FIRST CONVICTION SCORED.
Young White Men Visited Woods
Place and Were Served.

Young White Men Visited Woods
Place and Were Served.
The case against A. H. Wood. charged
with keeping his barroom open June Is.
was the first one tried. There is a sec
ond indictment in which another date is
named, and this case will be heard next
week The witnesses for the state were
Ely Otto and j. A. Lett, two young white
men.
Lett testified that he had gone in the
defendants restaurant on the Sunday In
question, with Otto, and another, and
that two bottles of beer, and bottle of
soda water were purchased, from the de-
PENDANT himself, for which % cents was
peid. The witness said that Wood took
him by the shoulder, when he started in
the bar and made him wait in the hall
way, with his companions, while he got
the drinks.
On the cross-examination the witness
stated that he had gone to the place pur-
posely to secure evidence against Wood.
he was not employed by any league, or
individual. to gather evidence, and only
desires to see the moral welfare of the
community improved, by the closing of
saloons on. Sundays. The testimony of
Witness Otto was substantially the same.
Wood stated that he had never kept
his bar open on Sundays and that on the
day in question there was IAN enormous
excursion from Pineora," and that he
did a rushing business in his restau-
rant. He denied positively that he had
sold a drink on the day in question, or
any other Sunday, and stated that the
witnesses for the state were not around
his place on the 18TH
A. L. Peterson, bartender for the de-
PENDANT was certain that nothing had
been sold from the bar on the day in
question. and swore positively that
Wood had not sold drop of whisky or
beer in his place on a Sunday in two
years. ]. F. Inman, who said that he
boarded with Wood, had never seen the
bar open on Sunday and in answer to
a question stated that he was a member
of the Law and Order League.
MI. Colding made a brief argument for
the defense. He said thet it had often
been said that all that was required for
a conviction in a case of larceny was
the niger" He wondered if the prop
osttion that an indictment and saloon
keeper are equal to a conviction, was
going to follow the larceny story. Coun-
sci spoke of this society that is going
around prosecuting people," and declared
that 1.-The saloonman is at the mercy OF
these spoilers" eff spoilers who get
so much per each for convictions are to
be believed, things have come to pref
ty pass" said the attorney.
The testimony of the witnesses for the
state had been positive and was given in
a straightforward manner, and the fury
had no hesitancy in returning the ver-
dict of guilty.

THEY FOUGHT HARD.
fcontinued. from renth Pars.l

ing upon a bed of roses during the day.
They were frightened and had asked for
protection. This was given them at the
Court House, and while they feared moth
ing there, they were inclined to believe
that they would not be treated with the
proper respect on the street.
At the afternoon session the witnesses
were scattered and the state was in no
position to get them together. One star
witness had been lost outright during the
morning, and a note from him to At
torney Wilson showed that some one had
been talking 10 him. The witness was
]. c. Cummings. colored, who testified in
the Degnan case. recess of thirty min
utes> was taken between the hearing of
that case. in the morning, and the Nc
Cormick case, and at the latter trial
Cummings was not on hand, and the
state went in the case with only one
witness.
In each of the cases heard there were
frequent amusing and interesting Incl
dents and those who watched the cases
as they progressed were satisfied with the
entertainment given. The hardest fight
of the day was made in the case against
the Greek and when the verdict of guilty
was returned Attorney Cannn announced
that he would move for a new trial.

CRAYON ARTIST RATIFIED.
Chief Witness Against Degnan Fell
Down on the State.

Chief witness Against Degnan Fell
Down on the State.
Daniel Degnan was represented by w.
C. Hartridge and r. L. Colding and was
charged with having his place open on
June %. The testimony of NJ. c. Lovett,
the chief witness for the State, was really
amusing. and when Mr.. Hartridge had
concluded the cross-examination the wit
ness looked like thirty cents" Lovett
artist. Counsel was of the opinion that
the display made by Lovett on the stand
was "a picture no artist can paint"
Artist Lovett, with his mannerisms, de-
clared that he had purchased soda-water
in Degnan's place on the Sunday named
in the indictment He was with Two
other men. The negro admitted that he
went there for the purpose of getting evil
dence against the saloonman, and said
that he knew the place was DegnanS be-
cause he had been told so before he went
there He didn't know much about Chat
ham county and did not know what coun-
~ Thunderbolt is in.
Lovett denied that he was being paid
for his work and stated that he was not
even under any expectations" He scorn-
fully denied that he was a detective and
declared that he was simply a man who
protests against such doings on Sundays
The witness declared that he had not
been promised anything for his services.
but that he had been provided with the
necessary means to get in. He had very
little over that amount He stated that
he didn't work by the day. but by chance.
and that he does not do art work on Sun
days.
The witness did not know the defen-
dsnt and could tell very little of the place
or location. lie was badly ratified oy
counsel for the defense and in a fit OF
desperation said IF that's Mr.. Degnan
saw him"
j. w. Cummings, also colored. was no
more competent as a witness and only
knew thae he had bought a drink in Deg
nan's place on the night in question.
Counsel moved that the case be thrown
out because the Indictment alleged the
Sabbath day, and the witness swore the
act was committed on the Sabbath night.
The motion was promptly overrued by
the court. Cummings thought that the
defendant served the drinks. but he had
nothing upon which to base his opinion.
The solicitor probably saw the hopeless
ness OF mis- case and made no argument
The verdict OF not guilty was returned
oo the first ballot taken.

Members Preparing for n Big Time
on July 10.
All arrangements for the picnic which
the Catholic Library Association will give
at Tybee on July 10 have been made, and
the indications are that 1t will be a
pleasant and successful affair.
The picnic will be held at Bohan's
South End Pavilion. and the music will
be particularly fine on this day and night,
so that dancing can be indulged in to its
utmost. The tide will suit for bathing
In the afternoon.
Besides the regular schedule of trains
the association has arranged with the
Central Railway for a late train having
the island at II O'clock, city time. to ac-
commodate those who wish to remain
late.
The members Of the Library are work
ing hard to make their picnic a success
and. with the large membership. and their
popularity. there Is hardly doubt that
il will be one OF the largest and most
pleasant OF this season.

PROSPECT ron BASEBALL.
Lively Interest in C. L. A. and OsIc-
thorpe Light Infantry's Game.

Lively Interest in C. L. A. and OsIc-
thorpe Light Infantry's Game.
Interest in baseball is taking on a live
ly color and 1t is very likely that there
will be some good games between the To-
cal amateur teams and perhaps with
out-of-town clubs during the summer
months.
Catholic Library Association and the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry is being
much talked about and there is large
amount of interest felt in the game.
Both teams are practicing every after
non and the players are gradually getting
in good shape. AS both organizations are
very popular and the game will be a good
one OF its merits there ought to be a
big crowd in attendance and there is
hardly a doubt that there will. The game
will be called at 4:3O o'clock and a COM
petent umpire will officiate.
O'Connor and McAvoy will be the bat
terry for the Oglethorpes and II is I'M
derstood that young Frank Mcintyre will
be on the bench in case another twirler
should be needed Mcintyre has Just re-
turned from college where he played on
his team and made a splendid record.
Swinton King will be In the box for
the Library boys and Dan Charlton will
care for the backstop. Among others who
will play with the c. L. A. are Nose
Smith. Downey. Charlie Schley. Jim Sui
Ivan, Joe Kelly and probably Jim Nc
lntyre and Powers.
Now that the Y. NJ. c. A. has organized
a team it is likely that series OF games
between the three teams will be arranged.
1t is said that both Augusta and Waynes-
boro would like to come to Savannah for
several games. The Sumter Guards of
Charleston wanted a team from Savannah
TO go to Charleston for the Fourth, but
they would not offer any sort of a guar
antee.
