RECHARGED THE JURY
IN THE B0URQUIN CASE.
Had Overlooked Fact That Case Was
CfrcumstantiaI.

CtrcumstantiaI.
Eddie Bourquin, a small negro boy,
was yesterday put on trial in the Su-
perior Court, charged with larceny
from the house.
1t was charged that the boy had en-
tered the Commercial Bank and taken
therefrom one diamond ring, which
he had later pawned.
The evidence against the boy was
purely circumstantial. He admitted
having had the ring, but claimed it
had been given him by another negro
a boy who ran away with the Fore
paugh circus.
The jury retired and after about
half an hours elaboration returned
with a verdict of guilty, with a rec
concentration for misdemeanor punish
ment, and to the extreme mercy of
the court. Judge Cam recommitted
the case to the jury, on the ground
that he had not charged them the
law governing circumstantial evil
dence.
This charge was then given and the
jury again retired. The jurors were
at deadlock and were instructed to
return with a sealed verdict. Bourquin
was represented by Col. r. L. Cold
ing.

PLAYMATES WILL
BE PALLBEARERS
YOUNG KUCK DIED YESTERDAY
YOUTH WHO WAS INJURED IN A
GAME OF FOOTBALL.


Hurt His Knee in scrimmage, and
Just as 1t Was Healing He Injured
1t Again and Tetanus Set In
Suffered Agony Before the End
Came-FuneraI VIII BE Held al
Church So schoOImates May At
tend.
One of the saddest funerals which
has taken place in Savannah in long
while will be that of young Herbert
Kuck to-day. He died at his fathers
home at No. 102 Taylor street, east,
yesterday morning at o'clock.
Eight playmates of the boy who
were with him at the time he was In
jured, will bear him to his last resting
place. and his classmates, who knew
and loved him for his manliness, will
be a part of the funeral cortege.
The death of young Kuck is peculiar
ly sad. Two weeks ago. while playing
football at Charlton and Drayton
streets with boys of his own age, he
had his knee badly lacerated in a
scrimmage, some hard substance on
the ground cutting nearly to the bone.
Beyond immediate pain in the vicinity
of the wound, he felt no ill effects.
Wound Carefully Dressed.
He went home, where his mother
carefully bathed the wound and band
aged it, 1t was also dressed by physi-
clans later, and was healing rapidly.
Last Friday afternoon while playing
with a friend in front of his fathers
store, he fell, his knee striking the
curbing. The old wound was reopened.
On the following day the boy COM
planned that his jaws were paining him
much and he believed they were going
to lock
Mrs. Kuck became alarmed and call
ed in a physician. Before he arrived
the boy was in agony and the dreaded
tetdnus had set in and young Kuck
could not open his jaws. Physicians
decided Tuesday that an operation was
necessary, and the knee cap was open
ed. Previous to this the boy had been
in commissions, and his jaws were tight
~ locked.
PIaymntes VIII Attend Funeral.
Tuesday afternoon he seemed to be
much better, and was able to speak to
his mother, but during the night he
grew rapidly worse, and the end came,
quietly, at o'clock.
Among his playmates Herbert Kuck
was regarded as one of the most man.
ly of his years. He was a splendid
athlete and was always sought in the
games where skill and strength were
desired.
In compliance with a request made
by members of his class at the High
School the funeral will be held at the
Lutheran Church of the Ascension this
afternoon at $3.50, so that his class
mates may attend in a body. The in
terment will be in Bonaventure Gene
terry and the following boys will act
as pallbearers: Masters Homer
Rawls, VIII Denham, Rex Oliveros,
Wallace Howard, Sylvan Byck, Oldin

AMENDED FIRE DRILL
ORDINANCE PASSED.
Ordinance More Rigid Than Was at
First Intended Adopted.

Ordinance More Rigid Than Was at
First Intended Adopted.
The fire drill ordinance, amended so
as to make its requirements more ex-
acting. was passed at the meeting OF
Council last night.
The amendment, offered by Alder
man Dixon, provided that the number
fifty should be substituted for one
hundred, wherever 1t appeared in the
ordinance so that the drills under
the amended ordinance will have to be
held in all places where they are fifty
women or children employed
The ordinance as amended was
adopted without a single dissenting
vote. When it was read for the second
time, Alderman Thomas asked if the
Board of Education had made any
protest, and he was told that none
had been filed with the city.
The ordinance is now effective. 1t
requires that fire drills must be held
in schools at least twice a month.
and in factories or other places, where
fifty or more children or females are
employed, once a month. For failure
to comply with the ordinance the per-
son or persons in charge of the school,
or other place, may be punished by
the Recorder. Mayor Myers says the
city attorney has held that the ordi-
nance is perfectly legal.

MAYOR DOESN'T BELIEVE

Mayor Myers has issued special tn
structions to the police department for
the officers to watch out for horses in
juring shade trees, but he says he does
not believe anything like the number
of trees that the Park and Tree Com
mission claims have really been killed
by horses.
The trees have probably died or
gotten something the matter with
them,'' said the Mayor. Il doubt if
horses have killed as many as twenty
five trees, much less the number the
commission claims. We, of course.
want to protect the trees and 1 have
therefore asked the police to pay spe-
cial attention to the matter.
But peculiar feature of the mat
ter to me is that not a single case has
been docketed by the four special Off
GERS I swore in for the Park and Tree
Commission. If horses have been in
Juring the trees at the rate charged,
why have not these officers made
cases?
The men were sworn in that they
might make arrests or. docket cases
where the ordinances protecting the
parks and squares, flowers and trees
and so on, were being violated. I GER
tainly don't understand why they have
not made at least a few cases if horses
have been destroying the trees at the
rate charged

That was the rather unusual verdict
returned in the case against Mike Han
son, charged with assault and battery.
by trial jury in the Superior Court
yesterday.
The defendant had been indicted at
the instance OF A. Klugman, who
claimed that without any provocation
he had assaulted him and administered
some cruel and unusual punishment.
The evidence failed to disclose that
there had been any assault, and the
jury returned the strange verdict given
above. There was some evidence
brought out to show that there had
been some enmity between the two
men.
A second indictment that was hang
ing over Hanson, in which he was
charged with using violent, profane
and abusive language to the wife of
A. klugman, was withdrawn. a nolle
prosequi being entered at the request of
the prosecutor. He stated to the So
licitor that he saved money by taking
such a course. and that he was disin-
clined to risk any more juries.
IL has been a long while since a
verdict placing the costs on the prose-
cutor has been returned in the Supe-
rior Court.

CAN'T BUILD ON
HIS OWN PROPERTY
so THE CITY DECIDES.
THIRTY-FIFTH STREET AGAIN
ENGAGES ATTENTION OF COUNCIL.

B. d. ROsenbrOoIS Filed Petition
Asking to Be Allowed to Erect n
House on His Lot in EstiII Ward
Within the Projected Lines of the
Street-AIderman Dixon Favored
Granting Petition, but 1t Was De-
cided to Table 1t.
Council, after having declined to open
Thirty-fifth street. between Bull and
Barnard, came very near granting per-
mission last night for the erection of
a house within the projected lines of
the street. This would have probably
forever barred the possibility of open
ing the street.
The petition asking to be allowed 20
build a house within the projected
lines, which had been filed by b. d.
Rosenbrook. was finally tabled, but
even this action leaves Council in a
peculiar position.
The aldermen have declined to open
the street. or even to consider opening
it until next year. and yet they will
not give a citizen permit to build
on his own property, because the ex-
tension of the street has been pro-
posed. In other words the city de-
clines to buy the property, and also
declines to allow the owner to use it.
Has Waited Twelve Months.
The petition from Mr.. Rosenbrook
is as follows:
THE board of tax assessors have
granted me permission to build on lot
No. 49, Estill ward, provided there is
no encroachment on lines, or project
ed lines. of streets"
AS your honorable body has lately
decided not to open the street, into
the projected lines of which this lot
extends, l respectfully ask permission
from your board to build upon said
lot so as to place me in better posi-
ton If a succeeding administration
sees fit to open this street.
Il beg to call your attention to the
fact that l have waited nearly twelve
months for permission from the city
authorities to improve this lot, and re-
spectfully ask an early consideration
of this matter. Awaiting a favorable
reply, respectfully, B. D. Rosenbrook."
Grant 1t, Said Dixon.
When the petition was read, Alder
man InOI1dS, the chairman OF. the Up
ening Streets Committee, stated the
house would be in the lines of Thirty
fifth street. Alderman Dixon here in
terrupted him and asked him if he
didn't mean in the lines of the street,
as contemplated.
Alderman Thomas replied he meant
the lines of the street as defined in the
city ordinance, and Alderman Dixon
said such lines were not on the map.
Alderman Thomas said as consideration
of opening the street had been deferred
until January, he did not think per-
mission should be given for house to
be erected within the lines of the
street.
Alderman Dixon said the city ought
either to buy the lot or allow the owner
to use it. 1t was not right to refuse to
buy the property, he said, and at the
same time refuse to allow the owner TO
build on it. He made motion to grant
the petition.
Mayor Myers said if the opening of
the street was to be considered in Jan
uary, he did not think permission
should be given for building there now.
Alderman Garfunkel made a motion
to table the petition, and this was car
ried.

WILL CONDEMN PAVING
ON whitaker STREET.
Resolution Providing for Inspection
Passed by Council.

raised by Council
A resolution by the Committee OF
the Whole. providing for the condem-
nation Of the present cobblestone pave
ment on Whitaker street, from Ogle-
thorpe avenue to CASTOR street, was
adopted by Council at the meeting last
night.
The resolution provides that the di-
rector of public works and the city
engineer shall make an examination
Of the pavement and report upon it's
condition at the next meeting of Coun-
Gil, so the aldermen may be in posi-
ton to provide new one, If the pres
ent one is not seryiceable.
Alderman Dixon said he did not see
the use in going through condemna-
ton proceedings and the director of
public works explained that the city
attorney had advised it. While it
might not be necessary, it would be
the wise plan, the city attorney had
held, and would probably save litiga-
tion. Alderman Dixon withdrew his
objections, remarking he guessed he
had better take the advice that the
city paid to get. Col. Garrard, the city
attorney, was not at the meeting.

ORDERED ACQUITTAL;
LECTURED DEFENDANT

When the state rested its case in
the prosecution of Lizzie Regular,
charged with burglary, the attorney
for the defendant moved for a verdict
of acquittal on the ground that the
case had not made out its case.
This was at first refused and the
case proceeded. Later Judge Cam de-
cided that he had erred In refusing the
motion, and granted it. A verdict of
aequittal was at once signed by the
foreman of the jury. In dismissing
the defendant Judge Cam told her that
her record was an unsavory one and
If she was convicted before him he
would impose the limit of the law.
