MATTERS FOR JURY's ATTENTION.

of Davis Mungin. Who Is Now I'm

dictment Against Him Needed to
Support Demand for ENtrhditiOn.
Willie Calvin. Slayer of Rosa Pace.
Also to BE Presented to Grand
Jury-Tom GnIlishaw, WOuId-Be
Desperate. Charged with Assault
with Intent 10 Murder.
The indictment against Lewis White
for the murder of David Mungin will
rot be the only one considered at the
special session of the Grand Jury of the
Superior Court to be held tomorrow
afternoon. Although this murder case
and the necessity of immediate action
it presents moved Judge Barrow to call
the special session. there is a second
murder case, besides several others Of
less Importance, to receive the consid-
Grafton of the Grand Jury.
AS announced in the Morning News
yesterday, White is now under arrest
sirable to have an indictment returned
before the request for extraditiOn is
made on the Governor of Pennsylvania.
1t was for this reason that Judge Bar
row called the Grand Jury together
but it was thought wise to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to present
other prisoners, now in Jail, for indict-
ment.
The second murder the Grand Jury
will investigate is that of Rosa Pace,
who was killed by Willie Calvin on tho
night of Sept 8. The man and woman
had been living together. and Calvin
seems to have killed his Daramour in
a fit of Jealous rage. He used razor
to accomplish his bloody work, and the
woman's head was almost completely
severed from her body.
The homicide was committed at Sun
nyside, the suburb just south of the
city, into which the old army hospital
buildings were transformed.
WOuId-Be Desperate.
Tom Gallishaw will be presented to
the grand jury for assault with intent
TO murder, and there is little or no
doubt that an indictment for this Of
Tense will be returned. The specific Of
tense with which he is to be charged
before the grand jury is an assault
with intent to murder James Thomp-
son. Thompson was guest at a ne
gro dance at Isle of Hope, and CALI
shaw, standing outside the door, shot
into the ruck. 1t was thought for a
time that Thompson would lose his leg
as a result of the wound he then re-
ceived.
For some weeks afterwards CALI
shaw was the occasion of a perfect
reign of terror at Isle of Hope and
other places along the salts. He had
the negroes frightened within an inch
of their lives, so that they were afraid
either to refuse him shelter, food and
assistance, when he desired help, or
to give an information as to his where
abouts to the county authorities On
one occasion he stall1ed for an entire
afternoon up and down the bluff at
Montgomery, drunk and defiant, firing
his rife into the air and threatening
to shoot everybody he met.
The wOuld-be desperate was finally
located in a house on one of the ISL
ands near Montgomery and was cap
tured by Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny
and party of officers. He was sur
rounded and forced to throw up his
hands before he knew what had hap
pened and without being allowed to
make good his boast that he would not
be captured alive.
In addition, the grand jury will in
Vestigate the case against Robert An
derson, who is said to have committed
a criminal assault upon Annie King. a
little negro girl at Sunnyside. The
evidence against Anderson is said to
be strong.
Arson to Conceal Theft.
Against Martha Hill formerly a do
mestic in the employ of A. F. Church
ILL., two charges await the investisa-
ton of the grand jury. The woman
stole silk skirt worth $65 from Mrs
Churchill and to cover up this crime
is said to have attempted to burn
down the Churchill residence. If the
evidence adduced before the grand
jury supports these charges she win he
indicted for larceny from the house of
goods over the value of $50, which is in
itself penitentiary offense, and for
attempted arson.
A half dozen other cases are also to
De submitted to the grand jury. so
tnat II will have plenty of business to
absorb its attention. Solicitor Cen
eral osborne is not in the city. and
the cases will be presented and the
witnesses before the grand Jury exam
ahed by Il. L. Colding, solicitor gen
eral protein.
The next petit jury OF the Superior
court Will appear on Monday. Oct. 90
and on that day the trial of the cases
IN which indictments will be returned
tomorrow will probably begin.
