TO BRING BACK KITCHEN.

The Yamacraw Wife Murderer to Be in Savannah To-day.

Solicitor General Fraser was one of the most agreeably surprised men in the city yesterday morning when he read the Morning News' account of the capture in Charleston of Murderer Kitchen. He could hardly believe it at first.

Late in the morning the solicitor received a telegram from the Charleston authorities officially announcing the arrest, and stating that the prisoner was awaiting his orders. The necessary papers were made out and turned over to Detective Hanley, who left last night for Charleston. He will return some time to-day with the murderer. The solicitor general will bring the case to trial as soon as possible.
