WILL PLEAD TO-DAY
A SECOND TIME GREENE AND THE
GAYNORS TO ANSWER.
THE NEW INDICTMENT
THE ONE TO WHICH THE DEFEND
ANTS ARE TO RESPOND.

Originally Designed to Supply the
Counts of the Old Indictment
Stricken ON Demurrer by Judge
Speer, the New Indictment Is in
Itself a Practical Reclamation
of the Charges of Conspiracy and
Fraud-Defendant Expected to
Make Fight Based on the Lapse of
ants VIII Reach City in Time to
Appear in Court.
For the second time within a month
Benjamin D. Greene, John F., Edward
II. and William T. Gaynor will this
morning be required to plead to an
indictment charging them with con-
spring with Oberlin NJ. Carter and
Michael A. Connolly, to defraud the
government Of large sums of money.
The defendants are expected to
be on hand when court convenes at
10 o'clock. The indictment to which
the defendants will plead is that
found and returned by the grand jury
at the present term of the court. Orig
inally designed to supply the counts
of the first indictment stricken on de-
murrer by Judge Speer, the second in
dictment has gone far beyond this
original intention and of itself makes
complete changes of conspiracy and
fraud against the six defendants
named.
Daniel w. ROuntree of Atlanta reached
the city yesterday morning and were
in conference during the day with
Messrs. F. G. duBignon and Walter G.
Charlton, the defendants Savannah
counsel. They said their clients
would would be on hand in time to an
swer the order of the court
There is little reason to doubt that
plea in abatement will be filed when
the defendants are arraigned on this
second indictment, based in large part
upon the contention that the offenses
therein alleged are barred by the lapse
OF the period of the statute of Iimita-
lions. The government contends, and
it is so alleged in the Indictment that
since December 1899, the defendants
have been fugitives from justice and
on InlS account nave put themselves
outside the protection of the statute.
Nobody believes counsel for the de-
PENDANTS will be willing to concede the
correctness of this proposition, and,
though they decline to discuss in adj
vance their contemplated course of ac-
ton, the filing of a plea in abatement,
a demurrer or a dilatory plea of SINH
lar character seems a foregone con-
clusion.
What course the case will take in
the future it is impossible to forecast
District Attorney Erwin is as reticent
on the subject as the defendants coun-
sci. When asked what he intended to
do he would only answer that this
would depend largely upon the course
pursued by counsel for the defendants.

A BEGGAR WITH NERVE.
Braced Men at Police Headquarters
and Then Fought.

A beggar that is the limit so far as
nerve is concerned, visited police head
quarters yesterday morning for the
though he has only one leg, he gave a
patrolman or two. and several negro
work hands all that they could do be-
fore he was landed in a cell.
George McCan had a sufficient
amount of brass to brace a desk SER
geant and think nothing of it. He
made his appearance in Savannah sew
eral weeks ago. and was arrested. On
the promise that he would leave the
city he was released, and when ar
raigned again the following morning,
was given 30 days. The officers were
somewhat surprised when he bobbed
up serenely with a grin on his face
that stretched from ear to ear. 1t was
quite evident that he had made a touch
somewhere. and had taken a smile or
two.
McCan braced Detective Frank Wall
who is the George Wilson of the de-
partment-first. and turned loose a few
blasts of hot air into the plain clothes
man. The detective told the applicant
for aid, after he had recovered his
equilibrium, that he was working the
police department himself and that he
better get on the other side of the
street. Wall shot it into the beggar
good and hard. but McCan didn't
seem to appreciate the gems of wit
and hunor that were being spouted
out for his benefit He began to grow
red in the face and the detective saw
storm clouds forming in the northeast
He didn't desire to overlook any bets
and put it up to McCan to enter the
desk sergeants Office and brace the
bunch.
The nervy chap with bum peg de-
clared that he must get a nickel to
ride to one of the wharves, but none
of those on hand could see it. With
the thought Of try. try again before
him he became more persistent and
Desk Sergeant Higgins ordered him to
side-step to the left and out McCan
drew himself up proudly and with an
injured air, declared that he couldn't
think of leaving without getting the
cents that he so badly wanted Pa
trolman Sandiford. who was on duty
in the sally port, heard the sergeant's
orders and started towards the beggar
FOR the purpose of putting him under
arrest. Then for the first time McCan
A~t'N 0CNhs HIS he UIu ILerallY.
He threw his crutch and stick in a
corner and fell to the floor determined
to give those who attempted to modest
MN all that he had in the shop. Off
Ger Sandiford could do little with the
beggar and several negro prisoners
serving time around headquarters were
called into service. McCan, who has a
head full of fiery red hair, used his
head as well as his sound leg. AS the
negroes expressed it afterwards, his
good fin" worked over time, and there
was pleny doing for a while The beg
gar sent the negroes sprawling until
his strength gave out, and when ex
hausted surrendered and walked to a
cell in the station house. During the
scuffie he managed to hurt one of Pa
trolman Sandiford's hands The pris-
oner will be given a hearing by Re
corder Myrick in Police Court this
morning and indications are that he
will receive the limit.

DIVORCE CASES TRIED.

Judge sea3rOok Severed Marital
Bonds OF Unhappy Couples.
Judge Seabrook presided in the SUI
pertor Court yesterday in place of
Judge Barrow, who is absent from the
city. 1t was the purpose of Judge
Seabrook to try cases In which Judge
Barrow is disqualified, but lnone of
these was ready for trial yesterday,
and only divorce cases were taken up.
Jessie +. Mcmillan secured a second
verdict and decree of divorce against
Benjamin +. Mcmillan, on the ground
OF cruel treatment. The plaintiff de-
clared that the defendant, had struck,
abused and threatened to kill her, and
that living with him had been render
ed impossible. On this showing the
verdict was rendered and the decree
granted.
Hannah York was given a first YER
dict upon her application for total di-
vOrce from A. P. York The parties
were married on May q. 1898, and ON
the same day the husband deserted his
wife and has not lived with her since.
Several other divorce cases were
tried and verdicts rendered during yes
terday's session Of the court. The
charges made and the evidence ad-
duced from the stand were not sensa-
ticnal or particularly interesting. In
no one Of the cases did the defendant
manifest any opposition or objection

Savannah Brewery Gives Away n
keg With Every Five Bought.
A beer war is on, and while the con-
sumers have not noticed any less foam,
or any larger glasses at cents per
each" the saloon men are happy. The
fight was begun, it is claimed. by the
Georgia Brewing Association.
The Savannah Brewing Company
purchased a few chips and is holding
a hand in the game, while thus far the
Herman Winter Brewing Company las
remained on the outside. The war is
said to De the result of the failure 20
combine the beer and ice interests, ami
is being conducted under the direction
of President Hart of the Gorrie Ice
Company an6 vice president of TIE
Georgia Brewing Association. Mr. Hart
is in New Orleans, but is expected in
the city Saturday.
Until the war was declared the sa-
loon men paid $1.75 a keg for their
beer. The Georgia Company announced
reduction OF 10 cents a keg and the
Savannah stood pat Then the Georgia
concern knocked off Is cents more on
each key, making the price $3.50 The
Savannah still held to its price of $1.5
d key, but announced that with every
five kegs purchased an extra key would
be given, coming under the figures of
the rival company. the Winter con-
Germ is still hands off and further cuts

FAIR IN The FALL
WITH BIG RACE MEET To ADD TO
IT'S ATTRACTIONS.
DIRECTORS so DECIDED.
MONEY TO PAY INDEBTEDNESS
PRACTICALLY IN HAND.

OF the $4,000 Needed, More Than
$4,000 Has Already Been Sub
scrfbed-Debts of Association win
Be Paid and Subscribers viii
Then own Franchises and Proper
ty of the AssOciation-Every Direc-
tor at Meeting Heartily in Favor
of Holding the Fair and Absent
Directors. 1t Is Thought, viii In
dorse the PIan-Means Much for
Savannah's Business Men.
1t is practically settled that Savan-
nah will have fair and race meeting
next fall. This course of action re-
ceived the full approval of all of the
directors of the Fair Association pres
ent at the meeting last night; that
their colleagues will lend the plan
equally enthusiastic countenance there
is little or no doubt.
The meeting was held at the resi-
dence of the treasurer of the associa-
ton. Mr.. B. II. Levy. Besides Mr..
Levy there were present at the meet
ing President George w. Owens, Vice
President A. b. Moore and Directors
Ryals. Tiedeinan and Hull.
The report of the committee appoint
ed to secure subscriptions to the fund
needed TO pay the debts of the associa-
ton showed that of the $4,000 required
to liquidate the associations liabilities
considerably more than s12. 900 had al
ready been subscribed. The contribu-
tors to this fund, when the required
amount has been subscribed and the
debts paid, will be the owners of all
the property of the association, abso-
lutely free and unincumbered.
1t is not believed that there viii be
serious difficulty in securing the rel
atively small amount now needed and
it is confidently hoped and expected
that at the next meeting the commit
tee, which was instructed to continue
its efforts. win be able to report that
the full sum of $4,000 has been sub
scribed.
In the light of this cheering and en-
couraglng report the directors turned
TO the discussion of the proposed fair
and race meeting for the coming fall
They were all in favor of it and there
was no dissent from the proposition
that IL should be held. The experience
of last year has demonstrated the fair
and race meet to be of great business
and other advantage to the city, and it
is believed that with the plant already
at hand and with the experience of
the last fair to guide them, the direc-
tors will make the event of next fall
a very much more decided success.
The date for holding the Fair will be
finally selected within a few weeks and
a campaign of advertising to bring its
attractions before the people of the
state, will be at once begun. The di-
rectors expect to get to work early,
gather in every attraction that will add
to the interest and attendance, secure
the best programme of racing events
Savannah has ever seen, and do every
other thing possible that will contrib
ute to the success of the Fair

TO HELP MISSION SCHOOL.

Junior Section, Council of Jewish
Women to Give Entertainment.
The Junior Section, Council Jewish
Women, will give an entertainment for
the benefit of the Mission School of
the council in Knights of Pythias Hall
Wednesday afternoon, from $3.50
o'clock to $50. The entertainment will
be for children, and so the programme
has been arranged especially for them
The chief attraction will be a Punch
and Judy show, given by Master Law
renee Seman.
The members of the section will have
a large and attractive lot of fancy
work of various kinds for sale, and
there will be also candy, grab-b and
refreshments. 1t is expected that there
will be large attendance, as the ad-
mission for children will be but 5
cents and that of grown persons only
10 cents. The mission school is an in
stitution that merits the appreciation
of the public and doubtless there will
be a liberal response to its needs.

Detective Wall Got in Game and Ar
rested Suspicious Stranger.
After following his man for several
blocks Detective Wall yesterday ar
rested Wylly Burch white, on a charge
Of attempting to stab a sailor named
Richardson SwXnmore. Burch had n
drawn knife in his hand when placed
under arrest, but the detective thinks
that he had some other motive than a
mere assault.
The sailor was slightly under the in
f1uence of liquor and Burch was fol-
lowing in his wake. He had been no
ticeable on the streets for several days,
and Detective Wall had been keeping
an eye on him. The officer followed
behind the sailor and Burch and await
ed developments.
The seaman was making his way to
his vessel and when Bay street was
reached, Burch tried to make him take
another tack. He grabbed the sailor
and had his knife drawn when the de-
tective ran up and made the arrest
During the early morning Burch is al
legged to have drawn a knife on a man
who had refused to buy him something
to eat. The prisoner will be given a
hearing By Record Myrick in Police
Court this morning.
