MAY BE MURDERER.
Highway RObbcr Cox Now Charged
with Killing Man.

For a murder committed in Column
bia. S. c., about two years ago. it is
alleged Lewis Cox, a pris1&er in the
county jail. is wanted. The identity
of the prisoner was discovered yester-
day, but he refused to have anything
to say about the charge.
Cox was arrested on Friday by Pa
trolman Jernigan, on a charge of high
way robbery, and was later remanded
for trial in the Superior Court by Re-
corder Myrick. At the point of a re-
volver, it is charged. he held up and
relieved a countryman of $25. Patrol
man Jernigan was informed yesterday
that Cox is badly wanted in Columbia,
and he requested the solicitor general
to refuse to accept bail for the appear
ance of the prisoner.
The patrolman was informed that
Cox killed a man in a Columbia dis
pensary and escaped through the rear.
He cut his victim to DEATH according
to the story told the officer and re-
ward of $500 was offered for his ap-
prehension. 1t is claimed that Cox
travelled with Sells Bros. circus, and
knocked about the country until a few
weeks ago. when he came to Savannah
and showed up around the High Life"
on Broughton street. A description of
the prisoner will be taken this morning
and sent to the authorities at Column
bia

ASYLUM HIS HAVEN
MURDERER ASHBY MAY BE SENT
THERE FOR TREATMENT.
PRISONER is STILL MUM.
HE WOULD BE OF NO SERVICE AT
CONVICT CAMP.

His Cousin From Boston Insists That
He is an IdiOt-If This Is True He
Cannot BE Made to suffer Under
the Law-SpecIaI Lunacy Commits
sion May BE Summoned to Try the
Issue-If Ashby Is Demented He
Would BE Sent to an Asylum Until
Cured and Would Then Begin His
Endless Sentence-His Cousin
Thinks That He VIII Die in the
Asylum.
1t may be that Louis NJ. Ashby, con-
victed of the murder of his wife on
Sept. 20, last, will be sent to the say
lum for the insane at Milledgeville in
stead of one of the state convict camps.
While the question has not yet been
determined it is not at all improbable
that this course will be followed.
The Boston cousin of the prisoner in
sists that he is insane and that he
should not be made to suffer when in
such condition. Under the law, if
Ashby is at this time of unsound mind
he cannot be punished, even if he were
responsible at the time of the commits
sion of the crime. If he is insane at
this time he must be sent to an asy-
lum for treatment and only in the
event of his recovery can he be treated
as a criminal.
Ashbys cousin still insists that he
is demented and that he should not be
made to suffer. 1t is her purpose to re-
homo hut laa vii,
she will take some steps towards hav-
ing Ashby sent to Milledgeville. 1t
may be that a special commission will
be summoned to enquire into his san
ity, and that the question will be dis
posed of at a special hearing. If this
course is followed it is probable that
much of the testimony gone over at
the trial of the murder case will be re-
peated, and that psychiatry will again
play part in the happenings.
Ashby has not changed in the least
since the verdict of the jury was rem
dered and continues to act the part of
an idiot Every effort to induce him
to talk yesterday was unsuccessful and
he acted as he did before his trial.
If the murder caused the prisoner to
lose his reason, and he is really in
sane al this time, he will probably
be taken care of by the state at some
ploCc OlHel lHdH one Oh the convict
camps. Certainly in his present con-
dition the authorities could not hope
to get him to perform any duties. His
cousin does not believe that he will
ever serve a day of his time. She is
of the opinion that he has completely
lost his reason and that he will die
while in charge of the state She
says that one of Ashby's aunts died
in an asylum for the insane and turned
a certificate to that effect over to
her counsel Judge Twiggs.
She continues to condemn the
solicitor general for his attack upon
her, and stated yesterday that it is
her intention to send to her counsel
documentary evidence to prove the cor
rectness of every assertion she made
upon the stand. 1t is her desire to
have the prosecuting attorney see one
of the letters which her uncle, the
father of the prisoner. wrote to her.

NEW ELDERS AND DEAc0NS.
Added to Officers of Independent
Presbyterian Church.

At the morning services at the Inde-
pendent Presbyterian Church yester-
day, the pastor, Rev>Dr. Fair, preach
ed upon the subject if "Burden-bear-
iEg" His text being Numbers 4:19:
Appoint them every one to his serv-
ice and his burden"
''The text" said DR.. Fair, referred
to the Kohathites. The great march to
the Promised Land had begun. Moses
proceeded to organize the inchoate
mass into unity, and assign to each his
duty. Some We're to minister at the al
tar, some to wear armor and fight bat
ties, some to act as Judges, and some
to bear burdens.
OF this last class were the Kohathites
and the specific task assigned to them
was TO carry the detached portions of
the tabernacle. This may have seemed
a hard and humble work, but it was
most important. They bore the ark
of the testimony of the Lord When
the wonderful journey was finished, the
tabernacle was set up intact and com
plete in the Holy Land. as the result
or their faithful service. The taberna-
Gle grew into the temple around which
the religious life of the Hebrews and of
the world revolved. The battles ceased
ana the sword was laid aside, but the
tabernacle remained, and its influence
entered into the ages for the uplift and
helping of the race.
SO in the church" said DIR. Fair,
each one Is to be a helper and burden
bearer. A part of church work de-
wolves on each member, and every one
should take part and do his share
w hen temporal things shall have pass
ed away, that for which the Church of
Christ stands, will remain. Its work
IS to build the completed Temple of
Humanity, to usher in the kingdom of
righteousness and peace"
Immediately after the service. a
meeting of the congrega tion was held
to elect elders and deacons The
terms of office of MeSsrs. d. r. Thom-
as and G. NJ. Gilbert having expired,
they were reelected. and four addi-
tional elders were elected as follows:
Messrs. r. NJ. Butler, j. M Hull, w.
5. Harrison and James Wilson.
The terms of office of Messrs. c. G.
Bell and r. G. Kreeger as deacons
having expired, they also were re-
elected. and Messrs. Randolph Axson.
Jr., and L. Newell Turner were added
to the diaconate. 1t is expected that
all of the newly elected officers will ac-
cept and their ordination will prob
ably take place next Sunday morning.
The music was. as usual very fine.
Prof. Wiegand, the new organist at
this church, gives great satisfaction.

DECISION EXPECTED TO-DAY.
Judge Speer VIII Probably Render
Decision on the Demurrer.


It is generally expected that Judge
Speer will render his decision upon the
question presented by the governments
demurrer to the pleas in abatement of
the defendants in the Greene-G -Gaynor
trial. in the United States District
Court this morning. The concurrence
of legal opinion is to the effect that
the demurrer win be sustained and the
pleas in abatement overruled.
1t is known, as a matter of course,
that Judge Speer has been giving the
questions submitted to him in the
arguments of counsel and presented in
the pleadings his close and careful at
rention. 1t is believed that he will dis
cuss these quest tions at some length in
the decision he will render upon the
pleas in abatement and the govern
mept's demurrer thereto.
The prevailing impression in the
minds of those skilled in the law is
that the pleas viii be overruled pTin-
cipally on the ground that, in the ma
jority of cases, the objections made to
the indictment are on technical mat
ters of form that do not commend
themselves to the judicial discretion OF
the court and that in whatever case
the objections would have been good if
pleaded promptly, the defendants have
lost their right to make them by their
delay and their failure to appear in
court in seasonable time after their
indictment, and by their long and des-
perate resistance to the efforts of the
government TO bring them back to
Georgia.
This idea of what Judge Speer will
decide is surmised purely, based upon
the opinions prevailing among lawyers
as to the weight Of the defendants
pleas in abatement. 1t is not even
known that any opinion at all will be
fled to-day though this is the expec-
tation; it may be that Judge Speer
will delay deciding the questions sub
mitted to him until Tomorrow
PENDING the decision of the court the
defendants. who are under bond, have
been instructed to keep within the linn
its of Chatham county. In case Judge
Speer should overrule the demurrer of
the government and sustain the pleas
in abatement the trial will be ended
and the defendants given their liberty.
FOR the reasons above stated it is not
regarded as likely or probable that this
win be done.
Tomorrow will make the seventeenth
anniversary of Judge Speer's accession
to the bench of the District Court, over
which tribunal he has since presided
with such distinguished ability. on this
occasion it is undoubted that Judge
Speer will be the recipient of many
earnest and sincere evidences of the
appreciation in which his services are
held by the members of the Savannah
bar

BEGIN IN THE SPRING.
Renewed Efforts to Collect Funds
for OgIethOrpe Monument.


The movement to erect in Savannah
a monument to the memory-of Gen
James Oglethorpe. the founder of the
colony of Georgia, has latterly become
quiescent. The various patriotic So
cieties by which it was fostered seem
to be doing but little to hasten it's con-
summation.
Mr.. Walter, G.. Charlton. chairman
of the joint committee having the col
lection of funds in charge, said yes
terday that an active campaign to
solicit subscriptions for the monument
would be inaugurated when the state
convention of the Colonial Danes met
in Savannah during the spring, at
which time he would report to them
the present financial condition of the
organization. This condition. said Mr..
Charlton, is bad. The committee has
not on hand sufficient funds with
which to meet current expenses.
When the effort to collect funds for
begun it will be Systematically pur-
sued. The several societies interested
in the project have each funds on hand
to be devoted to this purpose and it
is hoped and believed these will be
largely augmented without great diff
Guilty. The intention is to erect such
memorial to the virtues of Gen.
Oglethorpe as will in some part evince
the states appreciation of the debt of
gratitude which is due him.

INTEREST IN CHARLESTON TRIP.
VIII Insure Large Attendance at
Military Meetings To-night

The meetings of the six local COM
panies of the First Regiment, Infan-
try. of the four companies of the Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards and of the
Chatham Artillery will probably be
largely attended. tonight, as the
Charleston trip, to be taken by those
commands the latter part of the week,
has aroused an interest among the
members that is constantly expand
ing. Plans for the trip will be dis
cussed, and there will be drills for
the further perfection of the men in
the movements and maneuvers
through which it may be expected that
they will be put while in Charleston.
AS the days pass it is found that
greater numbers will make up the va
rious companies than had been ex-
pected. The approach of Friday, the
day of departure, will it is thought
alter the determinations of many of
those who had decided that they could
not take the trip, and it is believed
that the company commanders will
be receiving notices to the effect that
men will go whom they had feared
would be left behind.

The event of principal interest and
Importance in the Superior Court this
week will take place on Thursday,
when w. H. Dortic will be placed on
trial for the murder of Jack Deegan.
The trial Will surpass in public inter-
est the recently concluded Ashby muir

The manner in which Deegan met his
death attracted wide public interest,
and there is a difference of opinion
throught the city as to the degree
of Dortic's guilt Many contend he was
entirely justified, while others de-
nounce his act as a cruel and vindic-
tive murder.
Among those with whom they asso-
ciated both men were widely known
and the trial will take place, it is as
sured, in a packed court room. Messrs

Ashby, will also appear for Dortic

RumOr That Northwestern Steam
ship Line VIII BE Discontinued,
Denied.

That the Northwestern Steamship
Company would discontinue it's SER
vice between Savannah and New York,
was rumor that was current on the,
street yesterday. The company estab-
lished it's line between this port and
New York only last November, and
since that time has been doing a busi-
ness in lumber carrying entirely.
Mr.. G.. w. Howard, the Sava4nah
agent of the company, was seen rela-
tive to the rumor. He stated that so
far as he knew there is absolutely no
truth in 1t. He has not been notified
he said either of a discontinuance Of
the line or even of a change of sched-
ule, except that one of the company s
steamers having been damaged in an
accident some time ago, may be late
cause of the necessity of making re-
pairs.
Further Mr.. Howard can see no rea-
son for the starting of such story be-
cause. he says, the line, since it's es-
tablishment has done an excellent
business, each ship, except the last
carrying a full cargo, in many IN
stances being unable to take aboard
all the lumber offered. The last ship
went a little light, he continued. be-
cause of the fact that the railroads
were unable to deliver on time a large
amount of lumber for which space in
the ship had been secured
