BRINSON CASE REOPENS
THIS MORNING
Mr.. Julian VI. Solomon Expected to
Re Present in Court.

The case of the United States against
Judgson G.. Crimson, a preliminary
hearing on a warrant charging the
concealment, and transportation of
struggled cigars, will be reopened be-
fore United States Commissioner Ry-
ais in the District Court room at II 30
o'clock this morning. 1t is expected
that at this time a very important
witness. Mr.. Julian NJ. Solomon, will
be present and testify as to his knowl-
edge of the smuggling that had been
in progress for some years.
Mr.. Solomon was one of three men
selected by the tobacco merchants of
Savannah in 1901 to discover if pos
sible the reason for a falling off in
sales of imported cigars. That he
was successful in his investigation is
averred and a large part of the in
formation now in the hands of Acting
United States Attorney Leaken. was
furnished by Mr.. Solomon. His testi-
mony is therefore most important, and
the inquiry was continued, at the re-
quest of Mr.. Leaken, until such time
at Mr.. Solomon could reach Savannah.
He is understood TO have ample rea-
son for his delay in reaching this city
after summoned by the court.

Mr.. BRANNEN IMPROVING.

Mr.. w. T. Brannen, who was struck
by the horses of a big ice wagon Mon
day afternoon and rendered uncon-
scious for an hour or more is now
resting comfortably at his home, 321
Barnard street, and may be out and
attending to his affairs in a day or
two. He had a very bad fall, and his
head gave him much pain all of Mon
day afternoon and night. Until he is
entirely recovered from his shock and
bruises it cannot be said whether or
not there may be any investigation
into the cause of the collision. There
were several witnesses, all of whom
are known, and if they agree that it
was criminal carelessness or worse on
the part of the driver of the ice wagon
there may be more developments in
the case.

Mysterious Burglars" did mys-
ferrous things during the early MORN

visited and a blind was cut.
The residence of Fred Kuck, on the
northwest corner, was entered through
parlor window in the rear, but val
uables We're overlooked by the Prov
Ter. He got the window open by cut
ting the window blinds, the favorite
method of the Mysterious Burglars"
The robber then made his way to
the grocery store and helped himself
to cheese, crackers and butter. He
did not modest anything else in the
store and seemed to be looking for
only something to eat. There is no
doubt in the minds of the police that
the burglar is the same one who has
been paying regular visits to Mr.. But
ler's residence and helping himself to
edibles from the refrigerator. The dis
covery was made when Mr.. Kuck
opened his store and a report was made
at once to police headquarters.
Only Took Keys.
The grocery of M. &. Ehrlicher, on
Liberty and West Broad streets, was
entered much in the same manner
shortly before 8 o'clock, and another
peculiar theft was committed.
The keys to the store were taken
from the trousers pocket of clerk
~ L.. To- TnfI
ing else in the place was molested, and
no effort vase made to go into the
store. The burglar got in through a
window in the room in which the
clerk was slumbering.
A short time later the clerk got up
for some purpose and made the dis
covery that the place had been en-
tered. A thorough search of the prem
ises showed that only the keys mad
been taken. The police were notified
and the keys were found on the side
walk on West Broad street. some dis
lance from the store.
Two other Places.
Shortly after Q o'clock a man was
frightened from the Kraus residence at
No. 10 Hull street, west. He was using
a knife on the blinds when driven away.
AT about o'clock an effort was made
to enter No. 1874 Whitaker street. The
man was working on the blinds when
frightened off. Reports of both cases
were made at police headquarters, but
no one was able to say whether the
man was black or white. At the Whit
aker street address it was stated that
several efforts had been made recently
to get on the inside.
