DAMOND QUEEN
IS IN SAVANNAH
RELEASED FROM PRISON.
LETT MrLI.KDGEVIL.LEI FARM IN
MORNING FOR HOMES.
Ilya She Is Thankful for Liberty
and Feels Very Appreciative to All
Who Aided Her in Getting Pardon.
Wonts to Breathe Fare Air ot
Freedom Before Deriding on Oe
on pat ion—lone of Her Relatives
Met Her at Train.
Without friend or relative to meet
her. Mamie DeCris. The Diamond
Queen, who v'as pardoned from the
■tate farm at MiHedgeville, two days
before her sentence expired, arrived in
Savannah over the Central last night
at 7:10 o'clock.
There was nothing about the modest
ly attired -woman who stepped from the
train to In any way suggest the Dia
mond Queen, whose escapades were
heralded from one end of the country
to the other.
One would never have supposed that
the neat traveling suit worn had only
the same morning taken the place of
the prison stripes. And there was
something in the modest bearing of
the woman herself, which would or
dinarily Have precluded the thought of
diamond thieves, convict garbs or the
lash of the prison boss.
Thankful for Liberty.
"Yes, I am glad to be out again and
glad to get back to Savannah,” said
the Diamond Queen. "I appreciate
very much the efforts that were made
to get me a pardon. I feel thankful
to the Prison Commissioners and the
Governor and to every one who had
anything to do with getting me out.”
She looked worn and tired, which
fact may have been due to her trip
on the train. She .complained of the
trip and said traveling always fatigued
her. For the last several months she
says she has had a very easy time
at the farm and has nothing but
praise for the present warden and his
family.
Left Prison Life Behind.
When asked about the whipping
which Warden Allgood administered
to her, she refused to talk on the sub
ject. Indeed, she declined to talk
about any phase of her prison life, ex
cept to say she appreciated the kind
ness, which had been shown her.
"When I left the farm at Milledge
vllie this morning.” she said, ”1 left
my prison life behind, and I don’t
care to discuss it. It is better that it
be passed over as quietly as possible.
It is ended now and I wish to forget
It. I have obtained enough notoriety
end 1 think the least said about my
prison life the better.”
At the train there were not more
than half a dozen persons who recog
nized Miss DeCris. She had expected
some of her relatives, and seemed dis
appointed that none of them appeared.
She first started out of the side en
trance of the station, but thought per
haps someone was waiting at the
front to meet her and went that way.
She stopped in the ladies’ waiting room
e few minutes, while a satchel which
she had checked was being obtained.
She then took a cab and drove to Hab
ersham and Liberty streets, where she
took a trolley ear for Thunderbolt,
yrhere her family resides.
"Oh, it I Mmie!”
Reaching the humble cottage at
Thunderbolt, not a light shone In tlie
home that had once been her's. For
a time she was afraid the family had
moved away and she was visibly af
fected. Knocking on the door, there
was a response apparently from the
rear of the house.
"It’s Mamie," shouted the woman.
“Oh. it’s Mamie!” chorused the
brothers and sisters of the returning
woman.
Within a few minutes the door was
opened and one after another of the
family, sister, brother and mother,
were embracing her. The failure to
appear at the train had not been
caused by any loss of affection for the
prodigal daughter.
Pure Air of Freedom.
The woman said she had not decided
on her future occupation. She wanted
to think the matter over carefully be
fore arriving at any decision, she said.
Whatever she decided to do, however,
she said she intended to go at in
such a way as to retain the confidence
and friendship of those who had aided
her while she was in prison.
“I wish to breathe the pure air of
freedom for a while before making up
my mind,” she said. “I have thought
of a great many things, but have
come to no conclusion. Since I have
been at the farm I have met a great
many prominent people from all over
the state, who have befriended me,
and whatever I do I must keep their
good will and respect.”
Stage Newspaper Talk.
“That was simply newspaper talk.”
■he said when asked about the re
port that she was going on the stage.
’'As I tell you, I have not decided
what I am going to do, and 1 won't
until I have had a chance to think
quietly by myself.
“I want to do something that will
■how those who have been kind to me
that Xam leading anew life. As soon
as I decide on what it is. I want
•verybody In Georgia to kn-ow it. I
must never again cause myself to bow
my head in shame. I have had too
many good friends. I only want to
take up some useful occupation and
quietly pursue It.”
Write a Bonk.
When asked if she were likely to
write an account of her life at the
prison farm, she said she had been ad
vised to do so by several lawyers, but
bad not made up her mind.
No plans for the future will be
formed for several days. She desires
to rest at home and get a taste of
freedom before even thinking of going
at work at anything. She will probably
remain in Savannah for some time.
She expressed her pleasure at being
able to return here and Intimated that
ahe Intended to make this her home.
She had a very quiet trip. No one
on the train knew who she was after
ahe transferred to the regular Atlanta
trnin at Gordon. She stopped for din
ner with the other passengers at the
regular "dinner house.” Even when
she left Mllledgevllle there were only
a few persons present who knew her.
Uulet Trip Home.
She was driven to the station by one
of the attendants at the farm and was
Joined there later bv Supt. Coombes
and Capt. Williams. She purchased her
ticket herself, having been furnished
-with the money by the prison authori
ties. On the train she was not recog
nised.
As eoon as she reached the station
here there wore several persons who
knew her, but most of them were olll
* • and said nothing about seeing her.
She recognised several of the Savan
nah people In the crowd and asked
after leaving the stetlon If she was
correct. One if the parlies whom she
remembered she had never seen but
onue before m her ill*. ,
GEN. BARRY REFUSED
TO VISIT HUSSARS.
Kept Himself Secluded From Geor
gia Slate Troops.
Gen. Thomas H. Barry, who spent
an hour or two In the city on Friday
night, postively declined an invitation
to visit the Hussars Club. He also de
clined to go to the rooms of the Sa
vannah Volunteer Guards or to the
First Regiment Armory.
The invitation was extended to him
by some of the regular army officers
who were in the city with him, and to
whom the courtesy of the use of the
club rooms for themselves and their
friends have been extended by the
Hussars. Several of these officers
wished to show him through the club
rooms and through the two armories,
but the officer declined to go. As far
as could be learned the only reason
offered was he did not think such a
course would be proper.
Regular army officers who wore seen
yesterday and asked about the mat
ter declined to discuss the officer's ac
tion, answering all questions with a
laugh. It is generally understood,
however, and this opinion was openly
expressed by those who are not bound
down by the strict rules of the regu
lars, that the declination was due to
the recent criticism, for which it is
generally conceded there was no just
cause, that Gen. Barry offered on the
Georgia troops at Manassas.
It is generally regretted by military
men here that an officer of such high
position should carry petty spite to
such extremes. During his visit it was
almost impossible for any but the reg
ular army officers to get near Gen.
Barry, or to engage him in conversa
tion.
The impression made was anything
but a pleasant one in Savannah and
the general apparently failed to en
gender in the citizens and state sol
diery that same degree of respect and
esteem which they feel for the other
regular army officers who are station
ed here and at Fort Screven and for
those who have visited the post at
Fort Screven from time to time.
COUNTRY JUSTICES
HAVE JUST COMPLAINT.
Former Jnstiee of Peace Tells ot
Fees Received.
The announcement that the country
Justices of the peace had petitioned
the grand jury to Increase their fees
was read with interest in Savannah
yesterday.
Those who are well’acquainted with
the laws regulating their fees, seem
to think they have good grounds for
complaint, and expressed the hope that
their fees would be made equal to
those in the city.
By the act of 1874 the fees of the city
justices are made the same as those
of the officers of the Superior Court,
who serve similar papers. This ap
plies also to the constables of the jus
tices. The country justices and their
constables receive the fees designated
in the code. There is a slight differ
ence in nearly every case, and the ag
gregate makes an appreciable sum. As
the work is the same in both cases,
harder if anything for the country
Justices, there is a feeling that they
should at least receive equal pay.
RECEIVER IS NAMED
FOR EMPIRE COMPANY.
Judge Speer Appoints Mr. George S.
Haines as Receiver.
By an order of Judge Emory Speer,
Mr. George S. Haines has been ap
pointed receiver for the Empire Dredg
ing Company, of West Virginia.
The trouble arose over $4,500 in cash,
now in the hands of the P. Sanford
Ross company. Suits and counter
suits and interpleaders had been filed
in the City Court and In the Superior
Court, and the ease was becoming con
siderably Involved. Recently Attor
neys W. B. Stubbs, and Wilson &
Rogers, on behalf of W. W. Aimar &
Cos., appealed to Judge Speer for the
appointment of a receiver.
The appointment was asked on the
grounds that the case first came be
fore the United States courts, that that
court had full jurisdiction, that all the
moneys and properties of the company
had not been taken charge of, and
that such action would do away with
a multiplicity of suits. The court
granted the petition and restrains the
Ross company from paying out any
of the $4,500 to anyone, but Receiver
Halnes.
LAVINIA SEIGLING
WILL APPEAL CASE.
H. A. Macbeth, on behalf of Lavinia
Seigling, yesterday filed an appeal In
the Court of Ordinary from the decis
ion of Judge McAlpin, in granting the
homestead application of Ruth V. Lo
gan.
With the appeal was filed a pauper
affidavit. The case is of interest ow
ing to the fact that Lavinia Seigling
is the woman who was so severely lec
tured by Judge McAlpin for writing
a letter attempting to enlist his sym
pathies on her side of the case. An
account of the hearing was given at
the time in the Morning News.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1904.
BRYAN PARDONED
AND RELEASED
SERVED 46 DAYS SENTENCE.
RELEASED ON TELEGRAM FROM
SECRETARY GOODLOE YANCY.
Pardon Was Unexpected, As It Wn
Understood Board Had Turned It
Do vn—llelleved That Charles
Odell Will Return and Scrk n Par
don Also—Bryan Was Glad to
Leave Prison.
After forty-six days' confinement in
the county jail, Gad D. Bryan. Jr.,
was pardoned yesterday by the Gov
ernor on recommendation of the Par
don Board, and at 9 o'clock last night
he walked from the Jail portals a free
man.
To no one was the surprise greater
than to Bryan himself, as he had al
most given up hope of getting out un
der the three months which he was
sentenced to serve. His first words on
being told that the Governor had sign
ed his pardon were: "Thank God! I
am certainly grateful to all who have
assisted me, and to those who have
taken any Interest In me.”
Bryan commenced serving his three
months’ Jail sentence on Oct. 4. and
since that time numerous appeals have
been marie to the Pardon Board in his
behalf. His attorneys, Col. Robert L.
Colding, D. C. Barrow. Esq., and E. H.
Abrahams, made visits to Atlanta and
appeared before the board with peti
tions signed by a large number of Sa
vannah citizens, but it was thought
the opposition to a pardon would de
feat the efforts of the petitioners.
Next to his being deprived of his
liberty, his greatest punishment was
the deprivation of any liquid refresh
ments of an intoxicating nature. Bry
an had daily callers, who kept him
posted of ail occurrences not chronicled
in the nervpapers, and he was furnish
ed with all the latest literature. He
spent most of his time reading.
Wanted Freedom at Once.
As soon as it was known here that
the Governor had signed his pardon
Bryan at once went to work to have
it take effect immediately. Telegrams
were sent to Atlanta and shortly aft
er 8 o’clock the following message was
received:
"Sheriff Chatham County: Have
mailed order pardoning Gad Bryan.
Safe to release him immediately. Hope
you will do so. (Signed)
“Goodloe Yancy, Secretary.”
On this telegram from the secretary
of the Prtrdon Board, Sheriff Schwarz
gave orders that Bryan be released.
Just before the doors were unlocked a
long distance telephone message was
received from Gen. Clement A. Evans,
president of the Pardon Board, stat
ing that the pardon had been forward
ed and that it was perfectly safe to
release Bryan.
Held a Reception.
As soon as he had been notified to
get ready to leave Bryan said he didn’t
have any getting ready to do, but
would wait until later to get his be
longings.
He went at once to his place of busi
ness on Brvan street, where he was
soon surrounded by his friends, and
an informal reception was held, at
which he thanked all of his friends
for their kindnesses to him during his
confinement.
Since the pardon board has estab
lished a precedent by recommending
the pardoning of Bryan it is believed
Charles O’Dell, who is also under sen
tence, but who is at present out of the
state, will surrender himself and seek
to have a pardon granted as in the
case of Bryan.
Odell May Rrtnrn.
It was rumored some time ago that
O’Dell had written friends here that
he intended returning and serving his
sentence, but when it was announced
that a pardon had been refused to
Bryan, O’Dell did not put in an ap
pearance.
Bryan's indictment and sentence
grew out of the shooting at Bryan’s
place of business in July a year ago,
in which James Doss was shot in the
hand, Nat Evans was shot in the left
chest and Bryan was shot twice in the
hip.
BLEACHER PERMIT WILL
BE SECURED MONDAY.
A meeting between Manager Mcln
tire of the Savannah Athletic Associa
tion and Building Inspector Bartlett
will be held at the Bolton Street Park
Monday morning, at which time the
inspector will order whatever changes
he thinks necessary in the construction
of the bleachers for the football games.
It is probable that the stands will be
moved closer to the side lines, so that
those seated in them can have an un
interrupted view of every play.
POSTPONEMENTGRANTED
GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY.
The testimony of the plaintiff in the
case of A. H. Heyward against the
United States was concluded before
Special Commissioner George C. Hey
ward yesterday. On request the gov
ernment was granted a postponement
until the latter part of the month, to
allow the special attorney who has
charge of its Interests to get up some
needed testimony.
KILLED EIGHT DKI'.H.
A hunting party of six returned
from Ossabaw Island with eight deer
yesterday after two days of as fine
sport as could have been wished for.
Those in the party were Police Ser
geant Baughn and his son, Joseph
Baughn, E. K. Demmond, Kaiford
Falligant, and Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
Bostick. Mrs. Bostick killed one of
the deer. Sergt. Baughn killed two,
Mr. Bostick two. Mr. Falligant two,
and Mr. Demmond one.

LEMON PIE CAUSED
CUTTING AND SHOOTING.
Negro Stabbed Greek and Another
Greek Shot the Negro.
Because of a dispute over a lemon
pie there was a serious cutting and
shooting affray on Bryan street, west,
at a late hour last night, and two
men are seriously wounded, one stab
bed in the back and the other shot In
the thigh.
Venis Bryant, a negro, cut Nick Pa
nos, a Greek, in the back and Peter
Gesson, a cousin of the Greek, shot
the negro In the thigh with a load of
bird shot. The shot was at close range,
and the negro's thigh is badly torn.
Panos was cut about two inches deep,
but will recover.
Bryant, the negro, went into the
store, at No. 602 Bryan street, west,
and asked for a lemon pie. Panos
waited on him and gave him a pie
that the negro contended was not
lemon. There was a dispute, and the
negro, after cursing the Greek, attack
ed him with a knife and cut him in
the back. Bryant then attempted to
escape, but Gesson grabbed a shotgun
and fired just as he was going through
the door.
The police ambulance was called and
detectives hurried to the scene. Bryant
was carried to his home. No. 559 Pine
street, and Gesson was placed under
arrest and carried to the police station.
Panos received medical attention at the
store. Both of the wounded men will
recover, it is thought.
JUNG LING ANXIOUS
FOR CHINKLAND HOME.
Will Be Started on His Journey Next
Saturday Night.
Jung Ling, the almond-eyed who has
been domiciled for the last six weeks
in the Chatham county jail awaiting
deportation, is anxious to get back to
the land whence he came.
He has developed a great longing for
the land of mandarin, the pipe-hitters,
the Empress Dowager, and he is wild
to see a book wherein you read up and
dpwn instead of across the pages. So
great is his longing that he has asked
his attorneys, Messrs. Abrahams &
Rourke, to hurry things up, and they
have.
Judge Speer has written several let
ters in the case and at last the gov
ernment is ready to pay the freight
on the washee-washee. Besides Jung,
who longs so ardently for Chefoo and
Shanghai, there will be a slant-eyed
comrade from Macon and two from Au
gusta in the deportation party. The
Celestials will be sent to Norfolk. Va.,
and thence shipped to China. Uncle
Sam will pay the freight.
Jung and the others now regret they
slipped into this country, for they
missed much excitement in the Far
East. Instead of doing rapid-change
stunts In the matter of names and in
the trading of chat-chis —the Chink
way of saying certificate—they could
have been aiding either the Japanese
or the Russians, incidently themselves,
in the free-for-all life of a Chinese
bandit. Then they will all have beau
tiful names that take up an entire
page of print, and the heavy iron and
the gleaming shirt front will be for
gotten in the delights of fan-tan and
the dreams that come from the pipe.
FIRST DISTRICT WILL
MEET WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Other Clnhs Will Have Second Meet
ings in Near Fntnre.
A meeting of the First District Ad
ministration Club has been called for
Wednesday night, at the hall of the
Salvation Army on West Broad street.
This will be the first meeting of the
campaign held in the First, and a large
attendance Is expected.
The First will follow in line with the
Fourth and South Side in demanding
improvements for the section repre
sented. The paving of West Broad
street to Bay street and the improve
ment of the squares in the district
will be asked.
During the last municipal race there
were sorpe lively meetings held in this
district and interest will again be
aroused, it is thought. There has been
some talk of reorganizing the club in
the Second district, but as there is
no opposition it is not thought this
will bo done.
The South Side will hold meetings
every Friday night from now until the
Mayor’s election in January, and the
Fourth will also meet at regular in
tervals. Considering the fact that
there Is no opposition to the present
administration, a great deal more in
terest than is usual has already been
shown in the campaign.
MAYOR MYERS ISSUES
ANNUAL PROCLAMATION.
Mayor Myers yesterday issued his
Thahksgiving proclamation, calling
upon the people of Savannah to ob
serve the national holiday.
The city has much to be thankful
for, Mayor Myers says. Improvements
have been made or inaugurated this
year far surpassing the record of any
previous year.
Not only will the municipal offices,
but the United States and county of
fices as well, will be closed on Thanks
giving. The Mayor says he hopes to
see the day generally observed here.
TWENTY EXAMMED FOR
CLERKS AND CARRIERS.
Twenty applicants for positions as
clerks-and carriers stood examinations

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS
ARE HARD TO FIND.
Poultry la Scarce and Price* Are
Higher Than Last Year.
"Keep on struttin’ Mister Turkey,
you ain’t know what time it Is.”
With a substantial advance in
prices and the supply not equal to
the demand, the regulation Thanks
giving dinner of turkey and cranber
ry sauce will be missing from a great
many tables on Thursday.
Prices have soared skyward and the
dealers say they will be unable to fill
the orders of all their customers. One
grocer accounted for the scarcity by
saying the farmers had devoted all of
their time to ootton and overlooked
the “bird that made Thanksgiving fa
mous.”
When it became known that tur
keys would cost more than they did
a year ago many determined to go in
for chickens, ducks or even quail. But
all along the line there has been a
strong advance in prices with a lim
ited supply. Dressed chickens sold
yesterday for 18 and 20 cents a
pound. Dressed turkeys were sold at
25 cents a pound, or about 3 cents
higher than last season’s figures. A
great deal of the poultry in the Sa
vannah market comes from Tennes
see and that state reports a shortage
in fowls as well as eggs.
ORIGINAL DRAWINGS

Representatives of the Newspaper
Artists’ Association and Book and
Magazine Illustrators’ Society arrived

exhibition will be in the banquet hall
which has been placed at the disposal

nal art will be a 'noteworthy one and
is sure to attract great Interest. It will
be an opportunity out of the ordinary
for a glimpse at some famous sketches
by artists having an International rep
utation.

Tb Pint Question People A*k
When a man dies. Is, hcrw much life
Insurance did he have? This question
is the natural interest that is mani
fested in the welfare of the bereaved
family. Would It not be well for you
to ask yourself this question: Have
you enough life insurance? if not, is
it not your duty to attend to the
matter without further delay? Thou
sands of men accounted good finan
ciers are kept afloat by their ability
and energy—that is, the stream of
money coming in is kept equal to that
going out. While the man lives this is
well; but at his death the power that
drives the machinery is stopped, the
supply is cut off and all demands are
presented for payment—often for pro
test—and the wife and children must
take what is left. A policy of life in
surance in the Massachusetts Mutual
takes care of them as no other provi
sion can. With such a policy a man is
absolutely certain that at his death
his family is provided for, and in the
event of a contingency—inability to
longer continue—his every equity is
secured to him under the beneficent
laws of the commonwealth of Massa
chusetts. These policies guarantee to
every policy-holder of a Massachusetts
company either a cash settlement or
a paid-up insurance, in addition to
which the law secures him his divi
dends each year. It is to your interest
to examine into the plans of the Mas
sachusetts Mutual before entering in
to a contract for life insurance. It is
the leading Massachusetts company
and pays good dividends to policy
holders. It will cost you nothing for
information, a specimen policy and an
extract of the insurance laws of Mas
sachusetts will be sent you on appli
cation. Address Harty & Apple, man
agers for Georgia and South Carolina,
