GEORGE prrMonr's MURDERER.
The Negro stout viii he Put ON Trial
To-day For That Crime.
Especial to TnE wonrn.

ELKToN, November 15.--Alfred
Stout, colored, charged with the muir
der Of George Ditmore, an aged Ger
man farmer near Chesapeake City,
and for murderously assaulting Chris
tian Ditmore, the murdered mans wife,
on FEBRUARY I'd last, will be taken to
Belair for trial tomorrow by Deputy
Sheriff Mackey. William s. Evans,
States Attorney, has abont fifteen
witnesses. who will present very strong
circumstantial evidence against Stout,
and it is believed that he will be con-
victed Of murder in the first degree.
The footprints from the Ditmore resi-
dence toward Stout's home were found
to precisely fit the prisoners shoes. a
piece of the handkerchief was found At
the farm house which fitted in piece
found in Stout's pocket.
A cane was found in the barn where
the club, which, it is alleged, was used
by Stout to kill Ditmore with, was pre-
pared, which the state expects to prove
belonged to Stout. "A penknife was
found in the barn, which Henry Talbot,
colored, identified as one that Stout
had borrowed from him. Blood was
found on Stout's clothing, which was
proven by DR.. Formal, Of Philadelphia,
to be human blood. The prisoner
when arrested, said that no one had
seen him on the night Of the murder.
An old colored woman says he came to
her house, where she lived, about ten
o'clock on the night Of the murder
which occurred at about nine. Stout
did not go to bed, but remained up all
night, and left early in the morning.

| CROOKED COLONEL
OFFICER WEDDELL LANDS HIM
SMELLY lN NANTIyS,
BURG.
HEWILL HAVE To ANSWER ToMoR-
ROW TO THRCHARGE oF FORGERY
AND TRYING TO GET MONEY nv
FALSE pRETENsEs.

THE World stated in the Saturdays
issue that a conflict had arisen between
the State and federal authorities at
Wheeling in regard TO Col. Isaiah Por-
ter and that Officer j. H. Weddell had
been sent TO Wheeling to take charge
of the prisoner and bring him 10 Mar
tinsburg where there were two distinct
charges against him. Mr.. Weddell
arrived here with his prisoner this
morning shortly before eleven o'clock
over the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railway.
He was taken directly to Justice No
KEGS Office where he was confronted
and identified by Father McKeefry
and others who saw him when lie was
here and attempted ID pass i $1,000
check on Father McKecfry. The
Colonel does not act Us spruce or as
polished MS when here, and he has evil
IDENTIFY seen some hard time sinces he
had 10 leave here so sudden and mys-
teriously. There il no question now
but that Porter is the same man who
operated through the south several
years among Catholic priests and who
afterward was given term in the
Maryland Penitentiary.
II was expected that his case would
come up for a hearing Immediately
upon arrival here but as Prosecuting
Attorney Feidt was called away from
the city the case had to be postponed
until tomorrow morning. Messrs.
Faulkner & Walker will defend the
prisoner.
Officer Weddell says that he was
treated with every courtesy possible by
Chief Of Police Dclburgge and the
other officials Of Wheeling, but had
quite q curious time getting control Of
the prisoner. He reached the city late
at night, and II was one o'clock yester-
day afternoon before he obtained him.
The United States authoritiesat Wash
ington had forwarded requisition for
him, and u. s. Marshall Devinc had
gone to Charleston to see Governor
Fleming and obtain the necessary State
documents. For this reason the jailor
declined at first torelease him, but did
50 when an order to that effect was is
sued BY Justice George Arkle. The
latter, however, did not give the re-
lease until he had been satisfied by
Prosecuting Attorney Howard that
there would be no interference on the
part Of the county authorities. Officer
Weddell, in accordance with the tele-
graphic instructions given him by Mr..
Feidt, paid the cost heretofore accrued
in the case, and the U. S. authorities
will be surprised to learn to-day that
the Colonel is in Martinsburg.

On Saturday THE woRrp published
the fact that Mayor McSherry had is
sued an order 10 President Wilson, Of
the Street Car Co., requiring him to
discontinue the tearing Up of any more
streets until the track and crossings on
the Others had boon repaired. on Sat
urday about noon, ne Mayor won't to
were The track-layers were working 81
North Queen street and ordered them
70 stop, but Mr.. Wilson, who was
there, countermanded this order, and
told them to go right on. The Mayor
then had awauant served on Mr.. VIII
son, charging him with violating the
ordinance and interfering with an Of
iicer. Mr.. Wilson was arrested and
taken before the Mayor, whore he was
represented by Senator Faulkner and
the city by Mi. +. Boyd Faulkner In
his opinion the Mayor said, the
Mayor and the corporation had been
openly defed by the Street Railway
Company in the performance Of their
duties. Senator Faulkner said that as
he construed the ordinance il did not
give the Mayor the right to stop work
on the street, but did give him the
privilege Of imposing 4 fine. He said
further that he looked upon the whole
thing as misunderstanding Mr..
Wilson had gone to Mr.. Schill, the
chairman Of the Street Committee, and
he had told him that he thought the
work was being done satisfactorily.
Mayor McShery argued that Mr.. Will
son had acted in very bad faith to-
wards him as well as the corporation
in going ahead and interviewing the
members Of the Street Committee In
dividually. Senator Faulkner made
proposition that the Street Committee
60 out and inspect the work and order
whatever changes they thought needed
as to grades, crossings, ETC., and he
was satisfied that Mr.. Wilson or other
officers Of the Street Car Company
would do all that was asked. This
proposition was accepted and the case
against Mr.. Wilson dismissed.

Gus.
Dom Piatt was born in Cincinnati
June 10, 1919. He prepared for the law,
and was elevated to the Common Pleas
bench at very early age. From the
bench he passed to the place of Secre-
tary of Legation at Paris, where for
nearly a year subsequently he was
Charge d'Affairs. He made the lega-
ton headquarters for the Red Repubi-
cans. Pierre Soule, Louis Blanc and
many other prominent Radicals were
his fast friends. When the civil war
broke out he volunteered as ajprivate.
He was elected Captain, and at~Iight
studied over the drill which he gave
next day. Gen. Schenck offered him
choice of positions on his staff and he
served under that gentleman until near
the close Of the war. He was in the
first and second battles of Bull Run,
at Cross Keys and McDowel's. Secre-
tary Stanton put him on the court that
investigated the loss Of Harper's Ferry,
and he wrote the finding of the court.
He was then made Justice-Advocate of
the commission that investigated Gen.
Buell.. AS Chief Of Staff under Gen.
Schenck he freed the slaves in Mary
land. This brought his military ca
reer to an abrupt conclusion and he re-
turned to the law. AS a journalist
and editor he gained a reputation that
is world wide. He was a fient, ready
and witty writer, and his contributions
to the Cincinnati Commercial and Wash
ington Capital commanded the earnest
attention of the public. After Col.
Piatt's retirement from active Journal
istic work he resided quietly at his
country home, the same house in which
he died. He was called from this re-
tirement in 1888 to found Belford $
Maqazine in New York. After one
year at that work he returned to Ohio
and engaged upon an extensive bio
graphical history of Gen. George r..
Thomas, which was almost completed
at the time Of his death. His latest
work for the press Was series Of let
| tiers on the issue and candidates of the
campaign of 1888. Col. Piatt be
llonged to a Kentuckey family, but
lived mostly in Ohio, whore he was for
4 time member of the Legislature;
He was.twice married, and his second
wife, for many years an invalid, sur
wives him.
