TWO ACQUITTALS ON
BURGLARY CHARGES,
CoIOred Defendants Escaped I'm su-
periOr Court.

CoIored Defendants Escaped in SUI
periOr Court.
In the Superior Court yesterday John
Henry Harrison, colored, and Jim Har-
mon, colored, were tried on burglary
charges and acquitted. In each case
the jury was out but a comparatively
short time.
Harrison was accused of entering the
house of Carrie Hatfield with the in
tent to commit larceny. The evidence
against him was not sufficient to con-
Wet, in the minds of the jury, and
a verdict of not guilty was return
ed.
The case against Jim Harmon, devel-
oped some interesting points. Harmon
was accused of having entered the
house of Mary Smith and taken there
from sheets, pillow-cases, and other
materials of a like nature. The prin-
cpal evidence against him was that
of Mary Smith herself and friend
who lived with her. They both stat
ed that they had seen Harmon en-
ter the house, remain in there for at
least half an hour, and then come
out. Neither could say that he had
anything with him when he left the
house.
For the defense the proprietor of
the Brunswick Bar, Thomas Ferrebee,
was called He testified to the fact
that on the night in question Harmon
had gone to his place at 8 o'clock, and
had remained there until after -
o'clock. He was playing the piano for
a colored dance, the regular piano
player being sick.
Harmon stated that the morning after
he had played for the dance that the
Smith woman had come to his house
to borrow some money, with which
she desired to employ counsel to de-
fend her in a case pending in the City
Court. He had promised to get her
some money the next day, and had
done so. 1t was for the purpose of
taking this money to her that he had
entered the house, and not with the
intent to steal.
"Why, gentlemen of the jury" he
said, Use got furnished room and
1 don't need such things. 1 hopes
yOul bring in a verdict in accordance
with the truth" The jury was out
but a few minutes when the verdict
of acquittal was rendered.

Game with the Alabama Team Re
suited 4 TO o.
Macon. Ga, April 11.-Fifteen hun
dred lovers of the great American
game saw the Mercerians go down I'M
der the brilliant work Of the boys from
Alabama this afternoon. The Bap-
lists had no trouble in getting the
stick right up against Weem's deliv-
cry, but every time a connection was
made an Alabama fielder was near the
landing place, and what, under ordi-
nary conditions would have been
hit, gave a visitor an opportunity to
exhibit some excellent fielding, and at
the same time cut down what under
other conditions, would have been
great stick work.
Maynard's pitching cannot be meas
ured by the score, as the drives the
Alabamanians made were what might
be called lucky. The balls went right
where there was no fielder and they
went just at the time when there was
no chance for the feetest-footed men,
Der of the team to get under or near
them.
From start to finish is was game
fun Of life and was replete with the
most intense interest.
Score-Mercer, 0; hits, 2; errors, 5;
Auburn, 4; hits, 8; errors, 2.
Batteries-Maynard and StoVall;

Young Jewett Was Fined.

The parents of Richard Jewett, the
boy who was charged by a negro man
with having tried to shoot him, were
greatly mortified that their son should
have been compelled to appear in Po-
lice Court. The account of the affair,
as they received it, left them no doubt
of their sons innocence of any such
purpose as that charged. He had a
pistol, but they learned that 1t had
but that moment been handed him
by a young companion, who, 1t is
charged, was the one really involved
in the trouble with the man. The

Capetown is much faster on his feet
than when last seen here, and seems
to have more steam behind his
punches. He has discarded the stoop-
ing posture he formerly assumed while
fighting. He has thoroughly recov-
cred from the effects of his hard bat
tie with Tubby Dixon at st. Augustine,
and says he will make the pace so fast
tomorrow night that he will carry
Blood off his feet in the first round.
OF course, no one can make Blood
believe this. and the local champion
says he will assist in the pacemaking
himself, and the visiting ring gen.
eral many not find matters altogether
to his liking.
The indications are that the house
will be the largest that has attended
fight in Savannah in years, and all
ready large number of reservations
have been made.

PUGILISTS ARE CONFIDENT ON
EVE OF THEIR BATTLl
Last Hard Work Will Be Done To-day, With
LIGHT Exercise Tomorrow

Blood and Capetown Joe went to
work with renewed vigor yesterday,
after their rest on Sunday, when
neither engaged in any work, save long
walks on the road.
Both men realize the desperate bat
tie that is before them, and are leav-
ing nothing undone that will tend to
put them in the very pink Of condi-
ton.
Blood puts in his mornings with his
sparring partner at the club rooms,
and in the afternoon runs from ten
to fifteen miles on the road. He
went eight miles yesterday without
firing in the least, and put in thirty
minutes hard work with his sparring
partner when he came back.

Anderson was shot and instantly killed
yesterday at Bethel Church, in this
county, by Walter Bunkley. They fell

due Bunkley for whisky. Each fired
three shots at the other. One ball

is now in Jail at this place.
This is the sixth killing of this kind
