BENNET DENIED BAIL
held IX JAIL FOR MURDEROUSLY
ASSACLTIXO SAT EVANS.
GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE.
JIDGE HARROW ISSIED THE CALL
YESTERDAY MORNING.
])ou, Bryan and Evan* Admitted to
Hail ly Recorder Myrick—Bennet
Will Be Held Until There la
Change in the Condition of Evan*,
(audition of Latter la Regarded
aa Seriona—lvy Gave Testimony.
Many Examined the Bar Onrlnx
the Day—Was Inspected by Chief
of Foliee.
There have been but two develop
ments in the sensational shooting: af
fray which occurred in Brynn's saloon
yesterday, these being the denial of
bail for Janies T. Bennet, and the is
suance of a call for the meeting of the
grand jury to investigate the affair
this afternoon. Both of these transpir
ed yesterday morning.
A preliminary hearing was held be
fore Recorder Myrick at 10 o'clock for
the double purpose of securing the tes
timony of Whit Ivy. one of the party,
who refused to make a statement to the
officers, and to determine upon the
question of bail for the accused.
James Doss, Gad D. Bryan, ,Jr„ and
Nat Evans were admitted to bail in the
sum of SSOO, but, after hearing the
evidence, the Recorder decided to deny
Bennet's admission to bail until there
had been a change for the better in the
condition of Nat Evans, who it Is
charged, was shot by Bennet.
Evans* Condition Critical.
The condition of none of the injured is
serious, except that of Eva.ns, which
is critical. It is impossible for the
attending physicians to say whether
the wound in the lung will prove fatal.
Because of the character of the wound,
it is a difficult matter to make any
forecast for several days, after which
time a change will take place. The
wounded man was resting well at an
early hour this morning.
A rumor was current that fear of
blood poison resulting from Bryan's
wounds was entertained. This was
denied at St. Joseph's Infirmary, where
the patient is confined. It was stated
this morning that no serious effects
would result from the two wounds in
the thigh, unless unexpected compli
cations set in.
The injury to Doss' hand, while pain
ful In the extreme, is the least serious
of any of those received. He wag con
fined to the house yesterday, but It
was stated at police headquarters last
night that he would probably be pres
ent at the Investigation before the
grand jury this afternoon.
Call to Grantl Jnry.
Shortly after court convened Judge
Barrow instructed Sheriff Schwarz to
issue notices to the grand jurors to
appear this afternoon at A o'clock. An
effort was made bv some of the inter
ested parties to have Judge Barrow
postpone the hearing for a few days,
but the court thought the matter of
sufficient gravity to require an imme
diate investigation.
The four principals, Bryan, Doss,
Evans and Bennet are charged with
assault with intent to murder. All of
them refuse to talk, except to deny
statements accredited to them. The
members of one party, Doss and Ev
ans, say that those in the other party
made a deliberate attempt to assassi
nate them, and vice versa, but besides
this, no statement can be had from
them. Nobody seems to know what
precipitated the row.
There had been bad blood between
the men, arid on the night before they
had quarrelled, but these differences
had been patched up. There was to
all appearances no immediate cause for
the affair. The men had been drink
ing, otherwise, it is said by friends of
all parties, there would have been no
fight.
Created a Sensation.
The account of the affair in the Morn
ing News was rend on all sides with
absorbing interest, and was the topic
of discussion throughout the day In
public buildings and on street corners.
The shooting did not occur until 3
o’clock, and many wondered at the
celerity and accuracy with which the
account was presented.
During the day there were many
who examined the walls and fixtures
in the bar and noted the places where
the buffets were Imbedded in the wall
or furniture, or. perhaps, had gone
through the show case. There wits evi
dence of nearly a score of shots, and
for every shot there was a different
story or theory of “how It happened."
A few Hours after the shooting Chief
Garfunkel, accompanied by a repre
sentative of the Morning News, made
an inspection of the premises. It was
at this Investigation that it developed
that the slight abrasion on Ivey's shoul
der, caused from the graze of a stray
shot, had been received by him while
he was attempting to protect himself
by hiding under the counter. The ball
went through the bottom of the coun
ter and barely missed striking the
bartender In the neck.
Not In the Open.
According to the testimony of Ivy,
and others who were present when the
shooting began. Bertnet was the only
one of the duelists who was not out
In the open. He. it is stated with pos
itiveness, ‘was just inside the door to
the wine room. It is charged that he
was standing there when he shot
Evans.
Unless something unforseen prevents.
It is probable that the most intelligi
ble account of the affair which has yet
been secured will be given to the grand
jury this afternoon.. It Is also hinted
that Judge Barrow will have something
to say to the grand Jury relative to the
affair.'
BACK WITH HjS~MAN.
Chief Deputy Sheriff T. J Sweeney
returned last night from Hampton, S. C.
bringing with him Tom Jenkins, the
negro orook who. frith live others, ef
fected a daring escape from the chain
gang last spring.
The trip was without unusual Inci
dent. The account of the <aptur of
the negro appeared in the Morning
News. He wtl) be brought before Judge

tend Work.
The preparation of the Fair Ground
site for the cavalry encampment next
month has begun in earnest and com
mittees from the Racing Association
and Chamber of Commerce are busily
engaged In superintending the work of
construction.
The preparation of the site is a great
er undertaking than it was at first
thought. Already 25,000 feet of lumber
has been Ordered, to the grounds to
be used In the construction of a com
missary department, mess halls and
other buildings. There twill be 10 mess
halls. The stables are also being re
paired and partitioned off, so as to
accommodate 400 horses,
Mr. Henry Hull, representing the
Racing Association, and Messrs. Davis
and Simkins, representing the Cham
ber of Commerce, have the work un
der t'heir supervision. A visit Was
made to the grounds yesterday after
noon, at which time all minor de
tails were arranged, and an inspec
tion of the work already completed
had.
Mr. Davis has notified Col. Meldrim,
commanding the First Regiment of
Cavalry that everything will be ready
for the visiting and local cavalrymen
some time before the day for the en
campment arrives. The men them
selves are practicing guard mount, and
other camp duties, and anticipate an
instructive and pleasant week in camp.
MAY TRY POTTER
CASE IN OCTOBER.
Superior Court Will A<lJ*mrii Auk* 1
for Two Montlm.
In the Superior Court yesterday
morning Judge Barrow announced that
he would not wait until the December
term to call the case against W. J.
Potter, charged with the murder of
Fred Taylor, the negro servant of Gu
gie Bourquin, in which he has been
granted anew trial by the Supreme
Court, but said that he would call it on
Uct. 19. at which time counsel might
make whatever disposition of it they
saw fit.
This announcement brought forth a
statement from the solicitor general,
that he was prepared at any time to
undertake the trial. Counsel for the
defense then arose and said that he
was ready to proceed to trial.
Judge Barrow stated that he would
not think of keeping a Jury on the case
in the present hot weather for a week.
He said that the case had taken a week
last time, and it would probably take
a week this time. On Oct. 19. he said,
he would call the case, and at that
time counsel could, if they desired,
continue it until the December term, or
have any preliminary matters disposed
of. He suggested that if it were im
possible to secure a Jury at that time,
that some agreement could be made
for trying the cause in another county.
MOTHER AND CHILDREN
GET 7 CENTS A DAY.
Wayward Wife Allotted Nominal
Mum ns Alimony in Superior Court.
The smallest amount ever awarded
for alimony, so far as the records of
recent years disclose, was awarded to
Rena Butler, for the support of herself
and two minor children, in the Supe
rior Court yesterday.
Fifty cents a week is the ponderous
sum which the court, after exhaustive
and exhausting argument had, ordered,
decreed and adjudged should be paid to
the weaker vessef by the husband, Ben
Butler.
Ben maintained that Rena was an
obstreperous individual, of shrewdlsh
temperament, and said that If she were
the weaker vessel she shouldn’t carry
so much sail. He said that he had
always sent her board money, but that
she had spent it for other purposes.
The court, after due deliberation and
circumspection, decided to give the
wife $2 a month as pin money alimony.
The lawyer was allotted $lO. which he
will receive In installments of 50 cents
a week. Ben declared after the trial
that when he entered the blissful state
of connubial existence he bit off more
than he could chew.
PREACHER SUED FOR ALIMONY
Wife Wants Part of Income Realized
from Three nifTerent Congregations.
A minister In three churches was
sued for permanent alimony in the
Superior Court yesterday.
Gertrude Heyward, instituted legal
procedings against her husband, Leßoy
Heyward. In which ahe alleges that he
deserted her, leaving her without
means of support. Her husband, she
save, is minister In three colored
churches, and as pastor realizes a
lump sum of at least $45.
The pair were married in July 1899
and got along very well together un
til September 1901, at which time, the
wife avers, her husband deserted her.
She then tried to hoe her own row, but
not realizing but $8 a month from her
washing and ironing, she submits that
she is compelled to pray the court
to make her husband hand over a part
of his Income.
The case has been set for a hearing
on Saturday, July 6. at which time
Judge Barrow, after hearing from both
sides, will award suitable alimony for
the wife.

SHRINERS MADE MERRY
ON TYBEE SANDS.
Alee Temple Has Increased Its Mem
bership to 2.70.
Alee Temple, Mystic Shriners re
ceived fourteen additions to Us mem
bership yesterday at the ceremonial
session held at Bohan's pa'vilion, Tybee
Island. Twelve of these were by ini
tiation, and two by dimit from Yaarab
Temple, of Atlanta.
It had been expected that the num
ber. of candidates would have been
greater by four, but for business rea
sons neither Mayor Chappell of Co
lumbus, nor Mayor Rhode£ of Athens
could be present, and for the same rea
sons two of the other prospective no
bles failed to arrive.
Those who did put in an appearance,
however, were convinced before the ses
sion was over, that the sands of Tybee
are quite as hot as those of the desert
usually crossed. They enjoyed them
selves, however, held on to the rope as
they were bid, and by the time the
traditional banquet was finished, near
ly 1 o'clock this morning, they had for
gotten their troubles, and remembered
only that they were full fledged nobles,
and would help to handle the “fresh
meat” next time.
The session was attended by a large
number of the members, who went to
the island on the 3:30 o'clock train.
Those who took the degree are Messrs.
Cecil Gabbett, Clarence R. Richards,
Frank Marion Oliver, C. A. G. Bloom
quist, E. A. Moynelo, John W. IBridger
and Lee G. Armstrong of Savannah;
Oliver H. Collar of Brunswick, Simeon
Bel! nnd William M. Fulcher of
Waynesboro. John E. Foye of Egypt,
and James E. White of Columbus.
Those who joined by demit are Messrs.
N. J. Etheridge and J. C. Sasser of Ma
con.
The work was conducted by Poten
tate E. A. Cutts. All of the officers
were present but two and their places
were taken by Col. R. L. Colding and
Mr. I. A. Solomons. At the banquet,
though there was no programme, a
number of the nobles were called on
for talks and made responses in ac
cordance with the spirit of the occa
sion.
By the additions to her roll yester
day Alee Temple now has a member
ship of 250.
THREE INJURED
BY OVERTURNED BUGGY.
Air. n. Dab nnd Grnudelilldren Nar
rowly Escape Death.
As the result of being thrown from
his buggy yesterday by a frightened
horse, Mr. B. Dub, proprietor of the
Screven House, is confined to his room
suffering with a number of bruises.
Both he and his two grandchildren, the
son and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
A. S. Guckenheimer, had a narrow es
cape from death in the accident.
As has been his custom for many
months. Mr. Dub was taking the child
ren to their father’s store, when near
the gate of the Central Railroad yard
a passing street car caused the horse
to jump. The buggy was overturned
aid Mr. Dub thrown to the pavement
and the children with him. He had
been teaching the boy to drive by hold
ing him in his lap with the reins held
behind the little one’s back. Because
of the position of the lines when the
occupants of the buggy were thrown
out the boy was tangled in the reins
and was dragged along the pavement
until the frightened animal stopped,
which, fortunately was within a short
distance of the place the accident oc
curred.
Both of the children are slightly
bruised and Mr. Dub has bruises all
over his body, those on the face, the
wrist and the knee being' particularly
painful. No more disagreeable results
are expected, however, than a day or
two’s confinement to his room.
IRISHMEN ASKVID 7
FOR THOSE ACROSS SEA.
The Joseph Devlin branch of the
United Irish League is continuing its
work in behalf of the purpose for which
it was formed: to help the people of
Ireland to secure a greater amount of
political freedom, and to enable them
to buy and own the lands that they
now till for the profit of others.
The organization recently sent out a
letter to Savannahians, asking help in
this work, and has received a, great
deal of encouragement. All that is
asked is a contribution of $1 a year.
This effort to secure funds will be con
tinued, and doubtless will result in se
curing a fund large enough to make a
valuable contribution to the general
fund.
BURGLAR'S BOLD WORK.
A bold black burglar caused consid
erable excitement and apprehension at
Westover Junction yesterday. He en
tered several houses, gathered up sil
verware and any other valuables in
easy reach, and continued on his
course. He was finally stopped, and
when commanded to halt, fled into the
woods.
A band of men was organized, but
after a hunt of nearly an hour, gave up
the chase. The negro was a stranger.
The police in Savannah were notified,
and are on the outlook for a man an
swering the description furnished by
the Westover authorities.
A Million a Month.
Few people will have any quick con
ception of the enormous significance
of the word “million.” It is well-known
that Cascarets, "Candy Cathartic, un
doubtedly the most popular laxative
medicine in the world, have a sale of
a million boxes a month. These million
boxes contain 10.000,000 Cascaret tab
lets. which if laid side by side would
make a row a hundred miles in length.
The tablets used In a year would
teach from Chicago to New York. On
the average over 30,000 people take a
Cascaret tablets daily, surely a won
derful testimonial to a meritorious ar
ticle well advertised.—ad.

TABLETS UNVEILED
CLOSING FEATURES OF 81-CEXTEN
ARY CELEBRATION.
ADDRESS BY DR. J. F. GOUCHER
DELIVERED BEFORE LARGE AS
SEMBLAGE IN TRINITY.
Snhject of the Address Mins “The
Coctaneons Rise of Methodism
nnd Anglo Saxon Supremacy.”
Tablets on Three Buildings Were
Unveiled in Presence of Large
Gatherings—lnteresting Exercises
Brought the Celebration to a
Close—Long Meter Doxology Sang
in the Street Near Place Where
Wesley Had Li>-ed.
With fitting ceremonies, the three
bronze tablets that mark the locations
where John Wesley lived, worked ana
preached, during his stay in America,
were unveiled yesterday in the pres
ence of large and Int-rested gatherings.
The exercises of the day closed the
Wesley Bi-Centenary celebration,
which begun last Thursday, and which
has brought together a great number
of people who honor and revere the
memory of the great and good man
Wesley.
The programme Included the deliv
ery of a very able and Interesting ad
dress, at Trinity Church, .by Rev. Dr.
J. F. Goucher of Baltimore, and this
was followed by the actual unveiling
of the bronzes. The occasion brought
out a large number of people, and the
part of the programme carried out at
the Postoffice, Custom House and at
Drayton and Congress streets was nat
urally of a nature to attract a crowd
from the business people and others.
The exercises were all of a simple
nature and easily understood, even by
the passer who had no previous knowl
edge of the event.
The address by Dr. Goucher was
scholarly and instructive. It contain
ed much that was of great value his
torically, and was put into such suc
cinct and portable form as to be ap
preciated by everyone without effort.
The argument seemed conclusive and
incontestable. It first traced the par
allef course of Methodism and Anglo
Saxon advance, and then averred
fearlessly that it was no mere coin
cidence. but cause and effect. That
one may owe as much to the other was
not denied, but that the advance of the
Anglo Saxon might not have been so
strong and wonderful, without Wesley,
was at least suggested.
The service in the church began at
11 o'clock. At that hour the church
was filled with interested people, and
upon the platform, and in the chancel
were noted. Bishop W. A. Candler,
Bishop Galloway, Rev. Dr. Thos. D.
Kllis, Rev. Dr. A M. Williams, Judge
S. B. Adams. Hon. J. C. C. Black.
Hon. DuPont Guerry, Rev. Dr. John
D. Jordan, Rev. Dr. McCorkle, Rev.
Dr. J. Y. Fair, Rev. Dr. W. C. Schaef
fer, Rev. J. A. Smith, Rev. G. N. Mc-
Donnell. Rev. Dr. J. W. Heidt, Rev.
Dr. Thirkield, Col. J. R. Saussy, Rev.
Dr. Fullwood, Rev. C. A. Jackson and
others. *
Bishop Candler announced that the
service would open with the singing
of hymn No. 435. This was one of the
hymns by John Wesley. Rev. Dr.
Fullwood then led in prayer, and Bish
op Galloway read a portion of the
Scriptures from the first chapter of St.
John.
Rfev. Dr. Goucher was then intro
duced by Bishop Candler and delivered
his address.
Tnblets Unveiled.
At the close of the address the min
isters, speakers and members of spec
ial committees entered carriages as
follows:
First Carriage—Dr. J. F. Goucher,

The carriages started off slowly and
the great majority of the people who
had been in Trinity Church followed
to the United States postoffice. Here,
on the west end. facing .Whitaker
street, the first of the tablets was
seen, covered with the combined folds
of the flags of England and the United
States.
Rev. J. A. Smith, pastor of Ep
worth Church stepped out on the side
walk and near the tablet; his little
daughter Beulah Louise took the cords
that held the flags together, and Mr.
Smith said: "It is fitting and proper
that this city of monuments and tab
lets erected to commemorate the lives
of great men who have made rich this
city In the things which perish not,
that we mark a few of the places of
a man whose memory lives in the
love and veneration of the millions
who follow him as he followed Christ.
We unveil to-day oh this spot of
ground, on which once stood the
preaching place of Mr. Wesley, this
tablet. May his life and the lives of
millions of his followers continue to be
as precious ointment poured forth in
all the earth."
The cords were then drawn jind the
bronze was revealed with its inscrip
tion.
At the Custom Honse.
The procession then moved to the
United States Custom House, at the
corner of Bull and Bay streets, and on
the west, facing Bull street, a second
tablet was unveiled. Here Rev.
Charles A. Jackson, pastor of Grace
Church, said: “It Is indeed appropriate
that the government of these United
States honor a citizen like John Wes
ley by authorizing a tablet on this pub
lic building. It was during the early
days of the colony, when pirates smug
gled in goods, that the man whom we
| honor taught In private and preached
in public against su< b practices and

COMMISSIONERS DISCUSS
ROAD TO RIFLE RANGE.
Mr. Moore Sees No Use in Petitioning
City Council Now.
The County Commissioners are dis
posed to look with favor upon the pro
posed road to Avondale range, via the
Golf and Gun clubs, and. if the peti
tioners will attach to their petition
quit claims to a right of way, it is not
at all improbable that the commission
ers will act favorably on it.
"Oh, yes, ive're fond of building
roads," said Commissioner and Vice
Chairman Moore, when asked the po
sition of the board in regard to the
matter. But we have so many to
construct. Personally I would like to
see a road such as is suggested, from
the Catholic Cemetery to the rifle
range.
“I don't think the petitioners intend
to present the petition to the City
Council. That was circulated at a
time when the city contemplated the
opening of several streets in the east
ern section of the city, and when the
Thunderbolt, or Skidaway road, was
a toll-road. Since the road has been
bought by the county, I see no neces
sity for extending any of the streets
in the city. There is an excellent road
as far as the Catholic Cemetery, from
which point the road might be con
structed to the range."
Mr. Albert Wylly, who is the chair
man of the Committee on Roads and
Bridges of the County Commissioners,
said that it would be both Impossible
and improper to say what course the
commissioners would pursue if the
matter were presented to them. He'
said that he had been approached by
the petitioners, and had told them that
if they would secure a right of way,
the matter would be considered by the
commissioners.
"Further than this, I cannot say,”
said he. “The county has a great deal
of work mapped out, which it will take
a long time to complete. It is our
purpose to construct roads first where
they are worst needed.”
