Easton was taken quite i'll, so much so

The medico brought the visitor around

IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Expert Accountants Think County's
system of Bookkeeping Can Not Be
Improved IDOn.


The expert accountants, engaged by
the Court House Committee of the
grand jury, who have been examining
the books of the county for a week
past, have found the records of the
several offices in excellent shape. One
of the accountants said last night that
he could recommend no better method
of keeping the books than the one now
in vogue.
Messrs. Giles Tyson and John ].
Gaudry. the Examining Committee en-
gagged by Mr.. j. NJ Barnard the chair
man of the committee from the grand
jury, have had a tedious. though not
unpleasant, task to perform in exam
lining the books. The offices of the
tax collector, the tax receiver, the
county treasurer, the county sheriff
and the County Commissioners are
visited each day. so that the accounts
can be checked.
The examiners have been performing
their duties throughout the day, their
task lasting sometimes until almost
midnight. The records for the past
seven months are examined. The ac-
countants will have finished their la
bors by the end of the week, and will
make their report to the grand jury
on Monday next, at which time there
will be a special session of that body.
In employing experts to examine the
books of the county, the grand jurors
are availing themselves of the right
which Judge Barrow stated in his
charge is theirs. This is the first time
that experts have ever been employed,
the committees from the grand juries
performing the duties heretofore. The
work was not, however, carefully
done, the task being so great one
that the committees found time to do
no more than give a cursory glance at
the records, to see that they were
neatly and Systematically kept.

commissary in the First Regi-
ment, G. S. T., has been

day. Capt. McDonough was commits

he held with credit until Jan. of
the following year, when he was
transferred to the commissaryship on

SO completely was the negro taken
by surprise that he offered no resist
ance, but accompanied Chief Sweeney
to the Jacksonville police station. The
Savannah officer did not go to Florida
for the purpose of getting Fields, and
was as much surprised as the convict.

lie caught hold of the negro and then
he looked at him. His prisoner was
Lawrence Fields. and off to the Jack
sonville police station he was marched.
Some time after he had been put be-
hind the bars the escaped convict
agreed to return without requisition
papers, and he will probably arrive in
the custody of the Savannah officer this
morning.
Fields was arrested nearly a year
ago for throwing stones at a trolley car
on the West End line. He hurled a
large rock at a motorman. and the mis-
sle went crashing through a glass
window. The conductor of the car pur-
sued the negro. and after a long chase,
caught him. In Police Court the pris-
oner was sentenced by Recorder Myrick
to serve thirty days on the changing,
and later in the City Court Judge Nor
wood imposed a sentence of twelve
months. The brother of Eyes, the
murderer of George Powell. did not like
changing life and made his escape in
a short while. He went at once to
Florida and spent the greater part of
his time in Jacksonville. where he
imagined himself in no danger of de-
lection.
Second Robbery.
Chief Sweeney left Savannah Monday
morning for the convict camp at Far
go, with Robert Binyard, negro con-
victed of highway robbery. Binyard
was given five years and had begun
serving his term when brought back to
Savannah as a witness against Charlie
Ulmer. his partner in crime Timer
has not yet. been tried and the Prison
Commission ordered that Binyard be
taken back to the convict camp until
n day is set for the trial of Timer.
Chief Sweeney was returning from Far
so to Savannah, and stopped in Jack
sonviile between trains. He was re-
paid for his wait by the capture of
Fields.
