THE VALDOSTA TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1905.
TWO ROBBERS ARE
James Hickey and Frank Moran
They Were Accused of Robbing Mr.
J. T. Roberts as he Got Upon the
Train Here on his Way to Philadel
phia—James King and Moran are
to be Tried Separately, Though In
dicted Together.
Jas. Hickey and Frank Moran were
found guilty of robbery by a Jury last
night, the Jury remaining out only a
short time on the case.
The two men were accused of rob
blng Mr. J T. Roberts as he got upon
the cars here going to Philadelphia
two weeks ago. There was strong ev-
ldenco against w»e men. besides the
evidence which showed that they
were a gang of pickpockets.
They were defended by Col. G. A.
Whittaker and they made a state
ment in their own behalf Introducing
no testimony. Moran stated that ho
and his wife and mother-in-law had
gone from Cincinnati to Florida where
they were to ronmln some time. He
left the ladles at Jacksonville and
came hack to Valdosta and was going
to Halnbrldgc prospecting for a frlond
Ho said that ho wns the son of a Vir
ginian. an old Confederate soldier and
that ho was not a robber.
Illckey also mnue a statement In
which ho told of his stay at the
Pax son house while hero, lie said
thnt he was sick and did not leave
the house except to go and get some
Llthla water and a cigar. He said
thnt he was in the Florence Hotel
when the alleged robbing was done.
Grasping a Bible, ho opened It and
clutched It between his bands, declar
ing that ho hoped God would crush
his bones If he woro not lolling the
truth. But the evidence was against
him and ho was found guilty.
King Prosecuting King Today,
James King 1* the defondant in a
enseftoday, having been Indicted with
ffdthaen 'of ’
Georgia Southern dopot here.
King was found guilty Just before
noon and Moran Is next to go upon
trlnl In the second case against him.
Mr. King from 8pnrks told of his
robbery In a manner that impressed
all who head his story. He recog
nized the two men who robbed him.
Ho paid the train had started toward
the old depot and tho coachoa woro
crowded. -Those men were between
the coaches ami as he got on they
robb*»d him. lie says that ho had his
hand In his pocket and on his money
when they grabbed him. Jerked his
hand oat and robbed him by main
force and thou Jumped from tho train,
stating they were on tho wrong train.
King ami Moran were Indicted to
gether, tint they decided to be tried
separately. After King's case goes
to the Jury, it Is probably that Moran
will be put on trial for the new
charge against him.
SON KILLS HIS FATHER.
WHO HAD UPBRAIDED HIM FOR
DRIVING TEAM.
Will Owens Fires Upon His Parent
While Under the Influence of Whis
key Saturday,
Commerce, Nov. 28—Saturday night
about five miles from this place, An
drew Ow’ens, fifty years old, was shot
and Instantly killed by his son, Will.
The facts seems to show that the
Min was strongly under the influence
of whiskey and upon his return from
Commerce his father rebuked him for
driving the team so hard.
This enraged the young man and
a difficulty ensued.
Young Ow&ns says his father made
an effort to strike him with a metal
bucket and In Justice to himself he
shot his father. Four shots took ef
fect, one having enrered the mouth,
and others at different parts of the
body. No arrest has been made and
tho son remains with the family.

CITY COURT.

FACTS ABOUT CIGARS.
Few cigar smokers are aware that
all cigars are named according to
their color and shape. A dead black
cigar, for Instance, Is an "Oscuro,"
a very dark brown one Is a "Colors
do,” a medium brown is a "Colorado
Clara.” and a yellowish light brown
"Claro.” Most smokers know the
names of the shades from "Claro” to
Colorado,” and that It Is far as most
of them noed to know. As to the
shapes, a "Napoleon” Is the biggest
of all cigars, Is seven Inches long;
‘Perfecto” swells In the middle and
tapers down to a very small head
at tho lighting end; a “Panatella” Is
a thin, straight up and down cigar
without tho graceful curve of the
Perfecto;” a "Conchas” is a very
short and fat, and a “Londress” Is
shaped like a "Perfecto”, except that
It docs not taper to so small a head
at the lighting end. A "Relna Victo-|
ria” Is a "Londresa" that cornea pack
od In a ribborf tied bundle of fifty
pieces, instead of In tho usual four
layers of thlrteon, twelve, thirteen
twelve.

Count Witte stands out as the hero
of the hour, says Charles Johnston In
Harper's Weekly. More than Hint, he
Is now one of the three most conspicu
ous personalities In the world, and the
nation at whose head lie stands Is the
second In the worltl In point of terri
tory and the tlrst of the white nations
In population. Count Witte has de
served well of the Russian empire. He
has deserved well of the Russian poo
pie. lie has deserved well of humani
ty. The czar, left to reactionary conn
selors like Pohlcdonostscff, might have
deluged bis laud In blood and burled
his throne In destruction. The people, led
by the auurchists and revolutionists,
might have plunged Into disorder, mis
ery and chaos. Couut Witte bridged
tho chasm. Possessing the full confi
dence of tho czar and with the laurels
of Portsmouth still greou upon him, he
did not hesitate to withstand the czar
and tell him unwelcome truth. Stand
