REWARD OFFERED
BY COAST Line
FOR MURRAYS SLAYER.
WILL GIVE 81 900 FOR APPREHEN-
SION OF THE MURDERER.

Murray's Death VIII he Avenged if
Hard Work and Money Can Bring
TO Justice the Man who Committed
the Murder at the 81 Mile Post.
Pres. X. G. Erwin offered Reward,
Acting for His COmpany-RaiIroad
People Determined to Push In
vestigatiOn of Crime.
A reward of $1,000 was offered yes
terday by the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company for the arrest
with evidence to convict, of the slayer
of l.. A. Murray. the section foreman,
who was shot down near Walthour-
vile Tuesday afternoon. The offer of
the reward is signed by Mr.. r. G.
Erwin, president of the company.
The railway officials. as we'll as the
officers who have investigated the case,
are satisfied that the slayer of Murray
was one of the Coast Line strikers.
Every possible effort is being made TO
catch the murderer. The best officers
to be obtained are at work on the case,
and the reward has been offered as an
additional incentive to the arrest of the
unknown party. The superintendent of
police was notified by one of the Off
Gals of the Coast Line that Mr.. Erwin
had determined upon offering the re-
ward. The offer was read to all the
force on night duty, as follows:
President Erwin Signed Notice.
lone thousand dollars reward will be
paid by the undersigned for the arrest
and delivery to A. P. Brewer. sheriff
of Liberty county, Georgia, with suffi-
cient evidence to convict, of the man
or men who killed l.. A. Murray near
the 37-mile post on the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad. Liberty county, Geor-
gia, Feb. %. 1904.

by r. G.. Erwin, president.
Savannah, Ga, Feb. "a, 1904"
The story of the killing of Murray
was fully told in the Morning News.
There have been no developments, other
than the offer of the reward. The dogs
were unable to track the assassin,
and there is no clue as to his
identity. 1t is not known even whether
Murrays slayer is a white man or ne
gro The officers who visited the scene
of the crime shortly after the shooting
occurred, are of the opinion that the
man WHO uieQ upon murray Hdu ilOL
premeditated the killing.
Small Shot Was Used.
The shot used were small ones. Only
at a very short distance would they
have produced death. The theory which
was first given in the Morning News to
the effect that the man firing had been
concealed behind a nearby tree and
was afraid of being surprised and found
out is still held by the officers. 1t is
thought he was striker or a sympath-
izer with the strikers, and that he had
intended to shoot into the gang of
Workmen on the tracks.
At long distance, the shot would not
have seriously injured any one Muir
ray, it is thought, simply happened to
approach the tree behind which the
man was concealed. He used his gun
then, it is thought, to keep from being
discovered. He probably knew that
Murray was armed and that he would
have taken no chances with one of the
strikers.
Murray was very popular in Liberty
| county, and an additional reward may
be offered by the residents in the vi
cinity of Walthoursville.

TOOK RING FROM
SICK W0MAN'S HAND.
Mary George Arrested on n Serious
Charge.

Mary George, a Syrian. was arrested
yesterday by Mounted Patrolman c. D.
Best, on the charge of robbing Mrs.
w. M. Bass of No. 1913 Abercorn
street.
The woman had entered the house
under pretense of having something to
sell. Mrs. Bass was ill in bed, but the
visitor gained admittance to her room,
and there took valuable gold ring
from her finger.
Mrs. Bass had been talking to the
woman only few minutes. when her
hand was seized and the ring pulled
from her finger. The Syrian claimed
the ring was her husbands. The off,
Ger was called, and as he approached
the ring was returned to its owner.
The woman claims she had been given
an address by her husband to go to
and get a ring that he had left
Through mistake she claims to have en-
tered the wrong house.
In support of her statement she ex-
hibited a sheet of paper upon which
some address had evidently heen writ
ten, though it was badly faded and
could not be made out. The police,
however, do not take much stock in
the woman's statement. They believe
she would have gotten away with the
ring had not an officer been nearby.
The Syrian will be given hearing be-
fore Recorder Myrick this morning.

NO BOND YET
FILED WITH MAYOR.
Fifteen Days Since Contract Was
Awarded to Leonard.

Fifteen Days Since Contract Was
Awarded To Leonard.
Mr.. S. S. Leonard. the contractor for
the new City Hall, has not yet filed a
bond with the city. The resolution
awarding Mr.. Leonard the contract was
passed on Feb. 10, and it was stated at
the time that fifteen days would be al
lowed him to give bond.
There is nothing in the resolution as
to a time limit, but that is the i'm
preston some of the city officials had of
the agreement. Mr.. Leonard has a
s. 500 deposit with the city, which can
be forfeited should he fail to furnish
the requisite bond.
To-day completes the fifteen days
from the time the contract was award
ed. Just how long the city officials will
wait on Mr.. Leonard for a bond is not
known should it not be furnished on
time.
Mr., Leonard says there is no fifteen
day limit, and that no time was speci-
fed. He announced several days ago
that a surety company had agreed to
go on the bond and more recently that
the bond was on its way here. But so
far the bond has not been rendered the
Mayor.
Mr.. Leonard says this has not delay
ed the work in the least, as the material
for the building is now being prepared.
He does not wish to begin work, he
says, until he can get a large quantity
of material on hand and is assured
there are TO be no delays on that score.
He states the old building can be torn
away in very short time, so there is
really no hurry about the matter now.

Is Only Mad with Him.


At the De Soto. where he has been
a guest for two weeks, A. G. Dali

rested last night by Detective Frank
T. Wall on a telegram from Wilkes
barre, Pa, stating that he was charged

Mr.. Dalrymple retained Col. r., L.
COlding as his attorney, who ar
ranged for the parole of his client in
the charge of Detective Wall until the
arrival of the papers and an officer
from Pennsylvania. The attorney
stated that the proceedings against
Mr.. Dalrymple were prompted by
pique. Col. Colding does not expect
that he will have much difficulty in
disposing of the case.
Dairymple's arrest came as sur
prise to those who had met him dur
ing his stay in the city. He is Ca
madam by birth, and has been in the
hotel business for the last ten years.

has no connection with anw of

sible for my arrest threatened me with
trouble if I did not remain, and ex-
hibited a revolver to make the dun

MERIDIAN ROAD FOR
AUTO SPEEDWAY.
Plan Suggested by Which Desired
Course Could BE Secured.

Course Could BE Secured,
The project of an automobile speed
way, which was referred to in the
Morning News yesterday, is attracting
considerable attention. Several plans
for such a road have been suggested.
namely: The building of new road,
the widening and utilizing of the
White Bluff road by building a speed
way alongside of it, or doing the same
with the Waters road.
The most feasible scheme, however,
appears to be the suggestion to finish
the at one time much discussed Me-
ridian road, which extends through
the Queensbury and Ashton planta-
tions, now known as the county farm.
This roadway extends on a parallel
running direct south from the me-
ridian of the City Exchange at a point
where the Smith & Kelly farm on the
Waters road and to a point between
Bethesda and Cedar Hammock.
The roadway is now built from the
Smith & Kelly line to the Montgomery
Cross Roads, distance of two and
one-half miles. The work on the road
was stopped when the board of
County Commissioners that bought
the county farm and projected the Me-
ridian road went out of office. their
successors not deeming it worth while
to continue the work.
BY widening this road and building
il to it's southern objective point,
making a roadway of six miles in
length, a good public driveway and an
automobile speedway combined, free
from railway crossings and bridges,
could be built. There are other ad-
vantages in this road, namely. that
the rights of way outside of the
county's property could be, secured at
a nominal cost, if any.

SPECIAL ORDINANCE
FOR SLOT MACHINES.
One Will he Introduced at the Next
Council Meeting.

One Will BE Introduced mt the Next
Council Meeting.
An ordinance relative to slot ma
chimes. imposing a license of 81 on each
machine in operation. will be intro
duced at the next meeting of Council.
AS was stated in the Morning News,
the city officials have determined upon
taxing these machines and an old re-
port of the Streets and Lanes Commit
tee was found to support the conten-
ton of those aldermen who favored
imposing the tax. Deputy Marshal
Hussey was accordingly instructed to
take a census of the machines in town
and this work was started yesterday.
On a few machines the license has al
ready been paid The report of the
Streets and Lanes Committee, which
has been used as a precedent, was upon
machines operated by one company
only. AS there may be some question
as to the city's authority for imposing
this license, a general ordinance will be
introduced by Alderman Dixon, as
chairman of the Finance Committee
City Attorney Garrard has been re-
quested by Mr.. Dixon to draw up an
ordinance. Mr. Dixon will ask that the
ordinance be read twice at the meeting
next Wednesday and that it be put
upon its passage.
Some opposition may develop to the
ordinance, but it is thought it will
be passed. The only question about the
matter that is worrying any of the al
dermen is that some slot machines in
the city are gambling devices. The city
OF course, has no right to license a
gambling device. Many of the ma
chimes have no chance feature at all
and these, of course, can be licensed
without question
1t is probable the ordinance will sim
ply tax all slot machines. The owners
of those that have the chance feature
might evade paying the license by maxi
ing the point that the city had no right
to license gambling device of any
kind. If this should be done, however
it would place the owners in the posi-
ton of admitting they were violating
the state law, and it is not probable
that any of them will wish to place
themselves in that attitude
