THREATS OF LYNCHING.
Special Dispatch to the EVENING STAR
ALEXANDRIA, VA, June 3.-The mayor tried,
at noon to-day, the case of Pietro Lene, or
Leone, a Corsican, charged with outrage on
Malvina Robey, a white girl about IL years of
age. Pietro came here from Washington about
two years ago and sold oranges, bananas, etc,
in market. A few months ago he opened q
fruit store on Royal street, near the market.
He boarded in Market alley with Mrs. RObey,
whose son is engaged a waterman on the
Potomac, and whose granddaughter Malvina
lived in the house. Some boys gave informa-
ton OF the crime, and PIetro was arrested The
crowd which gathered was SO great that the
trial was adjourned from the mayors office to
the court house. The trial continued until the
afternoon, and the accused will be sent on to
the grand jury. There were many threats of
lynching, but it is likely that the law will be
allowed TO take its course.

The record of the court of inquiry in the case
