HOOKER CAUGHT IN MACON.
SLAYER OF JOHN WILLIAMS TO BE
BROUGHT BACK.


COrOner's Jury Returned a Verdict
Charging Hooker With Murder-A
Warrant for His Arrest sworn Out
and Detective Murphy Gone 10 Ma
con After the Nurderer-StOry OF
the Tragedy as Told at the In
quest.
For the murder of John Walter Will
liams in Broughton street lane, in the
rear of the Marshall House. James
Booker, alias Hooker, was arrested yes
tcrday morning in Macon. Detective
Murphy left last night with a warrant
for the fugitive.
Williams was struck in the forehead
with a brick and died as the result of
a fractured skull. When the police
learned of the ARRAY that resulted in
the death of Williams, Booker had
almost "a hours start. The~detectives
learned that the negro came to Savan-
nah from Macon, and Supt. Reilly inn
mediately wired a description of the
fugitive to the chief of police of that
city.
II was believed that Booker had
gone to his home and the message,
notifying the police of his arrest in
Macon, caused no surprise. An in
quest was held in the Police Court
room before Detective Murphy left the
city, and a verdict charging Booker
with murder was returned. The fore
man of the jury, Mr. Marion Lucas
swore out the warrant before Coroner
Keller. and the detective left for Ma
con armed with this paper.
Only two witnesses were examined
at the inquest, and little light was
thrown on the homicide. 1t could not
be ascertained how the trouble. started
and the officers will endeavor to find
further witnesses to the fight thai
caused the death of Williams. Coroner
Keller stated to the jury that Will
liams had died from fracture of the
skull that could have been produced by
a brick
Andrew Woods, negro cook at the
Marshall House, saw Booker throw the
brick, but did not know what the men
had been quarreljng about. He saw
no weapons of any sort In the hands
of Williams and was looking at both
men when Booker used the heavy brick
with which he was armed. Woods
knew nothing more about the trouble
and his testimonysywas confined to the
fact that the blow had been admins
tered by Booker.
John Sanders, negro stable man
employed in Carson's place adjoining
the Marshall House. knew that the
mon had been quarreling just before
the assault, but was unable to tell
what they had been saying. He
testified that they were in
the stable and Williams was
sitting down. Sanders was in front
talking TO woman when his atten-
ton was attracted by loud cursing
He went into the stables and ordered
the men outside and they repaired tc
the lane. Sanders stated that he did
not know what had caused the row
and that he did not witness the as
sault. The cause of the homicide will
hardly be known until Detective Muir

thermometer Fell to 40 Degrees,
hut No Frost Reported.
The temperature at Z o'clock yester-
day morning fell to 40 degrees, pretty
low for this season of the year, and
a point frought with much danger to
truck farmers. whose young plants
could i'll stand a frost now. Forum
ately for the farmers, however, there
was brisk wind all during the night
and this prevented the formation of
frost, at least none was reported to
Local Forecast official B. Boyer.
The maximum temperature for the
day was 81 degrees, which was record
ed at p. m. The mean was "a degrees,
which is II below the normal, and
which gives to the month, thus far, an
accumulated deficiency of heat of A
degrees, and increases the shortage of
the year to date, to 26S degrees.
The drop in temperature was due to
the storm that several days ago was
reported central, over the Gulf Coast.
This disturbance yesterday was re-
ported central over Eastern Pennsyl-
vania so no further effect from it may
be expected in this section. The fore
cast for to-day and tomorrow is for
partly cloudy weather, and a rising
temperature. To-day light variable
winds may be expected.

CUT ACROSS rHE TEMPLE.
Young Girls Engage in bloody
ARRAY.

During a dispute over some childish
trifle Martha Washington, a negro girl
II years old, was seriously cut in the
left temple yesterday in York street
lane, near Price street. The wound
was inflicted by another girl named
Eva Nathan who was arrested by De-
tective Stark.
The wound is particularly ugly one,
and the child would have bled to death,
but for the prompt arrival of a physi-
clan. Several women who witnessed
the fight stated that Martha provoked
the difficulty, and was the aggressor.
1t is claimed by Eva's sister that the
Washington child forced the fighting,
and used her feet with telling effect.
The wounded girl claims that a
broken glass bottle was used in in
ficting the wound. while her assailant
claims that the weapon used was a
stone. The fight between the children
caused great deal of excitement, and
to avoid trouble the mother of Eva
spirited her away to a house on
Broughton street. 1t is doubtful if the
wounded girl will be able to appear in
Police Court this morning when the
case will be called for trial.
