death
Testimony at Inquest.
Coroner Screitt yesterday gave a
glimpse of some of the secret proceed
ings of the jury that Investigated the
case. Taken together the testimony of
several of the witnesses formed a
strong circumstantial chain against
Pulford.
j. A Robinson has an Office in the
rear of the Pulford building. About
800 he heard an unusual noise in the
new opera house overhead. The noise
| resembled thud. According to Rob
inson's testimony. Pulford came into
the store about thirty minutes late. He
wore no hat. and his clothes were dark
PuIfOrd's Clothing Dark.
Pulford the day of the murder wore
dark clothes. He was about five feet
nine inches and his hair may be said
TO be dark. If the Druggist Pulford
was favored by combination of cir
cumstances at the time of the murder
and for 90 seconds thereafter which
is little short of marvellous.
If he was the murderer he must also
be the most surprised man in Savanna
at the turn events have taken. The
chances of his going from his store
to the scene of the murder. perpetTat-
ing the deed. and escaping without
being detected were about as ! to so.
He had 10 enter a public hallway,
await his victim. fire shots that were
heard for a block, and make his escape
exposed TO the chance of being seen
either in an alley as he leaped from
window 10 feet above the ground,
or of being seen through the windows
of dry goods store as he descended
flight of stairs that ended % feet
from the rear door of his store.
DiEregarded Consequences.
One minute was sufficient time for
him TO run from the scene of the crime
in the rear door of his store. That
short interval was in his favor. But,
nevertheless. he took long chances. If
Pulford was the assassin the most
reasonable hypothesis is that he had
determined TO commit the crime re-
CARELESS of consequences.
The funeral of'Daniel s. Berry took
place today. and the remains will be

nounced that he will make things
simply howl when he gets closer

Still another sought pleasure in
such degrading forms that he was

would do the most good and fled

the Parisions by his profligacy,
which is a good deal like the devil
