upon it." He also asked that those who
assumed mourning in his memory
should also wear something white, as a

GEORGE GILBERT CONVICTED.
Made Sentence Four Years-MOtiOn
for "a New Trial Made.


for New Trial Made.
Waycross Ca, May 2.-The princi
pal evidence introduced by the defense
in the case of George F. Gilbert,
charged with car robbery, was the
statement from Mr.. Gilbert himself
Mr.. Gilbert stated that he was a ma
tive of South Carolina and had been
with the Plant System a number of
years. That he had worked himself
up with the company from salary of
$40 to $75 per month; that the death
of a relative some years ago had left
him some property, and that he. had
lived close the past fourteen or fifteen
years of his residence in Waycross,
and that his income at this time is
about $175 per month
Explaining the overalls which were
found in his possession by Detective
Shannon, he stated that he had tried
to buy some for himself in town, but
could not find any in the stores here
that would fit him. so he wrote to
his brother-i n-law, Mr.. Smith, in Jack
sonville, to get him some there, and
that a negro brought them to him..
and on the night in question, when
Mr.. Shannon arrested him. he was just
taking the goods home from the yard
where he worked. He said that he had
paid for the overalls and had receipt
ed bill for the same.
An effort was made by the defense
to impeach the testimony of William
Shannon, the detective who arrested
Gilbert and who testified to finding
the overalls, jumpers and breakfast ba-
con in a sack which he was carrying
on his back Mr.. J. T. Brown testified
to a conversation that he had heard
from his brother and from another
gentleman in reference to Mr., Shan
non to the effect that they would not
believe him on oath.
A number of gentlemen of the city
who have known Mr.. Gilbert fer a
number of years were put upon the
stand to prove his good character.
Among these were Hon. War
rem Lott Hon; A NJ knight
Mr.. j. X: BIB, Mr.. W. M.
Harrington, Rev. w. L. Harper These
all testified that they had known him
for number of years and that they
had never known anything against
him, up to the present trouble.
Solicitor General Bennett" for the
state; w. NJ Toomer, for the defense,
spoke last night. This morning Hon.
Leon A Wilson spoke for the defense.
and Hon. w. E. Kay of Brunswick
made the closing argument for the
prosecution.
The jury, after being out six hours.
reached verdict of guilty with recom-

penitentiary. Toomer g. Wilson, coun-
sci for Gilbert, made a motion for a
new trial, and Judge Bennett set June
