Rev. DR.. w. P. McCorkle preached
a timely sermon on THE Sabbath for
Man" at the First Presbyterian Church
yesterday morning. DIR. McCorkle

tons Of the Sunday laws in Savannah

was made for man and not man for
the Sabbath This DR.. McCorkle illus

tons from biblical history. The SER
mon will probably be followed by 9TH

to be done with this class of bruisers

depot most of the night and saw
Willoughby and the woman asleep on
the floor and were also introduced
later to Willoughby.
Roscoe Hurt, an employe of Kueh-
ner's restaurant. swore that Will
oughby was In the restaurant several
times with the woman during the
evening, as did a Mr.. Mound also en-
ployed there,
Bob Reed was next called. His
testimony was to off set that given by
the Mrs. Willoughby and was to tie
effect that no conversation as claimed
by Mrs. Willoughby took place be-
tween himself and Mrs. Guinane.
Willoughby next took the stand in
his own behalf. He told practically
the same story as told before regard
ing his actions the night In question
He swore that he was the man that
talked to the police about the
umbrella and hat, pointing out Officer
Hamilton In the crowd as the man
who walked down the street with him
and the woman and that he and not
Dickey was the man who lost the hat
and that at no time In his life did | e
ever TO the best of his knowledge see
the man called Dickey, He answe =
ed the questions put to him in a
quick, clear manner, and withal
made good witness for himself. Al
this time IL looked as If no case would
be made against either one of the
couple, but Hamilton's testlmon,
knocked their hopes out.
Mrs. Guinane was next called al d
when asked where her hume was. sh,
replied that she had no home, that
she had met Wil!oughby some three
months ago and that they had been
together all the time sihce. She dis
claimed any knowledge Of the crime
or even of seeing the man Dckey. Her
testimony was Of no particular bene-
fit and did not bring out thing not
already known.
Mr.. Hamilton was the next and
last witness and on his testimony
the finding was returned. Every
word uttered by him carried convict
ion with it and his positive manner
in telling about the stolen hat and
umbrella and the man being Dickey
and not Willoughby who was with
Mrs. Guinane, left no doubt In the
minds of his hearers that he knew
what he was talking about. He told
part Of the conversation held be
tween himself, the woman and the
man In question that makes it seem
certain that Willoughby was not the
man on the depot platform that night.
On cross examination he could not be
ratified IN the least and when he left
the stand the prisoners last chance
for liberty was gone.
Mr.. Shinn In his arguments merely
I read the law IN Such cases TO the
Judge, feeling sure of his case. Mr..
Atchison made splendid effort to
clear his clients at once. He talked
thirty-one minutes and tried to show
the impossibility of the prisoners
having anything to do with the crime,
but his work was in vain for five
minutes later Judge Buchanan said
he would hold the prisoners to the
grand jury without bail, aud the next
morning they were taken back to
Erie.
