The murderer a White Man.

There are no new developments in the
Sharpless murder case at Chester except
the fact that Mrs. Sharpless is positive the
slayer of her husband was a white man.
MI. Sharpless before going to the barn
where he was killed in response to his
wife's inquiry said the man who wanted
him to assist in repairing the broken
harness was white. The point is now
clearly established that the murderer was
white. These facts were in possession OF
John M. Broomall, ESD, the attorney
of the deceased, who depressed them, and
has thus caused the police much unnec
essary work and false descriptions of the
murderer have been sent out over thu
country, thus complicating the difficulty
of securing his arrest. Mr.. Broomal
desired to work up the murder himself
but has signally failed and his unwar
ranted officiousness and interference witt
the policemen's work is justly and
severely condemned.

DIED IN CHURCH.
Jacob Williams Gives His last Ex-
perience at N Prayer Meeting.

neEnEBCG ath ~ CA
The PRAYER meeting at st. Paul's NJ. u.
Church Monday evening was marked by
an unparalleled event, which impaired an
intensely dramatic feature to the proceed
ings and impressively illustrated the oft
quoted text, sin the midst of life We hre
in DEATH"
Among those present was Jacob VII
liams, aged rs years, senior member OF
the firm of J. Williams u Son, produce
dealers, No. 305 King street. Mr.. WI
lianis, during the evening, felt impeiled
to give his experience, and his remarks
were particularly impressive. He re.
fsrred TO his Christian experience, and OF
he Joy he felt during the Sabbath day,
men il seemed to him as though he We're
n heaven. He said he considered his
sabbath joys heaven enough for him
md closed with the remark, ''This is
heaven to me-"
Scarcely had he taken his seat when q
gurgling sound was heard in his throat;
Joseph Pyle who sat in front turned
around, and was startled at his appear
ance. The pastor, the Rev. Il. b.
Adams, hurried to the scene, and sent
across the street for DR.. Harlan, who
came at once, and pronounced Mr.
williams dead. He said that death had
resulted from sudden attack o.
apoplexy. The body was removed to thu
| late home of the deceased, No. 6l3 King
street.
Mr.. Williams was born in Kent county
and followed farming until 1874, when HI
came to Wilmington and engaged in tn
produce busine-s. Recently he was asso
ciated with his son, G. Wesley Williams

i sita rug u the audience present LETT ~,
cSnri lplu and the case peudlnB whel
the Jury came in was resumed.
Superior court met at 10 O'Clock yester-
day morning. Benjamin Nields, Esq. ,attor-
ney for plaintiff in the suit of Phineas M
Barber VS.. Springer, Cause d Co., an
nounced that Judgment had been entered
for the plaintiff.
The case of Aaron O. England vs..
William Forbes, Robert II. Banks and
James Martin was then resumed, and Mr..
Hoffecker offered to put in evidence a
record of the sherifs return OF an execu-
ton against Forbes Il Banks. The coun-
sci for the defence objected but an agree
ment was finally reached by which the
| record was admitted. The plaintiff then
rested.
Mr.. Nields then addressed the jury
upon the facts which he expected to
prove.
Robert r. Banks was then called. He
testified that he had been a member OF
the firm of Forbes Il Banks; that MIR.
| England came to their place of business
and said he had 10000 spokes which he
would like to sell them; the witness went
/ up to his place in Chester county in April,
| 1884, and said they agreed to make bar
| gain at 800 thousand, England to pay
the freight, or rather they to pay the
| freight and take it out of the bill 1
agreed to repair wagon for him
| and take 1t out of the bill told him we
could not pay him the cash but would
| give him note to be paid in two or three
| instalments; he shipped two lots of spokes
| on that agreement the first was on the
| 18th of April last and the second about q
week later; we began to turn the spokes
| Immediately our credit at that time was
good; 1 had no knowledge that
there was an execution against
us in the hands of the sheriff !
we had property enough to pay
all our Indebtedness then if we
had had time to work it up; when we
gave Edwin Banks Judgment bond the
understanding was that it was only for
| the purpose of making the people from
whom we had capital safe there was no
| understanding that an execution would
be issued ON the Judgment bond; next
saw England during the first week of
May at our shop; gave him an estimate
on paper of the number ofspokes we had
/ received, which he wanted as basis on
which to pay his splitter; the estimate
was 10000 spokes he made no
demand for the spokes; he said he came
for settlement and asked for note in
payment; it was n week after that that he
came back to replevin we had spokcs on
hand that we had bought before we GO
those from England; we had worked NJ
about 5000 of the England spokes; non,
of these were replevined; they took about
| 1000 of our spokes in addition to what
remained unturned of their own; the
spokes belonging to US which he took
were worth $25 thousand; our total in
debtedness at that time was about 81, 600.
The witness was subjected to rigid
discrimination by Messrs. Hoffecker
and Higgins, which was not concluded
when court took recess until 8 o'clock.
