surprise of all, and when the excite
ment had not yet cooled down,
O'Mally put in his appearance.
He had heard, he said, that the grand jury
had found an indictment against him for
bribery. but could not find him and he had
come forward voluntarily TO answer.
Again whispers of lynching were heard,
but his holiness and audacity saved him and
created some admiration for the man
who had the courage 10 come back and face
an angered and excited populace. O'Mally
was indicted on several counts for
bribing jurors. The Ease against
him has been postponed several
times since, but came to
trial to-day, when it was discovered that
the state was without any evidence, the
only evidence it had being ruled
The popular feeling was that the
state could easily convict O'Mally,
while ne always insisted that the indict-
ments were brought against him in order to
justify the parish prison lynching-that IS,
to prove that there was some excuse for
the lynching. 1t was necessary.
he said, to prove that the jury
had been bribed. and rs he had
managed the case for the Italians. he was
indicted as having done the bribing. 1t
is probable now that O'Mally is

THE SUBJECT OF DRILL.
An Interesting Talk to High School Boys b
Lieut. Hine of the Army.

An Interesting Talk to High School Boys by
Lieut. Hine of the Army.
Yesterday afternoon at the close of the fourth
hour the boys of the Capitol Hill High School
assembled in the exhibition nall Of the Peabody
building to hear Lieut. Zine of the army on
the subject of drill. Lieut.. Hine was student
in the class of 'S5, Washington High School,
where he distinguished himself in the battalion
as well as in the recitation room for his high
order of intelligence. In the class of 81 at
West Point Military Academy he has gained the
highest honors OF his class in both tactics and
discipline and has received assignment to Fort
Thomas, KY, where he will join his regiment
next Tuesday.
His talk to the boys consisted of some prac-
ticai advice in regard to the personal bearing
of the cadets in and out Of the class room,
urging especially that they should maintain
the position of the soldier as taught in the
setting up" exercises of the drill, in order
that they might Withstand better any exposure
to which they might be subjected either during
their school days or in after life. He also en-
phasized the necessity on the part of the boys
Of being courteous at all times as O duty which
they owed themselves as well as the general
public, which has always::manifested large in
tesest in High School matters.
At the conclusion Of the talk the boys showed
their hearty appreciation by vigorous applause.
The Capitol Hill High School has been BOOM
ing all the week until now it numbers about
$50. Mr.. Whelpley of the High School COM
mittee was present at the formal reopening of
the school on the els. instant and congratu-
lated the pupils upon the outlook for the year.
The regular work Of the year has begun in
earnest, and though somewhat crowded, every
thing moves along smoothly.
