D0RTIC CASE WENT OVER.
Continued Until May Because of Alb.
sence of Material witness.

The case of William G.. Dortic,
charged with the murder of John A
Deegan. will not be tried in the Supe-
rior Court to-day, although it was as
signed. The absence of a material
witness for the defense induced Judge
Barrow to declare a continuance of the
case until May s.
The absent witness is Capt. James
Seytor, of the British steamship Iris.
In open court yesterday both Judge
Twiggs and Mr.. Colding, of counsel
for the defendant, stated that Cant.
Seytor was a material witness. that the
evidence he would give would be of
great value to Dortic, and that it would
be unsafe for the defendant to proceed
to trial without him.
Judge Twiggs stated that Capt Sey-
tor would testify he had entered Lee
vans cafe on the night of the homj-
eide after the first shot was fired and
had seen w. p. Cavanaugh who lost
an eye, put out by a stray bullet, on
the same unfortunate occasion, rush
from the place into the streets Capt.
Sey tor will say further, Judge Twiggs
explained, that it was the last bullet,
fired after Kavanaugh had left the
place, that struck Deegan and gave
him his mortal wound.
The significance of this testimony
will be understood when 1t is remem-
bered that Kavanaugh stated on the
trial he saw Deegan when he was shot
and that he was then in a crouching
position by the side of the counter. 1t
is DOrtics contention that Deegan was
still maintaining a threatening attitude
when the fatal shot was fired.
Counsel for the defendant explained
that they had exhausted every effort
to secure the attendance of Capt Sey-
tor after they learned of the important
evidence he was in posi-
tion to give. but that this in
formation had reached them only
a short time before his ship sailed
and that he had left Savannah before
the process of the court could be
served upon him.
The solicitor general made no effort
to contest the allowance of the con-
tinuance. Mr. Osborne stated he I'M
derstOod that mans life or liberty
was at stake, that if counsels under
standing of the matters. to which Capt
Seytor would testify was correct his
evidence was most important and that
in such a case he thought the con-
tinuance should be granted
The agents of the Iris expect her
to return to Savannah some time dur
ing the latter part of April and
though the case has been assigned for
May it will be taken up at an
earlier date if it is necessary to Sc
cure in this manner the testimony OF
Capt Seyton and at the same time
permit him to sail when his ship is
ready for sea

for what He Didn't Do.

Several well known citizens appear
ed ss defendants at yesterdays session
Of Police Court They were charged
with permitting their cows to run at
large, but were dismissed by Recorder

paid to have their COWS cared for
during the day by a negro who runs
a pasture in the southern section of

duty by paying the pasture keeper
monthly, and that he was responsi bic

parading the streets When this
showing was made to the Recorder
the pasture keeper was arraigned and
a fine Of 81 was imposed.

Let Us Have a Policy.

From the Rocky MOCntain News.
President Schurman of Cornell uni
versity, who was a member Of Presi-
dent McKinIey's first Philippine com
mission, is a man who Is admitted on
all sides to be patriotic, intelligent and
highminded. No person with a rem
nant Of sanity will accuse him of be
ing a traitor" or to try to answer his
calm and well-cOnsidered arguments
with the fling that he " is attacking the
American soldier"
In an article in the New York indie
pendent President Schurman says
frankly that the FilipinOs are wonder
fully united in national sentiment, that
they can be made competent to govern
themselves in a few years and that
they should be turned loose when they
are competent. He says:
"Why are we making war? Here are
100000 fellow Christians of ours
the only Christian nation in Asia-as
highly civilized as most Of the people
of Central and South America. What
llO We WALL Will InCuA- " = nave new
er told them If we have no policy let
US say so and stop fighting. If we have
no policy let US say so and it may end
all fighting"
There is a decent, serious statement
of the situation, and decent, serious
Americans will feel that it requires an
answer. An extraordinary fact is that
while we demand of the FiIipinOs an
unconditional surrender Of themselves
aud their country, we never have in
formed them what we viii do with
them or it.
We never have indicated what our
future policy may be. Congress never
has fixed policy. We arbitrarily go
as conquerOrs into a'far-away land and
demand that it shall be given up to US.
We deny every principle enunciated
in our own declaration of independ-
ence when we insist upon cOnquering
the Philippines, yet the people are
asked to agree to that revolutionary
and subversive denial notwithstanding
that the question never has been
passed upon by congress and never
has been submitted to American 70
tiers
