ROCKVILLE, Nov. 20, 1892.
Mr.. Willis Buraette, son of Jas. NJ. Burdette
Of Browningsville. this county, who has for
some time been attending Pennington Semi
nary, New Jersey, will in n short time start
with Bishop Thoburn Of the NJ T. Church for
India. where he will be engaged in a missionary
school.
In the case Of Thomas Mills. mulatto, con-
victed in the circuit court Of this county of fe-
lonious assault on an imbecile girl Of Frederick
city, the court Of appeals Of Maryland. before
whom the case was carried, has confirmed the
decision Of the lower court. The ground Of APP
peal to the court Of last resort was that the
grand jury which found the indictment was
not drawn in conformity to law. 1t is expected
that the prisoner who has been confined in Jail
here since his conviction, will be sentenced
during the present week.
A decision in the case Of James Bond, col
ored, convicted OF murder in the first degree
by outraging and killing Margaret Cephas near
Unity some months ago, and for which a new
trial had been asked. will probably be given by
the circuit court in few DAYS. An impression
prevails in the community that q new trial will
be denied and that Bond will have to suffer the
extreme penalty Of the law
