BURGLAR IDENTIFIED.
Police Believe He Committed Most
of the Recent Robberies.

Positively identified by Patrolman
Jernigan. who emptied his revolver
in an effort to stop him, William Hen
ry, a negro road hustler we'll known
in police circles. was yesterday re-
manded for trial in the Superior Court
by Recorder Myrick on a charge of at
tempted burglary. The officer swOre
that the negro was attempting to en-
ter house in Mysterious Row." on
Liberty street, near Price, when he
opened fire on him.
Henry was arrested by County De-
tective Charlton two days after the
shooting on Liberty street, and denied
positively that he was the man at
whom Jernigan had fired. The patrol
man swore that he could not be mis-
taken in his man, although the pris-
oner stoutly protested his innocence.
Several burglaries have been COM
mitted in the eastern section of the
city recently, and Henry answers the
description of the burglar in every
case where he was seen. While the
police do not believe and do not assert
that he is responsible for every bur-
glary that has been committed recently,
they do assert that it is quite probable
that Henry is guilty of the majority
of them.
The police say that in those cases
reported at headquarters the com
plants showed that only money was
taken and very little of that. the bur
glar making a water-haul in several
of the stores that he visited In the
opinion OF the officers there has only
been one man who has been making
early morning searches for money
and the only chance of his apprehen-
sion would be to catch him in the act
superintendent Reilly says that in the
cases where the burglar got away
with anything it could not be identi-
fed and his manner of entering
through the rear of buildings made his
work in a large degree safe from out
side interference.
superintendent Reilly states that
only one burglary has been reported
from the East Side since the arrest of
the negro Henry and that the culprit
in the single case is under suspicion
The man was locked in the store of
H. Schroeder, on Broughtcn and Hab-
ersham streets, and did not break in
He was discovered by Patrolman
Clancy early Friday morning a mo-
ment after he left the brocery. The
burglar had a half dozen half-pint
TASKS of whisky and carried a basket
The officer called upon the negro to
halt and when he ran emptied his
his revolver at the man. The shots
flew wide of their mark and the burg
lar dropped his plumber and escaped
This occurred after the arrest of
Henry and the thief could not have
been that individual. That the man at
whom Officer Clancy shot is not the
same one who had been at work for
some time is shown by the manner in
which the robbery was committed The
negro permitted himself to be locked
in the store and did not break in. Sew
eral days ago Superintendent Reilly is
sued strict orders to his men to arrest
all suspicious negroes found on the
street and a member of the detective
force has been on constant night vigil
for week past. Quite a number of
suspicious characters have been arrest
ed and those who could not account for
their presence on the street were sent
to the chaingang by Recorder Myrick

AT A WEEKS INTERVAL.
The Ashby and Dortic Murder Cases
VIII Re Tried.

VIII Re Tried.
The two most important murder cases
now awaiting trial in the Superior
Court have been assigned for trial in
February, by agreement of counsel.
Lewis Mord Ashby will be tried for the
murder of his wife on Thursday, Feb.
10, and w. H. Dortic, for the murder
of John A. Deegan. Thursday, Feb. 90
The firm of Twiggs & oliver repre-
sents both defendants, and yesterday
Judge Twiggs and Solicitor General Cs-
borne got together and agreed upon the
two days upon which the cases will be
tried. The formal assignment has not
yet been made; Il will be made, with
the consent of Judge Barrow, when
court convenes this morning.
Both cases have attracted wide at
tention. The murder of his Wife by
Ashby was one of the most cruel and
revolving crimes committed in Savan-
nah in many years, and the only posi-
BILE excuse for Il was that which the
mans counsel will urge in his behalf
at the trial-that he was crazy when
he fired the fatal shots.
The fatal wounding and subsequent
death of Deegan are events that ere
fresh in the public mind. There is a
wide difference OF opinion as the extent
of the culpabilty of the slayer, some
saying he Is guilty of murder. while
others contend he was justified in
everything he did.

M0TORMAN Ex0NERATED.
CorOner's Jury Found williams
Death Due to own CareIessness.

In less than half an hour the kill
ing of Charlie Williams, a negro la
borer, by trolley car No. II, on Jones
and Barnard streets, Saturday night
was Investigated by a coroner's jury,
and Motorman Street was exonerated.
Only two witnesses to the accident were
heard at the inquest at police head
quarters last night.
Some half-dozen witnesses had been
summoned, but the jury decided, after
hearing the testimony of r. w. West
colt and Deputy Sheriff Charles Fen
nell that to go any further into the
investigation would only be a needless
waste of time. Mr.. Westcott testified
that he was about to board the car
when the accident occurred and that
the motorman could not have possibly
avoided it. The negro was on the left
hand side of Jones street, riding west,
and according to the witness lost his
head and suddenly went directly under
the car.
Deputy Fennell made a similar state
ment and was positive that Williams
had been riding on the extreme left
of the street. All of those who wit
messed the tragedy agreed as to the
manner in which Williams met his
death. Both the motorman and con-
ductor were present at the inquest, but
their testimony was not taken. The
verdict of the jury was that the death
of Williams was due to his own care
lessneSS.

Locate Runaway.

Withered with age and visibly dis
tressed. n lady called upon Supt Reilly
yesterday to report that her year-old
grandson had without cause disap-
peared from home. With a voice that

she invoked the aid of the police in To-
eating her missing grand-child.
She had no suspicion of foul play but
was greatly concerned about his where
abouts. fearing that he might fall into
bad hands and become ruined An
idle rumor that he had gone to New

she repeated the story that she had
heard TO Supt. Reilly. The boy was
home to dinner on Saturday. but has
not been seen since that time.
Bicycle officer Christy was sent 10
the wharves. but could gather no It'd
ings OF the missing youngster. His de-
scription was left with the police and
the tottering grand mother returned to
her home 10 wait the return OF the tru.
ant. Supt Reilly notified his men 10
