THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JUNE 21. 1900.
GRANTED FURTHER LIBERTY.
A. 3. GRIFFIN RELEASED INTIL
MONDAY BY COt RT ORDER.
Ball in Trover Proceedings Institu
ted Against Him by Alii Morrison,
a Desreputnble Woman of Ihe
City, for Furniture Stored With
Him by Her Sister Soe— Part of the
Furniture Had Been Levied on
anil Sold After the Sister’s Abrupt
Departure From the City Last
Year—l liable to Give Bond Air.
Griffin Would Hare Gone to Jnlt
Hut for the Order.
Upon application by his attorney, A. S.
Griilin, the defendant in an action of bail
in trove-, instituted by Mil Morrison, was
released from the custody of ihe sheriff
of the City Court on yesterday afternoon,
and an order was granted directing the
plaintiff to show cause before Judge Nor
wood why the ease should not lie dis
missed.
The ease exemplifies the hardships that
may easily be inflicted by anyone who
desires to take advantage of the action
of hail in trover, hardships that would
have resulted from the institution of the
present proceeding, but for the kindness
and courtesy of the sheriff and his offi
cers. and the prompt action of Judge Nor
wood.
Mil and Sue Morrison are a couple of
women of the tenderloin. Th© defendant
in the bail in trover proceedings, is a re
spectable business man of Savannah,
though ho is of limited means. The facts
in the case appear to be that last year,
when ihe women were forced to move
from their then abiding "place, by the po
lice, they came to the conclusion that it
would be wiser and better for them, if
for a while, they shook th© dust of the
city entirely from their feel, and this they
determined to do.
Having then no use for the furniture
which had been used in their house. Sue
Morrison had it stored with Mr. Griffin,
who is in the. furniture storage business.
She entered into a contract with him for
the storage of the furniture and had it
Insured with a loehl firm of insurance
agents for SI,OOO. Then, presumably, she
and her sister left Savannah. At any rate
they were not heard of in police circles
for number of months, a test that af
fords reasonable satisfactory evidence
that, they were not in the city.
As soon as their creditors heard of the
women s departure from the city they
sued out garnishments and atiaetaments
against every one who they believed owed
the women anything or had any goods of
theirs in his possession. Among the de
fendants in attachment was Mr. Griffin.
His answer to the attachment showed that
the goods that he held had been left in
his possession by Sue Morrison and that
he had known nothing of Mit in the trans
action.
Under an order of a justice’s court,
regularly and legally obtained, the goods
in his possession were levied upon for the
debts of the sisters, were advertised and
enough of them to satisfy the claims of
the creditors were eo’d.
Lai ly Mli Morrison and possibly her
sister re’tirncd to Ihe city, and one of ihe
first acts of Mit was to institute an ac
tion of bail in trover aga nst Mr. Grif
fin. In this she alleged ihat he had in his
possession furniture tx long ng to her and
amounting in value to $2,f00. She assert
ed that the rent on the furniture for the
time he had had it in his possession was
well worth S3OO and petitioned ihe court
to allow her that sum, also over and
abeve the value of the arXcles she
claimed.
The law rigulating the action of ball in
trov r pr tides that the def ndant in such
a proceeding shall either produce the ar
ticles for which the action is instituted,
give bond for twice th' amount of their
value, for their forthcoming to answer the
final deciee of the court or go to jail.
Mr. Griffin was not in a position to com
ply with but one of th se requirements.
Some of the articles for which the ac
tion had been brought had been levied on
and sold under the executions Issuing from
the justice's court in favor of the credi
tors of the two women. Mr. Griffin is a
man of limited means and not able to
give bond for twice the alleged value of
the furniture and Its rental, so that all
that he could do, under the strict letter
of the low, was to go to jail. By the
courtesy of the court officers, Mr. Grif
fin was permitted to be at liberty on his
own recognizance until yesterday after
noon, when a hearing was had before
Judge Norwood and the facts were made
to appear to the court by Mr. W. F. Slai
ter. representing the defendant.
Under this showing Judge Norwood
granted an order direeling that the de
fendant be permitted to continue at lib
erty until Monday and that at noon of
that day the plaintiff be required to show
cause why the privilege should not be his
indefinitely. Had the defendant been less
well known in the community and the
officers of the court, for this reason, at
all doubtful as to his good faith in ob
serving the promise to appear promptly
at the time set for th© hearing, he would
have been languishing in jail since the
day the bail in trover proceeding was
first issued.

INVESTIGATION BA' POLICE.
No Evidence Found Against Anyone
Except Chief Manly.
Atlanta, June 20,—The promised sweep
ing investigat on of the poll ’© department
clos.d o-night, and thus far no eijd-nce
has been adduced except against Chief of

which is that ho refused to abate a
nuisance when directed to do so, and that
ho has been grossly negligent in beir.g
absent from his post of duty. The com
mittee will meet Friday night to formu
late Its report.
There was a warm clash between Com
missi,, ner Jones and Attorney Moyers
dining the investigation. Moyers wanted
his client, the chief. 10 remain in the
room to bridle the two-dollar policemen
who might be induced to testify to certain
things in the ch:ef’s absence, but not in
his presence. Commission r Jones hotly
r p ad that the remark was unjust and
uncalled for and asked the attorney to
retract it, but he would not.

"BEAU” BLAKE.
Tlie Graphic Story a Texan Tells
About the Irish Brigade Com
mander.
From the New Orleans Tlmes-Democral.
"I know 'Buck' Blake, or "Beau’ Blake,
as some call him, who Is now in com
mand of the Irish Brigade with the
Boers," said a Texas man the other even
ing. “He had been a cowboy, and at the
time I made his acquaintance was inter
ested with a Kentuckian named Harvey
Watson in a horse ranch south of
Brownsville. He was a big. good-natur
ed. powerful fellow, wilh humorous Irish
blue eyes and a small, sandy mustache.
Although he had no record as a 'bad man,’
it was pretty well understood that he
had plenty of sand and could take care
of himself in an emergency. I saw that
fully demonstrated one night at Fort
Worth. He was in town on some busi
ness, and, happening to walk into a big
bar attached to a gambling house then
famous throughout tilts Southwest, en
countered a cattleman, named Ew Arm
strong, with whom he had had some dif
ficulty over a stock brand.
“Armstrong had the reputation of be
ing a 'killer,' and as soon as he saw
Illake he reopened the old quarrel. Blake
replied to his remarks good-humoredly,
but he became more and more insulting,
and finally whipped out a six-shooter and
leveled it at the Irishman's head. 'Now,
you hound!' he roared, 'I want you to tell
the whole house that you're a liar.'
"The action was so sudden that Blake
had no time to defend himself, but he
never turned a hair. ‘Aw, put that thing
away,' he said, laughingly. Then, look
ing over Armstrong’s shoulder, he added,
as if speaking to somebody behind him;
'lt's all right, Harvey; he’s only kid
ding.’
"Thinking that Blake's partner, Wat
son, had entered the place and was then
In his rear, the desperado Instantly wheel
ed around. As he did so the big Irish
man hit him a crushing blow under the
ear and knocked him fully a dozen feet.
His revolver flew out of his hand as he
fell and exploded harmlessly in the air,
and before he could recover his senses
Blake was on his chest with his hands
on his throat.
"That ended the row anil made an ever
lasting impression on my mind. By the
way, Blake got his nickname of ’Beau’
from a favorite expression of his while
a cowboy. On Sundays he used to ‘beau
up, as he called it, to visit some girls
on an adjoining ranch. ’Beauing up’ con
sisted of shaving and taking hfs trous
ers out of his boots.”
Importance of Flat Trajectory.
From the Fortnightly Review.
Trajectory, as every one will know, i*
the curve described bj’ the bullet between
the muzzle of the rifle and the point
where It strikes the ground or the object
aimed at. A flat trajectory is Important
for three reasons: It Insures within cer
tain limits, which It is unnecessary to
enumerate, a long range; it insures a
wider death-dealing belt or zone of dan
ger, for not only is there greater proba
bility of hitting by direct fire an object
of given high!, but a bullet having a flat
trajectory, after striking the ground at a
less angle than one having a high trajec
tory, will probably ricochet further an 1
tiave thus more chances of hitting an en
emy; and. thirdly, and most importantly,
a flat trajectory is desirable because mis
takes In judging distances do not militate
to the same Important extent against suc
cess In hitting the object aimed at. One
example will make this plain. Say Tommy
wnnis to hit an enemy who is. he thinks,
VOOO yards from him, hut who really Is
only 900 yards off Mistakes of under
or over-estimating distances by 100 yards,
even the most expert marksman In til
world well constantly make, at ranges be
yond 700 or SOO yards. And the British
soldier. It must no* be forgotten, Is nar
tlcularly apt to make far worse errors In
this respect, for the Instruction ho re
ceives In Judging distances is far inferior
to that which Is insisted upon In all the
continents! arml-w. Were he to be armed
with the Msrtlnl-Heivry. with Its muzzle
velocity of only 1,300 feet per eecond,
against 2,000 feet of the present scrvl a
rifle, he would overshoot his mark by
more than 21 feet. With the Lee-Met
ford, on the other hand, which, as one
result of the greater muzzle velocity, has
a much flitter trajectory, the bullet would
pass not more than eleven feet over the
point aimed at. This elementary illus
tration will demonstrate how Important
It Is in war that rifles should nave in flat
• trajectory aa possible, with due regard

UHATED PIPPIN APPLE* CIDER.
This pure cider is served on steamers on
the American line, and at the Waldorf-As
to.ia and lead.ng family grocers in New
Yo k city.
Lauldirgra Pippin c : der Is made from
the pure juice ot hand p < ked apples from
his own mill on the premises. It is abso
lutely pure apple juice, and all (he effer-
V'sc< nee is natural, and we guarantee it
to be the ch< icest cider in he world.
Lead ng ph>s.elans in New York and
Brc>k.yn recommend this cider to their
patients its p rf..ct purity is guaranteed.
In Paulding's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton's Pippins aie used. The ap
ples are lef( on the trees until late in Oc
tober when they are hand picked and
placed In a dry ro. m to ripen.
Paulding says ‘‘the appPs are thorough
ly crushed in h s own mill and ihe juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks ” The difference between crushing
and grinding apu.es is very great
You will know the difference between
cr shed app es and ground apples if you
take some s’erms and chew them, you will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding’s crush' and apples. This cider has
not the ext emu? sw e ness o' the Russet
elder, and everyone will find the Pauld
ing's Pippin elder just light to take with
dinner. LI PPM AN BROS ,
