SHERIFF MUST DECIDE
WHO OWNS DISPUTED LOT.
Judge Norwood Decided Difficulty
Over Sale One in Equity.

Judge Norwood Decided Dih1culty
Over Sale One I'm Equity.
In the City Court yesterday Judge
Norwood handed down his decision in
the case arising over the possession
Of the property of Mrs. Isabella Faw-
cett, claimed by Moore & Co., and by
DR.. NJ. x. Corbin. While the court
does not decide in favor of either par
ty, Moore & Co. are plainly favored.
Sheriff Horrigan stated that he will
at once give a deed to Moore & Co.,
and it will rest with DR.. Corbin
whether he will pursue the matter in
the courts further, which seems proba-
bic. The case will go into the Supe-
rior Court on bill In equity, the City
Court determining that 1t has no pow
er to make the sheriff sign a deed, and
leaving the matter with him.
This is stated after the evidence In
the case has been reviewed at length
Judge Norwood states that the case Is
altogether unique, but holds that the
sheriff did right in putting the prop
erty up a second time for sale. In
closing the case is summed up as fol-
lows
"As have said. the question is one
Of law only. 1t involves title to land.
If DR.. Corbin be the legal purchaser,
he Is entitled to the lot. II Moore ss
Co. be the legal purchasers, they are
entitled to the lot. Now, in order to
control the action of the sheriff, and
to order him to deed the property to
one or the other bidders, this court
must necessarily determine the legal
question-to whom does the lot belong
under the sale?
But this court has no jurisdiction over
questions involving titles to land. The
opinion or decision of this court DIS to
the legal purchaser under this sale,
and the order of this court requiring
the sheriff to make deed TO such
purchaser, would be action ultra wires,
and could not, in the slightest degree,
affect the rights of the two parties,
nor be the slightest protection to the
sheriff. The question Of the title and
the right to possession would still be
open, and the party not getting the
deed could pursue his remedy against
the other party and the sheriff by a
bill in equity.

Congregational Committee to Be
Named This Week.
A Republican congressional candi-
date will probably be named this week
by the Republican Congressional Dis
trict Executive Committee, which will
be announced IN a few days by Col.
J. H. Deveaux, chairman. 1t seems
that no candidate has as vet been set
tied on, but the general opinion seems
to prevail among the Savannah Re-
publicans that the nomination will go
to S. Schwartzweiss, a merchant Of
Burke county.
The Republicans admit that they do
not hope to carry the First district,
and say the nomination will be made
because President Roosevelt announced
that he wanted the Republicans in the
South TO nominate candidates for Con-
gress in every district. and make de-
termined effort to build up the organ
ization.

At meetings of both bodies of the
city council last evening every item
cut from the budget at the Sunday
caucus was restored to the figures re-
ported by the conference committee,
and the $4,000 allowed for the COM
pletion of the armory retained.
This makes the budget complete at
So, ,953, ,2OS, increased from $2,s26,20 as
recommended by the conference COM
mittee
The increase is represented entirely
by the amount for the benefit of the
armory, all other items having been
restored as they were previous to the
Sunday caucus, at which $110,40 was
cut from the budget and the. $4,000
for the armory added.
On the final vote on the adoption OF
the budget Assemblymen Keller and
O'Brien cast the negative votes, both
explaining that while they favored the
allowance for the armory there were
other items to which they objected.
They did not specify. With Assembly
man Powers absent, this left the vote
in the assembly to 2, and with the
absent members counting in the mega

REPUBLICANS SET
OUT TO DOWN DEPEN
In a Conference a Majority of
OdeII's Lieutenants Pronounce
Against Senator
- -


NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Gov. Odell
and many of his lieutenants held long
conference today at the Republican
club to discuss the senatorship and
other matters of Importance to the Re-
publican organization. Both Senator
Depew and ex-Gov. Black, the two
candidates for the senatorship, were
represented. Senator Depew tonight
said his candidacy for the senatorship
was in the hands of his friends and he
would not withdraw from the canvass
because of any action the conference
might have taken. No statement was
secured from ex-Gov. Black.
Twenty-six leaders were in the con-
ference, according to the Herald. They
were asked by the governor to say
whether they desired the reelection of
Senator Depew or the election of Mr..
Black. Seventeen of them declared for
Black, seven for Depew, and two of
them, Gov Odell and Speaker Nixon,
indicated no preference.
One of the dramatic scenes of the
conference was caused by Cornelius N.
Bliss, who is warm supporter of
Senator Depew. Mr.. Bliss told the gov
ernor and his friends that if they de-
cided to elect Mr.. Black in place of
Senator Depew it would be regarded as
a breach of faith. At the close of the
discussion, Gov Odell said the senti-
ment as represented by the leaders
seemed to be overwhelmingly for Mr..

SCANDAL COMES OUT
Why French Deputy SWeton
Committed Suicide

PARIS. Dec. 15.-The circumstances
attending the death of Deputy Gabriel
Syveton, who was found dead from as
phyxiation in his apartments at Neuil-
ly Dec. 8. are developing into do
mestic drama of. startling magnitude
Many sensational features have come
to light.
It is established that the wife of NJ.
Syveton was about to apply for a di-
vorce on the ground of improper re-
lations between NJ. Syveton and Nine.
Menard, daughter of Nine. Syveton
by former husband. Both M. Menard
and Nine. Syveton had accused the
deputy of these relations and a fam
lily council took place shortly before
NJ Syveton's death, at which violent
scenes We're enacted, N. Menard de-
claring that it was the duty of the
deputy to put a bullet through his
head, and Nine. SyvetOn announcing
her purpose to sue for a divorce. This
was the eve of N. Syveton's trial for
assaulting War Minister Andre in the
chamber of deputies Nov. 4.
The deputy foresaw the public dis
closure of his relations with his wife's
daughter and thereupon committed
suicide for the purpose of averting the
disclosure. The foregoing is inter-
woven with many scandalous details
which the police and house are follow
ing with absorbing interest. The case
has taken on a political aspect, the
Nationalists associated with M. Syve-
ton asserting that there were threats
of disclosures which amounted to a
cOY1SOiT-a(V on the mart of the govern
ment's supporters to compel the depu-
ty to take his own life. This charge
does not appear to be supported, as the
tragedy was clearly the result of a
scandalous domestic drama.
It has developed that NJ. Syveton had
been receiving a salary of $4,000 as
secretary for Count Boni de Castel-
lane.
