SUNDAY WITH POLICE.

Yesterday was rather quiet one
with the police and there will not be a
great deal of business to be transacted
by Recorder Myrick in Police Court
this morning. But few of the cases are
of more than passing interest.
Frank and James Thomas, brothers,
will be arraigned for assaulting r. F.
Douberly at the Savannah Cotton Mills.
James Thomas is also charged with
carrying concealed kncks. 1t is alleged
that Douberly advised his cousin not
to go with one of the Thomas boys and
that this caused the trouble Officers
Blumburg and Sandiford will appear
against the defendants.
Abram Washington, colored, will be
arraigned for breaking the dishes of
Pricilla Fields in Broughton lane.
Patrolman Sandiford made this arrest
also.
James Hamilton, colored, made a
prisoner by Mounted Patrolman deg
nan, is charged with threatening to
shoot George Carter and burn his house

Prisoner TO-day-has wired Them

Him-His Capture Is Important,
Since Officers Hope Now to Catch

Who Escaped at Same Time-An
Example to BE Made of Him.
After enjoying his liberty for nearly
two months, Tom Jenkins, one of the
gang of five men who overpowered the
guard at one of the convict camps, and
made his escape, has been run to
earth in Hampton, S. c. This news
was received by Chief Deputy Sheriff
Sweeney yesterday, and he will leave
this morning to get his man.
The capture of Jenkins bears more
than ordinary significance, since the Of
ficers of the law think that they will
now be able. with the information
which they get from him, to appre-
bend the other members of the gang,
who perpetrated one of the most dar-
ing escapes ever planned and executed
i'll Chatham county.
The escape, which came very near
being a general delivery of all of the
prisoners in camp, was effected on
april 8. last. Led by notorious ne
gro, named "Cracker" Crummity.
Guard Wall was pounced upon, relieved
of his gun and pistol, and at the poirr
of his own weapons, forced to stand at
bay while the gang fed to the woods

Jenkins is well known to the police.
He was originally put in the chain

He had several times been arrested
for various thefts, it being said that
he would steal anything which was
not riveted down; but by hook or
crook. he generally managed to escape
punishment. But, being caught in the
act of purloining the red hot" stove,
he was given twelve months on the
county forces. not, however. before
considerable trouble had been expert
enced because of the fact that the ne
gro denied his identity
Shortly after his first incarceration
he escaped, but he was captured again.
and was serving double sentence when
he succeeded in eluding the guard in
his manacled condition The negro is
known as a desperate character, and
Chief Sweeney has wired the officers
in Hampton to observe extraordinary
care in guarding their prisoner, since
his capture is regarded as of first inn
portance.
1t will probably go hard with Jen-
kins when he appears before Judge
Norwood on the charge of escape"
for the chaingang authorities have had
a great deal of tfouhle from this
source during the past year 1t is in
tended to make an example of him,
and when he goes back to the gang to
serve his three sentences he will be
deprived of the concessions made to-
many of the other prisoners, and will
have to work double shackled.

In the saloon of Cad D. Bryan, Jr.
at o'clock this morning, at least four
men were wounded, one probably ia
tally. a score of shots were fired and
the fixtures were riddled with bull
lets.
There were perhaps a dozen men IN
the place at the time and others may
have been shot.
Bryan is supposed to have been shot
by Evans, and at 4:SO o'clock the po-
lice received information that Jim
Bennett had shot Evans.
1t is not known what bullet struck
Doss. Ivey was behind the bar and
a stray bullet is said to have grazed
his shoulder.
wounded Men Located.
AT 4:3O o'clock Doss and Evans were
located by City Detective Frank Wall
in the Tenderloin district, at No. 24O
Houston street. They were being
given medical attention. and were not
taken at that time to the police sta
ton house. The plain clothes man re-
manned with them while the physi-
CLANS dressed the wounds.
At that hour Bryan was having his
wounds dressed by physicians at St.
Josephs Hospital. 1t was reported
from that place that he was not seri-
Ously wounded.
He made no statement beyond say
ing to friend that he had been given

derstand how they got away with it,"
Shortly before o'clock it was re-

pose of placing Bennett under arrest

of duty. A few minutes after he wit
messed the flight of the two figures
down the dark lane between Congress
and Broughton streets.
In the darkness it was impossible to
discern who the men were, but it SEEM
ed that one of the men was fleeing for
his life, as If unarmed.
No word to halt was cried, but des
perately they proceeded up the dark
lane. Presently two more shots were
fired, and then the pursuing party
gave up the pursuit.
Where Wounds Are.
Bryan received two wounds in the
thigh; Doss was shot through, the right
hand, Evans received an ugly wound
in the breast, a few inches above the
left nipple and Ivey is said to have
received a slight flesh wound on the
shoulder
For a few seconds after the last
of the fusilade of shots was fired it
was as still as death, then suddenly
a man emerged from the bar, another
in hot pursuit.
The two fled up Drayton street.

Here one shot was fired. The men
continued up the lane.

Great Secrecy Observed.
The greatest secrecy was observed
by all who participated in or wit
messed the shooting and it was not
known at 4:3O o'clock how many were
shot in the pitched battle. At least
four were placed under the care of
physicians.
The quarrel was precipitated sudden
ly. and it is understood, the provoca-
ton was small.
The three men most seriously injured
had been drinking together, and were,
apparently. on the friendliest terms,
when one of them made a remark
which caused the first gun to be
drawn.
Reports differ as to what this re-
mark was.
Evans Stnrted Shooting.
Evans, according to report started
the shooting. In an instant several
pistols were out, and bullets whistled
through the air in every direction.
Then there was a general scurrying
for the door by those who were I'M
armed.

distance from the place. and cried to

from the chambers of the several
weapons.
Bystanders say that he was inter

and stopped him, Evans, with revolver
smoking and empty, falling to his knees
and pleading for mercy.
Bryan was taken upstairs. Bennett
rushed up, and found that he had been
wounded Then he bolted into the
street in pursuit of his assaiIant.
Evans secured a cab. and with the
blood flowing from his lungs and be-

man to drive at once for a doctor.

the men who could be spared from
their respective divisions were press
