# A QUEER MIX-I P. ^egro, Claiming; Fatlier Owils Ram* , berg Propeity, in Police Muddle. When Harry Goodman, colored, art rested on a charge of burglary last Sunday night, secretively threw $400 ( c in a corner of the detectives' room at the police station, he started a c series of legal fights which are novel . in police circles and will probably occupy considerable interest in the x i higher courts. At the present time. Charlotte Elam, also colored, victim of Goodman's alleged burglars. her loss being $80 taken from a trunk, ( is through her attorney, O. Lee White, garnishing Chief of Police Grubbs and Chief of Detectives Elliott for the evidence now being held held at the police barracks, and R. L. Chambers is seeking to obtain the entire amount as a fee on an order which his client, Goodman, has issu - - j * ? ea on me ponce uepanmcui,. .-vi ^inbald* Blacksliear, city attorney, is handling the city's interests in the * matter. Goodman was brought into the police barracks last Sunday night ^ and given a thorough search at the desk. , Twenty-three dollars was c found on his person. This was turned over to the officer of the day and deposited as "prisoner's property," and the negro was placed in a cell. A few minutes afterwards Lieut. Elliott, while in the detectives' quar- i ters, where Goodman had been cross- i examined, noticed a small object in \ the corner of the room. Picking it up he discovered it to be $400 in t ;large bills, practically everyone of g 'them being a $20 bill or one of a l higher denomination. ' Lieut. Elliott then went to the cell room and questioned the prisoner as _ to how much money he had on his ( person when arrested. The negro ^ maintained that he had but $23, the amount then being held for his order by the officer of the day, and after c hearing Goodman's statement, Lieut. ^ Elliott then went away without di- j vulging his discovery to the alleged N burglar, and turned the money over ^ i tn tho nffirpr nf thp rlav. "Nice Fee," Says Chambers. j Monday morning, following Good- j man's removal to the county jail, R. L. Chambers, a local attorney, went f there and told the jailer that Good- f man had sent for him through rela- ^ C tives. Here Mr. Chambers obtained x ft an order witnessed by Jailer Whit- t tie, from Goodman on the police de- a partment for the $400, which he then c claimed he had dropped in the de- a * tectives' office and stated on the or- r der that the amount was to be given ^ Mr. Chambers as a fee for his de- ^ fense on the burglary charge. ^ According to Mr. Chambers this t order was delivered to the police and v wh?n he asked for the money a day E - , or two later, he was met with the an- t swer that the order had been de- c stroyed and the $400 was being held E subject to the decision of the city at- ^ torney. 0 Last night Mr. Chambers stated j, that this fee was "not excessive," s for defending a man charged with burglary, a possible twenty years sentence, although he added, it "was ^ a nice fee." He said that he had re- e tained the services of another law- q yer, Hamilton Phinizy, to assist him. 0 As to the $23 which was turned ^ over to Goodman by the police when a he was sent to jail he said that he >; would be glad to let the prisoner ^ r^-have it after he secured the $400. In C( the event of his not getting the mon- e ey from the police on the decision of c; the city attorney Mr. Chambers will ^ go into the courts and sue for recovery. He has three methods of recov- u ering his money, viz., bail trover, e, possessory warrant or an open suit. a Money to lie Held. The other phase of the case deals ai with the garnishment suit brought w by Charlotte Elam, who claimed that p, Goodman broke into her trunk and a stole $S0. This proceeding, which p was instituted before E. T. Bennett, tl justice of the peace, by Attorney b v White, is directed against Chief of b Police Grubbs and , Lieut. R. E. k - Elliott, chief of detectives. The an- p swer is returnable on the first Mon- c day in April. These officers immedi- c; ately upon accepting service turned rr the matter over to the city attorney b who stated last night that he had n advised the officers to hold the mon- fi ev until the case was settled before t< Judge Henry C. Hammond. b Other property found on Goodman's person, when he was spnrph- +1 ? 1 * ' ed included three bank books, depos- b its on which are approximately $500. 3 These books are from banks at w Leesville, Aiken and Batesburg, but o according to the attorneys named e> above bear no part in the litigation, w Goodman claims that his father e owns considerable property in Bam- C berg county.?Augusta Chronicle.

New York, March 13.?The first I ieath in this city from "sleeping j iickness" was reported to the health i iepartment today. Erskine W.
