Bouthslders t*r** greatly pleased with the
brick crossings the city is now putting
down at different streets. In most cases
the walks are wide and roomy enough
for several persons to pass without hav
ing to yield the walk.
It Is noticed, however, that the walks
will soon Is* hurled at some of the in
tersections unless the streets are graded
down. The workmen have, noticed this.
For Instance, on Second street, near Bar
nard. It was nere-s.ry to put the cross
ing. which is twelve feet wide, several
Inches below the surface of the street in
order to bring the walk to its proper ele
vation ITnies* the street Is graded to
its proper level on either side of the
crossing, wagons will soon plow enough

invusfig •;ft- r However. In the course of
his talk wl h h*' Vlorr.ittff News rei*>rter
bn made s me mt* t* sting atalcmcnts of
f.ct and opinion tearing upon the case.
"When we found out from Judge
Brown's decision," said Mr. Krwin, "that
it would by necessary for us to make
proof of prohubl* <-au*e of guilt of the
ii*eused. Ix fore the commissioner in New
V'ork. in order to secure their removal
to Savannah. I determined to do this
thoroughly, so that there could l*e neither
cavil nor well-founded objection to the
application for the grant of the warrant
of removal.
"I think this has been done. The vari
ous stei* in the conspiracy have been
taken up s**rlatim. and the proof that
has teen presented to the commissioner
is in such *hr|*e that It does not adm't

must come to Savannah to stand trial,
but Just when this will be It would lx*

Mr Krwin said the prosecution Inter
j posed no objt aion to the application of
the defendants for n pow'ponemrnt of fur
ther proceedings until Sept 27. In* luded
In the evidence that he had placed before
the eommlssloner was a large amount
that was documentary, and counsel for
the defense desired time to examine these
accounts and to prepare evidence In re
buttal This request fr**m counsel. Mr
Krwin was not disposer! to opt***#
The dintrl* t attorney said he did not le
-lleve that any very great amount of time
would be consumed In the further exam
ination before the commissioner, after it
is resumed on 8* pt. 27.
"But this h* true." he added "I am con
vince*! that the defendants, even after the
grant of an order of removal, will exhaust

this efTect fn>m a source altogether relia
ble However, brought to Savannah ulti
mately. they must and will be."
Mr Krwtii Mid that the evidence in the
•ase was now in such complete an*l per
fect shape that no combination of circum
stances. however adverse, could interf* r*
with Its proper presentation to the court
and Jury hv whom the defend ante will be
tried. Kv* ehouid (lUtt a c.iang* tn

he did not think that anv serious incon

"The evidence given by Mr. West cot t.

district attorney, "was interesting iird

of the time, place and circumstances *f
♦he division of the gains of the cons pirn *v
was the last essential link in the chain
of evidence
Mr. Krwin was asked If he had heard
of the suits that had l*een died against
Barter. Greene nd the Gaynors by
Michael A Connolly, one of the defen
dant* indicted with them. In which Con
nolly claim** something more than
to be due him for various services render

said to Ite the collection and arrange

that the suits had been filed, but thnt this
was all that he knew about them When
asked iM to the status of Connolly's case,
he would not say more than that the |n

Mayor Myers has begun his movement
in behalf of deeper water for Savannah
in an earnest practical manner. The May
or believe* that deeper water is a necessity
for the further growth and progress of
the port, and he believes (hat the people

this fact. He further believes that the
authorities at Washington are convinced
I of the desirability of deeper water at Sa
vannah and thnt M Is only necessary to
present the question to them In the proper
light to secure their co-operation and as
sistance.
