The killing of the Dupree woman oc-
Cured east of the Plant System
wharves and the murderer left imme-
diately. His act was prompted by
Jealousy, although no one could be
discovered who witnessed the homi-
eide. The woman lived with her hus-
band in Yamacraw and left during the
morning to visit friend east of the
city, on Bruton Hill.
She had told her husband that she
was going to pay the visit and from
his actions afterwards he suspected
that she was not telling the truth. On
her way to the house she stopped with
another woman to talk with several
laborers employed in building the
plant of the Southern States Phos-
plate Fertilizer Company. She was
talking to negro whom she had
known for some time, when her hus-
band arrived on the scene almost out
of breath.
He had been to the house of his
wife's friend and when he did not find
her there started for the phosphate
works. He ordered his wife to return
to the city with him and the woman
obeyed. The two walked away together
and about 300 yards away Dupree cut
his wife to death He made his es-
cape across the tracks of the Tybee
Railroad and did not enter the city
at all. the woman was killed in
stantly, and just what happened be-
fore the fatal wounds were admins
tered was never learned.
The ccroners jury that investigated
the homicide decided that the act had
been prompted by jealousy and re-
turned verdict charging Dupree with
with murder. The negro is a native of
South Carolina and at the time it was
believed he had gone to that state. He
was employed on the Ocean Steamship
Company's wharves as a laborer and
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeney had an
accurate description of the man. The
deputy left the city early Sunday
morning for the purpose, following up
the murderer of Michael Shrenk and
Jake Carter. and his clue carried him
to Jacksonville

JAMES DUPREE ARRESTED.
Negro who Killed His Wife Here
Last July Caught in jacksonville.

Last July Caught in Jacksonville.
Jacksonville. Fla. March S.-Deputy
Sheriff Sweeney, of Savannah, effected
the capture here tonight of negro
named James Dupree, who came here
with the Great American Railway
Shows from Tampa. Deputy Sheriff
Sweenv says that the man has been
wanted in Savannah since last July
for numbering his wife. The murder
occurred at a guano factory about two
miles out from Savannah. Dupree
told Officer Sweeny here tonight that
he did not leave Savannah Immediately
after the crime, but spent two or three
weeks in YamacFaw. Since then he
has been wandering from one place
to another and struck up with the cir
Gus at Tampa, where he was given en-
Dloyment. He was turned up here
by one of Deputy Sheriff Sweeny's
spoilers, a negro named James Smith,
who formerly lived in Savannah, and
who saw Dupree working at the circus

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local 'and General News of Ships
and shipping.

The outward movement of lumber
the past week was large, compared
with what it has been for the few
weeks previously. The total was 1871,
746 feet, of which zoo. SIS went to New
York by steam 959, 1924 to Philadelphia
by steam, and 81, 019 to Baltimore by
steam. New York got 1.177, 1856 by sail,
and Philadelphia 1,156,457 by sail, the
latter being cross-ties. There is every
reason for believing that the outward
movement of lumber will continue
large, judging from the large number
of schooners now bound for Savannah,
and the number being chartered. The
port loses none of its prestige as the
chief lumber exporting point of the
South Atlantic.

Policy.

London. March S-H. H. Asquith,
NJ. p, in a letter to the chairman OF
the East Fife Liberal Association, ex-
plains his reasons for supporting the
new Liberal League of Lord Rosebery.
Mr.. Asquith fully indorses Lord
Rosebery's home rule policy and
points out that even Gladstone's mag
Eificent courage and unrivalled au-
thority failed to solve the problem, be-
cause of the rooted repugnance of the
majority of the electors of Great Bril-
tain to grant "a Parliament to ireland.
