JUDGE CANN WILL HEAR
CASES FOR FIRST TIME.

The remitturs in two important
cases were received yesterday in the
Superior Court, and, the Supreme Court
having reversed the decision of the
lower court, both will be tried. They
will be heard by Judge Cam for the
first time.
One of these cases is that in which
NJ. 7. Salas sought to recover from E.
E. Davis for an alleged violation in
regard to the rental of certain prop
erty. The case attracted considerable
attention when it was tried because
of the interest displayed by the parties
litigant, and the stubbornness with
which it was fought.
The other case is that of Prince and
others, heirs of H. r. Jackson. against
the executor of the estate, in which
they sought to establish their claims
as heirs at law. This case was hard
fought in the lower court, and in the
court of last resort, where dissenting
opinion was rendered by Justices Sim
mons and Gambler, and Judge Cobb
was disqualified, by reason of his re-
lationship to parties to the proceed
ings.

PEN KNIFE CUTS
MAY END FATALLY
S. C. NASH CUT J. T. NICHOLS.
IN FIGHT WHICH TOOK PLACE IN
INSURANCE OFFICE.

Nash WAS Arrested shortly After
the ARRAY and is Held at Police
station without Bond, Until it
Can BE Learned If Nichols Win
RecOver-Says He is Sorry for
the Affair, But Was Justified in
Doing as He Did-NichOIs at Sa-
vannah Hospital in IL Very Serious
Condition.
In a fight in the office of the Indus
trial Life and Health Insurance Com
pany in the Odd Fellows building, S.
G. Nash, one of the solicitors of the
company, seriously and perhaps fatal
Nv cut ]. T. Nichols, an assistant SUI
perinteindent yesterday. The fight
was the outcome of quarrel
because of criticism made by Nichols
of Nashs work. The knife used by
Nash was an ordinary penknife, small
er than the average.
There were twelve or fifteen men in
the office at the time of the difficulty,
it being the hour that the solicitors
were preparing to go out to work,
about O'Clock. Nichols went to Nash
and spoke to him about his work.
There was a controversy and the diff
Guilty followed, though there is a diff
ference in the statements made by
Nash and Nichols as to which start
ed =.
Different Statements Made.
Nash says one of the men had walk
ed between them and that everything
had quoted down, when Nichols sud-
denly struck him. He says he had
turned away to go out to work, and
did not know Nichols was going to hit
him until the blow was delivered. He
says Nichols is big man, and he de-
Tended himself with his knife, which
he had in his hand sharpening a PEN
ell.
Il acted in self-defense," said Nash.
in speaking of the affair afterwards.
Il am sorry it happened, but l think
/ was justified in defending myself"
Didn't Try to Escape.
Nash was arrested bv Patrolman
Remley about an hour after the cut
ting. He was found at the Office of
the company, having made no effort at
all to escape. He is still confined at
police station, and he will not be al
lowed to give bond until it is learned
whether Nichols will recover or not
TWiggs to defend him.
After the cutting Nichols made the
statement that Nash attacked him
first. He said Nash asked him if he
had told a party that he had not been
doing his work properly. and that he
replied he had not. He said Mash then
called him "a d-n liar and made at
him with the knife.
Extent of Injuries.
DR.. George M. Norton was summon
ed Immediately after the cutting. 1t
was found that Nichols was in a very
serious condition. He was cut in sew
eral places on the left side of the face
and body. The cut on the body pene-
trated the lung, causing an internal
hemorrhage. Several arteries in the
face were cut and these bled profusely.
AS soon as DR. Norton made an ex-
animation he had the police ambulance
summoned and Nichols was carried to
the Savannah Hospital. Gauze packing
was used there to stop the internal
hemorrhage.
At an early hour this morning Mr..
Nichols was resting comfortably, and
Dr.. Norton said he had hopes of his
recovery. He was still in a very Sc
rious condition, and the outcome could
rot be definitely stated, but his con-
ditiOn was encouraging.
