UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Murphy So Decides the Eight
Hour Law

The first round of the contest with
the much talked of eight-hour law has
been decided against the law. The test
trial that was held in Dayton Tes-
day, in which Professor Phillips ap-
peared as the defendant. has been de
cided by Judge Murphy, and his decis-
ion is against the law He declared
it unconstitutional.
This is the first step in the legal
battle The case will now be appeal
ed to the Supreme Court. which will
settle the question. and if it is declar-
ed to be unconstitutional in that body
the loop holes in the law will be point
ed out. and the next Legislature will
be given another turn at law making
in this line
The law is the most talked of any
that passed the Legislature of last
winter. Both political parties went to
| the polls pledged to support this meas
ure. The bill was framed, passed and
signed with littleo no opposition. At
the time. a number of lawyers and
others so believed that they knew con-
stftutional law. declared the Act i'll
legal, and the decision as rendered by
Judge Murpny was anticipated by
those who had followed the law in all
of its phases The legal battle that is
to follow will be an interesting one
not only for this State. but for the
frame labor laws.

MURDERS WILL
BE INVESTIGATED.

Grand Jury Will Probe Larceny,
Burglary, Murder and Assault Cases.
For a crime which he is alleged to
have committed twelve years ago
Jesse Hansberry will probably be in
dicted by the grand jury this afternoon
at its weekly session. The crime with
which Hansberry is charged is the
murder of Harris Ellis in Sackville.
He escaped shortly afterwards, but
was apprehended in Brunswick by
Deputy Sheriff Sweeney and brought
back to Savannah yesterday
Another murder will also be inves-
tigated; that of T. r. Smith, a white
man, who was assaulted with a brick
and a billet of wood at his store on
Farm street, and who afterwards died
in commissions at the hospital. At
the coroner's inquest, held a few days
after the crime was committed. the
jury found that the deed had been
committed by one Ed Green, a negro.
and 1t is probable that an indictment
will be returned against him this aft
ernoon.
Several other cases will be investi
gated, among them those of Frank
Smith, John F. O'Gorman and Frank
Hicks, the three white lads who are
charged with a daring burglary in the
store of William & II. H. baltimore
about three weeks ago. Andrew Wash
lngton will probably be indicted for
larceny from the house; and Mary
Gould for assault and battery.

1000 TONS OF COAL
DISCOVERED ON FIRE
Firemen Fought, Fire I'm Herman's

AOne@hAf AEC IN
Coal Yard.
At 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
telephone call was received at Engine
House No. l, and a wagon was sent
to Herman's Coal and Wood yard. at
the foot of East Broad street. There
the firemen found a pile of coal, in
which there was probably a thousand
tons, on fire. The smoke and steam
from the burning coal was very plain
evidence, but the fire was down in the
middle of the great black beau, and
water was of no use under the cir
cumstances. The owners were advised
to have the mountain dug into and the
firemen left, with the understanding
that when the fire was reached, if
needed. they would return. A force
of laborers was put at work digging
down into the coal, and last night they
were still looking for the fire. Up to
midnight they had not again asked for
assistance from the fire department.
Coal fires such as this are generally
supposed to arise from spontaneous
combustion. The damages in this case
cannot be correctly estimated at this
time.

IN A DIVORCE TRAP
RETURNING AFTER FIVE YEARS
TO WIFE AND CHILDREN
HUSBAND LODGED IN JAIL,
SERVED WITH DIVORCE SUIT AND

by officer.
AS he stepped from the train at the
Union Station yesterday morning,
thinking to return to his wife and chill
dren, in response to letter which lie
had received a few days before in Gin
cinnati. Louis Cohen was served with
a divorce suit which had but a few
minutes before been instituted in the
Superior Court by his wife, Mrs. Sarah
Cohen, and was arrested and commit
ted to Jail under a warrant charging
him with abandonment.
A few days ago Cohen received a let
ter from his wife, urging him to return
to her, that she had a business worth
$4,000. and was unable to conduct il
and properly care for her children. She
had been left large estate, the letter
said. In response to the letter, Cohen
wired that he would come to Savannah.
He was then in the employ of the Gin
cinnati Street Railway, and resigned 10
return to his family.
Cohen now occupies a cell in Jail.
He says he had no idea that he was
being cajoled into a trap, and he fully
anticipated returning to live with his
wife and children. He denies that he
abandoned her. but says he left Savan-
nah because his wife would not live
with him. The letter which he received,
it is said. was written by one of the
brothers of his wife. Kaminiski.
When Cohen alighted from the train
he was met by the three brothers of
his wife. and was taken to breakfast.
1t was then that a constable from Jus
tice Nathan's court. armed with the
warrant for abandonment and the di-
vorce proceeding, informed him that
he must consider himself under ar
rest.
At his insistence he was taken to see
his wife. There re took his little boy
in his lap. and Rugged and kissed him.
He importuned his wife to let him re-
turn, but received scant response.
When the time came for him to leave
for the Jail, he held in his arms the
boy whom he had not seen for FIVE
years, and wept bitterly. Before going
TO Jail he turned over to the officer and
the brothers of his wife his personal
effects, including satchel, ring, watch
and money. He claims that he begged
leave to make a statement, but that he
was told TO reserve it for the courts.
Cohen claims he has ever been low
ing and affectionate husband; that he
has, during his separation from his
wife frequently sent her money, and
has always been willing 10 return to
her.
Mrs. Cohen, on the other hand, claims
that her husband abandoned her and
her children, failing to provide for
them, and that two of the boys, the re-
suit of the marriage, are now in home
in Atlanta. because of her inability to
support them. The trial of Cohen on
the abandonment charge will be held
in the City Court, probably to-day.
