TOO MUCH FORCE CAUSED
THIEF TO LOSE WATCHES,
But by Breaking Glass window He
Secured Several Pistols.

Secured Several Pistols
Several revolvers were stolen from
the show window of Max Sutker.s
place at Hull and West Broad streets
early yesterday morning and but for
the bungle made by the robber a. doz-
en- or more watches would have been
taken.
The lower four feet of the large win
dow is protected by a wire grating
and Just above this, on a rod. hung a.
number of watches. On the side of
the window the pistols were displayed.
The thief found it impossible to
move the grating and could not reach
the articles in the bottom of the win
dow from any opening he might make
above the grating. He made his plans
accordingly.
heavy stone was wrapped in a
handkerchief and the sling was used
in knocking a hole in the glass Just
above the grating. The robber struck
the glass with too much force and
the sling went entirely through.
knocking the rod of watches down. 1t
was impossible for him to reach
through the opening to the bottom of
the window, where the watches had
fallen, and he had to be content with
the pistols which hung on the side of
the window. A report of the robbery
was made at police headquarters, but
no arrests have been made.

THREE ARRESTS MADE
IN THE LYMAN CASE.
Police Determined, II Possible, to
Solve Mystery of Note.

Solve Mystery of Note.
Determined to leave no stone I'M
turned in an effort to locate the negro
burglar who entered the residence of
Mr.. J. II. Lyman at No. ITO Park ave-
nue., east, last Monday night, and to
solve the mystery surrounding the
placing of note of warning in the
writing desk of Miss Eloise Lyman,
three arrests were made by Detective
Bosuck yesterday morning.
Just who the suspects are, or what
evidence there is against them the po-
lice are unwilling, at this time to say.
The officers are now confident, how
ever, that the note found by Miss
Lyman in her room Thursday morning,
and which threw her into an hysteri-
cal condition, was not left by the bur-
glar. A thorough investigation has con-
WINGED the police that the note could
not have been overlooked had it been
in the desk since Monday night.
Although not now confined to her
bed, the condition of Miss Lyman is
serious, and her family is guarding
against another shock. She has borne
up wonderfully well under the severe
strain, but it is feared another fright
would cause her to collapse. There
were d great IHdHy NlSlloTS at the
Lyman home during the day and SYM
pathy was expressed for the members
of the family.
Every effort is being made by the
police to secure sufficient evidence TO
warrant the making of charges. While
the officers. it is believed, are confident
they are on the right track and have
satisfied themselves as to the guilt or
innocence of the suspects, they are not
yet in position to make formal
charges. The neighborhood is still eX-
ercised about the case, exclusive men
ton of which has been made in the
Morning News.

SUBWAY WORK IS NOT
UP TO THE STANDARD
Is the Opinion of some Of the city

The work on the Gwinnett street
subway which has so far been done
is not satisfactory TO some Of the
city officials who have made an inspec-
ton, and will probably have to be
changed before it is accepted by the
city.
The work as yet has not been pre-
sented TO the city for acceptance or
rejection. and the city officials have
done nothing except TO put the con-
tractors on notice that the work must
be improved. The defects can be
remedied, II Is said, and probably will
be.
II is not thought any immediate &C.
ton will be taken by the city officials.

HARD CASE TO UNTANGLE.
Assault and Battery Cross Bill in the
City Court.


When the case of the state, against
Henrietta Thorn and Mary Brown.
was called yesterday in the City Court.
a woman of about 40 years and a girl
of Is stepped forward.
Each was charged with assault and
battery. As the evidence came out it
appeared there had been a woeful mix
up, and the court was unable to untan-
gle the trouble. 1t ended by a post
ponement of the case until next Fri
day, when an additional witness will
be produced, who may succeed in I'M
rAveling the difficulty
Mary had Henrietta arrested on a
charge of assault and battery, claim
ing Henrietta had assaulted and bat
tered the 15-year-old girl of the prose-
cutor. Henrietta didn't deny this, but
claimed the girl had acted so outra-
geously toward her. she felt called
upon to do something strenuous to
counteract the offense.
In the meantime Mary decided to
personally avenge the beating that had
been given her daughter, and started
out after Henrietta. Henrietta took
to her. heels. but this didn't phase
Mary. She kept on going until she
reached Henrietta's home, and there
she caught the girl in her own parlor
and administered corporal punishment
In =. lifting manner. Thereupon, the
mother of Henrietta had Mary ar
rested on an assault and battery
cha-~e.
Both sides were heard. Judge Nor
wood then offered in evidence a letter
from the principal of the school, that
the children attended. but Henrietta's
attorney declined to allow it to be en-
tered as evidence. The court then let
the case hang over until next Friday,
when the principal will appear in per-
son and tell what he knows of the
fight. Unless his evidence sheds con-
siderable light on the matter things
will undoubtedly remain in statu quo,
and the belligerents allowed to fight
it out without Intervention on the part
of the court.

Wife Thinks Suicide.

80 years of age, five feet six or seven
inches high and wearing shoes about

Clark disappeared from here several
days ago. Two checks made payable
to him, with the name of Lieut.. Wins
low forged, had been cashed by local
merchants. Lieut.. Winslow as soon

That the body of an unknown man
found in the Ogeechee river near the
Atlantic Coast Line crossing at Ways
is that of D. c. Clark. the man charg-
ed with forging the name of Lieut..
Winslow, stationed at Fort Screven, is
confidently believed by Mrs. Clark, wife
of the missing man.
News of the finding of the body
reached the city yesterday morning
and the description furnished fits
Clark. William Easterlin, friend of
the family, went to Bryan county dur
ing the morning to view the remains,
but the body had already been buried.
Mrs. Clark, accompanied by Mr.. Eas-
terlin and Undertaken Goette, will
leave this morning to exhume the body
to see if it is really Clark, as is thought.
Body Found Thursday.
The body was found Thursday by
hunter, but the news did not reach
Savannah until yesterday morning,
when parties who had been at the in
quest reached the city.
There was a card found in the pocket
of the dead man marked, IL. c. La
vigne, LOG Washington street, Column
bia, S. c." but inquiry in Columbia
revealed the fact that there was no
LaVigne missing from that city, al
though several persons by that name
reside there.
The head had been crushed as though
by a hard blow Whether the man had
been killed and thrown into the river,
or struck by a passing train, the cor
oner's jury was unable to decide.
These theories were the only ones con-
sidered by the jury.

Charger That Life Preserver Bills
Were Altered.
NEW YORK, June 21.--Altered bills
for life preservers, on which the name
''Grand Republic" had been changed to
General Slocun,' formed the first
sensation at the opening of the Slocum
inquest. Coroner Joseph I. Berry pre-
sided at the inquiry into the cause Of
the disaster to the excursion on last
Wednesday which nearly wiped out
st. Marks Evangelical Lutheran con-
gregation in Sixth street
President Frank A. Barnaby was on
the stand when Assistant District At
torney Garvan produced the bills and
charged that acid had been used to
alter the bills SO as to make it appear
that the life preservers had been pur-
chased for the General Slocum. Mr..
Barnaby said the bills must have been
changed by the bookkeeper, whose
name he did not know.
Secretary Atkinson of the company
denied knowledge Of the alteration Of
the bills and furnished the name Of
the bookkeeper, Miss Hall, for whom
the coroner issued subpoena.
Under the guidance of an unlicensed
first mate with very hazy notion Of
his duties members of the crew admit
ted hesitatingly that they had proved
almost useless in the disaster. They
insisted that there had not been fire
drill on the boat this season and agreed
that they had been unable to use the
hose after the flames were discovered.
Some of the men said the hose had
burst when the water got to the kinks,
but an explanation which was made
for the first time in public was that no
water at all could reach the fire hose
on account of false washer Of solid
rubber or leather placed in the stand
pipe that supplied it.
There were ninety eight bodies recov-
cred yesterday, making the total 1906
