BEHIND BEATEN
BASTILLE BARS
BOYLE BASKING
HOLUUP man is in LIMBO
viii be Tried at Term of
City Court

Behind the bars of Castle Sumter
Bad Man Boyle basked in the sunlight
yesterday and cursed the ill-luck that
put him in the clutches of the police,
when the night before, he is charged
with having successfully pulled off the
first "hold-up" game yet attempted in
Americas. Various robbing Stunts
have been pulled off here, but none
ether that approach in artistic concep-
ton and execution the Boyle brand.
Quite naturally, Boyle denied being
the man who, at the point of a pistol
held up the porter of the Rylander
Shoe Co., who in response to an order
phoned the house, had gone to deliver
g package of goods and $3.50 in change
tc an address on Prince street.
Chief Johnson states that this exact
amount-$2. 50-was found tucked away
in Boyles jeans. He did not want the
shoes and hose ordered, and the badly
scared negro carried them back to the
store of the Rylander Shoe Co. The
porter has positively identified Boyle
Chies Johnson said yesterday.
Boyle admits having the pistol found
concealed on his person-an admission
scarcely necessary-but denies that u.
phoned in the fake order to the Ry-
lander Shoe Co. to send the goods or
dered and the change-$250.
Boyle evidently intended working
other stores here. He had checked
from list, found in his pocket, the
stores of the Rylander Shoe Co. anil
the Windsor Pharmacy. He had phon-
ed an order to another drug store here
for few cigars and change for $2)
bill, and the druggist was just upon the
point of sending the cash and the stog-
les when he learned of the capture Of
Boyle for the Rylander store hold-up.
Boyle is evidently a smooth propo-
sition. He is the first one to engage
in road agency hold-up here, and
will be held for the criminal term o.
the city court, which convenes the
first Monday in April.

CITY COUNCIL
WANTS LAUNDRY
MADE SANITARY
WASH WOMEN TO REGISTER
With City Clerk and Get a
License

And now be it known to all men,
and to housekeepers as well-that the
spirit of sanitation in Americas has
spread until the queen of the washtub
is enveloped in its meshes The vigil
liant city council is righteously camp
ing upon the trail of her charcoal ma
jesty, the washerwoman, and the queen
of suds must sit up and take notice.
To the end that better sanitary meas
ures be enforced. an ordinance has
been introduced in the Aemricus coun-
Gil requiring all washwomen in the city
to register with City Clerk Weaver and
take out license as a professional soap
juggler, suds singer and shirt wreck
er. This is done to prevent anw pos
sible spread of contagious disease AMI
also to keep tab on the black slashers
of masculine and feminine habiliments.
The ordinance will doubtless pass.

MUCH INTEREST
AROUSED AMONG
AMERICUS GUARD
RESULT OF RECENT SMOKER
Many ACCGSSiODS to Ranks
viii Result

Americas Light Infantrymen were
alike elated and enthused yesterday as
a result of the smoker given at the
armory the night before by the COM
pany officers, Captain Fort and Lieu
tenants McLendon and Hogue, and on
which occasion addresses were deliv-
cred by well known speakers, includ-
ing Mr.. j. E. Mathis, Mr.. Crawford
Wheatley, Dr. Henry B. Allen, Cap
tain John A. Cobb and others.
The addresses were upon the line Of
duty owed by young men in maintain
ing the military organization of Geor-
gia, and the beneficial results thus at
tanned by individual members, and each
speaker was literally applauded
That the Americas Light Infantry
stands in the front rank of the state
troops is a well known fact Few com
panies of the entire state guard excel
it in point of numbers, while for eff
cheney it is the equal of any In the
Second Georgia regiment there is no
better command than Company I, the
Americas Light Infantry.
Made up as it is of the best young
men of Americas, sturdy, sterling fei-
lcws who know their duty and do it,
the company was never before in bet
ter physical condition. More than a
half hundred names are upon the COM
pany's roster and many Of these have
for years been ardent members of the
old "A. L. L." which for thirty years
has been the crack military command
Of south Georgia.
Bonds of strongest friendship exist
between the officers and men, and the
armory partakes more of the nature CT
a high-class club where the men meet
and mingle socially.
The armory is one of the best BULL
ings in the city, especially arranged
for the purpose, and it kept neat, spick
and span at all times. Quite recently
the walls have been repainted ami
other improvements made which adj
no little to the general appearance. The
men feel perfectly at ease there, and
this home feeling is beneficial to them
and to the company in many ways.
The spirit of enthusiasm aroused
at the recent meeting will result in
many accessions to the ranks of the
A. L. l., and the total enlistment will
soon exceed sixty, it is generally be-
lieved.

SAVANNAH LAWYERS ENDORSED
SPEER FOR TEXAS APPOINT
MENT IN ORDER TO RID GEORGIA
OF HIS PESENCE, WITNESS SAID
Speer Was Kept Away
While Osborne Testified
Osborne Charged Judge With "Thiri
Degree Methods in PeOn&ge Case
Savannah Hearing to Conclude Next
Week.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 29.-JudSe
Emory Speer did not remain in the
court room today to hear w. W. Os-
borne, a prominent Savannah lawyer,
testify against him before the congress
sional investigating committee. The
judge did not come into the court
room at all during Mr. Osborne's tes-
timony, which was of very bitter
and cutting nature. His counsel said
that he was in his Office busiIy engag-
ed in preparing certain features for
defensive showing.
1t seems certain now that the ses-
sion in Savannah will extend into next
week, as the committee has a large
number of witnesses yet to examine
and quite number of matters to in
quire into Practically all of the lead
ing members of the Savannah bar
will go on the stand and state their
knowledge of various facts about
which the committee is inquiring.
Today Judge speer was charged
with third degree" methods in the
treatment of men charged with peon-
age; with brow-beating attorneys; with
unfair conduct in the trial of cases;
with unjustly placing corporations
into bankruptcy; and with "julicial
corruptness." Attorney Osborne de-
clared that even in case won by him
in Judge Speer's court he did not feel
that justice had been done.
Osborne on the Stand.
w. w. Osborne, senior member of
the Savannah law firm of Osborne e
Lawrence, was the first witness call
ed at the Speer investigation this
morning. He said he had practiced in
Judge Speer's court for 81 years.
Mr. Osborne declared that the ends
of justice demand the removal OF
Judge Speer, that the judge had never
wen the respect of TIE bar, that he is
possessed with a colossal conceit, that
he loves the spotlight, and is intox-
icated by the power he Yields; that h.
usurps the power of attorneys and jul
ries; that a case tried in Judge Speer's
court fairly is an exception; that JUS
tice or injustice, legality or illegality
are matters Of secondary consideration
by Judge Speer; that he is an egoti5t
utterly devoid of personal courage,
that such a type truckles to those above
and takes a fiendish del. ght in driving
those under him"
How Road Was Wrecked.
Mr. Osborne said that the opinions
expressed by himself were, in his
opinion shared by the people gener-
ally. He was an attorney in the case
of McReynolds vs.. City and Suburban
railway According to the witness,
this litigation grew out of Compel
tive rate war in Savannah, in 1894
and 1885 between the City and Subur-
ban railway, and the Savannah
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope rail
way one one side and the Electric rail-
way of Savannah and the Savannah
street railway on the other.

that Judge Speer was fully acquaint-
ed with the facts in the case, he threw
