Who Started the First Penny-Lunchs"
To the Editor Of t,e National Repubiican:
SIR; Mrs. Roberts, of pcnny-lunch fame, in
her gossip to tho readers of the Capital Of
Sunday last, In speaking of the penny.lunch,
asks; 'why did not anyone start one before I
didH Why don't they do II now," ScH Now,
Mr.. Editor, wish to inform Mrs. Roberts and
the public, that tho penny lunch did not orig-
nate with her, nor was Mrs. Roberts the first
to start" one in this city. One year ago this
very month the writer opened the first penny
lunch In this city located No. 102, Four-snd-
a-half street. Mrs. Roberts also says, II will
tomorrow give up all my right aud title to
moneys, everything, IL anyone will take the
families have off my hands, all my RESPONSE
bility, worry, aud time" Now l will accept the
above offer just as made by MS. Roberts,
moneys, families, responsibility, worry, time
&c. In closing her gossip" Mrs. Roberts
says, 81 shall close the lunch.room for q few
days until can pay the back debt. The col
ored people ought to pay 1t, for l have fed
the people when they would have starved.
and IL the colored people eau do nothing
but give S25, why l must shape my course
accordingly will take it upon myself when
again open to discriminate, and II the colored
people are cowardly enough to be influenced,
why they must take care Of their own poor
and will look after and feed the white fam
lilies who are here In crowds wanting food"
Before reading the above | thought the Rob-
erts' penny lunch was a charity; but the
gossip gives information that l. rs well as
many Others, have been misled. We arc told
by All inspired writer that " charity envicth
not and seekcth not her own," aud the con-
trary ofthis Mrs. Roberts has given notice will be
the future course OF her penny lunch. Though
the writer has received no testimonial benefits
nor Congressional appropriation, yet the poor
turned-otf colored people are invited to oappcase
their hunger at the Industrial Home penny
lunch, s04 street northwest, along with the
thousands of others, white aud black, who for
many mouths have been fed there even with
or without tickets.

On this point lengthy argument was In
duged in by the counsel for the defense, and
numerous authorities cited to support the ap.
plication for the admission Of the testimony

previous ruling, declared the evidence admis-
sable, and, at the same time, expressed the
opinion that the grade Of the crime had been
reduced from murder.to mauslaughter but lie
did not know what view the jury would take
