THE RICHMOND PLANET EXPERIENCES IN LOUISIANA. Editor Mitchell Tells of a Visit to New Orleans. Friends Welcome Him. The Scene in St. Charles Hotel Many Questions Asked Colored Banker from Virginia. VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 1. EXPER IN Editor Mitche Orleans.. The Scene in St. Asked Colo It was a tiresome trip with the coming of the shades of night. I rested my head on a pillow which the porter had kindly provided for me and "dropped off" in a troubled sleep. The train was nearing New Orleans, and after "freshening" myself in the lavatory, I was ready to meet the happenings in this faraway Southern city. I went out to the platform. A porter took my luggage, expecting the usual tip, while I waved a farewell to the Pullman carporter, who seemed sorry to see me go. FRIENDS GATHER THERE. As I was ushered through the gates I saw the familiar and well-known Mr A O Smith, propriator of the Chicago Hotel, 202 South Rampart Street At his side stood Attorney J. Madison Vance and J. A. Hardin, M. Dr. one of New Orleans leading physicians, also his Banks Dr. Hardin and his automobile in waiting and a few moments later went on a route to my stopping place I had requested that I be carried first to the St Charles Hotel, the headquarters of the American Bankers' Association A TRIP TO ST CHARLES I notched that there was not over much enthusiasm among my newfound friends at the idea Dr Hardin responded promptly, however, and in a few moments I was being rapidly whirled up the brilliantly lighted Canal street. It is at least a hundred feet wide, possibly more, and it reminded me of the wide thoroughfares of Salt Lake City, Utah. We soon entered St Charles street and later stopped before that magnificent palatial hotel. Electric lights swung across the streets, while a large banner had been stretched across the street with the words "Headquarters of the A. B Association." A CONGREGATION OF BANKERS. There was much surprise on the countenances of the white people standing around. They could not understand it white the colored folks seemed to dumfounded. "Come in Mr Vance." I said. No, we the reply. I'll stay out here and look after the car. You go, Doctor. "All right" was the response. Now, Dr Hardin looked more like a Spanish than he did like a cither. In fact, he could pass for a member of the white race. Upon entering this palatial hotel I saw that it was crowded with white bankers. A SCENE OF TRANSCENDANT DEATH I wended my way upstairs and made inquiries concerning the location of the headquarters of the American Bankers' Association It was on the second floor, and to this room we welcomed our way. The spacious hallways, with the palms and flowers were strikingly beautiful. In addition to this reception and hall to the members of the Executive Council were well under way Magnificently gowned ladies fitted to and fro, while millionaire bankers attired in evening dress, moved to and fro. Floating on the air came the strains of sweet music. It was a scene to dazzle the eye, stir the emotions and move the heart. COULD NOT UNDERSTAND IT We reached the registration room and there were about a dozen pretty white lady typewriters. As we entered they looked surprised. An inquiry was made as to whether the registration books were open oiled an affirmative response. Although I had asked the question, the young white gentleman who came forward asked Dr. Hardin if he desired to register. He told him that Mr. Mitchell, pointing to me, desired to register. Then came the climax. The young man seemed to be upset. The image shows a large crowd of people gathered in an outdoor setting, likely during a public event or ceremony. The crowd is densely packed, with many individuals standing in rows facing a central point. The background features a cityscape with tall buildings and flags, suggesting an urban environment. The overall atmosphere appears to be one of anticipation or celebration. THE AMERICAN BANKERS' ASSOCIATION IN SESSION IN THE ATHENAEUM, NEW ORLEANS, LA., TUESDAY, NOV. 21, 1911. The Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., was represented by its President, John Mitchell, Jr., who is the only colored banker ever admitted upon the floor of that financial organization. The combined assets and surplus of the members of the Association have been estimated at fifteen thousand million dollars.

He looked at it and inquired if I represented that institution I replied in the affirmative. "Are you a member of the American Bankers' Association," he asked. "I am," was the response. "Do you desire to register?" "I do," was the reply. He reached for a card and approaching a lady atenographer, handed it to her. She wrote down the detailed information while her associate atenographers exchanged glances and smiled. They did not expect to note the favorable cultivation of the colloquy, and when I had been formally registered and the hedge and official buon and invitations handed to me, they were amazed. In company with Dr. Hardin. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1911. went on the outside, breathing a sigh of relief as the cool air did much to restore me to a normal condition, after the crucial experience, through which I had just passed. I had been attending the annual seasons of the American Bankers' Association for seven years, but had never been under such a fire of questions as I noted upon this occasion of my visit to Louisiana. It had been customary for me to pick up a card, many of which were laying around, and fill it out, or to pass up my own card to a lady stenographer, who filled it out. The official badge and the invitations followed. A BIBLICAL COMPARISON But in this case it might well be said that "another king arose, who knew not Joseph." Certain it was that this young man did not know that a coloured man had ever been formally admitted to active membership in the American Banker" Association. With that button upon the lapel of my coat, all fear vanished, and the thought of further serious embarrassment passed away It was no longer the colored man John Mitchell, Jr.—it was the rejuvenated member of the American Bankers Association from Virginia, who held the right of way WAS TOO MUCH RISK I was here in Louisiana, in a State where race prejudice is intangent, and the antipathy to the segregation anything related to him will known of all men. I knew that many of my friends had doubted the adaptability of my making this trip into the "darkest South," especially in view of the unsettled conditions existing in the Southland. I must admit that this logic had some effect upon me but not enough to cause me to cancel my engagements and when the Board of Directors of the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Rhumbond Van-deed that I should attend this session I determined to trust the Democrat white men of the upper class SESSION IN THE ATHENAEU is represented by its President, J assets and surplus of the member in this section of the country an make the journey OFFICERS WANTED TO KNOW This was a week of pleasure for the wh to bankers.

The chief of detectives and the police officers wanted to know about it, and their amazement was all the more pronounced when they were told that it was the Negro banker from Richmond, Va., who had entered the Chilco Charles Hotel. They wanted him come out, and he was in the automobile, and as we drove to the Chilco Hotel Dr. Hardin told with a few about our experiences, but a few minutes before. I was soon at the Chicago Hotel. I discussed with friends the recent events, retired to my room, and soon was in the land of dreams. · PECULIAR THOUGHTS When daylight came: I hail bees (Continued on Fourth Page) A FATHER IN ISRAEL HAS FALLEN ASLEEP.

THE OBSTINATE TEMPLE "SEE here, Temple," said Craven, coming windily into the Library, waving a sheet of foolscap. "Here's a little statement I two just prepared. He's been a wolf, went fessor in never so slight as a spasm of weevetness, but he said shortly enough "Fire ahead. I'll listen. Only you, you see, you're up to so many little statements," Craven "Hang it. man, I warned the lawyer "One would think it was a matter of difference with you when you were put in innocent of this crime or not. That's one of the reasons you opinion is so against you. You so apparently un concerned about the whole affair. Why, you walk along your head in the air, your claw, saying to the world 'Take a pun bit if it you can' and the next thing you know they'll bear you down and they'll be during which Craven had his friend and lawyer it's a tamer case had been the first in the order over which they had differed. But then, it was the first time that Tempel had been personally attacked. He tried now to put the personal expiration before his friend "You see dear traven" he said in explanation for his apparent difference. "I appreciate your statement which I wish to indicate on long suffering jobs but don't you feel the little fact that your friend happens to be the victim of their assault on which causes all this worry on your part. For example, presuming you were my place, would you still endeavor to compromise to explain?" "Explain to me" I'd never say. "Precisely" laughed Temple, leaning back in his chair, "precisely" you. I'm right, old friend, and you were wrong. You admit you wouldn't do it yourself in your own ease. Clearly and logically, what I must do is to wait till I get some tangible proof of my innocence. What's the use of trying to vindicate myself if the proof faces this. This New Yorker I don't see still. word till I can make good. Some where among Brady's papers, I will my life, there is a letter or a chap strip or something.

"I should pose you never got pay off?" I say. You, your so-called friends are beginning to disbelieve in you. The papers are offended but you refuse to talk. Now be reassemble. Here's this little statement which I prepared to be sent out over your sigature. He opened the copy. "I're ahead," said Temple indulgent by bending down to pat it a lot. "He the public," began Craven stoutly. "Dankey No. 1," I mentally commented the man opposite to him, slowly lighting cigar.

CHIRD TEMPLE. trust bonds, I by this act becoming equally responsible with him for making up the loss. At the time of the panic Mr. Brady asked the Gotham Trust company to certify a check to the amount of $700,000. This I refused to do, not feeling justified in making the trust company responsible for Brady's check. Thereupon Brady went to Robert Granger, the cashier, and provailed upon him to certify the check. "Hishy, hishy, hishy!" execuated Temple, puffing leisurely at his elight, "Since the trial and conviction of Granger," pursued Craven unmovedly, "it has become known that Brady, my co-trustees, used that check to make good his unlawful appropriation of the fund of which he and I are trustees. Naturally it appeared that I profited equally with Brady, in the use to which the check was put. It is be- WILLIAM JONES. cause of my apparent profit that I am supposed to have given the order to Granger." "Weak—weak as dishwater!" ried Temple, spurning up. "Craven, it's no good, I tell you. Craven caught myself believing myself a thief while you read it. It is futile to explain—hopelessly futile. till we can present some proof that Craven did of his own resolution certify that check. Oh, I'll trust in Crane a little more." "Oh, Craven, there was nothing in the room for a few moments while Temple smoked. Craven turned to a gray muscach in a quarry and Cato scopt. "What did you say?" asked Craven anxiously, looking over his glasses. "I did not say." "I want you to Confound it, you don't take life seriously enough." "You have perhaps observed that I don't make the mistake of doing so in some matters I hardly think I am grown up. I am, for example, quite content to remain a boy so far as the muddles of life are concerned, continuing with youthful cheerfulness to tremble; do profundas clamavit into 'out of the depths I have clamas, chom'; jeopardize as I did when I held the forest at the foot of the best form in Latin." "You're too pigheadedly brazen in your play with public opinion, that what you are my boy,"cried Craven hotly "Public opinion has already conceived you." "So?" said Temple serenely, lifting his eyebrows in that quizzical way of his. "Public opinion is very abused. I protest against it. Take one厚此厚ly ignorant man Who regards his opinion or considers his judgments as vital. Put together all the thoroughly educated men who are told that the sum of their stupidity is to be reverenced, regarded with awe." "The value of the people" broke in Craven. "Diahlin finished his client 'the public of today has gone mad with a mukrake in its hands,' it's too rationally ready to believe that those in high places" "Are Iikyd dyed soundrules—don't I know? be he in Grave?" "And that what they are taking you, one of the kid glove glazers, one of the mukrake any table thieves" "Templeton, he had caught the portrait of his mother over the mantel. His mood suddenly offered to downright cry" "Criven' offered crane $10,000 to get some untied proof from Bradley's office. But I did give a million. I give every cent I get to stand clear and be rescued as honest. I tell you, I tell you it's hell. I tell you I've worked, worked all my life, worked hard to build up my career on honest clean lines. You know it. I've turned my back to crooked ways when they were easy, accessible and now I am accused of being a thief, the distract sort of a man the man who shoulders his time on another" "The muscles of his naughty swift a bit; he felt his control slipping away, so he turned abruptly on his heel and averted his face. The grim lawyer crossed over to lay his hand with almost a woman's tenderness on the big shoulder of his friend, and his voice broke with a suspicion of huskiness as he mutted: "Steady, old man, steady, Well kick clear of it all yet." When Temple spoke again it was in his customary tone "Craven, it seems to me that if Granger credited that check he didn't do it for more love. Must have received something in return, eh?" "Something in return" and the lawyer dryly "Sure, and a big something at that. It was worth it." "What do you suppose he did it with, then?" The lawyer shrugged his shoulders. "The papers said he had a wife, I remember. Ever see her?" "Never did," said Graven in inconclusive, "Suppose she's extravagant?" "Superstious question," grunted Graven. "They all are." Graven was ally and a bachelor by instinct, one might even say by heredity, for his father had succeeded in escaping material possessions. Temple smiled indulently and began elaborating his new idea. "It has occurred to me that if we could establish that Granger has been spending or increasing large sums of money laterly it would help our cause. That's why I mentioned his wife." Before he vouchered to reply the cynical old lawyer walked across the room, and himself to a pug of brendy and soils. "Your premise is all right, Temple" he sneered, "but your conclusion is soppy, saddle. We'll try to find out THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. If no spent money, aside. But we won't waste time in trying to find out if he spent it on his wife. The great trouble with you is that you're romantic." Temple nodded comprehensively, the odd, quirky, boyish upilch coming to his eyebrows again notwithstanding. "Dare you you're right," said he simp. "Of course; it was a noble and high minded supposition, on your part, grinned the back shoulder, 'and, having the marriage germ in your system, it to be expected. You haven't a wife, so you naturally fancy the money would be spent on one. Granger has a wife. He naturally spends it on somebody else. Each man turns to the thing he does not possess." Temple nodded again. "Well, when you go into town on Monday, get the still hunt started for the woman, will you?" "Sure, you bet your life. But," he called back over his shoulder, as he was leaving the Westfield, N. J, where Granger's home is; we'll hunt for her in West Fort third street. New York." "And this temple of Granger's," murmured Temple, left to himself, "I suppose she has faith in him, they all have. I dare say it's she who's working behind this plan to get his pardon, doubtless she's somewhere now, praising for him, waiting for him to come back to her, vindicated, an honest man and a man. Well, I nighting to her and I will. We are you are! Queer little muddle it is, after all, this play of life. I wonder sometimes if the great Eye mustn't get tired of it and the great Ear worried of it. I wonder!" A light, firm knock at the door caused Temple to wake from his reverie. His new secretary entered, ready for work. From the first days of his association with the Gotham Trust company in an inconsequential capacity to the later days when he had risen to his presidency, allies and rivals had in Burton Temple a personal humility that he cherished, undoubtedly in qualities that were terrible. He had the gentleness of a lamb and the strength of a lion Immediately Anna Grunger had recognized the second of these qualities. Now, after some weeks of daily work with him, in the gradual unveiling of the man's personality, she was coming to a sense of the first. Her judgments about her husband were beginning to threaten her mind with an energy that she possessed powerless to arrest. They did not make her happy, far from it, but they quickened and intensified all the acts of thinking and living. Usually, however, she succeeded in recapturing herself, in beating back the thoughts which, like troops on a doofful field, appeared to be carrying her husband through life and strong, holds of an energy; she was impatient and scornful of them. As to Temple himself, maybe he didn't know it, but already he was in the way to fall as completely in love with his new secretary as Amadis of Gaul or Aucassin of Beaucaire or any other hero of romance you may choose to mention. Even in the first few days he had found himself thinking that he had ever thought of any woman. He was not the fashion of man to whom women in general appeared—not that he was wanting in a certain admiration for them or in reverence, but his early life had been devoted to his mother and to his career, so that during the days when a man usually chooses a wife Temple had been too occupied to seek for one. Later—well, somehow he had not met with any one who had quickened the romance that was in his heart this cool, collected man of finance was romantic. He was more, he was an idealist. He was the sort of man who would husband to his original mate or none. Unconceivably he made constant little discoveries in Anna—most charming yields of new regions of intelli- gence, now points of humor, unexpected fountains of humor, unfathomable depths of womanliness. Her eyes and her hair pleased him; her slim, firm, delicate hands—No; he repudiated that. It was herself—her inimitable self. And as he felt the excellencies and beauties of her nature more and more he Yolt the absorbing power of his own manhood to make them his own. She bloomed for him the flower of fauces, but the seeds lay in his own heart; she seemed an exhalation from his own hidden sources. His mother possessed the same ladyhood. At Anna's age his own mother must have been like her, his thought, the stirrer in his passions, the ally of Others. Life with the陪伴 with such women promised not gratifications merely, but satisfactions. Life partnership and love! They were thoughts now for noo nor her presence. With a man like Burton Temple everything had its time and place. He must clear his good name first. That was the imperative duty on hand. As the result of the gradual recognition of the state of his own feelings, there had come about increased activity in his work against Granger. The reward to Crane, should be succeed in securing some scrap of evidence from Birry, had been raised to $25,000. The detective bureau had been offered a fabulous sum for proof that Granger had invested any large amount of money; that he had been a big purchaser of stock in any company, er that he was tangled up with some a daring, shoved fighter could use had, been overlooked. And so, all once unceasingly—oh, the little pathetic game of hungin' cross purposes 'at, which fate, the finty hearted, insult smile—Anna Granger had become arce—once her husband's champion and foo. She, for tenderness toward him, was here in Temple's house, fighting desperately to find some evidence that would clear him. Temple, for the vindicated honor which he hoped to lay 'at his lady's feet, was fighting with equal desperation to keep in prison as a branded thief the man whom he had sent there. But, as yet, the fight had fetched nothing to either of them. CHAPTER V. "MRS. MASON," sighed Anna weanily one day. "Here I've been for nearly a month and I've found out nothing. I don't believe I ever will find out anything of myself against Mr. Temple." The housekeeper started and eyed her curiously. "Even if you don't find out anything, dearle, she said stolidly, "you may be pretty certain that your husband will be set free Mr. Temple may be indicted now any day, and everybody, all the papers, say the circumstance of your death, he must be convicted." He's surely guilty." Mrs. Mason, as all who knew her were aware, once having formed an opinion, held to it. "I don't want Robert cleared on circumstantial evidence," protected Anna. "That's not what I'm making this fight for. I know what public opinion is. It's fake; it cries 'Hosannah' on Palm Sunday, it cries 'Cruelty' on Good Friday. I know the sway of the press can make or unmake a man. Just now it's making Robert and breaking Mr. Temple, but after the clamor will come doubt. I want the proof of Robert's innocence in my own hands. I don't want any sentimental mediation for the father of my boy. I want father of her born. Yes, it had come to be just that. Unappreciably she had said it. I to keep herself to her duty she had fallen back on that last reserve of a woman's strength, her mother love. And how hungry she was growing for them, these boys of hers "Oh, I need them," she exclaimed in a end, den outstretched "I need them." Do you know, without them even in my prayers have come to be stricken and paled things. Without them the great scheme of the universe seems to have got grotesquely mixed, irrationally jumbled. With a child in her army a woman feels always less like a speech of sand under the eye of the infinite, the Incomprehensible. It is the unbreakable link of the Human Son binding us to the feet of God. I suppose. Anna leaned forward over her machine and buried her head in her arms. A light was dawning upon Mrs. Mason—a light which she dreaded. She came over and stroked the buried head. "What beautiful hair you have, child" she said furiously, not knowing what else to say. "I thou!" murmured the young woman whimlessly "It's pleasant to feel soft and smooth, isn't it, not offering a slight resistance to stroking? It's modern, independent hair." This mood would never do. The prim New Englander saw it, "I say, Anna, what you need is to have a little wilt with your children. Mr. Temple will excuse you for a day, I know. You can run out to see them, and," "Oh, but I can't—I can't, you see," cried Anna in an extremity of desire and duty. "A day? Why, just in that very day the evidence I am seeking might come—a letter, a telegram, a telephone message. Look here, in the room, in the kitchen, in her desk, she took out a handkerchief. One corner of it was tiled in a hard knot over many tiny papers of paper. "As Mr Temple was leaving the room just before you came in he tore up this letter and threw it in the waste-basket, you understand? You ask me often why I am so mute in the mornings when' come down to breakfast. Well, it because I haven't slept. It's because I've been passing the night trying to piece together just, much scraps as these. Always—always with no result. "Nothing works against him. Every thing--every little bit of evidence works for him. A little side light on his splendid fighting qualities here; another on some unknown patrician set of kindness to some fellow being in the middle of a fight. I say, the whole of life seems to have got mixed-jumbled. Yet I must go on helping against hope for the children's sake." "Dearie, I know what I'll do. I run out myself tomorrow and see them and fetch you back direct word. Would you like it? For reply, in an abundance of gratitude, Anna drew, the older woman down to her and kissed her again and again. That afternoon, taking a stroll in the garden, Anna's heart felt lighter, and her dimples stirred incipently, remembering Mrs. Masqa's promise. "Tomorrow," she said softly, stopping for a second before a roosub and leanning her check down to one of the Glorie do Dijon triumphs. "Oh, tomorrow, please come quickly!" A thorn caught her skirt as she was in the act of moving on. "May I help?" naked Burton Templar asked. Burton had been reading in the lilith vine covered pagan, opposite, Cato, at his feet. Together, they extracted the skirt, a fragile texture transparent with lace, a faint perfume in it. It noticed that she wore a porte bouche on her arm with a turquoise in it. It made the blond look white, it made him look like a poorly composed broke the smell of formally which usually existed between them in the library. "Are you going farther down the path? May I walk, with you?" he asked, and, having received the assent of the judge, nudged unchallent. "If you wish," he beams. WILL JONES TOOHER THEN EXTRACTED THE SKIN. "Do you know what I was thinking about, Miss Dale, as I sat there in the pagoda? I was wondering where I had met you before. Since the very first day you came I have often wondered that. I have seen you before—oh, no, there is no doubt about it—where I can't recall." "In some other incarnation, I daze day, hugged her and it when you saw him shuffle from trees or not so long ago as that? Could it—yes, she would tempt the fate and be downright contemptuous—could it have been in the days when I was in the Exchange building. One meets so many—" "The Exchange building? Ah, precisely. I recall it all now, and how I used to find myself unwittingly looking for you after that first day. But I was called upon, and when I came back you had vanished." He spoke more. "The first day? I don't quite understand, opened she "I was coming down in the elevator, harried to death my mind in a frightful state of turnoff. I found you watching me from some crowded corner, and I looked directly into your eyes." She studied her now with a smile serious and tender "I looked, and it was like bathing one's face in water." After a hot journey "she ended simply. It came back with such unmistakable vividness to Anna that she spoke spontaneously." "You did look worried." "Oh, you remember, too?" he cried, "I can't tell you how good that makes me. I couldn't get you out of my mind somehow. You see, I never did get you out of my mind. Some faces stay with us. You's stayed." The woman beside him had become very grave, feeling the heat of her pulse quicken with the distant arge of a strange joy, a joy indistinct as the tremor of an unison哭, yet all pervasive. Realizing her danger, defy she weared her mood. "Yes, I passed our old elevator boy on the street a few months ago," she remarked casually, stooping to pat the face, though it had been over a decade since I saw him. The man's face was rueful as he nodded appreciation for her tacets. Below them was the broad expanse of the Hudson, scintillating as a saphire in the glow of the summer afternoon. A sailing party steaming up river waved hats and handkerchiefs at them in pure good fellowship. It seemed good to be alive. Temple pulled two chairs under the shade of the trees, and they sat down. In the distance the cliffs of the Palladine rose and beckoned alluringly. "Do you know what I used to call them, those cliffs?" said he, seeing his companion's eyes upon them. "My enchanted palaces. When I was a child the palace of cimentment meant the future, the mysterious, inofficable future when I should be grown up, when I should be a man, when the world would be my garden, the world and life and all their riches mine to possess, and the people by whom the world and the future were inhabited, the caravailing knights, the lovely princesses. Love and glory and all manner of romance. I had their for the wishing. Did you ever have such an enchanted palace, Miss Dale?" he asked he whimily. "Yes," acquiesced she softly, falling in with his mood, the sympathetic bond which always asserted itself when she was not on guard, drawing her once again. "Oh, yes! i, too, had my enchanted palace, a mang, pinnacleled built of gold and silver, ivory, alabaster and mother of pear; the foundlings in its courts ran with perfumed waters." Her voice trailed off dreamily, and Temple thrilled with the music of it. "And its pleasance was an orchard of pomegranates. One had no need to spare one's colors, you know." She turned to him with an I know you. "He was at one with her now, responding intuitively to the play of her emotions." "And the stars left their courses to fight for you, and the winds of heaved vied with each other to prosper your galeons—want it like that?" He looked at her; she was learched listening; she was watching the sunlight catching on the tops of the Paladines. It was just as well; he was safer in his inspection of her so. "U-buh! Like that," she said, her arms mechanically following his words. "I dare say," she went on musingly, "must he that we pass the enchanted palace while we are asleep. Surely, at first, it is before us—we can see it glintening in the distance, like the peaks yonder. We shall reach it tomorrow, next month, next year. And it will be behind us. We must up and it and it is behind us. We must and we can't turn back. We must go. Her voice-ended in a little half sob. The sight of a tear trembling on her lashes cost Burton Temple a hundred conflicts with himself. He felt a sudden warmth behind his eyes and in his throat. "All he did, however, was to look big, his tongue and envy the dead their enforced responsibility, "I'm not often agitated," said Anha, raling, with an aid "slary, smile, "and you must person me that display or overdress it." But before he could have spoken, "I must really go in now." I've promised Mrs. Mason to play a game of pachiai or cribbage, or something," she faltered. So Temple, elaborately commissuring, escorted her up the red gruel path. Anna was growing excessively uneasy. For quite two hours now she'd been unexcited expecting Mrs. Mason's return from Westfield. What could be the matter? At the very least it must be the messies. Finally, however, her elder friend came in smilingly, disarming all fears. "And how's the new nurse getting on with them? Does she make Robbie wear his rubbers on wet days? Is his cold quite gone? Is Harold's finger well again? Have they did that horrid penkite?" Anna was untying Mrs. Mason's veil and pouring out her questions in a torrent. Mrs. Mason assured her that the boys were both well and happy, that the new nurse was doing beautifully and that, except for a few hours when the rascales had her locked in the chicken house, she was having a fine time. "Oh, she won't mind an inconsequential thing like the chicken house," laughed Anna, handing Mrs. Mason her well plops, "when once she's used to those boys." They locked their mother in one door and to speak them. "Little dears, Oh but I'm sick with lounging for them-sick" "I know, dearle," soothed Mrs. Mason, putting her on the back. "But I've something else to tell you. You couldn't guess why I was so late coming back? No? Well, I've been up to Robert." "You have!" Anna started no so slightly. "Is- is he well? Is he keeping up? What did he think about my being here?" "Oh, he's well, and he's keeping up. They're all very good to him. They are there through a miscarriage of justice. They treat him kindly. They're made him what they call a "grus." Anna was listening with strained attention. "You explained to him, didn't you, Mrs. Mason? You made it clear just why I left home? You made him understand that I am in a position here to find out the truth that will convict you, Mrs. Mason. Mrs. Mason plucked several imaginary threads off her skirts to hide her confusion. "At first, you know," went on Anna, "I thought it best not to let him know about my having left home. I know he would worry about the boys. But a few days ago I managed to get him and now, what does he say." Mrs. Mason still faltered. Her conscience would not permit her to tell less than the whole truth; nevertheless, she longed for some fashion in which to put it gently. "Well, he said, dear--he turned white and said he didn't want you to remain in this house. Said it didn't matter. You said you home with the children than here in Temple's house." Anna smiled "indulgeably." "Poor boy! He afraid the work will prove too hard for me. It won't. I fasten the crime yet, though it may break my heart." The final words were almost choked. She walked across to the window and stood staring out at the grim prison there. It was a little trick she had learned whenever she wished to steel herself in the fight she had undertaken. Presently she turned back—a dumb, pathetic perplexity in gray eye. "Oh, if I could get back to the condition, in which I entered this house to the clear air where there are no obscurities, no mysteries"—She spoke half to herself, but the woman in the little whips on Mrs. Mason's curtains. "What obscurities, what mysteries are you talking off?" she said sternly, "I don't understand." "No more do I—no more do it" Anna twisted and untwisted her hands in silence for a moment. "Only this I know," she said at last. "When I came here I could harden my heart and come to wage war. I could continually remember his responsibility for Robert's imprisonment. Oh, I could fight fairly and squarely. But now—" "It's strange," she went on reflectively—"strange. Now I always have to bring myself up with a deliberate effort. I have to think to hate him—I don't hate him intuitively any more. I have to think that I would voice softer oddly—"I can't describe it. He's strong, somehow. He's big and deep and earnest and illimitable strong. He draws one." CHAPTER VI. DUTY AND DESIRE. "ANA GRANGER, I'm ashamed of you, ashamed! I could tell you what the trouble is. Oh it's a degenerate age! Duty and messed me up till you don't know which is which. You can shuffle them to suit your conscience—if by reason of a few decent ancestors a person happens to have a conscience! Don't you think I've seen this thing coming. Anna? Don't you think I've been deploring the situation, doing my best to straighten it out? Why have I been harping on the children, the children, the children? Because I saw you the only king's head left to fall back upon; because I saw you were already forgetting your poor martyr husband. Oh. I've seen this man's eyes following you with the lock that can only mean one thing! I've seen"— "Mrs. Mason, it isn't true, it isn't true" Anna recooled in horror. "Is it kind, is it bearable that you should say such things to me? I have not deserved them: No, no. I have not! What right have you? I can't protect myself, I can't escape you. But—" Angela's voice flickered with passion of anger, pain, isolation and yet something else, the note of something newborn and transforming. "What right!" repeated Mrs. Mason in sharp tones of satanism: "The right of duty, the right of one-honest woman speaking to another who also wishes to keep honest. The stern old Pastor, housekeeper had made Robert Ganger stand for a leading principle. She was a woman of little individuality, quite away from her own gender identity, the one she had been taught to embrace, and the principles over her armor, who automatic impulses, dating, back to her foremothers. She had been brought up with the view that all behavior was right or wrong, correct or incorrect, as if it were not much else besides, as if it between black and white there were not many colors, all the colors of the spectrum. In fact, (1) And so to the bowed young woman before her she continued with her oracular motuces on right living and sure results, plain, one sided duty. Anna was vaguely conscious that Life Oracle was still in among the living. She heard no particular word, just the patterning murmur of word upon word ponderously delivered. "A letter for you, sir, brought by messenger," said the butter, presenting an envelope to Burton Temple. "From the detective bureau," commented he, teaching it open. And Gra- WILL JONES! "BLICK PEW!"—$90,000 IN NEW YORK CENTRAL ven, who had been pacing up and down the library excitedly, blurted out "Read it. Tell it. Nothing can come too soon, I tell you. Your indictment is hanging over your head like the sword of Damascus attached by a hair." "We have discovered," read Temple hastily, the woman for whom party has spent large sums of money, dating from time party is supposed to have been held in Rose Fanchon. Party spent a good deal of money on her but large part invested in New York Central. Securities held in party's own name, but the dividend order makes the dividend payable to the woman.

Hoping our work has been satisfactory and that we shall speedily be in a position to give you everything you desire, very truly, etc., "rattled off Temple. "You know," commented Craven, rubbing his lean jaw with apprehension, "follow Granger. Slick pup--$80,000 in New York Central and the dividend only to Rosie. Kepten big, stout rope on his benefaction, didn't he?" "Looks good, eh?" said Temple cheerfully, tapping the letter. "Looks good, yes, but you've got to have something that *Does* more than 'look good, old man.' You've got to have a knockout piece of evidence. Brady's going to go on the stand and perjure himself; you need a perjure somebody else if he could invade the crime," agreed Temple bitterly. A bitter mood, however, could never endure long with Burton Temple. The boy in him would never be downed. He crossed to his pipe neck, extracted his favorite mechamcham and was soon leaking back luxuriously in his chair while Craven scratched away with his goose quill. "You know, Craven, he said, 'there's no use crossing a bridge till you come to it, and, somehow, I think my luck is going to be better than that, my new secretary is responsible. She infuses me with that indomitable quality called 'hope.'" "She's a capable woman," agreed Craven grudgingly. "You'll miss her common sense and same, businesslike ways when Miss Grannith returns." "Oh?" asked Craven, coming back from his space staring with a start. Then he laughed infectionally. "Oh, yes, I shall miss her common sense and businesslike ways"—puff, puff, puff, from his pipe. "Never married, did you, Craven?" "Still same, thanks," contemptuously, while the goose quill ran a race with the pipe puffs and outdistanced them. "Fair of oldools, you and I"—puff, puff. "You know, Craven, that girl has a delicious life. If she sang it would be a mozo." Craven looked up over his glasses in disgust. "What in thunder are you driving me, the crieed." Craven laughed to Craven. "I hope there's driving at happiness. Craven, there's one thing I'll tell you straight. If this case turns out right and my honor's vindicated I'm going to marry, provided, of course, she will have me," he added teerily. Some few weeks earlier the grim lawyer would have starred, eyed and mouth wide open, at such an announcement. Some few weeks earlier he would scaffold at the notion of such a thing coming to pass, and would have demonstrated reason for the war that was impossible for Burton Temple, with his keen knowledge of the world, of the innumerable vanities and whims of womankind, ever to go the way of all flesh. But the problem, like the puzzle of the Elastic philosophers, had solved itself, "Achilles cannot catch the tortoise," but he does. It was impossible for Burton Temple to faint in love. He could not. He could head his heady admiration. "Are you ready to dictate your letters, Mr. Temple?"

(Allen's National News Bureau.) New York City November 27—Thanksgiving, the national holiday was fittingly observed in the Metropolis. Various entertainments, dinners and religious services made the day notable and will be a long time before Afro-Americans in the Metropolis will forget the day. New York known for its hustle and bustle took the day off and joined with the Nation in rendering thanks unto the Lord for his many blessings. The poorer families of the Metropolis notably those who live in the East side and who ecko out a living from year to year had cause to be thankful for ample provision was made for their comfort. At the Young Men's Christian Association, as well as the Y. W. C. A. and other institutions, special Thanks giving dinner was served and an open house was kept for visitors and strangers. Various other house socials and other events added to the significance of the day. The annual union Thanksgiving service of all the churches was held at St Marks M. E. Church in West 53d Street. The service was a notable one and a large attendance was noted. Special Thanksgiving music was rendered by a Choir representing the various churches who joined in the service. The annual Thanksgiving Sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. W. R. Lawton, pastor of the St. James Presbyterian Church and one of the most noted pastors in the Metropolis. The sermon of Dr Lawton was optimistic and a review of the progress the Negro has made during his 40 years' existence as free men. Dr Lawton said although the situation of the Negro was critical, we had something to be Thankful for. The sermon of Dr. Lawton was one of the best discourses heard on a similar occasion. Other noted divines present and who participated in the services were Revs. W. H Brooks of St. Marks M. E. Church, G. H. Simms of Union Baptist Church, H. A. Booker of St. Paul Baptist at Church, W. P. Hayes of Mt Olivet Baptist Church; F. A. Cullen of Salem M. E. Church and Rev. Blahop of St. Phillips, P. E. Church. The Union Service is a movement which began among the clergymen several years ago and has since become the custom. The aim of the meeting is to bring all the churches together once a year in annual Thanksgiving and talk over the general progress that has come to the race during the year. Since the inauguration of the Union service much has been accomplished to bring the churches together. MEMORIAL MEETING FOR WEN DELL PHILLIPS. Afro-Americans of the Mot洛朋ts went down on record in honoring the memory of Wendell Phillips, the noted Abolitionist and champion of human cause. Two notable meetings were held in the Mot洛朋ts in honor of Phillips and each of them was largely attended and noted for the unbound enthusiasm of the gatherings. Perhaps the most notable was the one held at St. James Presbyterian Church under the auspices of the New York Historical and Literary Society. This meeting was interesting from the large number of prominent men and women attended and the list of well known people dressed the meeting. A feature of the meeting was the singing of antebolium songs by a picked quartetto, Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, who often been called Andrew Carnegie's double and who has long been identified with national life neglected. In an address characteristic of the Ex-Governor the life and works of Phillips were reviewed and the audience heard how he sacrificed his life for the liberty of the Nogro and how he helped to create a favorable sequel in his behalf. The principal address was delivered by Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who has recently gone into journalism. The address of Col. Simmons was in keeping with his general reputation as an orator. Mrs. Ardello Mitchell recited several poems appropriate for the occasion. Others present and spoke were Dr. A. S. Reed, President of the Society and A. M. Robinson a graduate of Yale College. The meeting was a notable one. THE SECOND MEETING The second meeting in honor of Wendell Phillips was held at the old Henry Ward Beecher Church in Brooklyn. The meeting which was attended by a large number of whites was held under the auspices of the National Association for the Advance mont of Colored People. The speakers were Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, pastor of Bethol A. M. E. Church; W. E. B. DuBois of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Oswald G. Villard of the Evening Post and Rev. Dr. John Hayes Holmes, pastor of the Church of the Messiah. Like the meeting at St. James, a feature was the singing of ante-bolium songs by a choir of trained colored singers. PROF.

Besides erecting a new school Prof Mitchell aims to build a Negro colony in the Alabama section of his School. The Colony is to be a model Negro community to be controlled entirely by members of the race. Although the loss to Prof. Mitchell was heavy, he has come North confident that he will raise the amount necessary to carry out his plans. $50,000 is the amount Prof. Mitchell hopes to raise and he has already been promised aid by the influential white citizens of Alabama if he are willing to bring a certain amount. The proposition states that if he raises $7,50,000, he will be give an additional $26,000 and his plans will be realized. Prof. Mitchell has set about to raise the amount and is meeting with considerable encouragement. A large Mass Meeting in the interest of the movement at which many prominent men will speak will be held at St. Marks M. E Church in the near future. Prof. Mitchell has an interesting career and his story of a hard struggle in working his way upward. He graduated from Tulane University and shortly after graduation founded the West Alabama Institute-for-young men and women. The School has had a fast growth and was becoming a noted educational center. COLONEL SIMMONS BACK IN JOURNALISM. Col. Roscoe Cockling Simmons who recently resigned his post as editor of the New York Age has gone back to Journalism. He will edit a national weekly in New York and aims to make it one of the strongest newspapers of the race. The news of Mr. Simmons' intention of remaining in the Metropolis and edit a weekly will be received by his many friends gladly. As an editorial writer, Mr. Simmons has come into much prominence. He has a large number of friends who are anxious to see him succeed. He made a tour of Virginia recently and was greeted on all sides. The news service of the now weekly will be furnished by 'Allen's National News Bureau. BISHOP WALTERS HEADING HOMEWARD. Bishop Alexander Walters, the noted Zion Churchman and race champion and who has been in the South holding his annual conferences is due to arrive in the Metropolis about December 6th. Information reached this bureau that while South Bishop Walters made many notable addresses and was the recipient of much attention. The Bishop has much ahead of him this year and will be one of the speakers at the large mass-mooting to be held at Mt Olive Baptist Church December 12th in the interest of the "On to Washington Movement." Bishop Walters promises to give out some interesting statements on reaching the Metropolis that will be presented over the largest conference in the connection, the North Carolina Conference. In the Metropolis Bishop Walters wields considerable influence and is regarded as one of the most prominent Churchman in the country. His Episcopal residence in the Metropolis is the scene of many brilliant and intellectual gatherings. The rumor sent out from Thompson's National News Bureau some time ago of Bishop Walters' intention of giving up his residence here created much air in the Metropolis. The Bishop denied the rumor, who was good news to his friends in the city. Bishop Walters stands high in professional circles and is easily the most distinguished prelate in the race. At the great Ecumenical Conference held at Toron to Canada a few weeks ago, unusual honors came to Bishop Walters. DR. CORROTIERS AND THE BISHOPRIG. The minds of Zionites are centered on Charlotte, N. C. the scene of the General Conference, which meets in May, 1912. Besides the general officers which are to be elected, the most interesting feature will be the election of the three new Blisshops Prominent among the candidates in the Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, the noted Washinholt- divine and pastor of the Gathralth A. M. E.

News. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 21, 1911. Rev. Mrs. Dollie Lewis has just closed a ten-night revival in Pasadena and of Scotts Chapel, with great success. She has now returned to Los Angeles and has opened meetings at the New Hope Baptist Church. She preached the first sermon Sunday evening, November 19th, to an overwhelming audience, and the pastor, Rev. C. H. Anderson, is very much enthused over the beginning of the revival. The Western Amusement Club of L. A. has volunteered to give an all-star concert for the benefit of Wesley Chapel M. E. Church on Friday, December 1st, at T. M. A. Hall, 231 South Spring street. The proceeds of this concert will go toward the increase of the great rally funds which begins on December 3d. It is indeed commendable to the club to give their concert for this worthy cause. We trust you will remember December 1st and give us your patronage. Dr. H. K. Walker, pastor of Emanuel Presbyterian Church of our city, addressed the young men's meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, November 18th. His address was highly appreciated by a large enthusiastic audience. CHILD BURNED TO DEATH The little three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, of 414 E. Third street met her death from being forlornly burned. The child had found a match and struck it, and in some way her dress caught fire. The little dear ran out or the front porch and when the fire began to scorch her skin she screamed, and the mother, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner, came to see what was the matter, and found her baby enveloped in blazes of fire. The mother's screams drew the father from the rear yard, who was successful' in catching the child, who had become so frightened that it ran, and the mother, being a very large woman, could not run fast enough to catch it. When the doctor wont to dress the wounds, it was so burned, that the flesh would drop off. The baby was conscious to the last and told the doctor of her striking the match.

MAYOR ALEXANDER ADDRESSES WOMENB. SUFFRAGR CLUB. On Monday evening, November 20, about three hundred women crowded the lecture room in the A. M E. Church to welcome their guest, in the person of Mayor Alexander, who spoke to them on the importance of how to cast their ballots in the coming election of December 6th. In part, he said: I am no stranger to the colored citizens of Los Angeles. I have been acquainted with the foremost colored citizens for a number of years. I have watched them as they have grown in prosperity and number. Your race has accomplished great things in this city, because of their loyalty to support the party that has stood for upright and clean government of Los Angeles. You all know that I am your present Mayor, and also know that I have spared no pain in trying to keep our city clean in order that all law-abiding citizens might be protected against all evils and lawlessness that have been trying to force their way into our beautiful city. I am not running for the office for the sake of the salary of $300 00 a month. I would' rather give my time to the city for nothing than to see it turned over into the hands of cutthroats, thugs and holdings. With all due respect for Mr. Harriman, the candidate for Mayor on the Socialist ticket, a man whom Los Angeles knows nothing about, who came to our city about four years ago. Some time after his arrival he began to practice law, and has succeeded in buying his office furniture and pays taxes to the amount of three hundred dollars a year. This is the extent of Mr. Harriman's personal property in the city, as he does not own any real estate. Now, then, are the people of Los Angeles going to trust their millions in the hands of a man who has no real personal interest, in the city? I will admit I have not done all the people expected of me, but will endeavor to do more to try to please the city of future that we have. We are all happy with our present condition, and with the expectation of greater things in the future. Lot is return to our offices on December 6. If you vote right, we will. I am told that the whole socialist party in Los Angeles is worth less than six thousand dollars. Everyone present seemed to enjoy the Mayor's address. The Mayor is now in his 73d year of age. After the Mayor's address instructions how to cast the ballot were given by Mrs. Galliph, who explained the ballot in detail and answered questions pertaining to it. This concluded the program for the evening. Twenty-four Hours Quicker Time to California.

Colored Men Acquitted in Buckingham Tragedy. WILLIE JACKSON IN VIVID WORD PICTURE Buckingham Witness, Tale of the Murder—Tells of the Awful Death of the Poor Stuart Brothers. The second day of the trial of Edward Jones, colored, of Buckingham, charged with the murder of the Stuart brothers in that county in April, 1909, began in the Corporation Court today. The Commonwealth continued its presentation of evidence. W. P. Ellis was first called, and on being handed the brass butt of a gun cartridge, taken from the scene of the crime, said that it was the same which he had picked up and had given to the officers. Robert W. Spencer, who lived in the vicinity of the murder and robbery, told of going to the place on Sunday morning following the murder and the burning of the house. He described the location of the bodies, and said that one of the bodies was minus the head, logs and arms. He told of his dealings with the Stuart brothers, who were customers for years. He said that the head which had been savored was filled with shot and one gentleman remarked: "This is what did the work, boys." This is so showed a clean cut, which had been charred by the fire. Mr. Lee asked the witness a question as to the location of the bodies. Witness said that the headless body was close up to the hearth, and the other body was at the end of the room in the opposite direction. The Roy. J. H. Harris, on his way to a church appointment, passed the scene of the crime, saying he stopped for a moment bodios. He know nothing further. € WILLIE JACKSON CALLED. Willie Jackson, colored, told of going to the house of a man named Johnson. A colored man played the banjo, and he and another negro danced. Willie told of the coming to the home of Johnson of Eddie Jones, Richard Perkins and Dallas-Wright. All of them had guns, and as they stopped up on the porch the charges were taken from the guns and later the charges were put back in the guns. A statement was made by Eddie Jones to the effect that the party was going over to the Stuarts to have some fun. Witness was told that if he said a word he would be killed and he was forced to go along and to keep watch at a rumbl tree within fifty yards of the home of the Stuarts, and Aylett Johnson was posted for a similar purpose near a bridge. He said he heard a rumblift in the house and then a gun was fired. Witness continued: "I then went to the house, where Jones, Perkins and Wright were. I saw Eddie Jones tipping the larger one of the Stuarts on the head with an axe, telling him to say where his money was. Mr. Stuart told where the money was. It was given to Eddie Jones. Eddie gave each of the men $50. Richard Perkins cut off the man's head." The witness said that he was not given a cent of the money, nor was Aylett Johnson. They were told that if they said a word they would be killed. Jones said that they had "fired" the Stuarts. After the man had been killed oil was poured on the bodies and the place set on fire. Witness had told a Mr. Carter of his knowledge of the burning. The matter had, he said, preyed on his mind and he was forced to tell some one. IN JAIL TWO YEARS. Willie Jackson said that he had been in jail in Buckingham, for two and a half years. He denied, in reply to questions, that not one of the lawyers on either side of the case had ever discussed the matter of the crime with him, unless in company with officers. He denied that he had been offered any reward or promises of any kind in connection with the case. Witness said: "Jones and Perkins came in while witness and Aylett Johnson were dangling. The two men, Jones and Perkins, did not dance, they being members of the church." CROSS-EXAMINED BY LEB. Mr. Lee took the witness in hand and began to ply him with questions. The questions came with rapidity and force, but the witness stuck to his original story. He made negative replies to most of the interrogatories, and it was to impress these denials that the questions were aimed. "Soon after Mr. Wright arrived at the home of Charity Johnson, he said to Jones and Porkins: 'Come on, boys.' All three of the men said to him and to Johnson that if they did not go along they would be killed." That was what witness said in reply to a question from Mr. Lee as to what took place at the home of Charity Johnson. For a considerable time there was a fixing of locations and distances. Witness said that the night was awfully dark, and that when the party got to the home of the Stuartia the mon told him to go on to the chory tree, and that if he heard any one coming to whistle, and to whistle loudly. Just as he got, the chicken house he saw the mon make a light. He declared that the only reason he did not run was that he was scared. Johnson said that he was standing at the cherry tree when the gun went off. Mr. Lee here took up the printed record in the former trial and read from the cross-examination of wif- ness. On that trial he is quoted as saying that Eddie Jones fired the gun. Today he declared that the stenographic report was incrobb. LOOKED THROUGH THE WINDOW. Just as soon as he heard the gun fired witness ran to the house and looked through the window. The larger Mr. Stuart was standing up in the floor and Eddie Jones was picking him on the head with an axe. When Mr. Stuart told him where the money was Eddie Jones took up the stope in the hearth and got the money. Eddie Jones put the money in his pocket. When they had gotten the money Eddie Jones and Dallas Wright soiled Mr. Stuart and threw him down, and Richard Perkins took the axe and completely severed his head with one blow of the weapon. Witness said that Eddie Jones was nastride the man above the waist, with Dallas Wright at the feet. He was positive of this. The other Mr. Stuart was lying on the floor already dead. Witness did not hear Mr. Stuart say a word or plead to be spared. RECOURSE TO RECORD. Mr. Lee asked the witness if he had said at a previous trial that Dallas Wright was sitting on the man's breast and Jones at the feet. He declared he had made no such statement. Then Mr. Lee again read the record in the case, certified by the court as correct, and which is to be found in the printed record. Witness said that the record was "a big mistake." Witness said that the men, after pouring the oil on the floor and on articles in the house, lit the oil with a match. The record shows that at the first trial the man had used matches, and at the second trial he said it was fired by using a miner's torch. Today he said matches were used. WILLIE IS CONFUSED. As to Aylett Johnson, witness declared that he saw him peep through a crack. The record shows that witness says he saw Aylett Johnson come up, and today he says he saw Aylett Johnson peeping. He now says that he did not see the man come up, whereas on the previous trial he declared that he saw Aylett coming up before he began to peep through the crack. Witness said that there was under the stone in the hearth $150 in cash —paper, gold and silver. There were three gold pieces. The money was counted near the bridge, a single match being used to furnish the light while the count was being made. He said that, he left the men and went home. Witness declared that he had not talked with a Mr. Rice and stated to him that all he know about the case was what Mr. Eddie Carter had told him. He said that it was not true that Mr. Carter had said that he would see that he and Aylott got $60 each. Witness had never talked with Mr. Rice in his life. (Both Carter and Rice have died since the last trial.) OFFERED HIM $ONEY Willie Jackson created something of a sensation when he declared that Jail Guard Hillard, of Buckingham, had come to him, and offered to give him $60 to change his testimony at the next trial. He had refused the offer. Witness said that the offer of $60 had been made to him the day following his being removed from the cell in which he and Aylett Johnson were confined. They had had a fight. It w. he shown from the record in the former trial that witness had said to him that he (witness) had been offered money in connection with his testimony. AYLETT JOHNSON CALLED. Aylett Johnson, another of the boys who had been stationed by Dallas Wright, Richard Parkins and Eddie Jones to act as guards when they went to the home of the Stuartes, was called. He narrated many incidents of the evening, tallying with what Willie Jackson had said. He declared that Dallas Wright had said to him that if he did not go along he would be killed. He did go, and when he got near the Stuart home he was posted to keep watch and to make an outfit in case anyone was seen or heard coming in any direction. Commonwealth's Attorney. Hubard, for the State, asked if Dallas Wright was in the habit of visiting the home of the mother of the witness. Defense objected and the objection was sustained. Witness said that he had told Mr. Frank Spencer, of the matter of the burning, and did so of his own accord. He had not been threatened or promised any reward for making his statement, which was made to Mr. Spencer the Sunday following his arrest. He denied that he had been promised anything for testifying in connection with the case. TAKEN BY DEFENSE. Mr. Leo, for the defense, took witness in hand, and began a skillful line of questioning. Witness said that when he got home, he found Willie Jackson, Eddie Jones and Richard Forkins already there. Dallas Wright came up in about fifteen minutes. Witness said that Willie, Richard and Eddie and himself all danced. Willie Jackson said he had come to go fishing, and insisted that they go. Finally witness went with Willie and cut the holes and placed them in the chimney corner. Willie's kuffe was used. This part of Johnson's testimony is in direct conflict with Jackson's testimony, who said that they did not cut any fishing poles that night. The record shows that witness had, at the former trial, said that only Willie Jackson, Richard Perkins and Dallas Wright had been at his house twenty minutes before witness and Jackson went to go to get the poles. Today he declares that Wright came a few minutes after he and Jackson had gotten back from the quest for the poles. Witness said that Dallas Wright had a double-barrelled shotgun, wheron Jackson said it was a single-barrelled gun. STARTIING CONTRADICTIONS. At the last trial of the case Johnson said that he saw a light in the house before the men entered, and therefore before the shooting. Today he said there was no light in the place. When the shooting took place he ran nearly all the way home and then came part of the way back. There is another conflict with Jackson, who says that Johnson did come up to the scene of the killing and that he saw him pooping through a crack. Witness said that the money was counted by Edulie Jones and that Richard Perkins struck three matches. Jackson says that only one match was struck. The witness failed to remember many details of the former trials, and made repeated contradictions, many of them conflicting with the records MR. WOOLDRIDGE DELIBERATE. James J. Woodridge, of Buckingham, told of the finding of the bodies. He said that the heavy timbers were still burning. He spoke with considerable deliberation. He said that one body was found under the bed, under the stairway, and was pulled out by one of the men who had gone to the fire. That was about 8 o'clock n the morning. At 1.30 o'clock the court took a recess until 4 o'clock. (Richmond Journal, Nov 22, 1911) Lee's Charge as to Buckingham Murder Evidence Sharply Resented by Hubard. In his opening statement before the jury in the trial of Edward Jones, colored, charged with complicity in the murder of the Stowart brothers in Buckingham county, Attorney John L. Lee, of the defense, yesterday charged that unfair methods had been used in procuring evidence for the Commonwealth against the negro. He said that he would put on the stand a witness who would say that he overheard Ayllet Johnson and Willie Jackson, star witnesses for the prosecution, wrangling over the murder case, and that Jackson admitted to him that the testimony he gave against the accused was false. Mr. Lee went on to say that this witness would say that Johnson told him he was coerced into giving his testimony, and that Jackson was induced to give false testimony by the offer of a part of the award. The allegation was judgiciously denied by E. W. Hubard, Commonwealth's attorney of Buckingham county, where the crime was committed, and for a moment there threatened to be a clash between the two lawyers. They were called sharply to order by Judge Witt, and Mr. Lee went on with his opening statement. Later he further charged that one of the men was strung to a limb in a vain effort to force him to make damaging confessions. Much delay was consumed in getting a jury, which was not completed until 1 o'clock. Richard Perkins is accused jointly with Jones, but the man will be tried separately. They come up now on second trial, the verdict of guilty in the first trial having been set aside by the Supreme Court. Feeling in Buckingham county after the murder and arson ran high, and a change of venue was granted. The negroes are represented by Mr. Lee, former State Songtor Aubrey Brodo and Judge A. S. Hall. Commonwealth's Attorney Hubard is being assisted by Commonwealth's Attorney Folkes. Dallas Wright, a white man, who was tried and convicted and sentenced to death, is now in the Henrico county jail awaiting the result of the trial of the two negroes. Acquittal of them would probably mean favorable action in his behalf, as they were all charged jointly with the murder of the Stewart brothers in April, 1908. (Times-Dispatch, Nov. 22, 1911) White Man In the Stintt Murder Case to Be Pardoned—In Hustings Court. Dalhia Wright, white, and Eddie Jones and Richard Porkins, colored, all of the county of Buckingham, twice sentenced to die in the electric chair for the Stintt brothers murder in that county more than two and a half years ago, will go free. A jury in the Hustings Court today found a verdict of acquittal in the case of Jones and Porkins after a trial lasting for three days. Governor Mann will pardon Wright. Eddie Jones was the man on trial, he having been granted a new hearing by order of the Supreme Court of Appeals. The jury acted today on the advice of the attorney for the Commonwealth. Misstest Felkus who declared that he had followed the case from the beginning with all the care that he could command. He declared that he was an officer, and that before he could ask a jury to convict a man of murder in the first degree he must be convinced in his own mind that murder was the nature of the evidence as to carry that belief. In this case he did not that such evidence had been adduced. He could not ask that the jury convict, but left the matter wholly in the hands of the members of the jury. That body took just five minutes to write the verdict acquitting Jones, who, when ordered to stand up and heard, the verdict read, grinned and said: "I thank you, sir." JURY AGREED LAST NIGHT After the verdict had been read and the formal proceedings ended, the members of the jury stood in line in front of the judge's bench and informed the judge and the attorneys for the prosecution that they had reached a verdict last night—that returned today. Third were just two witnesses of consequence in the case — Willie Jackson and Aylett Johnson. They had made all sorts of conflicting statements before the jury, had contradicted each other, had denied the accuracy of court and stenographic records and could not remember essential facts regarding themselves NOI, PROS, PERKINS CASE . Immediately following the acquittal of Jones the attorney for the defenses called attention to the fact that Richard Perkins was also a party to the case; that he stood on all fours with the case against Jones, and asked that an order be entered dismissing the indictment against him. The attorney for the State agreed to this; saying that the evidence against Perkins would be nothing more than that which had been presented to the court in the case against Jones, and so the formal order was entered, and so the afternoon Richard Perkins will walk from the city jail a free man for the first time since April 17, 1909. WILL PARDON DALLAS WRIGHT Dallas Wright will be pardonal today by Governor Mann. He is in the Hennicoe county jail. He was convicted in the cases along with the two negroes, but because of an error in the record and in the certifying of the exceptions and appeal noted his case could not be reviewed by the Court of Appeals, and so he's sentence of death stood against him, and the negroes were given a new trial. The Governor is cognizant of these facts, and he granted a stay in the case of Wright ill such time as the cases against the negroes had been disposed of. He declared that whatever the final courts did in the cases of Jones and Perkins he would see was visited on Wright. the same evidence having been employed to convict him that had been used in the cases against the negroes Just as soon as the court had ordered Richard Perkins released the attorneys for the defense—Messrs John L. Lee, Aubrey E. Strode and Judge Hall, the latter of Buckingham—went over to see the Governor and to lay the facts in connection with the Wright case before him. THE EVIDENCE TODAY. Today the State began the presentation of evidence in rebuttal, and called several persons who had testified before. Sherif Lewis Williams was called to the witness stand, and the statement, in part, of W. J. Hollard, made yesterday. Mr. Hellard, who had been a guard at the Buckingham county jail during the incarceration of Johnson and Jackson, testified to having heard the two negroes quarrel, when Jones stated to his partner that he know nothing of the murder and was not going to tell his story because he had received no payment. It was related that Johnson had said that the authorities told him they would kill him if he didn't stick to his story. After the quarrel Jackson was placed in a cell to himself, from where he would be taken to the jail, and stated on the stand that he informed the jailer of what had transpired between the two negroes, and was told to keep his mouth shut. Then he stated, he went to see Commonwealth's attorney: Ed George W. Hubard, who said: "By George, keep that quiet. Don't say anything about it." Later he called on Attorney Bontwright and told him the same thing. Mr. Williams declared that the statement of Hollier is not true, and that he know nothing of the matter. Hollier was reported to have said that Shorif Williams, Mr. Carter and others were present at the time. F. H. Spencer, E. B. Lovell and Fred Hollier all declared that there was nothing in the report that Jackson and Johnson had discussed the matter of not getting pay for their former testimony, as related by W. J. Hollier on yesterday. Fred Hollier said that his brother had asked him to come to Richmond and to back him up in what he said, but he had told him he could not do so. Edmund Huber, attorney for the Commonwealth, took the stand. He made a flat dent of the story told by W. J. Hollier, that Huber had urged him to say nothing about the conversation between Hollier and Johnson. (Richmond Journal, Nov. 23, 1911) SEE WM. CARTER 721 N. SECOND ST. For Correct Plumbing, Steam and Gas Pitting Town, Muncie, 1866 Father of Girl He Attacked Pleads That Law Take Its Course Springhill, Kans., Nov. 25.—To save the name of Kansas a father Friary prevented the lynching of a negro who had attacked his daughter. While Clarence Davis, a young negro, sat shackled to a chair in a pool hall 200 men who had captured him for an attempted assault on Ruth Fike, 14 years old, argued the question of taking the law into their own hands. Twenty speeches were made. At last a tall farmer pulled the negro towards the door and cried: "Come son boys, we'll burn the second at the stake." Willng hands dragged the negro to the street. At this juncture J. A. Fike, father of the girl attacked, arrived. Pushing aside the mob, he reached the negro's side. Addressing himself to the crowd, he declared that the men must disperse and let the law take its course. "This is undoubtedly the man who attempted a vicious crime on my daughter," he said. "but 'Judge Lynch' does not live in civilized Kansas any more. To burn this fellow to death will only scandalize the country. Let the law take its course. After a conference the mob turned the negro over to Fike, who took the culprit to the sheikh. THIBODAUX. Negro Boy Alleged to Have Been Beaten and Shot by White Citizens. Thibodaux, Ln., Nov 23.—Proliminary investigation was started yesterday in the matter of the beating of a young negro boy, Maimy Shanklin, who was sent from here last Friday, having been beaten on the night previous by a crowd of white citizens. The affair happened in the First Ward of this parish Yostonday on complaint made by Constable Henry Bergeron, of the First Ward, the case was aired before Judge Chas. J. Coulon, District Attorney H. M. Bourg being present. A number of negroes were present, and from the evidence adduced only one party's name was mentioned, although the witnesses said there were some ten or twelve in the party, one witness stating that he could identify the name of the parties. The case was continued until a later date, when the victim, now at the Charity Hospital, could be secured and other witnesses had. The dogro boy had gotten in trouble with a white boy in this town and got the better of the white boy, and the party went up to chastise him. The boy is alleged to have been beaten over the body and head, and, it is said, was shot through the arm. $3.50 Recipe Free. For Weak Men.

(Continued From Sixth Page.) fession was made to him on Nov 9, and that he communicated it to the father of the prisoner and to Mr Fix Mr Dennis added that the strain of the ordeal had had its effect upon Him, and that he could not have stood it much longer SUNRISE FUNERAL BEFORE MOR COMES Beattie Sleeps Near Grave of Wife He Killed—Sun Scarcely Up When Body is Removed From Home to Cemetery. After life's fitful fever, Henry Clay Bountie Jr. self-confessed and penitent wife murderer, sleeps well While the sun was yet low in the far horizon, and with only a few of his own beloved about the grave, they laid him to rest at 7 30 o'clock yesterday morning. Frost lay upon the ground, and there was a biting chill in the air. Stark, gaunt trees held up their leafless branches in Maury Cemetery, where the boy now sleeps and along the sad driveway the grass had turned into its autumnal sheen Above a few clouds red-dlening in the dawn, streaked the sky, and here and there a few birds twittered mournfully from the boughs. The morning was bright and clear, and except for the few who had come to mourn and pay their last respects to the dend, there was no hint of sorrow in the dawning day BRIEF SERVICE AT HOME It had been planned to lay Henry Beattie to rest at 7 o'clock. It was half an hour later when the last sad rites were performed and the body settled into the bosom of eternal night. The pall-bearers and a few near friends gathered in the Beattie home shortly after 6 o'clock. Rev John J. Fix, who had accompanied the boy and consolled him during his last days on earth, read the short funeral service of the faith in which Henry had sought his last refuge. About the casket stood the gray-haired father, the faithful brother, the young sister, the two quants who had never forgotten the erring youth, and some of the friends of his boyhood. The short services over, the coffin was placed in a hearse and slowly the cortege moved to Maury Cemetery. A few women of the neighborhood. Keeper Jones and two police officers in plain clothes were waiting. The hearse stopped opposite the Beattle section, and the seven carriages containing the family and pall-bearers halted on either side. A light wagon, loaded down with flowers, had preceded TRANSFERRED TO GRAVE It was but the work of a moment to transfer the casket to the open grave. At its foot stood the immediate members of the dead boys family. All heads bowed as Mr Fix bent his brow and prayed over the body from which the soul had fled. His face haggard, drawn and deeply lined with the furrows of unutterable sorrow, the father clutched his daughter tightly by the arm and remained still, with his eyes fixed upon the grave. At the right stood the two nuns. On the left stood the brother. Relieved of their burden, the pill-bearers stood on the east side of the grave. Several of them - those who had been l belong friends of the dead youth - wept openly. One among them was he who had sacrificed his all to save his friend, he who had blackened his own character to spare stigma from the other's name. TEARS IN PREACHER'S EYES Though his voice was steady, Mr Fix could not keep back the tears. He had frequent recourse to his handkerchief. In the solemn stillness of the morning, interrupted only by an unsuppressed sob here and there the minister of God repeated the sacred words of burial His lips clenched tightly and with his arm clasped close to the girl by his side, the aged father listened to the comforting words said above his son Grim, unutterable grief was there, and about that never-to-be-forgotten picture of woe the hand must be drawn No eye was dry on the comma was lowered into the pit. It was an exact duplicate, silver braided, of that in which wife had been held to her eternal rest. They sleep side by side. At the head of the young wife's brave stands a granite memorial to her husband's mother. There is as yet no memorial to her name. At the head of the other grave are erected memorial stones, to a twin sister and brother of Henry Bontille. On the comma were inscribed the words, in a silver plate, "Henry Clay Bontille, Jr., twenty-seven years of age." The handles were of old silver. MAESES OF FLOWERS. Flowers were measured above both grayses. Chrysanthemums, pink and white roses and autumnal leaves were grown lavishly above the two A EXTRA!

At the foot and joining both was placed an arch built on two pillars of pink roses and crowned with roses of white. Woven among purple immortelles were inscribed the words, "United Beyond the River." Thus in this eternal sleep the young man and woman were united again by the unfailing love of their friends. Only a foot of sod separates them now. Near the boy sleeps his mother. And near is a place for him who shall follow next. The services were short and simple. Striving to keep back the tears, Mr Flx prayed in a soft, gentle voice for the welfare of Henry Beattie's soul. And some of those young men who had been Henry's best loved companions, and one who had been his chief attendant when he was wedded to Louise Wollford Owen, sobbed aloud in uncontrollable grief. Tears coursed down the cheeks of others who had never known the dead boy. It was no inexpressibly sad that none may Torget the day. SOUND OF FALLING EARTH As the fast words were said, men in charge stepped forward hurriedly and then came the drear sound of falling earth. It was soon over. The little mound was smoothed. Two little heaps of earth mark one the last resting place of Henry Beattie, the other that of the wife and mother he slow. Nothing divides them now. Their troubled fortunes are done, and in peace they slumber side by side. It was comfort to those who knew and loved him best that Henry confessed his sin before he went to the throne of God, and they left that double tomb with something akin to peace in their minds. As the last words were said, and just as the sun was more cheerily beckoning to an awakening world, the father and his young daughter passed around the grave. They stepped behind the stone erected to the memory of the dead youth's mother and at last, his Spartan stoicism broken, the aged father gave vent to an anguished sob. It was more than THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. Capitol Shoe & Supply Co's Store, 210 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. If You are Looking for Bargains Don't Miss This Sale.

He was immediately placed in a carriage, and the return to a cheerless and lonely home was begun. BEATTIE NAMED PALLBEARERS The pall-bearers remained behind for a few moments, and then they, too, wont away. They were Henry's best friends. When he knew that he was to die he selected them to bear his body to the grave. They were Royall Fendley, Hiram Walker, W. H Sampson, W. H Caudle, Jno Sandifer, Luther Wells, Marsden French and William H. Crawford Henry Beuttl and his wife sleep on the crest of a hill. He lives just to the east of her, and only a hit of sod is between. In life they were unhappy, but now they are bound together again by the cross of Christ and that love which will endure beyond the fading immortelles. One pillar of the binding arch rests at Henry's feet, the other at the foot of his bride. And across it, where the early morning sun shall shine and show them, are those words, "United Beyond the River." So it is, that the story of a world- known tragedy is told and done, and Henry Boattle sleeps within arm's reach of his own. FULL TEXT OF THE CONFESSION OF HENRY CLAY BEATRICE, JR.
