Cherry is Released on Bond
MRS.ETHEL JONES SAYS THAT
SHE DOESN'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS
Young Woman Declares That Much That Has Been Written
About Her Untrue---Officer Says Both Cherry and Hus
band Much in Love With Her.
John C. Cherry, of 506 Lincoln
street, wanted here by his employer.
Mr. Fred Gehrken, wholesale grocer,
for larceny after trust, was Drought
hack Tuesday evening from Tampa,
•’’la., in the custody of Deputy Sheriff
Ira Whittle, of this city, who was
sent for him Saturday night. Mrs.
Lthel Jones, of 1310 Twiggs street, the
16-year-old wife of J. V. Jones, a lo
cal bicycle repairer, who was arrest
ed in Tampa with Cherry, was also
brought I lack by the deputy.
Both to Jail.
Cherry and Mrs. Jones were im
mediately taken to the Richmond
county jail after the arrival of the
Central of Georgia train from Sac
\ annali at 7:40 o’clock. The officer
and his two prisoners left the train
before reaching the l T nl*n Station,
but despite their plans to foil the
crowd, there was a good-sized gath
ering of curious people at Washing
ton and Calhoun streets, when the
train was stopped.
Mrs. Jones now slates that she did
not leave Augusta with Cherry, as re
ports have had it. She says that
Cherry left here at 3:30 in the after
noon for Macon and she followed him,
leaving here about three hours later.
She admits that they were together
in Macon and went from Macon to
Tampa, via Jacksonville. The im
pression that the couple went through
Milledgeville and Sandersville was
corrected in Monday’s Herald. The
authorities were told, however, that
they were seen together in Milledge
ledgeville. The falsity of this state
ment became known when Sheriff J
T. Plunkett stated Monday that a let
ter, received here by Mr. Gehrken on
September 7th, mailed the day before,
which was the day immediately after
their departure, bore the postmark of
a railway post office between Jack
sonville and Tampa. The sheriff has
always been of the opinion that the
couple went straight to Tampa via
Macon and Jacksonville, although the
report that they had been seen In
Milledgeville was investigated.
Mr. Jones Back, Too. %
Mr. Jones, husband of the young
woman in the case, returned on the
same train with the deputy, Cherry
and Mrs. Jones. He was sent to Tam
ba last Thursday by Chief of Police
vllidtt. wito was interested in the
case by Deputy United States Clerk
Skinner, in view of the possibility of
there being reason for prosecution of
Cherry for a violation of the “white
slave traffic” act. Shrewdly enough,
the chief, who was entirely unaware
I hat the county was at the same time
making an effort to find Cherry, sent
the husband to Tampa, stensibly to
locate only Cherry. By other route,
however, the chief planned to have
'oth C berry an( | [j l( . woman detained,
the husband to Tampa, ostensibly to
latter as the victim in what may de
\ elope into a case for the Federal
government.
No White Slave Charge Yet.
A telegraphic reply to a letter sent
yesterday was expected today from
the Department of Justice office at
Atlanta, but at 3 o’clock this after
noon no word had been received. The
United States in the case stands just
in the same position as it lias. No
action has been taken and so far as
is definitely known none will be.
Wednesday morning the office of
the Deputy United States Clerk was
visited early by Mr. Darrish, a brother
of Mrs. Jones, and later by Mr. J. V.
Jones and his brother, all seeking in
formation, it is understood, as to
what the federal authorities are go
ing to do—whether a charge of white
slavery will be brought out against
Cherry or not.
Related Certain Admissions.
It is learned that certain admis
sions of Mrs. Jones were related to
the Deputy Clerk by Mr. Jones, her
husband, and that they intended
bringing Mrs. Jones before the Deputy
Dlerk in an effort to have her tell
the government official the things she
told her husband.
What Mrs. Jones is said to have ad
mitted to her husband is not known.
Mrs. Jones was seen this afternoon
at her former residence. Adjoining
the residence is a grocery store ope
rated by Mrs. Tillie Jones, a sister of
'he young woman. The husband, who
tame in last evening from Tampa, was
not seen at the residence. His wife
stated that he was in town where he
said he had gone early this morning
to make arrangements to return to
work at Brickie’s.
Mrs. Jones Maintains Silence. ,
The young wife refused to be inter
viewed, or rather she told the reporter
who saw her in the store that she
would say nothing now and that
there wasn’t anyone who could make
her say anything. Upon Interrogation
she stated that she had not made up
her mind whether she would testify
against Cherry or not, should the fed
eral authorities handle him. She is,
of course, not Interested as a wit
ness in the larceny proceedings.
"Lies, Anyway."
“Almost all the things the papers
have been saying about us are ITes,
anyway,” she finally ventured. “I
don’t care what happens; they can do
what they please with me, but I* am
not going to talk, until they get me
In court."
DeputySherlff Whittle stated Wed
nesday that the couple were arrested
together shortly after Cherry had left
the telegraph office, where he was
expecting to get a telegram. The of
ficer stated that he waa told in Tam
pa that Cherry went to the office and
asked for the telegram in his own
name and as he did one of the em
ployes of the office cut a sharp eye
and turned and said something to an
oil employe. As the latter picked
y/ n {hp telephone,, according to the In
formation given Mr. Whittle, Cherry
said, "Well, you're too busy to wait on
me, I see.” and walked out.
Suspected Arrest.
From this he suspected that the no'
lice were on his

house to vnTeavor to gt a room for

chsrr.e.l. lie v * passing off ns ills
wife. The pall *ds arrested in their
prospective boarding place and not
at the place they had been stopping at
since they had reached Tampa. At
first, according to Mr. Whittle, Cherry
was unwilling to return to Augusta
without requisition papers, but after
the Augusta officer talked with him,
he agreed to come without this extra
trouble.
Got Mail in Own Name.
Although Cherry tried to conceal
his identity when placed under ar
rest, by using anotl>« name, Mr.
Whittle states that lie was receiving
his mail in Tampa in his own name.
Mr. Whittle says that Jones, who
was sent to Tampa in the case by
Chief Elliott, with a letter to Chief of
Police Woodward at Tampa, explain
ing his mission, had nothing what
ever to*do with the arrest of Cherry.
Cherry was released on SSOO bond
late Wednesday afternoon. Messrs.
John Eckoff and Pat Sharkey are the
bondsmen.
OPEN BIDS FOR
EQUIPMENT DE
HOSPITAL
Meeting of Special Hospital
Committee Friday. Meeting
Council Committees Wednes
day P. M.
On Friday afternoon next at four
o'clock bids will be' opened by the
special hospital committee of city
council for the equipment of the new
University Hospital. The equipment
will include furniture, kitchen uten
sils, silver ware, dishes, bed covering,
et cetera, it is expected that the
equipment of the hospitals will cost
a great deal of money, although the
special committee has been making
an earnest effort to eliminate all ex
cept the essentials in view of the fact
that the city is not particularly
’’flush" Just now.
The Herald stated Tuesday after
noon that the special committee to
report on the Kent ordinance to have
street cars stop before crossing the
street at -three crossings, the canal
committee and the streets and drains
committee would meet . that after
noon. However, this was a mistake.
These committees are to meet Wed
nesday afternoon.
IN CITY COURT
Prominent Attorneys Still in
the Arena Over Jwofski Case.
The third day of the hearing of Mrs.
Jwofski's suit against the Riverside
Mills was taken up with the speeches
of the lawyers.
Mr. Isaac S. Peebles spoke first for
the plaintiff, making out a strong
ease in which he stressed the human
side of the matter. He spoke of Mrs.
Jwofski, left a widow with seven chil
dren, defenseless and in need because
her husband had fallen a victim to
the danger which he had been forced
to face in order to provide for his
family. Mis argument was principally
to convince the jury that the floor on
which he had fallen was not reason
ably safe.
Mr. Bryan Cuming next spoke for
the defense, stating the case in plain
words, and going over the evidence to
prove that the floor was reasonably
safe. He devoted some attention to
the impeachment of a witness, a col
ored girl claiming to be an eye wit
ness, who, he alleged, had first saij
that Jwofski tripped over a spool and
had afterwards denied It, saving that
he slipped on the floor.
Mr. W. H. Barrett spoke briefly but
powerfully. He said that the Jury
could not but be convinced that the
floor was reasonably safe; and even
if it were not so, Jwofski had ample
opportunity of finding it out; that th.*
law put no responsibility on an em
ployer for an accident to an employee
who knew of the danger to which he
was exposed. If the floor were safe
or unsafe, their verdict must be tho
same.
The Jury, said Mr. Barrett, were un
der oath to administer Justice accord
ing to the now-existent laws, not to
be moved by the sad condition of a
family who were the victims of cir
cumstance. Their oath, he said, in
nowise instructed them to give away,
out of generosity, the money of other
people, let the Riverside Mills take
care of their own charity.
Court adjourned for dinner at. 1
o'clock, half an hour earlier than
usual, with orders to reassemble lit
3 o'clock, when Mr. Henry Cohen
would conclude for the plaintiff.

Jim Bagby Had Great Season in Southern League, Winning 20
and Losing Only 9 Games For New Orleans in Southern
League.
Jim Bagby, the Augusta boy who is
one of the best pitchers in minor
league baseball, has returned home af
ter the most successful season of his
career. He won 20 games for New
Orleans and lost nine, which is a won
derful record.
"The only team that I had much
trouble with," said Bagby in discuss

ERADICATE TICK
IN RICHMOND GO.
Report From E. M. Nighbert
For August Giving Figures
For Each County Been Re
ceived.
Richmond county is working con
sistently and effectively in co-opera
tion wtih the tick eradication in Geor
gia, under the direction of the state
veternarlan, Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen.
A report for the month of August,
just compiled, shows that in this
county out of 676 cattle there were
3,089 inspections made, including re
inspections. The report gives the
number of premises or ranges infected
with the cattle tick as 61.
Copies of a similar report for Geor
gia, giving the figures for the various
counties, have been received here from
E. M. Nighbert, inspector in charge.
For the entire state the report shows
that there are 218 vats in operation
and that dipping and spraying are the
methods of eradication employed,
which is the case in most every state.
What Report Says.
The report goes on:
“The year 1915 will see over one
fourth of the State freed of the cattle
fever tick and released from quaran
tine. This means an opportunity to
safely develop high class cattle on all
farms and sell them without quaran
tine restrictions. Cattle sell at all
times and under all conditions for
cash in hand, simply because people
eat cattle. The work is being ex
tended throughout the remainder of
the state.”

BEGS TO RETAIN
HER CHILDREN
With a Family of Nine, Mrs*
Tarleton, Widow, Struggles
Not to Have Any of Them
Taken By Charitable Insti
tutions.
A case of pathetic Interest came up
Tuesday before Judge Sturgis of the
Juvenile Court, when Mrs, Martha
Tarleton, widow of Henry Tarleton,
who lives with nine children out on
on the Bath Hoad, was brought in
charged with being unable to sup
port her family.
Evidence was brought forward to
prove that they were, to a great ex
tent, objects of charity to the coun
tryside.
The woman brought seven of the
children In Tuesday morning with
her, none of whom had ever been to
school, nor more than once or twloe
to church. She vowed, In tears, that
she was able to take care of them,
but a number of witnesses. Including
her own brother, testified that sbe
was not. The question of putting her
children, or some of them, into char
itable institutions had come up be
fore, hut so fAr nothing had been dona.
An orphan asylum, whan asked to
take the four or five younger chil
dren, turned them down, saying that
they were full up. The Juvenile
Court, at length therefore, detewnln
ed to take legal possession of tha
children and place them whecavee It
could.

YEARS IN ARCTIC
Gasoline Schooner Teddy Bear
Returns to Nome With Won
derful Collection From Frozen
North.
Nome, Alaska/— The fifteen tots trooO
eri gasoline schooner Tedy Bear wbtah
left Nome on a hunting, trapping end
trading expedition in 190# has return
ed lo port after an eventful voyage
in tlis Arctic. Hhe skirted the north
<oast of Usnadu. farther eastward
than any other Ship ever had gone,
and might have accomplished the
northwest passage and reached Hud
son Bey but for a shortage of gaso
line. The little boat hod sailed IKOO
miles since August 4. unable to use
engine because there was no gaeolimt
aboard.
The Teddy Bear with Captain Jo*
Bernard, John Hamlstrom and an Es
kimo crew left Nome well supplied
with goods for trade among the Es
kimos. In the winter of 1910 Band
strorn was frosien to death on Barter
Island, while he was on his way t>
an Eskimo village.
The Teddy Bear explored Corona
tion Gulf. on whose shores live the
Bluo eyed Eskimos, supposed to be
descendants of the Scandinavian set
tlers in Greenland. Bernard and his
erew lived comfortably on the will
game of the coast and had an ambi
tion to go lo Hudson Bay, but after
making more than half the distance
they dared not continue because tho
shore farther east was uninhabited
and the Teddy Bear was without
gasoline.
Met Stefansson
In 1911 Captain Bernard met Vtlh-
Jalitiur Stefansson on Coronation Gulf
and carried him to Bailey Island.
Bernard, who went rather coat than
Steffanrson, says 75 per cent of the
Eskimos lie met east of the Macken
sle river had never seen a white man
or a while man'* vessel. The natives
lived In most primitive fashion, using
stone and copper weapons and cook
ing utensils.
