"You BLACK BRUTE"
An Enraged Doctor Attempts the Life
of His Wife's Assailant.


ST LOUIS. Jan. 8.-A thrilling scene
took place in the court of correction
George Jones, colored, who assaulted
DR.. Charles H. Groby's wife, was in the
prisoners chair. Mrs. Groby, the col
ored mans victim, had told her story Of
her fearful experience. Behind her ano
to the right sat her husband, DR.. Gro
by. He was pale and the muscles O.
his face We're working. Mrs. Groby
spoke in low whisper, the judge ana
attorneys moving close to her SO as tt
hear. IL was on the evening of Dec s
she stated. She was within . few
blocks of her home at Page and Good
avenues, when colored man, who
jumped from buggy in the road,
seized her about the waist with one arm
while he placed the hand Of the other
upon her mouth. He dragged her to
ward vacant lot and threw her upon
the ground Her screams brought as
sistance and he ran away. He was cap
tured the next day.
As Mrs. Groby finished her story
Judge Claiborne inquired Of the coloreo
man, who had no attorney, if he desired
to ask the witness any questions. Jones
replied, "Yes"
He then asked Mrs. Groby if she
could hold up her right hand and swear
that what she said was true, adding
that he did not believe she could. A,
these words DR.. Groby leaped to hi
feet, clutching in his right hand AL
open knife with long blade. rYou
black brute!" he shrieked, "You'l fin
ish that sentence in hell" With the
words he bounded toward the prisoner.
He had arrived within three feet of the
man, who was too paralyzed with terror
to move, when deputies John Naege
and Tom Skidmore seized him. Patrol
man Hurley also caught the desperate
man. Though he was small it took all
their united strength to hold him. The
prisoner. now ashen-colored, was hus-
tied to the cage and held in the sum of
$1,000.
The doctor, as soon as he cooled down
was allowed to go home.

DR.. Il. BARRETT.
His Death at Half-PaSt Three
O'clock,
Was Unable to Give Any In
formation.

The Assassination Remains = Mystery,
And the Lips That Might Have Re-
vealed the Murderers Are Silent in
Death-No New Theories Have Been
suegested-will Offer Rewards.
GRIFFIN, Ga, Jan. S-Dr. ]. II. Nj
Barrett is dead. He breathed his last
at 800 o'clock. And he never gave any
intimation that points to the brutal
assassin.
He gradually sank lower and all knew
that the end was near. The suspense
was breathless one, and all waited for
little rally, that the old gentleman
might tell the name Of his murderer.
But there was no rally, and the doctor
grew weaker and weaker until the end
came.
There are no new theories at Cres-
well, and the matter stands just where
it did the day after the crime was COM
mitted. Now that DR.. Barrett is dead
and all chance Of hearing the name OF
the assassin is lost, great effort will
be made to unravel the mystery. Mrs.
Nunnally and her son will probably
,ffer reward of $500; the people of the
county will probably add to this, and
the governor will be asked to offer an
other reward. The people mean bus
mess, and everything that money and
men can do will be done to catch the
murderer.

ing capital to work it. The government.
he said, onght to provide work for the un-
employed. and especially in farming dis
tricts. After this serious statesman-a
came many who told the labor commits
sipn that labor must be municipaliZed,
that the London docks must be made pub
lie property, that the lockers should have
shorter day and better wages, and that
the work less should be provided for. Next
came ker Hardie, who demanded that the
cabinet adopt immediate measures to stop
foreign immigration and put all govern
ment employees on short time, In
order to provide work for
the unemployed. Mr.. Hardie also
wants poor school children to be supplied
with their own free meals daily. A Social
iss workmen's deputatiOn which called
upon the board capped Mr.. Hardie's de-
mand by asking that poor school children
be given three good meals daily. with
ample supply Of comfortable clothing
The seriousness with which these claims
are urged, and the earnestness with which
many wOrkingmen clamor for them, place
them beyond ridicule.

near by, are doing all they can to rescue
the imprisoned men. but the fall is large
