| The NEGRO CAsr.--The negro man John,
whose cries of s'Mur1cr!' .'Robbcr>n "Kid-
nappers!" alarmed the town on last Tuesday
week, is still in Elkton Jail. When he halloed
he was confined in the house Of Thomas Nc
Crcary, where he had been brought as McCrcary
states, the night previous by Elias a. Naudain
| of New Castle county, Del. The immediate
cause Of his QUERY was an attempt 10 handcuf
him, and the general impression is that if he had
not made himself heard AZ he did, he would have

with SHOW.
A brother of Mr.. McCrone, to whom he for
merly belonged, has since been here and states,
as we learn, that John was sold out Of New Cas-
tie jail for term of years, seven we believe,
not 10 be taken out Of the State. SO there is
some rascalty, beyond doubt, in his being
BROUGHT here and the matter will be lhuIOu1 bly,
sifed.
AT the same time there was found in the house
Of McCrcary, black woman who was brought
there with the man. She has been tanen back
to Delaware, we understand, by Mr.. McCronc.
1t appears that her nanle is Mary Ann Donegan;
that in May 1916, having been found guilty OF
larceny, she was sold out of New Castle Jail for
seven years, not to go out Of the State, and
