CASE NOW RESTS WITH JURY.
w. A. Howell Denies All CriminnIi-
ty in Connection With WaycrOss
Car RObberies.


Car RObberies.
Waycross. Ga, April 30.-The case of
the state against w. a. Howell
charged with car robbery was resumed
in the Superior Court this morning.
The defense introduced no evidence ex-
cepting the statement of the defendant
He stated that he had been a resident
of Waycross about thirteen years.
That when he came here he was worth
about three or four hundred dollars.
He had worked for the Plant System
for $45 per month the greater part of
the time since mis- residence in Way
cross. After a residence of two years
in Waycross he got married, and that
by the Strictest economy his wife and
himself had saved enough money to
buy them a home and in addition one
or two building lots. He said he had
made some good trades and had
worked hard for everything he had
and paid for it. He told of the visit
of the detectives, Cobb and Shannon,
to his home, and of the manner in
which they searched his premises. He
claimed that was the first time that
any suspicion had been brought upon
his character in all the thirteen years
residence in Waycross. He charged
the officers with drinking up the
greater part Ol d quart Oh WHISKY
which they found in his house, and
claimed that they had frightened his
invalid wife away from home. He ex-
planned the presence of the cod-fi
box in his home by saying that he had
often picked up empty boxes about the
railroad yard and took them home
with him; that this was one he had
taken home for the purpose of making
a hen nest with it.
Referring to the various articles
found about his premises by the de-
tectives, he stated that he had bought
them all.
Hon. Leon A. Wilson made the open
ing speech for the defense, he was
followed by Hon. w. E. Kay of
Brunswick, and Solicitor John w. Ben
nett for the state. Hon. w. NJ. Toom-
er made the closing speech for the de-
tense. Argument was concluded at
12:15 to-day, when the court took a
recess for dinner. Judge Bennett de-
livered his charge to the jury the first
court, and the jury entered upon a
consideration of the case.
The case of the state versus George
F. Gilbert, who is charged with the
offense of breaking, entering and steal
ing from a Plant System car, was the
next case called. but on account of
the absence of a material witness and
at the request of the lawyers for the
defense, the case was passed until to-
morrow morning.
The case of the state versus John
Lane, charged with assault with at
tempt to murder, was taken up and
consumed the principal part of the
afternoon.

The communication was sent to Mr..

that gentleman thinks there is some
mistake about the matter as he states
that he has not been guilty OF the
offence charged.

COTTON DREDGE HAULED UP.
ROurke's Marine hallway Did II
Easily.

The most important event along the
river front recently was the hauling
out of a huge 6OO-ton dredge yesterday
on Rourke's Marine Railway. The first
craft to come out on the railway dem
onstrated that it is a success from
every standpoint. Mr.. Rourke said last
night that he could haul out the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse if she could be
put upon the carriage.
Il am perfectly satisfied with the
success of my undertaking." said Mr..
Rourke. Every expectation has been
fulfilled, and | feel more confident than
ever before that railway or dry dock
can be built here that will be a great
Improvement for the port. 1 believe it
can be built along the same lines as
the one l have just finished.
THE hauling out of the dredge to-
day was a tedious piece of work, owing
to the fact she was dashed to other
craft, and had to be supported and the
pumps kept constantly going to keep
her above water. With the disadvant-
ages we had it took just an hour and
fiftyfive minutes to lower the carriage,
get the dredge on it and haul her out
high ana dry"
The railway was first operated on
Memorial Day, and Mr.. George Free
man, cashier of the Citizens Bank, had
the honor of starting off the machin-
cry. Mr.. Rourke called Mr.. Freeman
up when everything was in readiness
to start the huge carriage, and direct
ed him to turn a wheel This Mr. Free
man did, and the heavy cables and
mechanism of the railway started off,
Mr.. Rourlle stated after the dredge
was hauled out that he is perfectly
satisfied he can raise any craft that
can be gotten on the railway. Mr..
Rourke's success in his railway un-
dertakng is expected to have some
weight in getting measures through
Council that will enable him to build
a similar railway, but along more ex-
tensive lines, on city land on Hutchin-
sons Island.

one of them she has demonstrated her
ability and her excellence, working side
by side and advancing stride by stride
with man.
To her the great charitable works of
the century are due; from her the great
works of moral reform derive their in
spiration and recruit their strength.
She fights in the forefront of the bat
tie for temperance, she is the leader of
the movement for social purity.
Her place in the political economy of
the future, Mr.. Graves declared, was
the problem of the age. Whether she
would be granted the ballot, in his
opinion, was a question for her to de-
eide. Whenever women unanimously
demand it, it will be theirs. AS to his
own views of the question Mr. Graves
permitted no doubt.
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.
For one man, gentlemen of Geor-
gia, 1 believe in this queen of the
world as others have believed in the
Queen of England and Empress of
the East. The eXpediency of woman
voting may be a question and subject
to debate; of her clear and unalien-
able right to vote there can be none.
God speed the time when there shall
be granted liberty, equality and full
fraternity to the better half of the
human race"
Mr. Graves brought his lecture to a
conclusion with an eloquent tribute to
the influence of woman, which he
pronounced the grandest thing in the
universe. Frequently he had been in
terrupted by laughter and applause,
and he received an ovation as he
closed.
The lecture was given for the bene-
fit of the Libraries in the public schools
of the city, and though the returns
are not all in, it is confidently expect
ed that a generous addition to their
funds will be made

the locality from which the sound
came, but could learn little.
An unknown white man stated to
Sergt. Davis that he saw one white
man running after another and saw
the man in the rear fire two shots. The
officers searched the neighborhood for

MARRIED HER EX-SLAVE.
Strange Union Developed by Case In
South Carolina Court.

Columbia, S. c.. April 3O-In the
Richland County Court, in a suit TO
collect debt from the estate of Ed
Owens, a deceased negro, an effort was
made to show that the widow of the
dead man should have a homestead set
aside from the estate. Just here it de-
Veloped that the widow is a white wo-
man, and so under the law could not
be legally married in South Carolina to
a negro. She married him in Tennes-
see in the year after the war-he had
been her slave-and moved back to Co
lumbia in 1870 and has remained on
farm a few miles from the city ever
since. The judge held that the union
was an illegal one, as viewed by the
state court, and consequently there
was no homestead.
