A Man Who Never Breaks a Pledge pnd Never Makes a Promise that He Cannot Keep —Will Assume Presi dency of a Bank Next Mo'nday. Special to The Herald. Savannah, Ga., March 8.—There is much speculation in Savannah as to -whether Mr. W. W. Osborne, long in control politically in Savannah and Chatham County, is not getting ready to lay aside his political toga and per mit some one else to assume the lead ership of the administration forces. It is believed that when Mr. Osborne as sumes the presidency of the new Ex change Bank, which he is to do on Monday, he will put aside much of his political activity. Just who is to take his place is not known, hut there are plenty of men in the ranks of the Citizens’’Club vtbo would probably be willing to do so. If Mr. Osborne does pass from the political arena into.that of business, Savannah will losa its most astute pol itician, hut such an action would not surprise some of those close to him.

Dyer in .front of the city hall a few weeks ago. The trial attracted more attention than any murder trial in Savannah in many years. It attracted the attention of all classes. The d£ fendant is the son of a well-known politician, and politics was at the bot tom of the homicide. The feeling between two political factions was Very acute, and Dyer, with two of his brothers, went to the city hall in search of Plumbing In spector McKenna. They met McKen na, James Lane and James McBrjd,e, and a shooting affray started.^ Tim McBride was on the third floor of the city hall, and fearing his father would ho killed, ran down into the street and began shooting at the offendng trio. He killed George Dyer. The other two were also shot, hut not by young Mc Bride. Policeman Kearney was killed, and Sap Dyer, a brother of the man whom McBride killed, is now in jail and will soon he tried for the Kearney murder. Young McBride appeared for trial this morning looking a little careworn from his experience in jail, hut he and his friends predict that he will he acquitted. Messrs. Twiggs and Oliver are defending him and Mr: W. C. Hart- ridge is assisting the solicitor-general in the prosecution. It is expetced that the trial will .he over by tomorrow morning z^the latest, as there is not a great deal of evidence to hear. Considerable trou ble was experienced in getting a jury today, as so many people were preju diced one way or another. Several talesmen went off for cause, being opposed to capital punishment. It is expected that McBride’s de fense will be that he shot to protect the life of his father. Vp to this after noon he had not gone upon the stand in his own defense. sim MB JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 8. — Harry Vaughn, “Icebox" Ryan and Charles Raymond, convicts concerned In the mutiny at. the state peni tentiary last November, and'charged with killing the gateman, Were to day found guilty of murder in the first degree.
