MCGraw Will Depend
On His Snap Judgment
BY John j. McGraw.
Manager Of the Giants.

NEVER make predictions on the
outcome of a battle of this
sort. but we will go into the
Worlds Series with our full
strength. unless something unfore-
seen occurs, and we will be pre-
pared to give a good account of
ourselves.
We have an excellent chance to
win. Any team that can win a
pennant in a major league and also
take two Worlds Championships
is necessarily strong.
My campaign will adapt itself
to circumstances. have not seen
the Athletics play this year and
prefer to take snap Judgment
on them in the emergencies of
battle.
All my pitchers are in good
shape and the balance OF the club
is all that could be desired in point
of physical fitness.
il should be a great series, but
baseball is something that can not
be forecast. The element of un-
certainty is always great. be-
lieVe that my boys will make a
good showing from start to finish.
but would not care to offer q
prophecy on the final result. /
can only say that we hope for the
/, best.

THE COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Il. BRINE CAUGHMAN CASE CON.
TiNULD UNTIL NEXT TERM
OF COURT.
Several Bicycle Thieves Sentenced to
Gang--Largc Number of True Bills
Returned by Grand Jury-Motion
To Quash Jury Indictment Refused.

"A trap which has long been set was
sprung i'm the General Sessions Court
Monday afternoon, when n motion
was made by .he attorneys for II.
Birnie Caughman to quash the indict-
ment OF murder, returned against T.
II. Caughman, on the grounds that a
number of the grand jurors had reg
istration certificates which were not
legally issued. The trap failed to
catch its intended victim, however, al
though on the rebound, so to speak,
Ii accomplished the desired end.
Judge Gage refused to quash the in
dictment by the grand jury, but he
granted q continuance of the case un-
til the next term of court.
The motion to quash the indict-
ment which had been returned by
the grand jury was made on the
ground that Il. ID. DuBose, one of the
members of the board of supervisors
of registration, was resident of Lee
County and that he had lived i'm that
county since II was cut off from Sum
ter County, that he was therefore il
legally on the board of supervisors of
registration and that as his name was
signed TO many of the registration
certificates. the persons holding such
certificates as had his name on them
were not legally registered. 1t was
also alleged in the motion that c. f..
Stubbs, who was appointed on the
board of supervisors of registration
last year by Governor Blease, was not
legally u member of the board at the
present time, as his appointment had
not been affirmed by the senate at
its last secession and tbrefore, since
that time. he had no authority to act
on the board. 1t was ALLEGED that
there was only one legal member of
the board at this time. Anidavits
were produced by the attorneys for
the defense supporting their con-
tention in both instances. In reply
Mendel L.. Smith, assisting the soli-
citor In the prosecution of the case.
stated that it was through no fault
of their own that the members of
the grand jury had not been legally
registered and therefore they could
not be held responsible.
Judge Gage i'm making his refusal
tn grant the motion stated that it
was not practical, as, if the grand
jury's indictment was quashed i'm this

case. 1t was practically qaushed~-ia
every other case at this term of court
and he was not willing for that. He
stated that without reference to the
law he would refuse the motion.
The prisoner was then arraigned
and plead not guilty to the charge
of murder.
Mr.. Clifton then made a motion for
continuance of the case on the
ground that it was a new case. that
feeling was high, and that the ends of
justice would be preserved if the case
was continued. Judge Gage after
consultation with the Solicitor. who
urged that the case be brought ia
trial, stated that he would continue
the case and endeavOr to try and
clear the docket of all other cases.
William Johnson was tried for
larceny of a bicycle and found guilty.
He was sentenced to thirty months
at hard labor on the county gang.
Tom Jones was arraigned and
plead not guilty to the charge o1
carnal knowledge of woman child
He plead not guilty. A. S. Merrimon
Esq, was appointed by the court to
represent him and his case was set
for Friday.

charge of larceny of a bicycle and
was sentenced to term of two wears
on the gang.

JOE HOGAN CASE REVERSED.
WITNESSES FAIn To, SIGN TESTI-
MONY ~ REAON OF RE-
VERSAI.
Judg Gage Grants Motion for New
Trial IN Hogan Case ON Technical
Ground-Expresses Hope That City
VIII Take Case to Higher Court.

Judge Gage Tuesday morning
granted a new trial to Joe Hogan on
the thirty-six counts for selling and
storing liquor. with which he was
charged by tho city.
In rendering his decision Judge
Gage stated that ne disliked To grant
n new trial on technical grounds, but
that he did not see any other course
To pursue irf this case. He expressed
a hope that the city would take the
case TO the State Supreme Court in
order that the point on which the re-
versal was made should he finally de-
cided by that body. Judge Gage stat
ed that his reason for granting the
new trial was because the witnesses
had not signed the testimony when
II was given and taken down by the
Recorder.
The motion for a. new trial in this
now celebrated case was made Mon
day afternoon by H.. ID. Noise, Esq,
attorney for Hogan, and was contin-
ued Tuesday morning when court met
for the day Mr.. Noise had several
grounds for making his motion for a
new trial. Because the testimony had
not been signed by witnesses at the
time ID was taken down by the re-
corder: because there was no city
ordinance making II unlawful to sell
whiskey save for an unlawful pur-
pose: and various other grounds.
J. VI. clifton. attorney for the city.
answered the arguments OF the de-
fendant. arguing that the city ordi-
nance was legal and that the State
Supreme Court had held that the
mere fact that testimony was not
signed was not sufficient grounds for
ordering new trial. Judge Gage
listened to- each side attentively.
when ne rendered his decision.
Save for the single ground of fail
ure TO affix signature OF witnesses to
their testimony. he dismissed all of
tss ether grounds for a new trial.

being heard when court adjourned for
dinner. Jones is charged with having
raped a small negro girl several
months ago, the occurrence taking
place in the Zoar neighborhood. In
court Thursday morning the girl told
of the occurrence and her parents
told what they knew of the case. The
State had rested it's case when a re-
cess was taken. Mr.. A. S. Merrimon
was appointed by the court to defend

mortgaged the SAME cow, although
the defense stated that he had not
mortgaged the cow the second time.
A motion was made by the defense to
