SAULT AND BATTERY.
Jury Had Not Agreed UP to a Late
Hour Last Might and a MistriaI is
.Expected-Negro Murderer OH Trial
for the Second Time.

Two very interesting cases occupied
the attention Of the Glynn superior
court yesterday. One of them, from
the present outlook, will result in a
mistrial, while the other, once before
tried, the jury falling to agree, will
not go to t2e jury before 10 or II

Fire Chief on Trial.
The first case called yesterday

ment, who was charged with assault
and battery The case against him
is the result Of a personal difficulty
between the chief and F. H. Harris,
which occurred in the city hall sew
eral weeks ago. 1t was charged that
the chief struck the attorney. The
matter was brought to the attention
of the grand jury and Mr.. Taylor was
indicted In the trial yesterday Chief
Taylor was represented by Judge Boil
ing Whitfield, while Solicitor Thomas
appeared for the state. The case was
given to the jury about II o'clock yes

reach a verdict up to late hour last
night, when they retired.
Murder Case On.
The case of the state VS.. Prince
Gale, colored, charged with murder

ued on it during the afternoon, but

fore going tc the jury. Gale is charged
with killing another negro at Fancy
Bluff. the murder having been commit
ted about a year ago. Self defense is
the plea put up by the negro and the
evidence has been very conflicting.
Gale had been previously tried, q

by Judge J. D. Sparks while Solicitor
Thomas is assisted in the prosecution
by J. T. Colson.
After this case is disposed CT this

John G.. O'Loughlin, Washington
correspondent of the New York Trib-
une, thinks that Nicholas Longworth
is one of the strongest possibilities for
speaker of the next house. What has
Mr.. Longworth done to entitle him to
such high honor? Until he married
into the Roosevelt family he was an
obscure congressman-a mere nonen-
tity who sat i2 his seat in the house
of representatives and passed most OF
his time twiddling his thumbs. Be-
cause Alice Roosevelt and her father
brought this man into prominence is
no reason why he should be chosen to
preside over the national house OF
representatives. The country wants
man for speaker who has distin.
guished himself-who has proven his
worth. In other words, man who
has done things. q: Avaunt, Nicholas
thy aspirations are inconsistent.
