TRIED FOR OLD CRIME.
Martha Campbell, ShOpIifter, Sent to
the Gang for "a Year.

the Gang for a Year.
Martha Campbell was tried in the
City Court yesterday for a crime COM
mitted nearly two years ago. found
guilty by the jury and sentenced by
Judge Norwood to pay a fine of $50 and
costs, or serve twelve months on the
Changing of the county.
The woman is the leader of a gang
of negro shoplifters, the three other
members being young girls, who oper-
ated extensively during the holiday
season of 1900. They were charged with
thefts from a number of the leading
stores of the city. The particular crime
of which the Campbell woman was con-
victed was the larceny of a sacque worth
Sc from the store of the old firm of
Jackson, Metzger & Co. One of the
girls turned states evidence and gave
up the whole story.
The woman had been out on bail
since her arrest, but she could not
give bond after her conviction and
was sent to Jail. She will probably
serve her term on the gang. She was
represented by George w. Owens, Esq,
while r. L. Colding, solicitor general
pro tenn, prosecuted for the state.
w. e. Calhoun, a white man, was
found not guilty of cheating and
swindling. Calhoun beat his boarding
house keeper out of a board bill of
$33, and it was charged that this was
rendered possible by his claim that he
was working for the Seaboard Air
Line. The jury decided that the story
Calhoun put up was not such as to
make out a case of cheating and swim
ding, and gave him his liberty.

STREET CARS CLASSIFIED.
New MOwn Grass Caused Collision
and Delays.


Street car traffic was impeded on the
Thunderbolt and Habersham lines yes

occurred at 4:05 o'clock at the inter
section of Abercorn and st. Julian
streets Car No. 80 of the Abercorn line,
north bound. ran into car No. SOC of
the Thunderbolt line. Save for bruis-

white girl aboard the Abercorn car.
no one was injured. The damage to the
equipment was confined to one of the
wheels of the Thunderbolt car. which
had it's fiange broken so that it would
not remain on the rail.
The accident was due to the fact that
the grass had been cut on the square

1t crashed into the rear end of the
Thunderbolt car. which had partially
crossed the Abercorn line, but had
stopped to take on a passenger.
The rear trucks of the Thunderbolt
car were knocked from the track, and,
as stated, a flange on one of the wheels
was broken. The little girl, whose
name was White, had her mouth strike
the back of the seat in front of her,
cutting her lip. This was not serious.
After but very little work the service
on the Abercorn line was resumed, but
the broken flange delayed the operation
of the Thunderbolt and Habersham
lines for some time.
Superintendent of Transportation
Duffy accepted the statement of the
Abercorn line motorman regarding the
accident, 1t being shown that the mo-
torman had tried to stop his car al

RUN DOWN BY WAGON.
A. o. Mcdonald Had Two Ribs Frac-

bruises about the body.
The accident occurred shortly before
, o'clock. Mr.. Mcdonald was going
south or Drayton street, riding a BIZ
cycle. A negro, driving a wagon, was
coming from the opposite direction.
As they approached. the horse sud
denly took the wrong side of the street.

his wheel out of danger. struck him,
knocking him off of his bicycle.
The shaft struck him in his left side,
fracturing two ribs, knocking them in,
and causing great pain. A. NJ. Thomas.
who was a witness to the accident, i'm
me diately ran after the negro, who, af-
ter a few words of apology, had con-
tinued down the street. The man ex-
planned that the cause of the accident
lay W the fact that the reinS had got
caught under his horses tail, and in
attempting to pull them out, he had
guided the animal on the wrong side
of the street. No arrest was made.
The injured man was taken to the
office of DR.. e. r. Corson nearby, where
his wound was dressed. He was then
removed TO his home, and his family
physician, DR.. Daniels, was called in.
Dr. Daniels said last night that the
wound and fracture in themselves were
not dangerous, but that there was
possibility of pneumonia resulting from
the injury to the ribs.
Mr.. Mcdonald is we'll known in the
city. He is train dispatcher for the
Central of Georgia Railway. Unless
complications set in he will be out
again within a week or ten days.

crate trains into Savannah. This road
connects with the Seaboard Air Line
at Collins, and it is designed to oper-

SIM PLIFf ED.

Apparently there isn't going to be
anything complicated about the trial
by court-martial of General Jacob H.
smith When the proceedings began
yesterday Colonel Woodruff, counsel for
the defence, said he desired to simplify
them. He was willing to admit that
General Smith gave instructions to Ma
jor Waller to kill and burn and make
Samar a bowling wilderness, that he
wanted everybody killed capable of
bearing arms, and that he did specify
all over ten years old, as the Samar
boys Of that age were equally as dam
gerous as their elders.
This does indeed simplify things. And
we do not see why anybody needs to be
greatly shocked by it. War is war and
we are engaged in pacifying the Philip
pines If Filipino boys over ten years
old stand in the way of the onward
march of our Christian civilization our
soldiers will see to it that the march
isn't long interrupted. That is what
they are for, isn't it?
