TEN YEARS IN PRISON.
Jake MOuItrie's Sentence for the
Killing of Moses Williams.

Jake Moultrie, who, eighteen months
ago, shot and killed Moses Williams, was
brought before Judge Falllgant, in the
Superior Court, yesterday morning, en-
tered plea of guilty of voluntary man
slaughter, and twas sentenced to spend
the next ten years of his life in the pen
itentiary.
The tragedy occurred in Pannycake
lane, a notorious part of Yamacraw, on
July 2, 1889. MouItrie is, or was, a negro
preacher, and his victim was of the same
race. Williams had formerly lived as
man and wife with the woman in whose
house Moultrie was boarding, and the
couple had had a child.
On a Sunday morning, Williams came to
the house to see his boy, and a quarrel
ensued between him and the woman. 1t
waxed more and more intense and finally
Williams entered the house for the pur-
pose of bringing the child out. AS he
entered the door, Mouitrie shot and killed
him
The slayer started out for the country
soon after the fatal shot was fired, the
negro residents of the neighborhood
standing by with their mouths open while
he walked away from the house in which
the grim deed had been committed. He
was finally captured, however, in cane
brake two or three miles from the city,
by a bowling mob of some two or three
hundred men and boys.
Moultrie was brought back to the city
and lodged in Chatham county jail. The
grand jury of the superior court indicted
him for murder and on Jan. %, 1900, he
was placed on trial for that offense. The
jury that tried his case found him guilty
as charged, but recommended that he
should be punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary for life. This, according
ly, was the punishment imposed by Judge
Falligant.
The case was carried to the Supreme
Court, and there Judge Falligant's decis-
ion, overruling the motion for new trial
made by counsel for the defendant, was
reversed and a new trial granted.
Certainly Moultrie was not anxious to
take any more chances before a jury, and
it is probable that the solicitor geenral
was not convinced that he could adduce
evidence sufficient to warrant a convic-
ton of murder. At any rate Mouitrie
pleaded guilty of voluntary mansIaughter
and Mr.. Osborne accepted the plea. The
sentence of ten years confinement at hard
labor in the penitentiary is half of the
maximum penalty permitted by the law.

MAY BE FIRE MARSHAL.

Talk of Putting Senior Foreman
MOUrO in That Office.
1t was said yesterday by those on the
Inside" that Senior Foreman Mouro Of
the fire department will probably be made
fire marshal and given his buggy back
very shortly. In his annual report Su-
perintendent Mcguire stated that he was
unable to properly perform the duties re-
quired of a fire marshal, and recommend
ed that the office be severed from that of
superintendent of the fire department.
Foreman Mouro was for many years
assistant chief of the department, and
held that office until 1t was abolished. 1t
would seem that the fire committee is in
favor of having him assume the duties
of fire marshal, and that all that is now
needed is the approval of the Mayor.
There is apparently no opposition to the
movement.

WAS HE MURDERED?
Trunk Containing Bank Book Foun"
in Suburbs by Police.


in Suburbs by Police.
There is a trunk at police headquarters
for which the detectives would like to ma
an owner. 1t was found early yesterday
morning south of Best street, between
Mont gomery and West Broad. The lock
had been broken. Beyond bank book
for quite a sum of money there was
nothing of value in the trunk, and the
officers are puzzled to know how 1t came
to be left in the street.
Several letters and the photograph OF
a woman were found with several gar
ments of underwear, and 1t is believed
that the trunk is the property of some
seafaring man. 1t may be that the owner
was foully, dealt with and then robbed,
but this theory is not entertained by the
detectives, who have the matter in hand.
The bank book is on a local bank, and
shows that $40 was taken out less than
two weeks ago. The officers are very anx-
ious to find an owner for the proper ty
and thus break down the foul play theory.

loo Many Newspapers.

The White River Junction land
mark of last week has the following
bit of truth regarding "too many
newspapers" in Vermont.
The newspaper field in Vermont is
now well covered, and new ventures
are hazardous. Outside of the cities,
there are very few places that can
support two weeklies. The chief profit
of a weekly is derived from it's adver-
Using patronage and comparatively
few business men will go to the ex-
pense of advertising in two papers
whose circulation is mainly among
the same class ofpatrons. Conditions
may exist that Justify the experiment
of starting new paper in q COM
munity, and in that case it will in
time build up a good circulation and
advertising list Otherwise, unless
helped out byjob printing, which may
make up DEFICIENCIES in the revenue of
the paper, 1t is q business risk. We
are not given these opinions to dis
courage any of our brethen of the
Vermont press, to all of whom we
wish prosperity, but are simply stat
ing our views'from a practical bust
