ASKS FOR COMP ENSATI0N.
Mr.. w. 5. Coburn Wants Pay for Adj

Mr.. w. $. COburn Wants Pay for Adj
ministerinB Mrs. Aiken's Estate.
William S. Coburn filed in the Court
of Ordinary yesterday a petition for
compensation for services rendered by
him as administrator of the estate of
the late Mrs. Anna P. Aiken. The
administrator wants a fee of $500.
Mr.. Coburn states in his petition to
the court that he was requested to
administer upon the estate by the rela-
tives and heirs of Mrs. Aiken, agree
ing at the time that he would not
charge the regular commission of 21s
per cent, fixed by law for such SER
vices, but would leave his compensa-
ton to be settled at a future date.
He now states the heirs decline to
fix his fee and join in his request that
it be fixed by the court. Under the
legal rate his fee would amount to
$649.21, and he asks that this be re-
duced so as to leave his compensation
$500. He regards this as modest COM
pensation for his services.
William H. Wade filed an application
for letters of administration cum tes-
tamento annexo, upon the estate of the
late Mrs. Frances S. Way. Mr. Ed
ward J. Thomas, the executor named
in Mrs. Ways will, declined to serve
and it was at the request of the bene-
ficiaries of the viii and heirs of the
estate that Mr. Wade filed his petition.
The estate is valued at $1,000, consist
ing principally of a tract of land on
Vernon river; the beneficiaries under
the will are for the most part residents
of Savannah.

Receipts of Both Spirits and Resins
Less Than in 100000.
The closing of the naval stores sea-
son of f901-1902 yesterday was marked
by one of the sharpest slumps in spirits
in the market history of that product
from SIC, the highest, to 45c, the official
closing at the Board of Trade. There
were no lambs fieeced, as is usually
the case with corresponding drops in
stocks and cotton. Everybody knew
what was going on, suspected that the
market would very soon seek a level
in accord with supply and demand, and
remained out while it was under ma
nipulation.
The total receipts of turpentine at
this port We're 314,000 casks, against
1897 900 last year. and the exports 314,-
600. against 333, 900 last year The to-
tai receipts of rosins were 1,071 1000 bar
rels against 1.119,0 900 last year, and the
exports 1.062,000 against 1,126,000 last
year. The detailed figures appear IN

ing News.
AS previously stated the old season
witnessed marked advances along diff
ferent lines in the development of the
industry, among them being the build
ing of large storage tanks at Savan-
nah, opening up of virgin lands. and
the starting of a movement among
operators to curtail the new seasons
production with a view to increasing
the value of turpentne.
Owing to a. few unfavorable condi-
tons operators did not make a great
deal of money, but they are laying
their plans to recoup their losses dur
ing the new season, which promises
in many ways to be a better and more
profitable one for them

SHIGG GIVEN A NEW TRIAL.
Supreme Court Not Pleased With
Evidence ON which He Was Con-

Supreme Court Not Pleased With
Evidence on which He Was Con-
vfcted.
The Supreme Court has reversed the
decision of Judge Barrow, in the Su-
-perior Court refusing a new trial in
the case of Henry shigg. convicted of
the murder of Henderson Frasier and
sentenced to imprisonment at hard la
Dor for life.
Frasier was shot and killed while he
was at his devotions in a church near
Sandhy station. The muzzle of a mus
ket was poked in the window and a
load of slugs and buckshot entered his
body, killing him instantly.
There had. beeen previous difficulties
between Shigg and Frasier. 1t was
proved at the trial that Shigg had
threatened Frasier's life and after the
homicide a muslket, recently fired, and
number of slugs similar to those
which had killed Frasier were found in
his room. 1t was on this evidence he
was convicted. but because it was cir
cumstantial Shigg was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, rather than
to pay the death penalty.
The Supreme Court now says that
the evidence was not sufficient to free
the minds of the jury of a, reasona BILE
doubt of the guilt of the accused. and
1t is on this ground that the reversal
was granted. Judge Barrow expressed
the general opinion of those who heard
the evidence when he said, in his de-
cision overruling the motion for a new
trial he did not see how circumstan-
tial evidence could be more conclusive.
The case was carried to the Supreme
Court by Messrs. Raiford Falligant
and w. F. Slater, who represented the
defendant. What action will be taken
in the future is not known, as prac-
tically all the evidence at the disposi-
ton of the state was submitted to the
jury at the last trial, and the decision
of he Supreme Court would seem to
leave the solicitor general scarcely
leg to stand upon. Mr.. Osborne, how
ever, is not in the city and nothing
will be done in the case in his abb
Sence.
