WANTED TO KILL DRUMMER.
Pretty Young Woman From Florida
Arrested on "a Peace Warrant.

Pretty Young Woman From Florida
Arrested on a Pence Warrant.
A pretty young woman from Florida ar
rived in Savannah last week with revenge
and mischief dancing from the corners
of her eyes, and yesterday when she was
arrested on a peace warrant no surprise
was expressed by those who knew of her
arrival and mission.
She had pawned her automobile cloak to
get money enough to pay her passage
to Savannah, and of buying revolver to
do her deadly work. The flames were
smothered by the serving of the warrant
and the young woman has announced her
determination to dispose of the pistol
which had been purchased with murder
Gus intent.
The little woman from the Land OF
Flowers is II years of age and quite
pretty. She has auburn hair and pair
of dancing blue eyes. Her intended VIC
tim is a travelling man; handsome and
debonair. They met in Florida and be-
came fast friends. She charges that on
more than one occasion he stated his in
tention of marrying her. and that when
he requested the loan of two diamond
rings she did not hesitate to comply with
his simple request. The rings belonged
20 her mother and when the drummer did
not return them she became worried.
According to her story the drummer not
only failed to return the jewels, but kept
out of her way. She waited patiently UNI
til she learned that he was in Savannah
and then it was that she purchased the
pistol and ticket with money realized on
her cloak. The man for whom she was
in search was not on hand when she ar
rived in Savannah, but she did not keep
her mission a secret. She stated in the
presence of more than one that she
would kill him on sight, and something
serious would probably have happened
had it not been for the fact that the
peace warrant was issued before they
met.
The young woman gave bond and says
that she will remain in Savannah and sue
the travelling man for the amount that
the rings are valued at. She expects to
stay in Savannah and seek employment,
and for this reason her name is with
held.

DESERTED HIS WIFE.
Woman Charged Her Brother With
Causing the Change.


Causing the Change.
A woman, who cannot be called young.
if looks are any sign, and who at the
same time is not aged, called at police
headquarters yesterday to report that her
husband had cruelty deserted her, and
too without having the slightest excuse
for his conduct.
The story she told was an interesting
one, but the police We're unable to assist
her in any way. She desired her truant
husband arrested and brought to Savan-
rah and made to live with her. She re-
fused point blank to sign a warrant
charging desertion. and said that if she
never sees him again she will not adopt
this course.
According to her story she has been
married for two years and her husband
was a dutiful one until quite recently.
Her brother, who lives in neighboring
city, she says, came to Savannah several
weeks ago and had sporty inclinations.
He was not content with leading rapid
life himself. but led his brother-in-law in
the same direction, and for the first time
during his married life he remained from
home at nights.
The wife could not stand conduct of
this sort and made her brother return
home, telling him that he was breaking
up a happy household. Left alone the
husband showed signs of restlessness,
and it cannot be said that his wife was
astounded when he did not show up for
supper Saturday night. She waited pa
tiently for his return and gathered in
formation yesterday which leads her to
believe that he followed the Sells-Gray
circus aggregation. The abandoned wo-
man left headquarters in cab and an
nounced that she does not propose to
worry about the action of her unnatural
husband

DEATH OF Il. SAMPSON.
Was WeIl-Known in Savannah and
Died in Tampa.

IN
Peter Sampson. the Greek saloon
keeper at jefferson and Bryan streets,
has returned from Tampa, where he went
to attend the funeral services of his
brother, T. Sampson, who died of mumps
a few days ago in that city.
T. Sampson was at one time engaged in
business on Broughton street, corner Bar
nard, and up to 1898 was perhaps the larg-
est Greek merchant in Savannah. He
was brought over here by his brother Pc
ter Sampson, and began business without
a penny, but he possessed the faculty of
saving and building up his stock, and it
was not many years before he was the
most influential member of the colony
here. He was generally liked by bust
ness men who knew him and he had I'M
limited credit. From some cause, how
ever. in 1894, he failed in Savannah and
went to Tampa. He began business there
as a commission merchant without capt.
tai. AS he rose here, so he rose in Flor
ida. and he was not great while estab-
fishing himself.
Sampson became one of the proprietors
of the Imperial Theater of Tampa a few
years ago, and was assisted in the man.
agement of it by his son-in-law. At tue
time of the marriage of his daughter,
three years ago, a great deal was said
about the thousands of dollars spent in
preparing for it, The Archimandrite
from New York was brought to Tampa
with great pomp to perform the cere-
mony. The trousseau 1t is said, eclipsed
anything seen in that part of the country.
Sampson went to Greece few months
ago to pay a visit 90 his aged mother.
Returning by way of Savannah, he spent
III NJ
and offered to defray the expenses of his
brother If he wished to go. Simpsons
estate in Tampa is estimated to be
worth upward of 500 OO0

BucLhalter Swamp.

Buckhalter swamp,
Mounted Patrolman T. c. Murphy was
knocked from his horse and painfully in
jured while chasing a negro in Buckhal-
ter swamp yesterday morning. George

Murphy in persuit. Detective Murphy
was in the detectives wagon and the
patrolman was on horseback. The mount
ed man was less than 100 yards behind
the negro when he was knocked from his
horse by the limb of tree.
The officers left shoulder was knocked
out of place and he was placed in the
wagon and brought to the city by the
detective. The wounded patrolman's arm
was set at police headquarters by Police
Surgeon Osborne and DR.. Keller and DR..
Saliba. After the operation, which was
a painful one, the officer was removed TO
his home. Patrolman Murphy is one of
the bravest members of the department,
and has been injured and wounded many
times during his service of eleven years.
The negro Mitchell made his escape, but
his victim is not badly wounded.

DR.. TRUTH DEPARTED.
His Patients and Creditors Would
Like to See Him.


Like to See Him.
DR.. Francis Truth has departed and
those who believed him the wonder of the
twentieth century in the medical line are
sorry that they ever expressed themselves
that way. the wonderful physician
with a smooth name, and a smoother
tongue, left Savannah and THE Truth In
stitute," some time Saturday night, al
though the discovery was not made until
yesterday morning when his patients be-
gan showing up.
Dr. Truth came 10 Savannah about two
months ago and expressed himself clever
", in advertisements. He established an
Institute" at No PIP Liberty street,
west, and played to standing room only
for some time. He had the fiat on the
second floor of the building and his wife
and two daughters were with him one
was girl of u and the other a baby.
Other people living in the house say that
DR.. Truths sister ran the Partisan Dia-
mond Company's establishment on Bull
and Liberty streets, under the Hussars
Club, and that when she left the city
Friday the doctors eldest daughter went
with her
Be that as it may, DR.. Truth, his wife
and baby left the Institute in a cab
Saturday night and they have not been
seen since. Yesterday morning a number
of persons. both black and white, called
at the Institute and were surprised
when told that the doctor had departed
for parts unknown. The patients declar-
ed that they had paid their money and
that the specialist promised to furnish
them with medicine, which they have not
yet seen. While all of the doctors pa
tents were sore they made no complaint
at police headquarters and the officers
have not been asked to find the physi-
clan. The doctor also left some unpaid
accounts in the city.
DIR. Truth paid in advance for the fiat
he occupied and all of the furniture was
purchased on the installment plan. He
made no effort to carry this away with
him and after taking all of his papers
and personal property he locked the
doors and left. The furniture company
claimed the tables, desks and chairs and
slept with his family at the institute and
everything was topsy turvy when the
doors were opened A stick of Chinese
incense was found in the office and it is
presumed that the doctor used this high
ly favored and peculiar smelling stuff to
make his treatment more weird.
DIR. Truth came to this city from Jack
sonville. The following P. S. to a letter
from that city to the doctor is rather in
teresting: 81 trust that the Mayor of
Savannah has not got an NJ. D. in his
family"
