TO PAY PENALTY FOR
TRIPLE MURDER

Savannah, Ga. June 22-Unless saw
ed by legal formalities, j. G. Hunter
will die on the gallows in the Chath-
am county Jail tomorrow for the MUIR
der of his wife, Mrs. Maggie Hunter,
and aged Mrs. Eliza Gribble and her
daughter, Mrs. Carrie Ohlander.
The murders were committed in the
Hunter home in the heart of the city
last December and were among the
most brutal in the criminal, annals Of
Savannah. 1t was at first suspected
that the crimes had been committed
by negro and for time there were
fears of bloody race riot. Within
a few hours after the discovery of the
triple murder the police raided the
negro districts of the city and more
than $50 negroes were taken into GUS
tody on suspicion. Withina few days,
however, the charge was fastened up
on Hunter, the husband of one of the
victims Evidence was brought to
light that he had quarreled with his
wife and had separated from her on
account of her alleged unfaithfulness
This, 1t is believed, furnished the mo-
tive for the crimes.
On the afternoon of December 10
the attention of a passing patrolman
was attracted to the house by hearing
means from within. A ghastly spec
tacle met the officers eyes when he
forced an entrance to the house.
Sprawled hideously about the hall and
rooms of their home, Mrs. Eliza Crib
BILE, aged 20 years, and her daughter,
Mrs. Ohlander, were found dead, while
nearby lay Mrs. Hunter, dying, with
her skull beaten in, A bloody ak on
the floor showed how the woman had
come to their deaths.
\ The murders were most brutal Mrs.
Gribble was killed as she sat in her
easy chair reading. Her gray hair
was blood-clotted where the AK crush
ed her skull. Beside her body on the
floor were her newspaper and her
spectacles. One blow, or two at the
most sulliced to end her life. Mrs.
Chandler had been killed evidently
while she was attempting to defend
her mother, and Mrs. Hunter, whose
body was found near the door, had
probably been struck down as she at
tempted to escape from the house

Slow Joe Doyle, il is understood, will

bit Robinson. at Louisville. Thus de-
parts from the big leagues a man who
drew about as much money, for about as
little work. as any one who ever donfed
uniform Doyle was willing enough
to pitch-at least he always said so-but
somehow when the time cames he wasn't
there. He had a lame arm or a bad
wrist, or raspberry had got caught in
his back teeth-anyway, Joe didn't pitch
Clarke Griffith carried him a long, long
time in New York, and he hung on for

still had something. Griff acquired him
few weeks ago, but he showed no class
i'm the few starts he made with the Gin
cinnati Reds.
Joe is famous as having an exasperat-
ing slowness of delivery that was worse
than Cuppys delaying policy. He was
also a really high-grade pitcher when he
did work, and the added totals of his few
games in the fast company would show
just about twice as many victories as de-
feats. In short, Mr.. Doyle had the stuff
but was worked so seldom that he grew
rusty, and finally, like Jim Jeffries, found
that his skill had slipped away.

chairman of the board of control of the
National Cycling Association, announced

been competing in amateur races have
been transferred to the ranks of cash
prize cyclists. twenty-five of the lot
have been racing at the Vailsburg track
in Newark, eight have raced in and near
Boston and six have been riding at Salt
Lake City.
One of the riders transferred is Chris
Scheller of San Francisco who was the
leader at Vailsburg in the table for the
amateur championship with eleven points.
William Vanden Dries, who was a MEM
Der of the New York Athletic Club S
team, is another victim of the transfer.
The rest of the Vaisburg riders trans
ferred were as follows:

Morton. Courtney Peer and John j. Bren-
nan, all of Newark, and members of the
National Turn Verein Wheelmen: Philip

had accepted cash prizes instead of jewel
ry or merchandise.
The board voted to annu the races for
the one-quarter, one-half and one-mile
amateur championship that have been
run at the Vailsburg track, and ordered
these races run over again. In future
all entrants in amateur championship
csents must satisfy the board of their
bona fide amateur standing before they
will be allowed to compete.

NEW YORK. July 13.-"If Sam Lang

Johnson into the ring with Jeffries.''
Thus spoke Billy Gibson, one of the
master matchmakers in the country
and the moving spirit in the Fairmont

the relative boxing ability of Johnson
and Langford with some friends at the

expressed his views of the merits of the
two pugilists.
