ARRESTED ON UGLY CHARGE.
Lad of Fort Screven Taken Back to
Detroit to Stand Trial

Joseph Renathan. a soldier at Fort
Screven, who has been wanted for sew
eral months in Detroit for a criminal
assault upon Victoria Reffenberg, a
young white girl Is years old, was yes
terday placed under arrest by Deputy
Sheriffs Dixon and Humbert of De-
troit, who had in their possession a
requisition of the Governor of Michigan
upon the Governor of Georgia, which
had been honored by Gov. Terrell.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed nearly a year ago. A war
rant was at the time sworn out against
Renathah though it was understood
that the prosecution would be dropped
If he married the girl. Instead of com
plying to this request he enlisted in the
army. and was sent to Savannah. He
was well liked at the fort, and his COM
rades noticed nothing suspicious or I'M
manly in his conduct.
AFTER his arrest he was taken to the
Jail. where he stayed until the depar-
ture of the Atlantic Coast Line train
for Jesup, when, in charge of the dep
uties, he left for his home where he
goes to stand trial for the offcnse.

1T FAILED TO FIRE
MURDERER's PISTOL SNAPPED IN
PATROLMAN's FACE.
OFFICER USED OWN WEAPON.
AS NEGRO RAN BROWN EMPTIED
REVOLVER AT HIM.

Shooting Occurred at Bull and
BrOughtOn Streets and OccasiOned
n Great Deal of Excitement-AI-
though the Fugitive Escaped in
BrOughtOn Lane the PatrOIman is
Certain That He Wounded His
Man-SpOtter Had Reported to
Man in Uniform That Detectives
Were After the Murderer and
Brown Was Trying to Arrest Him.
Wanted by the city detectives for
murder committed in some other baili-
wick a desperate negro, who
has not yet been positively identi-
fed, attempted to kill Patrolman J. E.
Brown near Broughton and Bull
streets at o'clock last night.
The negro drew a revolver and snap
ped it several times at the uniformed
man. But for the fact that the
weapon refused to explode Brown
would have been killed or badly
wounded. He drew his own weapon
and fired two shots at the negro, who,
however, made his escape. The shoot
citement on Broughton street.
Put Next by n SpOtter.
The patrolman was near Drayton
and Broughton streets when a spotter
approached and stated that there was
a negro near Bull street who was be-
ing hunted for by the detectives. He
told the man in uniform that the fugi-
tive had committed murder and that
the plain clothes men were particular
ly anxious to get hold of him. The
spotter could not locate any of the de-
tectives and fearing that the murderer
would get away appealed to the man
in uniform.
Accompanied by the spotter Brown
started in the direction of Bull street
He had reached about the middle of
the block when he came face to face
with the murderer and started to-
wards him for the purpose of making
the arrest. The negro was wise in an
instant and whipped out a glimmering
revolver. The pistol was put almost
under the nose of Brown and snapped
twice. The man in uniform reached
for his own gun and, seeing that his
weapon would not fire, the negro turn
ed and ran towards Bull street. Brown
called to him to halt, but the muir
derer paid no attention to the order.
Opened Fire on the Fugitive.
At Bull street the officer opened fire
and the fugitive turned into Broughton
lane, going west. Because of the
presence of pedestrians the patrolman
had been prevented from shooting be-
fore this time. AS the murderer turned
into the lane Brown fired his last
shot and the negro was seen to throw
his hand to his hip. When the officer
turned into the lane. however, no
trace of the man could be found and
careful search failed to reveal his
hiding place. The patrolman made a
report of the matter at police head
quarters and stated that he was GER
tain he had shot his man. During the
excitement the spotter was lost and
the city detectives were unable to tell
which of several murderers the man is.
II the negro was wounded the likeli-
hood is that he will be unable to es-
cape arrest.

MONEY LENDING
COLLECTORS ARRESTED.
Two Young Men Arrested Upon Conn
plant of Hopkins Loan Co.

Two Young Men Arrested Upon Conn
plant of Hopkins Loan Co.
Because they did not turn in the
amount of their collections on or about
Nov. Is, George w. billiard and Lee
Nelson Gum, two young white men,
employed by the Hopkins Loan Com
pany on West Broad street, were ar
rested yesterday afternoon by consta-
BILE Beckett, upon a warrant from JUS
tice Nathan's court, charging larceny
after trust, and were landed in the
county Jail in default of $500 bond each
1t appears from the affidavits that
the prisoners. who are of good adj
dress. have been employed for several
months by the loan company, the for
mer having been in the position of col
lector for the last three or four years,
collected from customers sums In No
Vember that they did not report on
or turn into the company.
The warrants for their arrests were
made by one M K. Jones, cashier of
the Hopkins concern, who certifies in
the affidavit that upon an investigation
of the collections of the two men he
found that the former had collected
reported or turned it into the office
Gum is alleged to be guilty of like
oHense on or about the same date, he
having secured from customers $14
which was never turned in or account
ed for.
Both men were found by Constable
Beckett at the office of the Loan COM
.pany. After being arrested they We're
taken to the office of Justice Nathans
n nd an Anfn af l.,H
mitted to Jail to await a hearing.
While no hearing was had. billiard
admitted having spent the money he
collected, but claimed that he had per-
mission from Jones to appropriate it.
with the understanding that it was to
be taken from his salary gradually I'M
til paid. Gum denied having appro-
priated any amount whatever to his
own use, and claimed to have turned
in every cent he had collected be-
longing to the Hopkins Loan Com
pany.
Jones puts up different claim. He
stated, in making out the warrant.
that neither of the men had been au-
thorized by him, or any others of the
company, to use their collections for
personal benefit, and insisted he had
not permitted billiard to apply to his
own use the company's money.
Both of the young men appeared
greatly chagrined at their predicament,
and were particularly anxious that the
matter be kept private. They said that
they will be able to furnish bail as
