Savannah, Ga., Feb. 14.—Savannahns generally feel that they are yet to enjoy the sensation of which they were robbed by those who were to afford it. They believe that B. D. Greene and John F. Gaynor will be brought back to this city to stand trial for the conspiracy to defraud with which they are charged by the United States government.

All Savannah was naturally deeply interested in the trial of the supposed arch-conspirators. Developments in the celebrated case came so fast for a time after the flight of Greene and Gaynor to Quebec that the people scarce had a chance to collect their wits and realize the regret they felt that the sensational trial had not been held, according to program and the intention of Judge Emory Speer, the United States court officials and all the parties at interest save those most vitally concerned.
