Torrance Noble was able to talk yes
terday and was feeling quite sore from
the treatment that he received Tues
day night.
His brother came up from Tybee dur
ing the day, and Noble appeared to be
sorry for having caused so much COM
motion. He was sick from the drug
that he had taken. and was confined to
his room all day. Noble has danced on
broken glass and sharp nails, has eaten
fire and stuck pins in his chest with
out doing his person any great harm,
and those who have seen his freakish
acts were not surprised that the lauda-

Mrs. Noble herself was in the show

known as Queen Bess, a snake charmer.

THREE WOMEN FREE.
They Were Not Proven Guilty OF
Stealing From JeweIer Crooks.

The Baltimore American of Tuesday
says that the three Savannah women
were on Monday acquitted on the
charge of the larceny of three brooches
from Mr.. Charles c. Crooks, AZ West
Baltimore street. on August q. The
case has attracted much attention be-
cause of the refined appearance of the
women and the report that they are
very well connected in Savannah. The
prosecution was conducted by Assist
ant States Attorney Edgar A. Poe,
while the traversers were defended by
M"ssrs. w. r. Leaken, assistant district
attorney at Savannah. who came to
Baltimore for the purpose and was ad-
mitted to practice, and Messrs. George
Whitelock and William F. Campbell.
The jury reached it's verdict of acqult-
tai in less than fifteen minutes.
The first witness was Mr.. Crooks. He
identified a brooch given up by one OF
the women at the Eutaw House as one
of the three he had lost, but on close
questioning by MIR. Campbell admitted
that there were a great many such
brooches made and sold, and that he
had no way of positively Identifying 1t.
He was followed by Detectives Kratz
and Coughlin, who had made the ar
rests, and who testified that they had
been offered q purse, said to contain
$50, and a handsome watch, if they
would let their prisoners off. The only
witness summoned by the defense was
Mr.. Lewis Janowitz, a jeweler at 2l3
East Baltimore street, who testified
that brooches nearly identical in APP
pearance with the one In the possession
of the women were made by from TWEEN
ty-five to fifty firms in various sections.
There were other charges against the
women, but they were settled on the
acquittal in the hrst case.
When they were brought into court
the two widows, were dressed in deep
black, and their faces were tear STAIN
ed. The young girl wore a white hat
and shirtwaist and a gray skirt. She
seemed to bear up better under the
strain than the other two. She is
hardly more than of age and of very
attra ctiYe annearanCe"

WOOD THROUGH SAVANNAH.
Governor General Couldn't Reach
Canton Because of n Washout.

Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood passed
through Savannah at an early hour
this morning, bound for Washington.
He was in his berth when he passed
this city. 1t had been the intention
of the General to go to Canton, O.,
via the Southern Railway from Jesup,
where he left the Plant Systems spe-
cial he had used from Jacksonville He
found, though, that a washout made
1t impossible for him to continue his
Journey and get to Canton in time for
the late Presidents funeral He turn
ed about at Cochran, returning to the
Plant system, and continuing his
northbound journey by that route.
1t was learned from those aboard
the train with Gen. Wood that he was
travelling very simply, being accom-
panied by only one companion, pre-
sumably his secretary. The Governor
General of Cuba was putting on no
frills, and his only desire seemed to
be to reach Canton in time for the
funeral.

BESIDE M'KINLEY'S BIER.
Savannah Party Especially FOrtu-
nate in washington.

Hon. Herman Myers and Col. j. H.
Estill, who accompanied the Savannah
delegation to Washington for the pur-
pose of attending the funeral exercises
at the capital Tuesday of the late
President Mckinley, returned to the
city yesterday at noon, preceding the
other members of the delegation, who
are expected back to-day. Besides the
gentlemen named, the party consisted
of Aldermen James M. Dixon and w. J..
Watson. Hon. Pope Barrow and Capt.
ID. G. Purse.
The party travelled by way of the
Plant System and the Atlantic Coast
Line. Their journey was a most en-
joyable one, and nothing which might
contribute to their comfort was omit
ted. The delegation carried a magnifi-
cent floral tribute in the form of the
seal of the city. On arriving at Wash
ington, Alderman Dixon took charge of
this tribute and delivered it at the
White House, where it was given
prominent place among the many SIM
liar offerings there.
After breakfast the party went to
the White House, where they were re-
ceived by the officials in charge, the
whole delegation being admitted to the
pected good fortune, as it was not an
ticipated that all would be able to Sc.
cure admlttanoe. The Savannahians
had the distinction of being the only
delegation representing a city of Geor-
gia and were the only official represen-
tatives from this state. In fact, Sa-
vannah was one of the few cities of
the United States which was officially
represented.
The delegation was assigned to the
Yellow Room, where the members of
the Supreme Court, senators, represent
tatives, governors of states and their
staffs, and representatives of cities
were assembled. The Savannah party
were given three carriages and were
placed about the center of the process
sion, which moved from the White
House to the Capitol, where they wit
messed the obsequies. Heavy rain fen
during almost the entire day, and the
weather was so disagreeable that
Mayor Myers and Col. Estil decided
to return at once. Messrs. Barrow,
Dixon and Watson remained over an
other day on business.
There was an immense crowd in the
city, and the Capitol and all its APP
proaches were damned. Many of the
official guests were unable to obtain
entrance to the rotunda, where the ex-
ercises were held. In this the SaVan-
nah party We're especially fortunate.

HAD GREEK ARRESTED.
Negro Porter Charged Him with
Larceny of Dime.

A. D. Woodley, Greek fruit dealer,
was arrested yesterday by Patroiman
Reiber for the larceny of 10 cents from
Sam Williams, colored. Williams was
placed under arrest for cursing the
Greek, and the case will be investi-
gated by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court this morning.
1t appears that Williams purchased
cents worth of fruit from Woodley,
and that the trouble occurred in max
ing change. The negro is employed by
j. e. Gutman, and says that he had
40 cents of the merchants money in
his hand, when the Greek gave him IS
cents change after the purchase had
been made. Woodley became ratified
when the money was put together, and
thought that he had given the negro
too much. He took back 10 cents. and
the row started, which resulted in the
arrest of both men,
