PATRICK CONNORS WILL
BE FREED THIS WEEK.
Governor VIII Act on Prison Com
missions Recommendation at Once.

Governor VIII Act on Prison Com
missions Recommendation at Once.
Patrick Connors of Savannah, who
for the last six years has been serv-
ing a sentence in the penitentiary for
the killing of Thomas Munro, negro,
will walk out of his prison home this
week, a free man.
The action of the Pardon Board last
Saturday in recommending full par
don for Connors insures his liberty.
Gov. Terrell will act on the matter to-
day or tomorrow.
Messrs. Robert Colding and Shelby
Myrick appeared before the Prison
Commission last Friday and presented
a petition signed by every living men,
Der of the grand and petit juries which
indicted and convicted COnnors, ask
ing that he be pardOned. 1t was one
of the strongest applications ever pre-
scented to the commission.
Connors was convicted of voluntary
manslaughter June rs, 1897, and was
sentenced to fifteen years in the pen
itentiary. He has served six years
of the term.
The evidence in the case against
Connors was that Munro entered his
bar, and Connors ordered him out.
The negro refused to go, saying that
Connors was not boss. Connors pushed
him out, and the negro commenced
cursing him, and, according to Con-
nors' statement, was advancing with
a heavy stick in his hand when he
shot. Only one shot was fired, the
bullet entering the negro's side and
causing immediate death. There were
two mistrials in the case before Con-
nors was finally convicted.

STABBED UNDER THE HEART
IN STREET FIGHT.
joe Demere, Well known Negro,
May Die from wounds.

may DIG from WOunOss
In an effort to collect SO cents due
his mother for board, Joe Demere, a
negro well known in police circles, was
seriously, if not fatally, cut on Wheaton
and East Broad streets about noon
yesterday.
Shelby Tillie, another negro is held
at the police station charged with the
crime. Although Detective Murphy has
witnesses who say they saw Tillie use
the knife, and in the face of a state
ment from Demere that he did the cut
ting, the prisoner denies his guilt.
He was arrested after a hard chase
through the Tenderloin. several hours
after the cutting, and at first claimed
not to know Demere. Later he ad-
mitted that he had lived with Demere's
mother, and that he owed her so cents
board. He said that Demere had made
an effort to collect the money and that
they had a wordy alteration.
Tillie denied, however, that any blows
were struck, or that he even had
knife on his person. He failed to ex-
or why he ran when the officers final
ly located him. The cutting ARRAY was
witnessed by several people, and in a
remarkably short space of time there
were several hundred on the scene.
A score of uniformed and plain
clothes men searched the neighborhood
in vain for Tillie, and it was not un-
til 3 o'clock that he was found in a
house in York lane. Demere was taken
in the police ambulance to the Geor-
gia lntirmary, where he is receiving
medical attention. He is suffering
from several wounds, one being a deep
and ugly cut just under the heart.

LEE CRIBB'S FATE
DECIDED TO-DAY.
Commission Appointed BY Governor
To Meet at the Jail.

Commission Appointed BY Governor
To Meet at the Jail.
The commission, composed Of DR..
Elton S. Osborne, of this city, DR.. j.
r. Walker, of Waycross, and DR.. James
B. Baird, of Atlanta, to examine into
the mental condition of Lee Crib,
acting upon the orders of Gov. Ter
rell, will meet to-day at the Chat
ham county Jail, and make a thorough
examination of the prisoner whose fate
hangs with their decision as to whether
or not he is a sane man.
DIR. Osborne has received a telegram
from Gov. Terrell notifying him of
his appointment as a member of TINS
commission, and ordering that the eX-
animation be held at once. DR.. Walker
and DR.. Baird, the other members Of
the commission, are expected TO arrive
in the city from their respective homes
during the morning. No hour has
yet been appointed for the eXamina-
ton of the condemned man.
Crib was notified that the eNamina-
ton would be held but the news did
not appear to affect him in the least.
He only stated that his mind has al
ways been effected at times and that
his mental arrangement is hereditary
affected in the same manner. He ap-
pears to have abandoned all hope Of
escape from the gallows on next Fri
day, to which day he was granted an
additional respite by the Governor,
in order that the commission might
have time to make its examination,
and his manner has undergone a de-
cided change, the prisoner having
broken under the great strain. He
spends a great deal of his time pray
ing or lying still and perfectly quiet
on his cot with his face downward.
Although no death watch has been
placed over the condemned man, as
is customary in some parts of the
country, the turkeys nave kept an
eye on him since he was informed
that the Prison Commission had re-
fused to interfere in his case, but this
is merely to prevent him from doing
himself any personal injury if he
should become so inclined.
Whether Crib will hang on
next Friday depends upon the decision
of the commission, and the examina-
ton will be more extended than that
made by DIR. CorsOn, who attested to
Cribb's INSANITY

LOOKING FOR FORMER
CAPTAIN CARTER.
His Friends in Savannah VIII Not
BE Surprised to See Him.


BE Surprised to See Him.
That former Capt. Oberlin M. Carter
is in Savannah under an assumed name,
is the rumor that was current yesterday
Mr.. Walter G.. Charlton, who has rep
resented Carter since the time of his
trial by court martial in 1897, was ask
ed about the reported presence of his
client, but could give no information.
Mr.. Charlton expressed no surprise
at the rumor of the visit to Savannah.
nor in fact did any one else who was
asked about it as it seems to be general
ly understood from the former Captains
statements, both before and since Ieav-
ing prison, that he intended getting ev-
idence to clear his name before the
civil court, when he should be called be-
fore it, and it would be natural that
in order to do so, he would visit Sa-
vannah.
The former officers friends in Sa-
varnah would not be surprised to see
him shortly, though just what he in
tends to do or hopes to accomplish by
his presence can only be guessed at.

In Savannah the prediction was veri-

POLICE STATION.

Jacksonville Officers Have Not Given

Determined and Appear to Have

Authorities Have Several Cases
Against Men-Prisoners Shipped
Some Money from Jacksonville.
Smoking Is cents cigars and eating
their meals from the best restaurant
in the city, the profession safe blowers
who robbed Foye & Eckstein's place
are at present having a rather easy
time of it in Mobile.
Detective j. ]. Murphy returned yes
terday after having seen the crooks.
He recognized them as two men who
were in Savannah during the recent fair
and race meet. But they were too wise
to admit anything, or make any state
ment at all. The chief of police of
Mobile stated that the men are 'hu-
man." and they are faring very nice
ly in the Alabama Jail
But the safe blowers will have a
pretty hard time of it before they again
regain their liberty, in the opinion
of the Savannah detective who was on
the scene. Detective Murphy says that
the Birmingham officers have three
charges of Swallowing against the men,
and have absolute proof in one case.
The Jacksonville officers, too, have
much stronger case than was at first
believed and are still fighting to get
hold of the prisoners.
When the plain clothes man from
Savannah realized that he had no
chance of getting the men, he lodged
his warrant with the Alabama authorR
ties and left for home. He says that
the Mobile officers prefer to let the
Jacksonville authorities have the two
men, but that Birmingham is making
stubborn fight for them. In the
mean time they have been remanded
until Thursday on four charges in
Mobile. They are charged with TAX
ing stolen property into the city, with
carrying concealed weapons, and with
having burglars tools.
Although Detective Murphy recog-
nized the prisoners, neither fiinched
and neither had anything to say. They
appeared perfectly happy and seemed
to think that their lawyer would find
some way to get them out of their
trouble. While the men had more than
$1,000 on them when arrested it APP
pears that they shipped a sum of
money from Jacksonville. One of the
crooks is said to have a sister in Chi
cagO, and before the week is out the
Alabama officers believe they will have
the men fully identified.
The Jacksonville negro who pointed
the safe blowers out saw them max
ing a rope ladder that was used by
them in getting to the roof of the dry
goods store that they visited in the
Florida city. When the men were
placed in custody the one known in
Savannah as Duncan stated that it
was the first time he had ever been
taken" and that it would be the last
He is believed to be an exceedingly
dangerous criminal
Detective Murphy examined the
tool that is used in taking a knob
from the lock of safe and says that
it is the most unique and at the same
time dangerous tool that he has seen
in a long while. a full description of
this latest device used by safe blow
ers was given in the Morning News.

TO SELECT DELEGATES
COMMITTEE WILL MEET.

Georgia Soldiers to Attend Inter-
state National Guards Association.
The Executive Committee of the Off
GERS Association will be held in Sa-
vannah Dec. 81. Circulars to MEM
bers of the association requesting their
attendance are now being sent out and
will result, it is believed, in a large
gathering.
The association consists of active and
retired officers of the Georgia State
Troope and was formed at the original
meeting of the advisory board, held
in Atlanta last May. The object of
the organization is cooperation with
similar organizations of other states
and the furtherance of the interest OF
the militia of Georgia by bringing up
questions from time to time to the
consideration of the Legislature and
in a general way to promote the well
fare of the state troops.
The organization has right to send
eleven delegates to the meeting of the
Interstate National Guards Assocla-
ton, which will be held in st. Angus
tine the latter part of January, and
the selection" of these delegates will
be one of the chief matters to come
before the executive meeting at its
session to be held here. All members
of the association are invited to be
present, though, of course, the deci-
sion in the selection of the delegates
will remain only with members of
the committee.
Among the local members of the Ex-
ecutiVe Committee are Lieut.. Col. w.
L. Grayson of the First Regiment, In
fantry, Col. P. w. Meldrim of the First
Regiment Cavalary, and Maj. w. w.
Williamson of the Artillery. Col Gray
son is the secretary of the associa-
ton.
The Interstate National Guards As
ISOLATION is the organization that was
largely instrumental in having adopt
ed the military act of Jan. q, 1903,
commonly known as the Dick Bill. Its
last meeting was held at Columbus
o., when among the delegates from
Georgia were Col. G. A. Gordon of
the First Regiment Infantry, and Col.
w. G. Obear, inspector of state troops.

burglary yesterday morning at $3.50
o'clock when his gong rang and No 25
showed up on the board. Running to
his back window, from which 1t is pos

men jump quickly into a hack and
drive rapidly away.
Last night at IL o'clock and again at
midnight the gong announced that the
burglars We're at their work, but both
times they seem to have heard the
gong across the street and FASTENED
away before Mr.. HUMPHREYS could get
near them.
Examining the cellar door on the
sidewalk Mr.. HUMPHREYS discovered
where the burglars had forced a crow
bar between the pavement and the door
and attempted to pry it open.

COUNCIL WILL AGREE
ON APPROPRIATIONS
Aldermen to Work with Pencils
and Pads Tonight.

At a meeting of City Council to-
night the appropriations for next year
will be agreed upon and the alder
men will get the budget for 1904 in
shape to pass with the tax ordinance
by the next regular meeting.
In figuring on the schedule of ex-
penses for next year, Mayor Myers
win insist that $4,000 be set aside for
the new City Hall that is to be erect
ed by Dec. l. At the same time $4,000
must be put away for the Gwinnett
street tunnel, upon which, it is ex-
pected, work will be begun early in
the year. A new fire engine costing
$4,000, the salary of $1,000 for building
inspector and the money that the alder
men themselves receive must all be
provided for before the department eX-
penses are figured on
Small increases will be made III sew
eral of the department appropriations,
but the aldermen will not agree on
any increases in salaries for another
year yet. Because of the unusual eX-
penditures that must be made during
1904, it is not thought that Council will
be able to set aside any money for
the construction of a sewer IN Terry
lane. The figures to be agreed upon
by the aldermen will not be passed
until the new tax ordinance has been
gotten in shape.

ELKS PLAN FOR BANQUET.
Distinguished Men from Many Sec
tiOnS to BE Invited,

The committee of arrangements for
the annual banquet of the Elks held
a meeting yesterday to discuss plans
in connection with that affair. The
date on which it will take place, for
merly agreed on at Jan. u, has been
placed one week later so that the ban
quet will be given instead on the 18th.
AS has been stated in the Morning News
before, the Elks are determined to
make this affair the most elaborate of
any heretofore given in the city, not
only by their organization, but by any
organization.
The banquet will take place in the
main dining room of the De Soto,
where preparations to accommodate be-
tween 200 and $50 guests will be made.
The menu, decorations and other and
similar incidentals, have been placed
in competent hands, and the chief
thing that now remains to be done
is to arrange the toasts and secure
the speakers. This work is now be-
ing done. 1t is probable that there
will be six toasts and likely that five
of them will be as follows: Sweet
hearts and Wives" Georgia." "Our
Sister Societies" and Benevolent Pro-
tective Orders of Elks," 1.-The Press. 3"
THESE toasts have not all definitely
been decided on, but are at least be-
ing considered. One speaker has been
secured, Mr.. Walter C. Hartridge. It
is likely that among the others will
be some of the most distinguished
men of the state. Among those to
whom invitations to be present will be
extended will be two past exalted
rulers of the order, both of them resi-
dents of the North.
The committee in charge of arrange
ments consists of Chas. Marks, chair
man; w. H. Connerat, Jr., Adolph LET
