DOUBLE Line
Of Defense

cedng witness. contradio ted Neary as
to Herberts referring to Billiott by
name.
B1RM1NGHAM'S STORY.
The strongest testimony connecting
Billiot with the stabbng was given
by james Birmingham. He was one
of the group on the crossing where
the fight was taking place. While 1t
was in progress II man came running
out of the Sereano house. carrying a
knife and passing over the crossing
pushed into the crowd. \ moment
later the fight was over. Before Bir-
ningham could reach the crowd Her
bert was stabbed and the crowd was
dispensing. birmingham says posi-
lively this man was Billiott. He knew
MIN. recognized him ns he passed by
and positively identified him at the
hearing before Alderman Jones.
Mrs. Sarah DAYS corroboratcd Bir-
pingham as to everything except see,
Ing a knife in Billiott's hand.
She was waiting for her husband
near the crossing. Hearing the music
in the Serrano house, she strollnd over
that way and looked through the open
window. Tom Scrranu and Billiott
they stopped they went out the back
way, came around to the front. and
were standing near the sidewalk. when
some one came out of the house and
told them that n boy had thrown a
rotten orange through the window and
struck tho fiddler
Sctrano Went over to the crossing
to chastisc the boy. who was pointed

went towards the back of the house
and. upon rcappearins. hurried over
to III" crossing where y fight was now
in progress. S"rrano and Golden were
struggling in close embrace. Goldcn's
car had been chewcd off by Serrano.
Herbert stepped in to save Golden and
lust at this juncture Billott came NJ,
to where the struggle was going ON.
BILL1OTT PASSED HER.
Mrs. Davis testified that Just A.
Elliott reached the crowd she was
starting to cross the two tracks in
IerNcninc' between her and the street.
When she got across she stopped and
looked back at the crowd. The fight
ing had stopped and the crowd was
dispensing. The discovery that Her.
bert was stabbed stopped the fight
Billiott passed her out on the way
to the fight and again when he was
coming back. Mrs. Davis testified,
ana when asked if she could positively
identify tn" defendant as the man who
had pa.>scl her ont. she replied: II
have taken my oath. That's the man

On crosS-cNaminaton she reuc-
family admitted she did not know Bill
lott. and when the question was put
10 her as to whether or not she had
ever seen 5lliott before the night of
the fight. it had to be repeated three
times before she would answer and
when the answer came ii was a hcsi-

Been Asleep.

Hardeeville, S. c., May 12.-Editor
Morning News: I am surprised at the tan
gent your city board of aldermen has
taken at the approaching advent of Sam
Jones to Savannah
III the board had known him better,
he could not have had the Park.
Why, has this present board of alder
men been indulging in a Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep for the past twenty years. Wnere
are his many sermons (words, works ana
sayings) printed in book form, scattered
TO and fro the land? Is this board OF al
derman not a reading people?
Mr.. Jones has been a prominent eccles-
i3stcal figure for many years in many
places and before many millions OF peo-
pie. BY reference to the Morning News
files of some eighteen or twenty years
ago. treacherous memories can be remind
ed that this self same Sam Jones created
quite q lasting stir at Trinity Methodist
Church in Savannah by individual EFFORTS
peculiar to himself. Does the man not

JONES LETTERS.
different Views Taken of the Man
and His Methods


Waycross. Ca, May 11.-Editor Morning
News: With your hundreds of saloons in
Savannah the people of Waycross are not
surprised TO hear that Sam Jones is de-
nounced there before he reaches the city
Before his arrival in Waycross, the writer
Twas not prepared to admire his language
or his methods, judging solely from what
the newspapers say of him, quoting the
chaff and emitting the pith of his argu-
ments. After earnest attention to his dis
courses for ten days hundreds in this
town who doubted the propriety of his
methods say, God speed Sam Jones on
his mission to uplift humanity protest
against vice, and win souls for Christ!
The people have been surfeited with SER
mons that lull the conscience TO sleep,
taat eliminate the truth that 1.-The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"
and repudiate the teachings of Jesus on
the future state. The vast army
OF non-church goers increase
week by week, year by year, and drift
into eternity unattended by the hope that
purihes the soul. If the methods of Mr..
Jones can arrest the attention and i'm
press the conscience. who would be will
ing to oppose him? To speak viley, and
to speak emphatically of vile things, is
altogether different The people have
sufficient intelligence to form correct
opinions of the man when they hear him
often enough to see every side of his
great character, and realize that it is
not the man he denounces, but his sins.
1t is refreshing always to meet an
original man; true to his convictions,
with keen insight into human nature,
sense of humor unexcelled, and brave
enough, if need be, to risk his life to res
cue soul from destruction, and you
have a picture of Sam Jones.
Because there are people more nice
than wise, who shudder when the in
EQUITIES that are eating at the core of
society are exposed and because the
pharisee is as imposing now as
in the days of Christ. shall Christian men
and women, because they differ in minor
points with him, denounce his efforts to
stem the tide of intemperance and wicked
ness, bearing on its bosom the souls of
the unrepentant, to that bourne from
which no traveller e'er returns. Those who
see the handwriting on the wall, realize
that there is a prophet among us, and
rejoice that there are giants in these days
willing to bear the taunts and jeers OF
those too blind to see aught, but the
things that perish.
A Daughter of Georgia.

JONES MEETINGS ON.
CONTINUED from Eighth Paxe.)

we're not projected for that purpose The
meetings will continue until they close.
We don't know when that will be- We
preached three weeks in Atlanta The
last night Jones addressed a crowd that
was packed and damned into a great
buiIGing while, standing in a carriage
at the intersection of four streets, talk
ed TO people who were crowded far back
into the thoroughfares."
The EvangeIist's Sermon.
Mr.. Stuarts sermon was based upon
the strength of character of Daniel, whom
he considers one of the greatest men of
sacred or profane history. The preacher
selected Daniel as his theme he said, be-
cause it is uplifting and improving for
4 ,ongreg ton TO be brought in touch
With such a character. "'Evil communi-
cations corrupt good manners and evil as
sociations debase good morals" Mr.
stuart quoted. "One cannot remain forty
minutes with an evil man without being
harmed, nor can one remain forty min
MES with a good man without being
helped"
The character of Daniel, full of purpose
and devoted to certain principles regarded
as right, was commended as a standard
to young people, the preacher voicing the
need there is for young men and young
women of purpose and determination who
mean and strive to be something. The
temptations that assaled Daniel as the
choice of following his own or strange
God became necessary, were detailed by
Mr. Stuart, and in them were found
analogies to the temptations of the pres
cnt day.
Speaking of the practice of drinking,
Mr. Stuart said: Would to God the day
may come when the man who will take
a drink or swear cannot even be elected
constable. These hard-swearing, hard
drinking old officeholders ought to be rel
egated to private life. Every official in
Savannah, If it is in his power to prevent
the lawlessness that prevails, is leading a
perjufed life Applause) Savannah is as
dirty a gambling town as there is on the
face of this earth. Even children gamble
on their way to and from school, There
is everything from marbles up to a pro-
gressive euchre. ] should as soon play
seven-up at So a game to play eucher
