Minnie Must Hang.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May lin the crimi-
nal court yesterday Minnie Moses (colored)
was found guilty of murder of an old Turkish
beggar woman last fall. The jury assessed
punishment at death, and there is not likely to
be any appeal, as the evidence was so clear
that the prosecution admitted all the points of
law made by the defense which gave them no
chance to except. Minnie killed her victim
with razor and mutiated the body in a hor-
rible manner. Minnie will be the first
woman hungin Alabama since before the war.

CORRECTED HIS STATEMENTS.
MIR. Parnell Says He Referred to RibbOnism
Not Secret Conspiracy Generally.

LONDON, May THE Parnell commission
resumed its sitting to-day. Mr.. Parnell said he
desired to correct that part of his evidence in
relation to the statement made by him In the
house of commons concerning the non-exist-
ence of secret societies in Ireland. Upon re-
ferring to the Hansard reports of the proceed
ings of the house of commons he found that
his remarks referred particularly to ubbonism
and not to secret conspiracy generally. His
remarks, therefore, were fairly accurate state
menr of the facts, ribbonism at that time
practically did not exist in Ireland.
Referring to his speeches made in America
as reported IN the Irish World, witness said he
could not accept the reports as correct. Mr..
Ford garbled the speeches in order to suit the
taste of the readers of the Irish World. Witness
had never made this statement publicly before
because it was not necessary.
Recurring TO secret societies, Mr.. Parnell
said he considered that person who joined
the league and continued to be member of
the Clan-na-Gael acted to the injury of the
leagues policy. Any member of the league
who would advocate the use of dynamite would
be traitor
