BREED OF DOG
PROVES PUZZLE
Oscar Marcus was handed his
choice of paying a $5 fine or serving
ten days, when he appeared in Police
Court to answer the charge of allow
ing a dog to run at large which bit
Mrs. W. H. Hobbs of 218 West 39th
street on the thigh.
“The dog lunged at me several
times as I walked along the street
holding my little boy’s hand," said
Mrs. Hobbs. She said it was when
she feared the child would be harmed
and picked him up and placed him
on her shoulder that the animal bit
her on the leg.
“It was one of those mixed up af
fairs" said Officer W. T. Sullivan,
investigating, in an effort to describe
the breed of dog to the court. The
officer said the dog was undoubtedly
vicious. Mr. Marcus said he usually
kept his dog locked up. The canine
was really not trying to bite Mrs.
Hobbs, but being playful with chil
dren, was leaping in fun at the lit
tle son of Mrs. Hobb’s shoulder when
the complainant was bitten, Mr. Mar
cus opined.

MANSLAUGHTER
I
AUTO DRIVER ARRESTED
WHEN MRS. KATIE
BUNCE DIES
Emery L. LaChance, of Avondale,
will face a charge of involuntary
manslaughter in Police Court Friday
morning as a result of the death
about 7 o’clock this morning ip a lo
cal hospital of Mrs. Katie Bunce, 720
East Anderson street. Police say Mr.
LaChance was the driver of one of
the two cars which figured in the
auto crash in which Mrs. Bunce was
badly injured early Saturday night.
The death of Mrs. Bunce today made
the third fatality caused by Fourth
of July auto accidents.
This morning LaChance was being
held by county police until he could
post a bond of $3,000 and as a co
defendant in the same case, authori
ties detained Miss Rosemary Dewey,
of 511 Broughton street weet, on the
charge of being drunk in the auto
driven by LaChance. Bond for Miss
Dewey’s release has been set at
SI,OOO.
County Police Officers T. J. Ma
honey and L. S. Fillyaw investigated
the accident in which Mrs. Bunce
and Mrs. W. C. Oglesby, of 633 Ott
street, were hurt. Mrs. Oglesby sus
tained a leg injury but had improved
sufficiently to be removed from the
Oglethorpe Sanitarium to her home
yesterday.
According to police, an auto driven
by Mr. LaChance and one driven by
Daniel M. Bunce, husband of the
dead woman, collided head-on at the
intersection of Moore avenue and the
Bonaventure road at 6:40 o’clock Sat
urday night. Riding the car with
Mr. and Mrs. Bunce was Mrs. Ogles
by.
LaChance was driving, officers said
toward Victory Drive on Moore ave
nue and Bunce was coming toward
Savanah on the Bonaventure road.
It was the contention of investigators
that the accident occurred as the at
tention of Mr. LaChance was divert
ed for a moment when Miss Dewey,
said to have been drunk, leaped out
of the LaChance car. She suffered
slight scalp wounds and had to re
ceive medical aid after being locked
up.
Recorder Pro Tern Joseph Hester
continued the hearing of the docket
cases against the two defendants un
til Friday when the court was ad
vised this morning of the death of
Mrs. Bunce. The case had been orig
inally set for today.

i CHIEF CHAPMAN
TO BOOK TRIO
IN CUTTING CASE
CLIMAX IS EXPECTED AS
COUNTY OFFICER DI
VULGES PLANS
County Police W. F. Chapman said
this morning he expected to place
three negro men on the docket for
a hearing in Police Court Thursday
in connection with the invasion of
: the home of Samuel Hamilton. 70.
Savannah river bridge tender, and
Mashing of the man’s throat early in
June. For a time the aged victim’s
life was feared for at the local hos
j pital where he was confined.
Chief Chapman said charges of as
sault with intent to murder, and roj
bery by force would be enterid at
the Police Court hearing where Willie
Cuthbert, Henry Taylor and Johnry
Bee, will be arraigned.
Early last month two negro mtn
appeared at the home of the span
keeper at Port Wentworth. Th®y
swept into the home, past Mrs. Ham
• iltcn who stood at the dorway. and
one grabbed the woman's husband.
In a struggle the bridge tender s
threat was severely slashed with a
knife. The second negro layed rough
hands on Mrs. Hamilton and snatch
ed from her a purse containing about
$5. Mrs. Hamilton had been begging
the other negro to spare her husband’s
life.
Immediate investigation was begun
by county police and later Chief
Chapman arrested Taylor and Bee
in a lumber yard not so far from the
Hamilton home. County Officer T.
J. Mahoney arrested Cuthbert a little
over a week ago. The man fled at the
sight of the officer but was captured
after a brief chase.
Police were reticent in divulging
the evidence they would present for
the conviction of the trio. Thougn
three men are to be given a hearing,
but two broke into the Hamilton
home. It was assumed from inferences I
of police that the third negro alleged
ly was a companion of the other two
at the scene of the attack.

BROWN FARM IS TERMI
NUS OF HAPLESS
VENTURE
Willie Jones went out to spend 60
days on the Brown Farm this morn
ing. a very much disillusioned and
disguested colored man. They had
Willie up in police court this morn
ing where they charged him with at
tempted larceny of chickens. And
that was all foolishness, said Willie,
because he wasn’t trying to steal any
chickens. Willie said he was justsorta
“standin’ ’roun and watchin’” while
another man loaded the chickens into
a sar’:.
Early Sunday morning there were
sounds about th? chicken coop of Ellis
Thomas. A shotgun report split the
night air and, police said Willie
stopped a goodly quantity of the bird
shot. Willie went to hospital. His
companion was given a 60-day Brown
Farm sentence yest?rday. It seemed
they were digging a hole under the
chicken coop to make their haul.
Last night about 11 o’clock the
hospital r?ported Willie Jones’ bea
was empty and the man was nowhere
to be found. Police searched the hos
pital grounds but no patient. About
midnight Willie strolled into police
headquarters in his nightshirt. He
wasn’t saisfled with the hospital
treatment of his injuries.
“They give me some sticking plas
ter and told me to make myself com
fortable,” said the groaning Willie.
