Morrell was arested at a negro restaurant in company with a man who f says his name is John Crosby, of 712 East Broad street, Savannah, a pain- J ter by trade. They came over on the Savannah steamer and were drinking, j v bringing a suit case containing twelve revolvers, watches and some jewelry, which they were offering for sale.1 When arrested, four loade revolvers : were found on one and five on the oth- j er, besides some watches and rings. \ Chief White was putting the seized r pistols on the desk in the receiving Toom of the jail, when Morrell leaped , for one and shot out the electric bulb, then fired at White, who grappled to-! ward the entrance, and escaped the third shot, White killing the prisoner on the threshold of the jail with a j -?-? +.v> rVi ^ T n thp m Pflil - D-U-Vt W11UU5IL ULLC V. w?? time Crosby rail upstairs and tried to j stand off a policeman, who disarmed j him.

Crosby is defiant and refuses to give any ovpont thai. hi<: pnmnan AiliUl 11 v x ion is named Morrell and is from Sa-; vannah.

A negro who came i over from Savannah with them has ! j been arrested today. Today evidence showed that Crosby fired five shots, j Morrell three and White two. With' seven men in the small room it is a wonder that only Morrell was hit. Savannah, Ga., April 29.?Following ^ the killing of Charles H.

In the meantime the police of Beaufort have been requested to hold Crosby, the living man, for the local authorities. It is likely a warrant will be issued here for him, and if the governor of South Carolina will honor a requisition for him he will be brought back to Savannah when the South Carolina authorities surrender him. j The local detectives have been work- j ing upon clues to the burglaries which they claim have led to these men, and others, who, it is alleged, are con- j nected with them.

NEGRO PASSENGER RAN AMUCK OX THE C. & G.l, i ' Greenville News. j If there is anyone anywhere who thinks for a moment that he can board Capt Meredith's train, on the; C. & G. road, and raise a "rough j house" without getting "pinched" he had better abandon such an idea with- i out ever trying to pull off such a stunt, i At any rate, this is the way a young; negro by the name of Burts. latelv of : Golden Grove, or parts thereabout,1 reasoned to himself yesterday morn- \ ing when Magistrate Samuel Stradley had put him on the rack. I ' Burts boarded Capt. Meredith's train Sunday afternoon, together with his i "bottle," his "six-shooter," and a \ bountiful supply of the spirit of "His i Satanic Majesty" in his heart. The train had not proceeded very far be fore Capt. Meredith called on the bur- j ]y passenger for his fare. This Burts' declined to fork over, and emphasized; his determination not do do so with a little 'cussing" and a flourishing of! his "six-shooter." Within the twinkling of an eye Capt. Meredith and his trusty flagman were "all over" the negro, and with such j vim that Burts evidently thought a tornado had struck him. The weapon was wrenched from his hand and in j some manner the butt of that revolver,; 1 or another revolver, came into contact, with the negro's cranium with such j force as to cause a gash to be formed 1 thereon. Burts was brought on to Greenvine and a warrant for his detention was | sworn out by Special Agent James Al- i torn. The negro was yanked to jail, and Monday morning he was yanked before Magistrate Stradley and the sentence of the court was yanked up-, on him with all due speed. Burts was j given $30 or 30 days for refusing to J pay his railroad fare, a like sentence J for carrying concealed weapons and! $30 or 30 days for breacning tne peace, j Sixty hard dollars Burts yanked over J to the State to pay for his fun. And in addition to that had his pistol con-; fiscated by the State. mmm ? MAGISTRATE CASE IX COIRT.
