summer of
1899.
against his alleged pal and the detectives
say that they have little hope of having
their man sentenced for more than twelve
months, for carrying a concealed weapon.
White will be given a preliminary exam
ination by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court this morning.

CONTRACTOR A BANKRUPT.
William II. Mann Seeking Relief
from Debt in United States Court.

from Debt in United States Court.
William H. Mann of Savannah, who
states that he is a mechanic and con-
tractor, filed a petition for a discharge in
bankruptcy in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday.
Mann owes debts amounting to 1913,
all of which are unsecured, and has nom
inal assets OF 1910. OF the assets $500 is
represented by an interest in an unliqui-
dated and uncertain claim against the
Seaboard Air Line Railway.
About half of the debts were contract
ed in Jacksonville, in 1899; the bankrupt
ran up the rest of them in Savannah In
1900. The Stewart Contracting Company
and the Andrew Hanley Company are hit
harder than any other Savannah con-
Germs, but, fortunately for them, the line
of credit they extended the bankrupt was
not very large.
