In The Police Court.

"A case of unusual interest came up
In the Police Court Thursday when
Tom McCollum. colored. was tried for
selling whiskey.
McCollum has been under suspic-
Ion for some time and was at last
caught up with Wednesday afternoon
when he sold some whiskey to a white
gentleman at the depot. He was
at once nabbed by Policeman Owens
and placed In the guard house for safe
Keeping.
That morning on trial he put the
same old plea that he had simply
bought the whiskey for an accommo-
dation to his white friend and had
made no profit on It. He stated
that he had made, the purchase from
-ro woman. Susanna Bossard.
who conducts a restaurant just across
from the station. The Bossard wo-
man was brought up to testify and
she and several witness es all testified,
IN NaFlous taieS, that Tom had come
to her house and asked for her son.
but finding him absent. had gone on
his way.
Susanna then asked that the case
be continued until tomorrow when
she should have time to secure an at
torney and be ready for trial. The
case against McCoIlum was also con-
tinued so that the two cases could
come at the same time.
Other cases heard were:
j. A. Galloway. for drunkenness.
cursing. and carrying concealed wea-
pons. was fined SIS or 80 days. The
case Tor carrying concealed wea-
pons was dismissed

DEPUTY GETS IN TROUBLE.
Experience of Sumter Officer Seeking
Fugitive i'm Savannah.

savannah, June 12.-Himself un-
der arrest for drunkenness and disor-
derly conduct, after having come to
Savannah for the purpose Of getting
a prisoner wanted in Sumter County,
). G., on the charge of violating the
prohibition law, Deputy Sheriff j. S.
Sykes will. in all probability, have to
return home without his man. While
Sykes was getting himself untangled
from the affair in which he had be-
come involved, the prisoner, Gus
Cooper, colored, secured the services
OF an attorney, and has now demand
ed requisition papers before he will
return to South Carolina. The charge
against Sykes was dismissed by Re-
corder Schwartz this morning.
The trouble between Sykes and the
police resulted in the arrest of Har-
ry Waters, colored, whom Sykes al
legged had touched" him for his re-
volver and money while he was "cele
brating." Waters established the fact
that he had been given the revolver
by Sykes and that Sykes had never
given him the money. Waters was
also dismissed. The police depart
ment has taken the matter up with
the South Carolina authorize.
Sykes claimed that Water repre-
sented himself to be a city detective
and secured possession Of his prop
erty under this subterfuge. Sykes is
known to have had quite a large sum
Of money when he arrived in Savan-
nah, but he was practically "broke"
when arrested. 1t is said at the place
where he had been staying that he
had been spending money freely.
When Sykes first came to Savannah
he announced his intention Of re-
turning to Charleston Immediately.
The fact that he did not return for
his man was practically unnoticed at
headquarters until Sykes appeared
and told story of having been
touched" while carousing at a re-
sort.
An investigation was Immediately
instituted, with the result that Waters
was arrested.
