L. Brett and Martin High tower, Jailed .here a week ago upon the charge of vagrancy, to which' the charge of simple larceny was added several days later. | "The woman in the case” turned state's witness, and her testimony re sulted In the holding of the two men, one of them alleged to be her brother, in $300 bond. | They were both bound over to the next term of the city court. | The committal trial before Judge t Crisp yesterday grew out of the theft of a drummer's sample trunk from the Central railway depot here sev- , eral nights ago, a large part of the contents of fine goods being found at the house of the woman by the officers. ' This consisted largely of fine hoa. lery and fancy goods. The smashed , trunk was found In the grove near the station. | The sheriff afid police department have been busy on the case for four days and were fully ready when the three prisoners were arraigned for trial. I To the surprise of the men. the wo man, Emma Hightower, a fair denizen of "the bottom” kiere, told the court that her alleged brother, Martin High tower, and J- I* Brett, brought the stolen goods to her for safe keeping, stating that they fcta-d bought them. Her testimony throughotu was In . favor of the state and against the alleged trunk snatchers. The two men disdained legal as. slstance and conducted their case In a masterly manner, carefully qulz- < zing the woman and the officers whe I testified against them. But the bur- , den of proof seemed against them anS - a bond of $300 was assessed against each of the men. j This applies only' to the charge of , larceny preferred and does not In' I elude the case of alleged attempted j assault upon a young girl here last week.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer has declined to approve the adverse re port of a naval examining board on the application of Lieut. C. P. Burt, of Georgia, for promotion to the rank of lieutenant commander. Had the report been approved, Lieutenant Burt would have been dismissed from the navy, with no chance for a restora tion. Senator Bacon's Influence and inter est saved Burt the humiliation of dis missal. The senator’s Interest was I prompted by Ms absolute confidence in the belief that a Georgian was 1 about to suffer an Injustice. i Instead of approving the report, the secretary haa given the officer one year in which to prepare for another! examination for promotion to the rank of lieutenant commander. Lieut. Burt Is the son of the late Dr. W. P. Burt, of Americus. .Ho graduated from the Annapolis naval' academy In 1896 as a steam engineer and has since advanced to his pre3-' ent rank, with a salary of $2,600 per year. The examining board found Lluot. Burt deficient only in practical navi gation. He is an engineer and has had no actual experience as a naviga tor, which explains this deficiency. The board also found against nls moral character as affected by th<e charge that he does not pay his debts. The unfairness of the charge, and the conclusions of the board were developed by Senator Bacon In his brief, which; showed also the admira ble record Burt has made as an of ficer of the navy. Lieut. Burt was chief engineer on the battleship Georgia from Ports mouth to San Francisco, and thence to Manila. He is now in Washing ton. A LINIMENT FOR EXTERNAL USE.
