Murdered Sian—Won In Daisy at
Time—Bravery of Young Enarene
Edwards, Who Avenged Father's
Murder-Wlitten Wanted to Burn
Body.
Mr. Charles G. Edwards, of Travis &
Edwards, returned to Savannah yes
terday morning from Daisy, the
scene of the tragedy which end
ed in the death of Mr. Edwards’ first
cousin. Mr. A. Joseph Edwards. Sev
eral details were brought out that have
not been contained in the Morning
News dispatches and Mr. Edwards
says the people of the county are in a
turmoil.
"During 'the afternoon,” said Mr. Ed
wards. "I plead a case before a jury
on which my cousin, Joseph Edwards,
sat. After the session of the court he
and his son Coy left for their home, a
plantation a short distance from Daisy.
As they drove up the roadway to the
house they noticed a wagon, to which
two mules were hitched, drive to ttie
home of a negro, Charlie Davis, who
had gone there from Bulloch county as
a cotton picker.
"At the suggestion of Mr. Edwards,
he and his son Coy walked down to the
house to see what was going on. They
called for the negro and he came out,
a large 44-calibre revolver buckled
about his waist. In response to a
question he stated he was going to
move away and he wouldn't pay a cent
of the money he owed my cousin.
"My cousin then spoke to him about
the revolver and told him he did not
like to have his help going about the
plantation carrying such deadly weap
ons. Without another word the negro
drew the revolver and fired into my
cousin, the bullet entering the right
side of the body, passing through, and
lodging under the skin on the left side.
Without a word the unfortunate man
fell to the ground and died an instant
later.
Searched Father’* Corpse.
“Then came one of the most horrible
features of the terrible tragedy, in
an instant Davis turned the heavy re
volver on young Coy and ordered him
to empty his pockets. This he did,
throwing three or four silver dollars
and some odd change on the ground at
the negro’s feet. The boy, like his fath
er, was unarmed, and even had an
opportunity been given him, he could
have made no reals Vance.
"Not content with his work, the
black fiend then ordered the poor boy
to search his father's body and turn
over the money. With the revolver
in his face, the helpless young man
bent and turned over the dead body
of his father and went through the
pockets. He found nothing and this
enraged the negro to such ’an extent,
that he began beating the boy over
the head and face with the butt of
the weapon.
la llnel to the Death.
“Mrs. Edwards, standing in her
home about a quarter of a mile dis
tant, had seen the trouble and heard
the shot. As she started out for help
she met another son, a boy just com
ing of age, Eugene, who was return
ing from a hunt. When told of the
trouble the boy started down toward
the negro's home to aid his father and
brother.
"The negro saw him coming and at
once started up the lane to meet him.
He struck Coy Edwards twice more
over the head, exclaiming ,
‘we’re all going to die together.’ Then
he rushed toward the advancing Eu
gene. and as soon as he came within
range he began firing.
“The boy replied with his shot
gun, loaded with small shot as it was.
and the first shot wounded the negro
in the breast. He staggered slightly
and then with an oath, advanced.
Again the boy fired but this time he
missed him. In the meantime the
negro had emptied his revolver and
was stopping to reload.
Shelter of the Wagon.
“In order to be protected while he
re-loaded hie shotgun, young Kugene
stepped behind a wagon that was In
the driveway and the negro rushed
to the heads of the horses. The negro
reloaded first and began firing. One
bullet struck in the side of the wagon
and threw a shower of splinters into
the boy’s face, but he stuck to his
work, though painfully wounded.
“Twice he fired at the negro, but
could not hit him, and again the dead
ly fire of the 44 began. Finally the
boy knelt on the ground to load again
and the negro stooped and began fir
ing under the wagon. The horses were
becoming frantic and the entire scene
was one of turmoil.
“The boy rose and fired again. This
time the shot struck the negro in the
face, part of the charge entering the
Jaw and face of the horse near which
he stood. Wild with rage he then
stepped from cover and attacked open

you.’ He again fired at the boy but
missed him.

“They hoy then fired again, and this
time with good effect. The negro reeled
back against the fence, and the boy
rushed at him. loading as he ran. As
he approached the negro again at

but before he could pull the trigger,
Eugene emptied both 'barrels into his
head. ,
“With a groan the negro sank to
the ground, and then the boy caught
sight of the bleeding corpse of his
father. His brother, Coy, was nowhere
to be found, and, wild with grief, Ku
gene Jumped upon the negro and liter
ally stamped out what life remained in
the black fiend.
White Men Are Frensled.
“Shortly after Coy returned with a
Sun. When the negro had uncovered

to a house about half a mile distant
and asked for a gun. He found none
but did secure a mule and on this
rode to another house, secured a
weapon, and lode back to the scene
of the tragedy, but too late to be of
any assistance.
‘The nows spread like wildfire, and
men came rushing to the Edwards
home from all parts of the county.
By nightfall there were fully 600
armed men on the scene and all crying
for vengeance. This feeling was In

negro had come from Bulloch county,

CAPT. GORDON RESIGNS,
BUT HIS MEN SAY NO.
Fre*nre Will Be Brought to Bear
on Commander of Hu**arn.
Although Capt. W. W. Gordon, Jr.,
has tendered his resignation as com
mander of the Georgia Hussars every
effort is going to be made by the mem
bers of the troopt to have him re
consider his action.
The resignation was sent to the troop
several days ago by Capt. Gordon and
since then the members have talked
among themselves and determined to
bring every pressure to bear on the
popular commander, with an idea of
getting him to withdraw his resigna
tion. The troopers say he is too good
an officer to lose.
A committee will call upon, Capt.
Gordon and endeavor to induce him
to remain with the command he has
done so much to bring to the high
state of efficiency it now enjoys. The
members of the troop admire him not
only as an officer, but as a man, and
are loath to part with him. They say
they realize their commander has made
personal sacrifices for the troop and
they are going to ask him to make an
other sacrifice by remaining.
Capt. Gordon was named as com
mander of the troop in February, 1902,
and did much to make the Georgia Hus
sars what they are to-day. He stat
ed last night that a pressure of busi
ness prompted him to send in his res
ignation.
ARMED WITH KNIVES
WOMEN FOUGHT IT OUT.
Oof of Five Engaged In llow One
Officer Got Four.
A free for all fight and cutting scrape
in Jones' field in the eastern section of
the city, caused considerable excite
ment and attracted a great deal of at
tention yesterday afternoon. Five ne
gro women were engaged in the diffi
culty and all of them are thoiught to
have been more or less hurt.
Just how the fight started the police
are unable to say, but when once
under wav there were five women en
gaged in it, each with a knife of some
kind. They shushed at each other until
Patrolman Bciber appeared on the
scene, and then they all tried to get
away. The officer rounded up four of
the five, however, and carried them to
the police station.
The four arrested were Ella Jones,
Susie Eaddy, Francis Sherman and Ja
nie Pitts. The name of the woman
who escaped is not known to the po
lice. Of the four arrested, only one
was seriously injured. The Jones wom
an had been badly cut. Dr. Walter
Norton was summoned and he found
it necessary to take several stitches in
her left arm.

Club will be held to-night for the pur
pose of selecting a committee, which Is
to take up with City Council and the
County Commissioners the plan to
have the Georgia Infirmary moved
from the present location on Abercorn

NIGHT WORK NOW
FOR CITY HALL
Building lllnie of Glory While Oil
Wuh Being Tested.
A test of anew system of lights is
being made at the City Hall building,
as a great deal of night work is con
templated for the near future.
The system being tried is not new so
far as the lights themselves are con
cerned, but it is new in the sense that
It has not before been used on this
particular building. An Illuminating
oil is being tried, which appears to be
better than the usual lights that are
used when night work is desired.
There is quite a lot of steel work
which can be done at night to advant
age, and the oil lights will probably
be used a great deal during the next
few weeks. The steel work, of course,
has to be kept considerably in advance
of the masonry, and so long as night
work is necessary to do this, the lights
will be employed.
ONE FIREMAN PRESENT ,
AT HEBREW SCHOOL FIRE.
The statement In yesterday’s Morn
ing News that the firemen did not re
spond to the call of fire in the base
ment of the Hebrew school Saturday
night may have conveyed an erroneous
impression. The firemen were not
asked to go to the fire.
A telephone message was sent to
headquarters to send a man there and
this was done, the message being re
peated to Chemical No. 1. The fire did
not gain sufficient headway to make
the call for the apparatus necessary.
Only the furniture in the basement
was damaged. With the thick brick
walls there was very little chance for
the fire to spread to the upper stories
and damage the school.
LENGTHEN SWITCH THIS WEEK.
Work of lengthening the St. Julian
street switch of the Savannah Electric
Company will be commenced this week,
which will be a source of general re
lief to those who have been incon
venienced by the extension of parcel
cara across the Whitaker street cross
ing. The siding will be lengthened thir
ty feet, which will be ample room
for the three cars which are run in
the parcel oar train for the resorts.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. NOVEMBER 21. 1901.
WHITE BOY SHOT
MAN AND A BOY
IN MINIATURE RACE WAR.
HILTON BRAV\K\ USED SHOT GIN
ON NEGRO ADVERSARIES.
Shooting Wat the Outcome of a
Hock Battle, Which the Negroes
in Overwhelming Number* Had
Precipitated—Neither the Man Nor
the Boy Wn* Seriously Hurt,
Though the Boy Wn* Struck in the
Face by a Number of Small Shot,
In a miniature race war on Alice
street early yesterday afternoon,Milton
llrannen, a white boy 13 years of age,
wounded James Dwight, a negro about
the same age, and Mack Thompson,
a negro man.
Neither of the wounded persons is
seriously hurt, though the boy is very
painfully wounded. The shooting was
the outcome of a “rock battle,” which
the negroes are alleged to have start
ed. Three white boys were arraigned
against a dozen or more negroes, and
Milton went for a gun and used it
with good effect.
The nerve of the boy after the
shooting was remarkable. He did not
appear to be the least bit worried and
answered all questions as well as a
matured man could have done. Ac
cording to the boy’s story, which is
substantiated by numerous reputable
witnesses, the negroes made the at
tack with rocks and he merely de
fended himself and his companions.
Shot in the Face.
James Dwight, the boy who was shot,
was peppered all over the face. Some
eight or ten shot entered the face and
head, and he was painfully hurt. Mack
Thompson, the man who was shot, had
nothing to do with the row which led
to the shooting. He happened to be
passing at the time, and was struck
in the back with one of the shot. The
wound did not even inconvenience him,
though it was painful for a time. The
boy suffered considerable pain.
According to the story told by young
Brannen, which is substantiated by
witnesses, he and John Peters and
Jeyie Mason, two boys about his age,
were playing leap frog in front of
young Brannen's home, No. 412 Alice
street. At Alice and Montgomery there
were a number of negroes, and some
of these began to throw stones at the
white boys.
The white boys retreated, and Mil
ton ran into the house. He picked
up a single.-barrel shotgun, which was
loaded, and returned to the stoop of
the house. The negro boys were still
throwing rocks, he says, and they
shouted at him to shoot when he ap
peared with the gun.
“They yelled ‘shoot,’ and I shot,”
said Milton at the police station, after
the affray was over. “They began
throwing rocks at us first, and kept on
after I got inside the house. When
they said shoot, I shot.”
Milton, though small for his age, is
a manly little fellow. According to
the story he tells, the difficulty was
forced upon him.
Defending III* Home.
Milton says while he was inside the
house, looking for the gun rocks were
thrown against the stoop and front
of the house. When he came outside,
he says, the negroes were grouped
on the opposite side of the street.
When they saw the gun, they ran for
cover and yelled, "Shoot.”
“I shot and they all ran,” continued
Milton. “I stayed right there. Mr.
Christie, the bicycle officer, came up
and afterwards some detective, who
I don’t know.”
The detective referred to was De
tective Bostick. He took the case in
charge and sent Milton to the police
station. After a brief confinement
there, S. L. Todd, the boy’s stepfather
gave bond for him and he was re
leased. He will be tried in Police Court
this morning.
Johnnie Peters and Jeyie Mason, the
two boys who were playing with Mil
ton, when the trouble started, will be
witnesses. Mrs. Maud Richardson also
witnessed the affair, as did Mrs. VV
E. Douglass. Both of these have been
summoned for the hearing.

BENEFITS RESORTS.
Crowd* in Evidence at Isle of Hope
and Thunderbolt.
The pleasant weather of the last few
weeks has been of distinct benefit to
the resorts about Savannah. Mercury,
with the exception of one or two days,
has hovered constantly between 60 and
70 degrees in the afternoon, and this
has brought out the crowds. The early
morning hours have been very cool and
the nights have been cool, but the
afternoons have been warm and pleas
ant. Practically every day has been
bright, and this hias served to bring
out the crowds.
This effect was particularly in evi
dence yesterday. At Thunderbolt there
was a large crowd during the entire
afternoon, the Casino being the chief
attraction. Crowds sat about the large
verandas and little groups gathered in
the dining room to enjoy one of the
Casino suppers. Many remained until
far after nightfall, though the drop
in temperature that came with the
sunset sent the majority back to their
homes in the city.
Isle of Hope also had a large at
tendance. Tybee, of course, had few
visitors, barring those ivho are still
looking upon that report as their sum
mer home. The closing of Hotel Ty
bee and the close of the surf-bathing
season have worked somewhat against
this resort, and yet, despite these facts,
a number went there yesterday. The
mild weather is unusual for this time
of year, and Savannahians are taking
advantage of it, pa the delight of the
owners of the resorts.
CITY WILL INVESTIGATE
PRORATING OF TAXES.
If Controller I* Right .Savannah
Will Get Oulte a Sum.
Mr. J. H. H. Osborne, the chairman
of the City Board of Tax Assessors, will
to-day make an investigation to see if
the position taken >by the Controller
General of the state in regard to the
taxes on the bonds held by the Central
Railroad is correct. Savannah may ob
tain a large sum of money in back
taxes if the controller is correct. Mr.
Osborne, the chairman of the city as
sessors, says he will look into the mat
ter at once.
According to the opinion of the Con
troller General, besides the state only
Chatham county and the city of Sa
vannah are entitled to taxes on the
Western of Alabama Railway stock,
which the Central holds. The con
troller refers to a decision of the Su
preme Court to support his opinion.
The city officials here, of course, hope
he is correct, although they had not
raised the point and thought the taxes
were going to be prorated along the
whole line of the Central. It will mean
a large sum of money to the city, if
the controller’s opinion is correct. Mr.
Osborne, the chairman of the city as
sessors. was of the opinion that Sa
vannah would receive only a small
amount. He will, however, look up the
law on the matter.
WITH BUNDLE OF FILMS
ASSISTANT WENT AWAY.
J. V. Snow, a colored man who
travels over the country depicting the
“Passion Play” by means of
moving pictures, is stranded in
Savannah because, he alleges, his
assistant, a white man, de
camped Saturda* night with over
400 films. Snow told his tale of hard
luck to Detectives Murphy and Stark.
Snow claims his assistant is a na
tive of Virginia and that he is wanted
in that state for several transgres
sions. Snow left his property in the
possession of a druggist, and his as
sistant is alleged to have prevailed up
on the druggist to let him have the
films. He has not been seen since. A
very good description of the man was
furnished the officers.

Will Be Dieclosed To-night.
To-morrow night will be the closing
night of the Hibernian bazaar now
being held in the Catholic Library Hall.
All contests and awards will be de

Goods left on hand to-morrow night
will be disposed of at auction. This
afternoon and evening special awards
will be arranged for the ladies and
children. The identity of the “Queen
of Killarney” will be revealed to-night
and any persons desiring to test her
marvelous powers should attend.
Many of the prominent city officials
and business men of the city have sig
nified their intention of being present
at the bazaar to-night. The members
of the Irish-American Friendly Society
will attend in a body. A good crowd
is assured for the remaining two
nigths.
SPENT QUIET'sVnDAY
AT THUNDERBOLT HOME.
Mamie DeCris, the Diamond Queen,
who arrived in Savannah Saturday
night, spent yesterday at the home of
her family in Thunderbolt. She did
not feel well during the morning, and
did not get up until afternoon.
It will probably be a week or more
before she decides what she intends
to do. “Whatever I do, I want it
known just what I am doing," she says,
“but I have not made up my mind yet.
When I do I will let it be known. I
felt unwell to-day and have been in
bed most of the day. I have not even
considered the matter to-day.”

GIRL USED HER TEETH
IN OFFICER’S PRESENCE.
Fastened Them in the Arm of Com
plainant, and White Girl, Too.
Without warning, and while stand
ing at the Gamewell box on Brough
ton and West Broad streets last night,
in the custody of Patrolman Tim Mc-
Alpin, waiting for the arrival of the
patrol wagon, a young white girl
jumped on the complaining witness
and bit him badly on the army.
The girl and a companion, neither
over 16 years of age, went to the po
lice station in the patrol wagon, but
were not locked up. They were served
with subpoenas, one as a witness and
one as a defendant, to appear before
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning. One of the girls is charged
with using profane language to the
wife of the prosecutor as well as with
attacking the witness at the Game
well box.
It was alleged that one of the girls
had pushed down a son of the com
plaining witness on River street, and
when the mother interfered cursed her
in a fashion that would have done
credit to one much older. It was after
this scene that the father of the child
who is alleged to have been pushed
over, got into the game and called in
the services of Patrolman McAlpin.
The arrest and the trouble at the
Gamewell box occasioned a great
deal of excitement.

Bros., Savannah, Ga.: Gentlemen—l
have tried your P. P. P. for a disease
of the skin usually known as skin
cancer of thirty years’ standing, and
found great relief; it purifies the blood
and removes all irritation from the

spreading of the sores.
I have taken five or six bottles and
feel confident that another course will
effect a cure.
It has also relieved me from indi
gestion and stomach trouble. Yours
truly. Capt. W. M. Rust, attorney at
