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.

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

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

Sew York Clerk Dies of "SleepingSickness."
New York, March 13.?The first I
ieath in this city from "sleeping j

a clerk, 35 years of age. became!
11 five days ago, went to sleep a day |

physicians.

ie added, were sore throat, headache
ind drowsiness, but these, in a mild
legree, might also be accompani- j

Dr. Copeiand explained that the j

trgiea, or epidemic coma, should not j

"During much of the fighting
rom October 8 to 11 and from 1 7 to 1
l9, difficulties of %the terrain were
rery great, with the country greatly

tnd villages with uneven terrain and!

idded to the machine gun defense,
>f which the Germans took every adantage.
The La Salje river, with
ligh banks beyond, was obstinately
lefended. In spite of these difficulies
the. advance continued, often
without artillery support, and was
aade possible only by the determinaion
of the men and the skillful use
