Ednarils, Conaln ot 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 ly, with the cry ‘l’ll kill you yet, you.’ He again fired at the boy but missed him. Stumped HU Lite Out. “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 tempted to raise the revolver and fire, 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 im to attack Eugene he had run 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 creased when It was learned that the negro had come from Bulloch county, and when Mr. M. J. Greene stated he had been Implicated in the Hodges tragedy. Wanted to Horn Hotly. ’The cry went up to burn the body. Then my father, Mr. T.

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.

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.

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. THANKSGIVING DAY TO BE GENERALLY OBSERVED.

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.
