the request of the Ball woman, Butler
was placed under arrest. Butler was Sc
under the influence of liquor, and did not
appear to realize the gravity of the
charges against him. He drowsily declared
that he was innocent He admitted that
he was in the house with the children,
and that he left before the return of the
Perry girls sister. He. said, however
that he went TO sleep shortly after the
woman left the house and that upon
awakening he left. The prisoner suggest
ed that some one else might have entered
the place and committed the crime while
he was asleep.
The Perry girl declared that she had
shouted for help when Butler assaulted
her, but that there was no one around,
and her appeals were of no avail. She
said that on several occasions, since she
had endeavored to tell her sister what had
taken place. but without any degree Of
success. The sister verified this state
ment, and said that she paid no attention
to what the child was trying to tell her.
She claimed, too. that she was afraid
that her assailant would do her bodily
harm if she told of his conduct.
Although Butler has never been in any
serious trouble before in Savannah, he
is well known to the police, al one time
having been employed in one of the
Broughton street concert halls. He lived
in Oglethorpe lane, near Barnard street,
about four blocks from the house where
it is charged the assault occurred. The
negro will be given a preliminary hear
ing by Judge Hartridge in Police Court
this morning, if the Ball child is able TO
appear. DR.. Heriot. Hattie Perry, her
sister, Emma Robinson, and Mamie Ball,
the smaller girls mother. have been sub
poenaed as witnesses. The case will be
heard in private

BUCKED INTO A TROLLEY CAR.
WoOd-Cart Mule Ripped Things Up
Generally.


A heavily-lloaded wood-cart of ]. c.
Puder and a West Savannah trolley car
collided with damaging results yester-
day morning, on the bridge crossing the
Ogeechee canal, on the Louisville road,
directly in front of Mr.. Puders wood
yard. Aaron Palmer, the negro driver
was knocked from the cart and received
several ugly, though not serious. injuries
The old mans right leg was badly hurt
and he was otherwise painfully bruised
about the body. 4
The West Savannah line runs directly
in front of the wood yard, which is To-
Gated on the Louisville road and the
canal bank. There is a narrow bridge
crossing the canal over which the cars
run, and which is also used by pedes-
TRANS and vehicles. 1t was at this point
that the accident occurred that came
very near resulting in the death of the
aged negro driver.
Palmer was seated on top of the wood,
with the mule at standstil, when the
car came up from the direction of Lin
coin Park. The sleepy-looking mule heard
the approa ching trolley and for some rea-
son took it in his head to jump. He
damned the shafts of the cart through
the car and the driver was precipitated
to the ground. The motorman brought
his car promptly to a standstiH and a
physician was summoned to attend the
injured man. The harness had been lit
orally cut from the mule and yet there
was not scratch on the animal to show
that it had been in a collision. The only
damage done to the trolley car was the
knocking of the two holes In the side.
made by the heavy shafts of the wood
cart. The negro drivers escape was in
deed a narrow one.

ASSAULTED TWO CHILDREN.
Ugly Charge Against Joseph Butter
COIOred.

COiOred.
Joseph Butler a negro p years old, was
arrested last night by Mounted Patrolman
Ed j. Coffee, charged with a revolving
criminal assault upon two little girls of
his own race. The crime is alleged to
have been committed in one-story house
in Perry lane, two doors west of Bar
nard street, last Thursday night But
ler's victims were Sallie Ball, aged 8
years. and Hattie Perry. aged 10 years.
The younger girls condition is rather
serious.
Evidence of the assault was discovered
last night by Mamie Ball mother of the
younger of the two girls. Her child had
been complaining for several days, and an
examination disclosed a startling condi-
ton of affairs. and revealed he fact that
crime had been committed The Ball
family live in Perry street lane near Bar
nard. and just opposite to the house &C.
cupied by Emma Robinson and her sis
ter, the Perry girl. The mother Of the
younger girl called at the Robinson house
and heard the story of her companion.
Butler was in the house al the time, al
though he had been drinking. and was
hardly responsible for his actions.
The elder girl reminded her sister OF
the fact that one night last week she had
been left in the house with the Ball chii
and Butler while the sister went to larry
the weekly washing. The woman readily
recalled the incident. The girl declared
mat Butler blew the light out, and thal
the room was in utter darkness when he
attacked her. The Perry child was MS
hrst victim and the Ball girl next Butler

A BRAND-NEW sWINDLE.
A Complicated Arrangement which
Has often Proved Successful.

NUS
From the New York Evening Sun.
A new swindle frequently played of late
has for. its victims Italians passing
through New York on their way from the
Far West to their native land for the
Christmas holidays. Three men, who
have as yet evaded the police, stand in
West street and wait for their fellow
countrymen who have a good sum of
money to make the long journey. When
they see a man whom they think will
prove an easy victim, an acquaintance Is
quickly scraped and the four become
great friends. Two of the swindlers then
explain to the traveller that their COM
panion is a wild lunatic who is about to
be shipped home to Italy. Oddly enough,
the man is going to Naples on the same
steamer as the traveller.
He is perfectly harmless" they assure
the traveller, but SO very insane" Then
a test is given the wild lunatic.
Antonio" says one of his companions,
Ego across the street and buy some fine
cigars for u.s.
Antonio crosses the street and returns
with cigarettes.
''See how very mad he fs!' exclaim the
two others. Antonio cannot tell the diff
ference between cigars and cigarettes
Then the unsuspecting traveller is told
that he will receive a large fee If he will
watch the traveller on the ship to see that
he does not try to kill himself before
Italy is reached. The traveller consents
and a roll of bills is taken from Antonio's
pocket and handed to him.
You had better wrap his money up
with yours suggests one of them to the
traveller. While the stranger brings out
his money and places Antonio's wealth
with 1t, one of the New Workers. drops a
key. The traveller stoops to pick it up,
and as he bends over some one seizes all
the money. If possible, it is taken with
out the victims knowledge. In nine cases
out Of ten he drops IL in his pocket as
he reaches for the key and one of the
sharp-fingered swindlers quietly takes IL
out. Then two of the men walk over to
the cigar store 10 rectfy Antonio's mad
error while the third walks off with the
money.
Complicated as this swinde may seem,
1t has been worked half a dozen times
within the past month.
