TO SOLVE MYSTERY
MRS. LEWIS FRIENDS WANT AN IN
VESTIGATION.
NO INQUEST HELD YET.
MAYOR LAGREE OF BURROUGHS AT
WORK ON THE CASE.

violent Death of Mrs. Levi at Her
Store at Burroughs station Not to
Go by UnnOticed-She Was Assault
ed About Six Years Ago and the
Negro RObbcr Was Given Fifteen
Yenrs-Her Life Was i'm Danger
More Than Once, and Her Friends
Had Advised Her to Move to the
City-Her Husband Died Six
Months Ago ana Administrator
Employed Man to Remain With
Widow in the StOre-White Man
Assaulted Saturday.
There were no develoments yesterday
in the death of Mrs. l.. Levi, who was
found in a dying condition in her
store at Burroughs Station on Friday.
Coroner Keller has not called for an
inquest and the only official investiga-
ton of the supposed murder is being
made by Mayor Lagree of Burroughs.
1t is generally believed that Mrs. Levi
was murdered, and some of her friends
in Savannah said last night that they
will ask for an inquest to-day.
County, Detective Charlton is engag
ed on cases in the city and wrote May
or Lagree asking him to make a COM
plete investigation of the alleged fatal
assault upon Mrs. Levi. The Mayor
of the little town always goes to the
bottom of crimes committed in his
bailiwick and seldom fails to make an
arrest. A report will probably be re-
ceived from him within the next few
days and upon the information OBJ
ficers will act.
Mrs. Lewis son-in-law and grand
daughter are expected from Meridian,
Miss, to-day, and no stone will be left
unturned in an effort to fathom the
mystery surrounding the death of Mrs.
Levi. She was we'll known to Mr.. B.
NJ. Garfunkers family and they ad-
vised her several weeks ago to move to
the city before her life was taken. She
stated her intention of doing so. but
did not seem able to make up her mind
to leave a place where she had been
living for several years.
Mrs. Levi came to Savannah about
twenty years ago with her husband,
who died at Burroughs six months ago.
She insisted on continuing her hus-
bands business and the administrator
of the estate employed a man to re-
main with her continually. He stated
yesterday that he had been unable to
learn where the hired guardian was
when Mrs. Levi was assaulted.
Patrolman Harmon Miller and his
father-in-law, who lives in the Bur
roughs section of the county, arrested
a negro who assaulted Mrs. Levi about
six years ago. The man who beat her
robbed the place and was sentenced to
serve Is years in the penitentiary. Of
ficer Miller's brother-in-law came to
the city from Burroughs yesterday and
reported another assault that was
committed on Saturday. A white man
called Rags was visited by several ne
groes and badly beaten. The admins
traitor of the Levi estate said that the
man employed by him was called Rags
and 1t may be that the assault COM
mitted was in some manner connected
with the murder of Mrs. Levi. Fur
ther developments are expected to-day.
The funeral of Mrs. Levi took place
yesterday afternoon from Undertaken
Hendersons place on Drayton and Hull
streets, and was attended by friends
and members of the Synagogue B'nai
Birth Jacob. The interment was in
Laurel Grove Cemetery.

CARRIED SPOTTER AWAY.
Dorsey Delaney Turned Over to
South Carolina Sheriff.

Dorsey Delaney, the well-known ne
gro spotter, was taken to Beaufort, S.
c., yesterday by Sheriff Jenkins, and
will have to answer a charge of as
sault with intent to murder at that
place. Delaney is charged with hav-
ing shot another negro on an excursion
boat as it was leaving Beaufort sew
eral weeks ago. He refused to return
for trial without requisition papers,
and the South Carolina officers were
delayed somewhat in getting the re-
quired papers.
While the South Carolina authori-
ties were arranging for the requisition
papers Delaney was arrested on a
warrant charging him with assault
with intent to murder in this city. The
warrant was issued from a magis-
trate's court by Savannah negro. and
the spotter furnished bail. Early yes
terday morning he was arrested on a
charge of drunkenness and was taken
from the station house by Sheriff Jen-
kins. Delaney was on board the
steamer Clifton with Sheriff Jenkins
before his Savannah friends learned of
his arrest, and then it was too late
for them to act. 1t is denied here that
Delancey did the shooting.

door, was cut on the right thumb in
separating the men.
Mulligan's wife runs the place and
Maxwell is a boarder. Both men
work on the wharves, and were engag-
ed in loading a steamer with cotton
yesterday. Mulligan had gone to his
room and Maxwell was eating his din
ner downstairs when he became en-
gagged in a difficulty with a woman
employed as a waitress in the place.
Mulligan ran downstairs to learn the
trouble, and was struck just over the
left eye with a plate. Then 1t was
that the real fight began, and the air
was thick with crockery. Maxwell was
cut in half a dozen places and the
floor was sprinkled with blood when
Patrolman Umbach, who was off duty
arrived.
The officer was cut with a broken
pitcher before he could get the men
apart, and the room looked like cy-
clone had struck it when Patrolman B.
w. Williams arrived. Both the colored
ambulance and the patrol wagon were
summoned, and Detectives Stark and
Murphy hurried to the place along with
County Detective Charlton. Maxwell
was sent to the police station house
where he was charged with assaulting
Mulligan. He furnished a cash bond in
the sum of 800 for his appearance in
Police Court, and both men had their
wounds dressed. 1t required several
stitches to close the gaps. The fight
created considerable excitement in
Yamacraw, and the ambulance and
wagon attracted considerable attention
as they answered the call together.

Little Improved Conditions.

Because of the heat yesterday many
people, despite the threatening weather,
made the trip to out of town resorts,
especially to Thunderbolt, where five or
six hundred gathered to enjoy the con-

But the day was not an enjoyable one
at the resorts any more than it was in
the city, for at Thunderbolt, until quite
late in the afternoon, the atmosphere
was murky, there was absolutely no

much in evidence. Later in the after.
