he and Young were the best
of friends and that the man
still fugitive could not pos
sibly have anything against him.
Later, while gazing at the trap door
in the execution cell Stewart broke
down. He offered explanations for the
alleged confession of Young, and for
the statement made by Mrs. Fountain
He declared that he had last seen
Young on the Monday before the trag-
edy. Young wanted him to go off with
him that night. Stewart declared that
he did not know for what purpose the
trip was to have been made. but that
he refused, on the ground that he had
a paralyzed mother to look after. He
explained that Young might have de-
sired revenge and implicated him to
satisfy such a spirit.
Charges Animosity.
In explaining away the fact that he
had been positively identified by Mrs.
Fountain, the negro said her statement
was probably prompted by the fact
that she had a grievance against him.
He feels sure, he said, that her ami
mostly is responsible for the fact that
she is positive he took part in the as
sault upon herself and son. Stewart
explains that sometime ago he took her
stepson away with him and that she
only learned of this on the Monday
night before the robbery, when he
was at her store with Young. He said,
too, that the negroes on the Ogeechee
road, for some unaccountable reason,
have no use for him, and will prob
ably come forward with stories that
are untrue. He was asleep at his home
in the city. he said, when the crime
was committed. He did not deny his
identity to the officer who arrested
him, he said, and insisted that his
mother can prove what he says.
A prisoner in the same floor with
Stewart claims that the alleged MUIR
derer made a partial confession to
him, voluntarily, but the story is not
believed, and certainly the crime re-
ferred to could not have been commit
ted by Stewart. The negro who claims
to have been in the confidence
of Stewart says that the man
held for the murder OF Dover
Fountain told him that he and
Young had fixed negro at
the Georgia Car Works and secured Sc
for their trouble. When the unknown
negro was killed near the car works
Stewart was in the police station, and
could not have had anything to do
with the murder.

DINED THE CARDINAL.
Father AIoysius and Members of
Sacred Heart Building Committee.

Father AIoysius and Members of
Sacred Heart Building Committee.
Cardinal Martinelli, Monsignor Rock
er, his secretary; the local and the
visiting Catholic clergy, were the
guests of Rev. Father Aloysius
O'Hanlon, o. S. B., pastor of the Sa-
cred Heart Church. the church COM
mfttee and ladies of the parish, at a
dinner given in the home of the pastor
yesterday afternoon.
The dining room and the tables were
most deliberately decorated with red,
the Cardinals color. These decorations,
as well as the dinner, were in charge
of Mrs. F. S. Jette and Mrs. Jordan
F. Brooks. How well they succeeded
in their work is shown by the fact
that the Cardinal expressed his sincere
appreciation of both dinner and deco
rations, and Monsignor Rocker became
quite enthusiastic, declaring that at no
dinner that he had ever attended had
the menu or the decorations been more
elaborate or more beautiful
After dinner Father Aloysius, on be-
half OF Sacred Heart Parish, delivered
a short address of welcome, and the
Cardinal in a gracious response assur-
ed him of his appreciation of the cour-
teSleS. Cardinal Martinelli then held
an informal reception, at which he
met the members of the Building Com
mittee of the church. and also the la
dies of the parish.
The Church Committee of Sacred
Heart Church and also committees
representing the Cathedral of st.
John the Baptist and st. Patrick S
Church will give an oyster roast at
Tybee to-day at which Monsignor
Rocker will be the guest of honor.
Cardinal Martinelli also was invited,
but had to decline because of a pre-
vious engagement. The party will leave
for Tybee ON the morning train and
will return about dusk

STEWARDS BOLD DENIAL.
In the Face of His Identification by
Mrs. Fountain.

Mrs. Fountain.
With an effrontery characteristic of
his race James Stewart, implicated in
the murder of Dover Fountain. an
assault upon Mrs. Lila Fountain. and
the burglarizing of their store on the
Ogeechee road. withstood the third
degree" in the county Jail yesterday,
and told a story which he knew to be
impossible in view of the facts now in
the possession of the officers.
In the face of his positive identifi-
cation by Mrs. Fountain and her son
before his death, Stewart denies that
he was with Young on the day of the
homicide, or that he was anywhere in
the vicinity of Mrs. Fountains store
Once he suggested to a representa- tive
of the Morning News, that even if he
should make a false statement and
confess that he took part in the as
sault he would have nothing to gain
He appeared impressed with the be-
lief that he might by a persistent de-
NAL of his guilt, cause a doubt to arise
in the mind of the jury trying him,
and escape with a term in the peni-
tertiary. To confess would mean a
certain and swift death
That the Negroes thoughts were these
was indicated by his every action, and
by every word he said. He declared
with tremor in his voice that where
there is life there is hope The al
legged murderer served a term of five
years in the penitentiary for shooting
a member of his own race, and knows
well the hardshiDs of life in a convict
camp. He recalls wildly the long
days of hard work and physical suf-
fering. he says, but would thousand
times rather spend the remainder of
his life in the service of the state then
to be hung.
Was Young's Friend.
Stewart was a first unconcerned
and cool, and said he had no idea how
either Mrs. Fountain or her son could
have accused him of taking part in
the assault. He had been told that
Young had been captured and burned.
and had made a full confession impli-
eating him. He said he could not I'M
derstand how such a confession could
-'a been made, for the reason that

SAYS HE is GERMAN CONSUL
Man Doing Atlanta Society Claims
MIR. Rauers' Post.

Mr.. Jacob Rauers is German consul
at Savannah, but it seems that there is
another claimant for that distinction.
From Atlanta comes the report that A
z. Warrendorf is in that city, and that
he claims to be German consul at Sa-
vannah, with authority extending over
Georgia and Florida. 1t is further said
that Warrendorf claims that he is al
lowed to live at Atlanta, being permit
ted to come to Savannah as he may be
needed.
Mr.. Rauers was seen last night
about the report. He said that he had
never heard of Mr.. Warrendorf, who is
reported as having formerly been a
resident of Savannah. Mr.. Rauers
said that there is no such post as con-
sui at Savannah for Georgia and Flor
ida, as his authority, as consul at Sa-
vannah, extends over Georgia alone.
The report from Atlanta has it that
Warrendorf is doing society in that
city.

TO BUILD GREEK CHURCH.
Members of That Race and Faith Or
ganize Friendly Society.

ganize Friendly Society.
The Greek Friendly Society was in
corporated by virtue of an order pass
ed by Judge Barrow in the Superior
Court yesterday. among the privi-
leges conferred upon the society by
the order of incorporation is that of
building church and providing funds
for it's proper care, conduct and main
tenance.
The incorporators named in the pc
tition are more than fifty in number,
embracing practically all the leading
men of their race in the city. In adj
dition to the erection of a church,
death and sick benefits are to be col
lected and paid and to this end dues
and assessments may be levied upon
the members of the society and gifts
of property received and property
bought sold, exchanged, and held. In
addition the society has such other
rights and privileges as are usually
granted to such corporations under the
laws of the state.
The erection of a church and the
bringing to Savannah of a priest of
their own faith have long been wishes
near and dear to the hearts of the
Greeks of Savannah, and 1t now seems
probable that these give promise of
early realization.
