$1,000 FROM CAR LINE.

Canadian Dime the Cause of Two
Damage Suits for $1,000 Each.
An attempt to pass a Canadian dime
on a trolley car conductor, and Incl
dents that followed, has caused the
fling of two suits in the City Court
against the Savannah Electric Co. The
amount of damages asked for in each
case is $1,000.
The plaintiffs are L. o. Barclay and
r. l.. Haywood, both represented by
Twiggs & oliver. The allegations con-
tanned in the petitions are the same.
The men set forth that they had %
cents when they boarded a car and
that in change a conductor rendered
them the Canadian piece and a nickle.
The I'VE cent piece was spent and the
plaintiffs boarded another car.
They aver that they rendered the
piece of foreign money in payment for
their fare and that it was refused by
the conductor of the car. 1t was all
the money that they possessed and in
asmuch as it had been given them by
a servant of the company. as they
allege, they had an argument. They
We're ridden on the car without charge
to police headquarters where charges

Then they were assigned to a cell in

release when arranged before Recorder
Myrick on the following morning.
These things wounded their pride TO

HAD TRICK KNIVES.
Negroes Charged by Detectives With
Highway Robbery.

Highway Robbery.
Believed to be guilty OF highway
robbery and other crimes. Dorsey De
lancey and Taylor Thompson, two ne
groes we'll known in police circles,
were arrested yesterday morning by
Detectives Murphy and Wall.
Both men have been under arrest
before and are known to the police as
fly negro crooks who, have done
smooth work. When searched a trick
knife and the genuine article were
found on Thompson. and bunch
of Confederate money was found
on Delaney. They were arrest
ed at different times, but the detec-
tives say they have been working to-
gether. 1t requires two men to work
the knife game as well as the double
lock- SO card trick, and various other
schemes used for separating the ig-
norant from their money.
The detectives say that the negroes
answer the descriptions furnished by
Nat Aiken. a Ridgeland negro, who
was held up and robbed near the
Plant System depot Tuesday night.
Aiken was held by two men and
gold watch forcibly taken from him.
He reported his loss at police head
quarters Immediately, and was able
to give the detectives a full descrip-
ton of the highwaymen. They felt
sure that the crime was committed by
DelaT cey and Thompson. but were I'M
able to locate those individuals until
yesterday. The men deny that they
are guilty of the robbery and Aiken
has been sent for.
The knives used in working the game
l.
with a spring. They are identical in
appearance. the only difference besng
that one spring works, and the other
is false one. the detectives say that
Thomson operated the knives and that
Delaney. who acted the part of cap
per would butt i'm with his roll of
Confederate money and do the betting.
The knife would be readily opened with
the spring by Thomson and a wager
would be made with the victim that he
couldn't repeat the performance. He
would be permitted to try and would
succeed. When the bet was made,
however, the knives would be switched
and the one with the false spring
would be clutched at frantically by the
victim.
The negro Delaney is a spotter and
has been in trouble upon innumerable
occasions. He is considered much
smoother than the average negro, and
in some way invariably manages to
slip out of his scrapes. Thompson is
also considered a shrewd one and the
detectives say that they make up the
cleverest pair that has been operating
in Savannah in a long while. Only re-
Gently Delaney was fined in Police
Court for attempting to cut a mer-
chant from whom he had stolen, and
was also remanded for trial in the
City Court for the theft. The detec-
tives are anxious to have Delaney and
Thompson put away where they can do
no harm.
