Samuel n. Brooks, of England, Identities
Preller's Murderer As HIS Son.
A dramatic scene occurred in the Jail
last Saturday night when Samuel n
Brooks, of Hyde, England, met his son
Hugh, charged with the Preller murder.
The young man succeeded in controlling
his emotions, but the elder gave vent to
his grief and had to be supported during
the interview. When the prisoner was
brought before him he scanned him for
a minute and said: Hugh, it is YOU
Maxwell turned pale and replied, at is,
father When the son spoke the old
man staggered forward and fell heavily
against the bars of the iron cage in which
the interview took place. He recovered
himself by supreme effort and again
gazed intently at his son. 1T would
have been better for you to be dead than
here" he continued land did not be-
lieve the report until now. Your poor
mother is nearly dead and the family is
all but ruined" Maxwell sat with down
cast eyes and an expression of annoyance
on his face. lie asked no questions and
volunteered no information. The pair
were then lett alone together and an
hour later the old man came out with
the marks of pain an agitation plainly
discernible. Mr.. Brooks states that he
believes firmly in his son insanity. The
young man had never shown propen-
sity to murder and he said, Gle must
be insane"

The Cambridge, Md. Globe states that for
some weeks past it has noticed in TIE
CECIL WING and several more of its peuin-
sula exchanges reports of robberies having
been committed in different sections of the
Eastern Shore, and that not until last week
these depredators reached its beautiful little
city. The first case reported was that upon
Mrs. p. Twilley, who kept u boarding house
at the corner of Academy and Muir streets,
which occurred in broad daylight. Mr..
WIN. Edger was assisting Mrs. Twilley
gathering figs, when lie saw a man come
from the house, and upon seeing Mr.. Ed
ger he pretended to be looking for Mrs. T.,
and remarked that she was not in. Mr..
Edger did not think anything was wrong
and permitted him to leave, and he left,
indeed. The amount stolen was about $50
in money. No other articles were missed
On last Saturday night the house of Mr..
Matthew Nerrick, on High street, was en-
tered but the house was not thoroughly
searched. Mr.. Merrick states that his
family retired about 10 o'clock that night,
and he himself saw that every door and
window was fastened, and he sUpposes the
thief got in to the house before it was
closed. Mrs. Bowdle and Miss Willie
Mullikn, their nearest neighbors, state
that they heard door open and Gloss about
l o'clock Sunday morning, which aroused
them, they thinking it was their own but
upon examination found all was right and
thought no more of it until the next morn
ing when Mrs. Merrick reported her loss.
She found her pocket-book and hand
satchel on the table down stairs and the
money gone, but Mr.. Marrick's pants,
which were hanging near his bed and con-
tanned considerable money, were undistur-
bel. The amount taken from Mrs. Mer-
rick = purse is not exactly known as several
parties had paid her money on Saturday.

pocket, being 4 part of the booty. At
tempts were made to enter Mr.. Thos
Windsor's store the same night but bolts
and bars proved too much for them, and
their efforts We're of no avail. We trust
our friends will profit by this sage advice
and see that doors and windows are closed
and bottled and uuthouscS securely fastened
for we may expect robbcries and deperda-
tons of all kinds while our city is infasten-
ed with the rough elements that now exist.

The trial of Ferdinand Ward devel-
oped Tuesday into a scene Of dramatic
interest. The principal characters in
the Grant Il Ward drama came together
face to face; James D. Fish came out as
a hostile witness against his former
business associate on trial for grand lar
ceny; and the telephone was invoked as
an ally of the State to Prove that Ward
intentionally dofraudcd the Marine Bank
of money under false pretenses.
District Attorney Maritime had hardly
opened the case when man of medium
height, clad in dark business suit,
wearing standing collar with a black
tie, stopped into the room and stood by
the end of the jury box, whence he could
look down upon Ferdinand Ward not
six feet away. His hair was white, his
face pallid and he wore a determined,
even defiant mien as he glanced around
the room, shifted his overcoat in his
arms and watched the District Attorney
keenly. 1t was James d. Fish, the ex
president of the Marine Bank. who, the
District Attorney at that moment was
saying, had given orders that the Marine
Bank should pay Wards check on it of
81, 800, because Ward had personally
represented TO him that the money on
which the check obtained certification
was on deposit in the First National
Bank

One of the most remarkable conspira-

visited Baltimore, where he had an in

FISTS INTENTION.

Mr.. Fish had declared in the morning
that he proposed to walk right up to
Ward and have a square look at him.
He gazed with a contemptuous and
naughty stare into his former partner S
face and then, as Detective Cosgrove,
tapped him on the shoulder, stepped
back and took seat with him in the
last row of chairs. Ward felt Mr.. Fish S
presence, but he did not look up.
The District Attorney concluded by
saying that Ward was not on trial for
the death of General Grant or for any
other issues than the one directly before
the court.

Gel of the State. Every eye was turned
on the whte-haired man who rose with
set lips and white face, walked with ner-
vous, iorceful tread, swept around the

stand. Three feet from the stand he
passed Buck" Grant, who sat against
the wall with his attorney. His face
was stolid and unmoved.

gone to the farm of Mr.. Samuel Harris in
the neighborhood for the purpose of assist
ing him in the labor of threshing, and while
engaged ut his work was seen to suddenly
fall and die before any assistance could be
rendered. His death probably resulted from
rheumatism OF the heart, although such is
not positively known to have been its cause.
Mr.. Janney was a well-known citizen of
this county, and in the community which
he inhabited was greatly admired and re-
spected. He was in his G3rd year, and the
eldest son of the late Sheriff John Janney,
and brother of ex- Sheriff f. Wesley ,Janney
of this town. From the day of his birth his
entire life has been spent near Bay View, In

winter. For a short while last year he held
the position OF postal clerk on the route be-
tween Washington and New York, but from
physical weakness was compelled to resign
his place. n large concourse of citizens
from Bay View and vicinity testified to
their appreciation of the deceased mans
virtues while alive by attending his funeral,
which took place from the Bay View NJ. p.
church on Monday last. The Rev. Mr..

services
