Savannah Nova.
A bill was (lied in the clerk’s office of
the superior court yesterday asking for u
receiver lor the Savannah, Dublin and
Western Railway Company. An injunc
tion is also asked for.
The bill was liled by William IT hcrRU-
Bon A Co., who had contracted to grade
about seventy miles of the road. On Wed
nesday a temporary injunction was granted
by Judge James M. Boynton at Forsyth,
wno appointed Salomon Cohen temporary
receiver for the company. Judge Boynton
was asked to grant tne injunction because
Judge Adams is absent from the state.
The bill is for the benedt of Messrs. Fergu
son A Co., and such other creditors as may
desire to become parties against the Ha-
vannnh, Dublin and .Western Short Line
Railway Compony.
THE CONTRACTORS.
The firm of Ferguson A Co. is composed
of William II. Ferguson and F. M. Fergu
son, who claim to be citizens of Illinois.
They show that on April 20, 188(1, J. II.
Powers contracted ivitli the Savannah,
Dublin and Western to do all the “grad
ing, grubbing and clearing” for the rail
way company for tlie lirst forty miles of
the road from Savannah westward. Two
days after that contract Ferguson A Co.
claimed that they took Powers’ contract
off of his hands, by consent of the road.
They then went to work on the road and
expended a large sum of money in grading
it and incurred heavy obligations. For all
the work done the railway company 1ms
failed to pay the orators, so they state,
anything
the
of extraordinary acuteness, courage and
political sagacity, says the Portland Ore
gonian, was “nothing but an old maid.”

A RAILROAD STORY.
Nine years ago the little town of Toledo,
the sent of Cumberland county, 111., was
the scene of one of the most re-
mnrkable trials known in criminal annals,
in which well known detectives of Cincin
nati and prominent attorneys of Indiana
figured. The ease was them’ore remarkable
because the lives of a number of persons
were.involved, and the result went to show
how close one could come to death and
yet escape, and what little circum
stances, taken advantage of, occasionally
change the aspect of affairs and defeat the
ends of justice. . I tempted robbery. He said that it had
Toledo was not the name that charming been broached to him by St. Claire and
quite conclusive up to a certain point,
and there the prosecution utterly tailed.
Plaster of paris cast* had been taken of
the footprints about the water tank. One
of these, it was found, was so small that it
was evidently that of a woman. It was
quite muddy there, and the footprints of
this person were also found upon the en
gine cab.
Tlie detective conjectured at once that
the Osgood woman, dressed in men's
clothing, and Shewmaker had been the
persons who had sprang upon the cal) and
had killed the engineer. The prosecution
endeavored to prove this and utmost suc
ceeded in establishing their point, when
Mr. Lamb introduced the evidence of two
reputable physicians of Indianapolis, who
testified that upon the night of the attack
they had been called to attend the Osgood
woman and had remained with her nil
night and part of the next day. This stag
gered the prosecution and almost quashed
their ease. The next day Detective Hazen
was not about Perry City, but the day fol
lowing he again turned up, and with a
man whom he claimed would be a most
important witness.
It was Big Ed Hennessy, one of the
smartest confidence men and general
crooks in the country, a man well iknown
in this city and who recently escaped from
a Pinkerton detective just as he was about
to be nabbed in a Vine street resort. In
this case Hennessy unquestionably told
the truth, as there was no doubt of his
knowing all about the robbery. Among
other things found about the scene of the
attempted robbery was an old black slouch
lint, a visor, and an old pair of handcuffs.
Hennessy was placed upon the stand and
swore that lie was a party to the at-

They declare that the railway .company j G f which at the proper moment gave the
is wholly insolvent and say that it has suspected persons their liberty. When
failed to pay its debts at maturity. 1
It is also charged that the directors and
stockholders are trying in every manner
possible to sill or encumber the road and
its charter franchise, in proof of which is
attached, os an exhibit, an article with the
head line “Fixing for a Big Deal,” pub
lished in the Savannah Morning News
August. 23.
Ferguson A Co. submit that to allow
such sale, alienation or incumbrance, to
the prejudice of the claim and lien of the
the .orators, would be a fraud and « gross
injustice, and would do the creditors
great injury. The orators say also that
upon tile faith of the railway company’s
obligations they themselves contracted
many obligations for sub-work, materials,
supplies, etc.
THE CONTRACTORS EMBARRASSED.
By the failure of the railway company
to comply with its obligations the con

at once placed hi.s hand in his hip pocket.
He carried his purse there, and undoubt
edly meant to give it up. Scarcely hud
lie st irted to reach for it than one of the
men fired, and thu poor fellow fell back
dead alongside the engine. To the fire
man’s surprise one of the men grasped the
lever, the throttle ilew open, and the en
gine and express car, minus the remainder
of the train, shot by him and down the
track. He watched it as long as possible,
and then heard considerable shooting of
firearms.
The express messenger, a brave fellow
named Burke, was in his ear, and of course
heard the shot that caused the engineer’s
death. He immediately surmised what
was up, and determined to hold on, and to
only give up his trust with his life. The
engine ran down the track about a half
mile or more when it suddenly came to a

SHUTTING OFF A DEAL,
The sixth prayer is that the railway
company be directed to desist from oper
ating the road or using it in any manner,
transferring, selling or encumbering it
until further order of the court.
For excavations and embankments, 10c.
per cubic yard was to be paid; for grubbing
and cleaning *'20 an acre, and for extra
haul per 100 feet, Jc, per cubic yard. It is
stated in the contract that “as’each sec
tion of ten miles is completed in a satisfac
tory manlier it will be accepted by the en
gineer, estimated and paid for without de
lay, with the exception of 10 per cent.,
which will lie retained until the comple
tion of the contract.” The contract was
to be finished by July 1st, 1888, and the
contractors were to put up a forfeit offollO.

hearing before Judge Adams or such other
judge as may be presiding in his stead.

ran. The robbers, becoming frightened,
soon made themselves scarce, shooting as
they fled, and wounding several passen
gers. The fireman took charge, the en
gine wus run back and connected with the
passenger eip's, and in a few hours the
train drew up at Terre Haute, and the af
fair was explained to the authorities.
The railroad and the express company
immediately offered a reward of *12,000,
and other rewards brought the total up to
the neat sum of .*17,500. Of course a num
ber of detectives were after the rewards.
Among the number that took hold was
the Hazen Detective Agency of Cincinnati.
Detective Larry Hazen had made consider
able of a reputation in express robbery
eases. In connection with an operator
from a St. Louis agency,he went to Indian
apolis, from there to Terre Haute, and
was not long in connecting the persons
named above with the attempted robbery,
lie rightly conjectured that some person
connected with the train had taken a
hand. The uncoupling of the express car
and engine from the balance of the train
was the work of a person who understood
the business. One day while in Indianap
olis the girl Jennie Osgood was pointed out
to him as a “friend” of “Bud” Shew
maker, the baggageman on the train upon
which the robber was attempted. He also
learned that Jennie had lived forsome time
at the house of a fellow named St. Claire,

Limb knew this, and upon cross examina
tion made Hennessy admit it. The big
fellow had also claimed that the slouch
hat found belonged to him. After show
ing up Hennessy’s character Mr. Lamb
succeeded in angering him, and then had
him.
“How do you know that hat belongs to
you?” he asked of Hennessy.
“Because I know it does!” was the re- :
•spouse, and then angrily he picked it up, : I r—\ jj— r— r—y

That was just what Mr. Lamb desired.
Turning about as quick as a flash, he gatli- ‘

Hennessey, he said:
“Here, put this on, too!”
“What for?” gasped Hennessy, drawing
back. j
“1 want this jury to see the man who
killed Milo Ames, the engineer!” thunder- I
ed tlie great attorney. “The man who |
wore Hint lint wore this visor, and is the j
man who killed Ames!” I
The scene was intensely dramatic, and J
instantly there was the greatest eonsterna-'j
tion. Hennessy made a spring for the
door, but was intercepted, and court ad
journed for the day. The next day the
eases were dismissed. John Lamb hadj
won a great legal victory. Before leaving,
however, the jury took a vote, and were
one und all in favor of hanging Hennessy
for the murder. There never was any
doubt in the minds of those acquainted
with the circumstances of the case as to
the guilt of all. including Hennessy. The
mistake (says the teller of the story in the
Cincinnati Enquirer) was in trying to con
nect Jennie Osgood with the murder. That
she wus tlie brains of the party and con
cocted the whole thing is well known, but
she was not there that night; that small
shoe print in the mild and upon tlie en
gine eat) was not tlie print of her shoe.
It, was tlie print of a relative of St. Claire,
a young mall who could wear a No. 2
lady’s shoe, and who was never called even
as a witness in the case. St. Claire lias
since moved to Indianapolis and the mem
bers of the party have scattered about
over the country, some being dead and
others fugitives from justice. Detective
Hazen did good work and had the right
people, but his two little mistakes ruined
his case and the killing of an innocent man
went unavenged.
