Grief in VaIdOstn-His Manager
Arrested for Passing Honduras
Dollars.
Valdosta, Ca, March 14.-The horned
wild man from South America, via
Waycross, came to grief in this city
this morning and one of his managers
may have to face the charge of cheat
ing and swindling, in that he has been
passing silver dollars from Honduras
for Uncle Sans coin, the Honduras
money being worth less than half of
the American.
The story of grief began last night
when the policeman arrested the wild
man himself for discharging his pistol
In the neighborhood of California Hall
where the negroes were having an en-
tertainment The wild man, whose
name was placed upon the police
docket this morning as Calvin Byrd,
went out on the town after his per-
Torrance and was picked up by the
policemen a little later for having fir
ed his pistol on the streets. The ar
rest disclosed one of the cleverest fake
freaks that has appeared in this sec
ton in a long time.
Byrd is an ordinary ginger-cake col
pounds. He has had an incision made
in his scalp and a thin piece of metal
slipped under the skin. This piece of
metal was attached to two knob screws
about half an inch long and the horns
were screwed to these little knobs for
exhibition. give an appearance as
though the horns grew from his head.
His eye-teeth were gold-mounted and
fixed so that the long tusk could be
fastened to them so as to appear to be
growing from the gum.
Byrd processes to know nothing of
how the operation was performed On
his head, and says that it was done
while he was sick with fever The
incision has entirely healed up, though
the place is still sore Byrd came here
from Waycross with couple of men
from there, one of them said to be a
dentist A week ago all of the papers
of the. state had sensational story of
the great horned wonder.
The man who was arrested for pass
ing the Honduras dollars gives his
name as ]. c. English. 1t is said that
he had several hundred dollars of the
money and passed them on number
of people here. The amount of the
coin which he is said to have had with
him gave ground to the belief that he
was engaged in a swindling game-on
money as well as with the freak.

Body Believed to BE That of barlow
Warren Found Floating in EdistO
River
Charleston, March 14.-Early this
morning fishermen near Branchville
found the -decomposed body of a
white man floating in the Edisto river,
a circle of flying buzzards watching it
from above. 1t was near the bend in
sthe river where the express company's
safe was found on the day after the re-
cent express robbery. Two D. pistols
were strapped around the body and
in the coat pockets were found twelve
express envelopes. four of them con-
tanning money.
On the day following the express rob-
berry the trail was traced by blood
hounds to a place on the river near
where the body was found to-day.
where it was lost. 1t is thought the
robber attempted to swim across the
rapid current, but being weighted
down by his clothes, heavy pistols and
cartridges, he persisted miserably.
Those who have seen the body pro-
nounce ii to be the notorious Barlow
Warren, who is alleged to have robbed
the Southern Express Company and
to have murdered the chief witness
against him.
May Re Only Ruse.
The identification is not complete and
the coroner has held no inquest yet
Express officials suggest that the corpse
may be a ruse to throw the detectives
off the track of the robbers. A re-
ward of $1,000 for Warren's arrest is
out. He is suspected of completely in
three attempts to rob the trains, and
the express people will make sure that
he is dead before they give up search.

Defendants Good Statement.
Avant, the defendant, made a state
ment in his own behalf. 1t was clear
ly expressed and earnestly spoken, and
doubtless created a good effect on the
jury.
He said he had stopped his car at the
corner of West Broad and Bay streets,
and again at the corner of Olive street,
and that as he approached Bryan he
was going at a slow rate of speed. He
saw Mrs. Baker and her children
standing at the corner. and thought
they intended to board his car-he had
no idea they intended to cross in front
of it.
"As the car approached the party,
l saw the child run across in front of
it, possibly not more than two or three
feet away" said Avant. ut was all

death of this child, l would go and
throw myself into the river. That is
the truth, gentlemen; so help me God"
There was considerable rebuttal evil
dence on both sides, and shortly before
o'clock the arguments to the jury
were begun. Col. Meldrim and Judge
Twiggs each spoke for half an hour,
