TO PENITENTIARY
LINDSEY WOMAN GOES.
Severely Lectured by Judge Cam in
Sunerfnr

Severely Lectured by Judge Cam in
Superior Court.
jamie Lindsey, the negro woman who
robbed the home of Mr.. ]. B. Chestnut
pleaded guilty in the Superior Court
yesterday to larceny from the house
and was sentenced by Judge Cam to
five years at hard labor in the peniten-
tiary. The articles which the woman
was alleged to have stolen were seven
diamond rings, valued at s1,525, two
diamond brooches valued at $475, and $37
IN money. She denied having attempt
ed to steal the diamonds.
In imposing sentence Judge Cam
severely lectured the prisoner. The
court laid stress on the fact that be-
cause she had been the trusted servant
of the family she robbed, and had been
given practically full charge of the
home during their absence, her crime
was all the more diabolical and all the
more deserving of heavy punishment
He then imposed the sentence given
above.
The story of the robbery and the re-
markable attempt of the woman to
give out the idea that she had been
bound and gagged by an unknown man,
was given in detail in the Morning
News, together with her efforts to es-
cape from custody. Attorney John Z.
Schwarz, who looked after the interests
OF the woman, could not go to trial with
the case in view of the full confession
the woman had made to the police.

S. P. C. A. ELECTION
POSTPONED A WEEK.
Will Take Place Next Monday After

Will Take Place Next Monday After
noon at Guards Hall.
No election of an agent was held at
the meeting of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals yes
terday afternoon.
As the success of the society will de-
pend very largely upon the agent Sc
lected for the active work, the mem
bers felt they had better go slow in
making a choice.
For this reason the election was
postponed until next Monday after
noon, when another meeting will be
held at 3:45 o'clock in the room of
Company B. at the Guards Hail. Miss
Margaret Cosens. the president of the
society, urges all of the members to
attend, as it will probably be the
most important meeting to be held in
several months.
There are several candidates for the
Office and the election will probably be
one of interest. IT has also been decid-
ed to Immediately petition the City
Council for an appropriation for the
coming year. The city will be asked
to give at least $780, probably more,
to aid in the support of the society.
Great interest is displayed in the So
ciety by the members and it is desir-
ed to Immediately begin active work.
Miss Florence Colding has been chos-
en- one of the vice presidents of the
society.

FOX SQUIRRELS SEEM TO
DISAPPROVE OF UNIFORMS.
Sprang on Two Officers in Park and
Tried to Bite Them.

Tried to Bite Them.
While such earnest effort is being
made to firmly establish society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
there are at least two members of the
police force who believe there is some
necessity for the establishment of a
society to prevent animals attacking
individuals.
Sunday morning Mounted Sergeant
J. A. Woods was passing through For
syth Park, when a large fox squirrel
sprang on him from the trunk of a
nearby tree. and made an effort 20
bite him. The officer was greatly sur
prised and at first thought the animal
was Wild. Several times the little an
imal buried it's teeth into the sergeant's
clothing before it was finally shaken
off and forced to retreat.
Nothing more was thought of the
matter until Patrolman Davis was
submitted to a similar experience yes
terday morning. when a fox squirrel
sprang on him. and before he could
choke the little beast off he was pain
fully bitten on the hand. A report Of
the matter was made at police head
quarters, and Desk Sergeant McCool
suggested that muzzles be prepared for
the squirrels.

SHE PLEADED GUILTY;
DREW HEAVY SENTENCE

Ella Harris. colored, yesterday
pleaded guilty to larceny from the
home of Mr.. A. B. Way. The woman
had stolen several rings whose total
value was $40. She was the nurse
girl in the Way home and took advan-
tage OF the trust imposed in her to
steal the rings.
Judge Cam severely lectured the
woman for her crime and sentenced
her to serve two years at hard labor
in the penitentiary. Attorney George
G. Hayward, who had been appointed
TO defend the woman, advised her to
plead guilty, as the evidence against
her was so overwhelming as to make
a defense impossible

WILL PAVE AROUND
THE CITY FOUNTAINS.
Additional Fountains for Man and
Beast VIII be Purchased.

Additional Fountains for Man and
Beast VIII be Purchased.
A small area around each of the
fountains that are to be placed in the
various city squares will be paved to
prevent the persons using the foun-
tains from injuring the grass. Most of
the fountains are to be located at the
intersection of walks, so that only a
small pavement will be necessary.
Without some pavement, the spilling
of water would in all probability keen
the ground almost constantly wet and
muddy. When the fountains were de-
cided upon. the Water Committee to-
gether with Mayor Myers, decided it
would be best to have small pave
ment about each of them. These pave
ments will be laid Immediately after
the fountains are placed In position.
Besides the fountains already locat-
ed, and the ten that will arrive this
week, the city will purchase additional
fountains next year, so that Savan-
nah will be well supplied. Fountains
for horses as well as for people are
also to be bought.

NEGRO POLICY WRITER
FINED BY JUDGE CANN.
Man Who Got Paid Through Hole in
Wall Drew Fine of 500.

George Young, the negro policy writ
er caught in one of the raids ordered
by the last grand jury of the Superior
Court, yesterday pleaded guilty to the
charge against him on the advice of
his counsel, Attorney Edmund H
Abrahams. Judge Cam sentenced
him to pay a fine of 500 or serve
twelve months on the gang. The fine
has been arranged for.
Young is the negro who, when car
ried before the grand jury developed
some astonishing lapses of memory.
He claimed he didn't know who his
employer was, but that he was a white
man named Charlie. When asked who
paid him off he stated he didn't know
as he got his money through hole
in the wall and was never allowed
to see who was passing it out to him.
The plea of guilty kept the counsel
from the state from attempting to
draw out information as to who en-
ployed the negro.
