In the station was confined the In

was arrested Tuesday afternoon on
charge Of murder In having partici-

murderer White on Monday night.
The rumor spread about town yester-
day afternoon that Corwell would be
taken before Coroner Mccormick at

crowd to the police station. 1t began

less than an hour was a tumultuous,

street in front Of the station was
SO Densely Packed
that street cars were brought to a
standstill or made their way along at
a snails pace. To have attempted to
remove Ccrwell would have been
sheer madness He would have been
snatched from his guard In twink

probable that he will be given I'M

The maneuvers now in Progress at

deal Of interest, because of the large
number of state troops taking part.
Col Thomson was the Georgia rep

for him to return home. Among the
Michigan officers present at West Point
with the brigade from that state, are
Col. Chas. w. Harrah, Lieut.. Col. j.

Those who are willing and anxious

money in putting a baseball team in

to insure it's success. Savannah sports
are inclined to be skeptical as to the
sincerity of the motives of those pro-
noting any events here. This has
been most strongly manifested in the
boxing contests that have been pulled
off here.
All Southern League managers rec
ognize in Savannah one of the best
openings for a paying ball team Of

Chattanooga has not given up the

be given up when the meeting of the
