COULDN'T GET A JURY
TO TRY NAT EVANS FOR ASSAULT
WITH INTENT TO MURDER.
WHOLE PANEL EXHAUSTED.
DEFENSE STRUCK IT, STATE AND
II WENT OFF FOR CAUSE.

Twelve other Names Selected from
Jury Box and Owners Summoned
to BE at Court This MOrning-The
Eleven Jurors Secured Given an
Airing, Under Guard, Then Dis
posed of for the Night-Evans'
Case Likely to BE Similar to That
of Jim DOss'-CharGe Is Identical
and witnesses and Lawyers Rep
resenting Two Sides Also the
Same.
The trial of Nat Evans on the charge
of assault with intent to murder, which
was begun in the Superior Court yes
terday, and which is the second Of the
series of nine cases growing out of the
Doss-B Bryan shooting affair of June 2S
promises to be even more interesting
than was the trial of Doss on a SIM
liar charge.
Though the case was begun in the
early afternoon up to $50 o'clock the
panel of forty-eight jurors had been
exhausted and only eleven of these had
been secured to try the case. The de-
Tense used seventeen strikes and the
state six, while eleven of the men went
off for cause. Twelve other names were
selected from the jury box and the
twelve men indicated by the drawing
were at once summoned to appear at
the Court House at 10 o'clock this
morning, when the work of completing
the jury will be finished and the trial
proper be begun.
The eleven jurors selected yesterday
were, when court was adjourned,
turned over to the sheriff with instruc-
tions that they should be allowed to
send messages to such persons as they
desired, then allowed a walk about for
exercise, and later to be taken to the
De Soto, given supper and made COM
Portable for the night. The jurymen
attracted much attention, as, under
the supervision of the deputy sheriffs
they marched in forlong pairs down
Bull street to the hotel
The trial will probably be in essen
tial points similar to that of James L.
Doss, as the charge is the same on
which DosS was tried, it was the same
sCrape that got both men into trouble,
the witnesses will be pretty nearly the
SAINT do III TIE pIeCeuIIS case, anu the
same attorneys will represent the ac-
cused and represent the state.
According to the story of the ARRAY
told by Evenas when he was on the
witness stand in the trial of DOss, he
was standing at the cigar case at the
end of Cad Bryans bar when the
shooting between Doss and Bryan was
going on. Bennett was shooting at him
from the wine room, but as he could
not see Bennett he shot at Bryan hop
ing to prevent that man from killing
Doss. Two of his bullets struck Bry-
an. In addition to this charge Evans
will have to answer the charge of car
rying concealed weapons, though this
charge will not come up>in the present
trial.

LEE CRIB EXPECTED
THE NEWS THAT CAME,
Coffee County Murder Has Another
Month to Live.


Month to Live.
Lee Crib, the Coffee county murder
err, who is Jail here for safe keep
ing, was notified yesterday afternoon
through a letter from his attorneys
that Gov. Terrell had granted him
respite by which he has at least one
more month to live.
Crib was sentenced to be hanged
at Douglas next Tuesday, Nov. TO-
and was to have been taken to Doug
las next Monday but was respited by
the Governor until Dec. IL. Gov. Ter
rell granted the respite in CRIBS case
in order that the Prison Commission
might have sufficient time in which to
consider an application, which they
have received for a communication or
the death sentence.
The condemned man showed no emo
ton when he read the letter from his
attorneys bringing him the intelligence
that he had been respited, merely re-
marking to Jailer Seyden that he had
expected as much, but that now he
has more ground to hope that the
Prison Commission will take action to
save him from the gallows altogether.
The arrangements that had been made
by the Coffee county authorities to
take Crib to Douglas next week have
by the respite been broken into and
the condemned man will remain in the
charge of Jailer Seyden while await
ing the decision of the pardon board,
and at least until the day before his
execution if no interference is made in
his case.

MEM 0RIAL FRAMED
FOR CONGRESS.
Enthusiastic Meeting of the Deep
Water Committee.

Enthusiastic Meeting of the Deep
Water Committee.
At an enthusiastic meeting of the
Deep Water Committee, composed of
representatives of the trade bodies and
the city, held in the Mayors Office at
the City Exchange yesterday after
noon. the memorial that is to be pre-
sented to Congress was agreed upon.
This memorial was prepared by Sec
rotary Gamble and shows just how i'm
portant this port is. 1t was discussed
by the members of the committee and
the data and information contained
was considered carefully. The memo
rial will be printed and sent to both
branches of Congress. The addressing
of this memorial to Congress is really
the first move towards securing for
Savannah a thirty-foot channel. There
is a great deal of work to be done. but
all of the members are enthusiastic
and the project will be pushed until
something is accomplished.
Letters to Congressman.
At the meeting of the subcommittee,
recently held. Col. ]. H. Estill offered
to address letters to every congress-
man and senator and bring every pos
sible personal influence to bear in an
effort to secure the thirty-foot channel
for Savannah. Other work that must
be done will be divided and entrusted
to subcommittee so that it may be
done systematically and thoroughly.
But the memorial will be attended to
first and gotten to Congress.
Congressman Lester advised the sub
committee that this was the first step
to be taken, and there will be no delay
in having the memorial printed. Then
those who are interesting themselves
in the movement will have something
to call to the attention of those whose
influence is sought. A map showing
Savannah and it's tributary territory
will be a part of the memorial, and
Congress will hear from the three trade
bodies and City Council. The meeting
yesterday was not an oDen one and
was the starting of a campaign that is
certain to be attended with results.

eral interest in the project and have as
many people as possible working for
an appropriation that will mean a
thirty-foot channel. A survey will
have to be first ordered, and it is GER
tain to be two or three years before
what is desired can be secured. In
teresting data has been collected by
Secretary Gamble and the committee
will see to it that Savannah's advan-
tages are brought to the attention of
the entire country. Her eight miles
of wharfage, her enormous trade and
the size and number of the ships that
visit this port are matters that will
very shortly be brought forcibly to the
attention of the country, and the re-
suit cannot be but beneficial Now
that the project has been put in ac-
tual motion it will be pushed without
cessation by those gentlemen who
have undertaken to do the work.
