Held for Betraying Young Girl I'm
der Promise of Marriage.
Uric Huguenin. conductor on the
Atlantic Coast Line. was indicted yes
terday by the Superior Court grand
jury on the charge of betraying a
young woman under promises of mar
riage. The case is a peculiar one and
has been hanging fire for some time.
At the instance of the girl Huguenin
warrant issued by Justice Sheftall and
was held under bond for his appear
ance before the grand jury. Before
the case came up the girl signed
paper which had the effect of quash-
ing the charge and it was thought the
matter had been dropped. Later, how
ever, another warrant was taken out
in Justice Bevans' court. The matter
was brought to the attention of the
grand jury yesterday. The girl was
summoned to appear and briefly told
her story. She claimed Huguenin paid
her attention for some time and that
he finally proposed marriage. Under
the promise of this marriage she was
betrayed, and within d comparatively
short time thereafter Huguenin ceds-
ed his attentions to her.
Huguenin is represented by Attor-
neys Robert L. Colding and Edmund
H. Abrahams. The man comes of a
good family, having lived near
Charleston.
Besides the indictment of Huguenin
only two indictments We're returned
by the grand jury. Willie Sterling was
held on charge of murderously as
saulting Philip Daley, a revolver be-
ing the weapon used.
Ella Harris was indicted for larceny
from the house. The indictment
charges that the woman entered the
house of Albert Way and stole a dia-
mond and emerald ring valued at $50;
diamond and ruby ring valued at
$40, a topaz ring worth 81, and a gold
ring worth 50; making a total value of

Four bids were furnished yesterday
for furnishing the city with $4,000
square yards of vitrified brick, but no

After the bids were opened the COM

probably be made tomorrow at a spec
Eal meeting that has been called. Sam
pies of the brick were submitted with
each of the bids and these will be
tested before the award is made.
The firms bidding, together with the
prices and the number of brick to the
square yard, were as follows:

Occupant of House Missed Papers
for Many Days.
Frequent complaints about the steal
ing of the Morning News from a GER
tain house in the southern section Of
the city led to- an investigation. which
finally trapped one of the cleverest
newspaper thieves on record some time
ago.
At this particular house the paper
had been missing for a number of
mornings. Complaint was made and
special care was taken to see that this
house was not skipped The paper was
delivered but it invariably disappeared
before the owner of the house had got
ten up,,7and the complaints continued
to come in. sf ~ .
The superintendent of the circulation
department himself delivered the pa
per, one morning, but a kick was reg
istered as on the previous occasions
There was no paper when the owner
went to look for it. Satisfied that his
paper was being stolen after it was
delivered. the owner himself started to
watching.
Through a window he watched the
newsboy as he came down the street
delivering Tie pducrS- lHTOuRn the
blinds he saw the boy aim a paper at
his stoop and a second later he heard
it hit. But when he stepped out on the
porch the paper was nowhere in sight
He looked up and down the street and
there was no one in view except the
newsboy. The, thief had not had time
to get away and the owner did not
know what to make of 1t.
From under the house came the
pet dog of the family, wagging his TAIL
Thinking the thief may have hidden
under the stoop to avoid detection when
the front door was opened, the owner
made an Investigation and there all
piled together were the papers that
had been missing for so many MORN
ings. The dog had taken the paper
each morning as 1t was thrown on the
stoop and had made itself a rather ex-
pensive, but comfortable bed.

Judge Henry McAIpin Turns Over
Money Left by Once-Missing Man.
Judge Henry McAlpin of the Court
of Ordinary has turned over to At
torney Shelby Myrick, attorney for E.
H. Griffin and Mrs. e. H. Griffin, the
money left by the once missing man
at the Pulaski House.
This money amounted to 1925. Re
ceipts were taken by Judge McAlpin
from Mr.. Myrick in the name of both
the man and the wife. This finally dis
poses of one of the most mysterious
cases that has come to light in Savan-
nah in some time.
When Mrs. Griffin first made the de-
mand for her husbands money, when
it was thought he was dead the Or
binary refused to hand it over until
proof of death had been furnished and
an administrator appointed for the es-
tate.
Later when Griffin turned up, he de-
clined to give up the money until proof
was furnished that the man was sane.
Yesterday he received affidavits from
the Ordinary of Griffins home county.
certifying that the man had returned
and that he was sane. The money
was then promptly turned over to him.

DAUNTLESS HOSE CUT
AND NOT GNAWED.
Examination Shows Rats Had Moth
ing TO Do with 1t.

Examination Shows Rats Had Moth
ing to DO with 1t.
The hose of the tug Dauntless was
cut, says Supt. Mcguire of the fire de-
partment and apparently with sharp
knife.
He is positive, after the examination
made yesterday, that the gnawing of
rats had nothing to do with the tear
in the hose. Mayor Myers, who look
ed at the hose also, said he was sat-
isfied it had not been gnawed by rats.
Whether the hose had been cut with
knife or by rubbing over some sharp
point, the Mayor was unable to say,
but he is satisfied that it was cut.
The general belief now is that the
hose was maliciously cut. The re-
wards offered by the city and by Mr.
w. A. Bisbee. the owner of the tug,
may cause the guilty party to be APP
pretended, but so far no clue has been
obtained. The statement made the
firemen, when the hose was first taken
from the tug that it had been gnawed
by rats is what led to the belief that
the rats were responsible for the OPEN
ing discovered during the fire.
