Letha Matthews, cOlored woman of middle
age was convicted in the Criminal court
Justice Hagner, last Saturday of perjury. The
evidence was given on the trial Of Louisa
Wallace, now In the penitoutiary for inlsnti-
eide, and was for tho purpose of misleading
the jury as to the guilt of the hoartless mother
in slaying her babo, She testified in effect
that Louisa Wallace could not have given
birth to the child at the time aud place stated,
for two weeks previous, in another locality,
she visited the woman aud found her then the
mother Of an in FAINT three or four weeks old
The Government proved that this was an on
tirely false statement that Louisa Wallace
did not live at the place the woman L.tha
Matthews named, never had resided there,
and did not give birth 10 babe at the time
this woman swor0 to. Notice of motion for
new trial being given, sentence was sus.
pended. This is tho second woman convicted
Of perjury in connection with this case.
Fanny Smith, alias Indian Fanny, swore to
nearly the same story Us Letha Matthews, was
detected in her perjury, convicted, and is now
keeping Louisa Wallace CONT any in the Al
Lany penltenuary, where SHE was sent for
three years. The prospects are worry Rar that
Letha Matthews will join this select circle and
remain in their society for some time.

The Firth NIurderers.

The trial Of Babe Bedford, Sandy Pinn and
Edward Queenan for tho murder of George
Philip Hirth on the 18th of January last has
been fixed for to-day and the Government
intends to press for trial. An effort will be
made to secure postponement, but not with
much prospect of success, as it was generally
understood last week that the hearing would
commence to-day and at that time the defense
ntimated that they would be ready to proceed
on the day set for trial.
The Government believes that ID has n
strong case and will provo beyond possible
doubt the guilt of the parties accused. 1t is
fortified with the testimony Of some thirty
odd witnesses, and asserts that its chain of
evidence Is complete. The Defense in every In.
stance, will be that of an alib, and the strength
of it has not yet been developed, tho counsel
exhibiting good judgment in observing silence

Coroner Patterson yesterday morning held
an inquest over the remains of Joseph e.
Kirby, tho man who died suddenly at his resi-
dence, 1903 Sixth street. on Friday evening
The verdict rendered was TO the effect that
Kirby came TO his death from an injury on tho
head, the result of fall or blow received in
some manner unknown TO the jury. An au-
topsy was held on Saturday by Dr. Hmtigan,
assisted by DIR, Slanss, who found "A fracture on
tho back of the head, which they supposed
had been received about twelve hours before
death The whole matter as to the manner,

terry. No one not even his nearest relatives,
know whether he was struck OF whether he
fell, neither do they know when or where he

Action OF the Convention of Irish Societies
Yesterday.


A convention Of Irish societies was held at
Cosmopolitan Hall yesterday afternoon for tho
purpose of pcrfecting arrangements for a
proper celebration ofSt. Patrick's day. The
following societies were represented knights
Of st. Patrick, st. Columbkillc 81. Peter, So.
Bernard, st. Joseph No 1, Georgetown Hi
bernian Benevolent society, West End Hiber.
MAN society, and Georgetown Temperance
society. The meeting was called to order by
the chief MARSHAL, p Maher, after which Mr.,
Arthur Small was chosen chairman and Mr..
u. IL. Lanmnn secretary. 1t WIS announced
that majority of the Irish societies had sent
delegates to the convention, but inasmuch as
previous meeting had adopted q resolution
declaring against a parade on st. Patrick's
day, IL was thought advisable 10 take n vote
OF the societies present as IL was known that
some OF them intended TO parade despite tho
resolution. Upon vote being taken, seven
out Of the eight societies decided to parade
tho knights of ST. COlumbkille being the only
organization opposed to the majority. A mo.
ton was also adopted that any society which
changed its mind prior to tho day of parade
and decided to take part would BIO assigned a
position In the linc.
A committee ofseven ON the route of the pro.
cession was appointed, which, after a short alb.
sonce, reported tho following, which was

Driven to Crime by want-The Story Of
Frederick Martin.

Frederick Martin.
Last Saturday two Germans named Fred
crick Martin aud Julius Herman were ar.
raignod before Justice HaRncr IN the Criminal
court on the charge Of forgery. Tho criminal
act consisted IN an order purportinR to have
been drawn by b. Gusdorf upon Leopold
Luchs in favor of Jacob Strauss for 81. 1t
seems that four of those forged orders had
been executed. Leopold Luchs is the treas.
urer of beneficial society, and b. GusdOrf
president of the same. The money was TO be
paid to jacob Strauss aud credited to the
society. Martin could understand the Eug-
lish language, but Herman could not, and
therefore 10 was necessary to secure an inter-
prefer, and Mr.. Baumgarten acted in that
capacity. After the Indictment was read
MARTIN pleaded guilty TO writing the orders,
and defended himself for so doing by saying
that the society owed him the money, aud
ought 10 have provided for him while In dis
tross. He landed in this country at
Baltimore, Nd, IN October last, and
had pcddled for living, going as far South as
North Carolina, but his stock and money gave
out and he was in tho city destitute when he
wrote and uttered the forged orders.
Herman, through the interpreter, stated
that he had nothing to do with writing the
orders, and at the time il was done he wRs sick
in tho poorhouse hospital ut Hngcrstown
Maryland, and if he could get the doctor and
that fact. The accused was old and quite
feeble, and seemed scarcely to understand the
situation in which lie was placed, pcnnilcss
and apparently without friends. His Honor
asked that some of the gentlemen of his ma
tionality take the matter IN hand and see II the
statement was true that lie had made. If IL
was, then these witnesses should be brought
here to testify. The court then told Martin
that the crime committed by hin was serious
one, aud AS be did not srom to apprecnte the
gravity of the offense, In consideration of his
situation and other circumstances connected
with the case, he would be lonient, and then sen-
fenced him to three years and nine months in
the Albany pcnitcntiary.
Subsequently Mr.. Johu A. Clark, the poor
convicts attorney" appeared before the court
and asked that Martin be permitted to with
draw the plea made and enter one of not
guilty, but the court declined to allow IL.
Later, while the prisoners wcrc in the dock
an old veteran German soldier came up to Her.
man and said that he met the man in Hagers-
town at the time stated, and would testify to
it. The man is now here to see about his PEN
sion money

Gay Scenes and Pleasant Company--A Batch
of Society Notes.
The hops given at several hotels last week were
rendered unusually pleasant by tho presence of
young ladies at present visiting our city.
Miss Bixby, young lady from Syracuse, N.
Y, is the guest of Miss Fannie Dunnell,
daughter of Hon. Mark Dunnoll of Mime
sofa She attended the hop at the National
on Friday last, and was becomingly dressed
in combination dress of maroon satin and
silk. Miss Dunnoll wore q rich black satin
skirt, with cherry colored polOnaise aud cherry
trimmings. Mr.. f. g. Beckett was her escort,
and Miss Bixby was escorted bv Mr. Craw-
ford, of Now York. Miss Fannie Dun
nell is bright, attrativo and courteous to all
guests at the National. The Governor of New
Hampshire aud his staff are guests at this pop
ular hotel, attending last weeks hop, and,
together with Mr.. and Mrs. Fields, their
young lady guests, Senator and Mrs.
Saunders and many others, enjoyed
tho evening. To tell OF the delight,
especially to young PERSONS of a hop at Will
lard's would be but repeating IAN o'cr-told
story" but we can say that Fridays enter
tainment was even more pleasant than usual.
Here, too, arc young lady visitors. Miss
Tausey, of St. Louis, is visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
William X. Morrison, and, judging from APP
pearances, she will return with pleasant inn
pressions of tho gaiety and enjoyment found
In Washington during the season. Mrs. Nor
rison has but recently recovered from illness,
but was present at the hop receiving many
friends, who gathered about her. among them
Mrs. Townsend, wife of Representative Town
send, of Illinois, Mr., and Mrs. Fort and others.
In the latter part of the evening Mr.. E. b.
Hay announced, in his inimtable manner, that
the propriotOrs would give promenade concerts
for several succeeding Fridays, intimating
that dancing might possibly be indulgod in by
those whose conscience would permit.
