0CKERMAN WAS SENTENCED.
Fine of $50 and Costs or SIX Months
in Jail.

Hugo Ockerman. the leader of the
First Regiment Band, who was indict-
ed for forgery on Friday, pleaded gull
ty yesterday to the offense, and threw
himself upon the mercy of the court.
He was sentenced to pay a fine of $50
and costs. or spend twelve months in
Jail. The crime for which Ockerman
was indicted is a felony, but because
of the previous good standing of the
prisoner, Judge Barrow imposed mis-
demeanor sentence.
Ockerman was not represented by
counsel. Col. Robert Colding appeared
for the state, and announced that he
was content with the plea of the de-
PENDANT. Before sentencing the prison
er, Judge Barrow interrogated him as
to his occupation, and previous life.
The prisoner stated that he had been
the director of the First Regiment
Band. He said that he had never been
in trouble of a serious nature before.
and appealed to the judicial clemency
of the judge.
Ockerman has been in jail more than
a month already. This fact. too, was
called to the attention of the court
and went some way toward mitigating
the sentence. Ockerman. did not pay
the fine yesterday. but was taken back
to the Jail. His friends say that the
amount will be paid in a short while.

come an inmate of the Crittenton
Home.
She declared that If she doesn't like

promised during the day to try and
behave herself. Even while making
these good resolutions, however, the
young girl persisted in using profanity.
The police are in hopes that the girl
can be saved, although they are doubt
full.

reared was a rather sordid one. and

SQUIRRELS WILL COME
FOR FORSYTH PARK.
Chairman Dahfn Is Having Trouble
in Getting Them, However.

IN Getting Thens however.
Although Chairman P. D. Daftin of
the Park and Tree Commission is hav-
ing hard time finding squirrels for
Forsyth Park. he has not given up
and expects to have quite a number of
the little animals chasing each other
in the park next spring.
Mr.. Daffin had been promised a con-
signment of squirrels from Rome, Ga,
but the gentleman who promised them
to him has discovered that the little
fellows have migrated, a habit of the
squirrel. The chairman of the Park
and Tree Commission wrote to the
Mayor of Memphis. but has received
information that the Tennessee city has
shipped all of its surplus stock to New
York for Central Park. The Mayor of
Memphis expressed regret at his in
ability to help Savannah.
Squirrels will inhabit Forsyth Park
in the near future despite the fact that
Chairman Daffin is meeting with many
obstacles. 81 do not intend to give up
the idea," said the chairman of the
Park and Tree Commission yesterday
1T seems to have struck a popular
chord and we will get squirrels for the
park The little fellows will prove quite
interesting, and will add life to the
place. They are to be found in all big
parks, and we will arrange to have
them take up their abode in Savan-
nah. Now that it looks as if Council
intends to do something for us. we
hope to DO much work next year. There
are a great many things to be done,
and all that we have needed has been
money. Without trees Savannah would
be wilderness, as it were, and would
lose all of its beauty. The Park and
Tree Commission expects to work Won
ders during the coming year"
