In another column Of TIE STAR appears q

are called upon to risk their lives in transfer
ring from one car to another at the junction OF
Fifteenth and G streets. That the present ar

been evident, and that the one criticised in the
communication referred to is any better may
well be doubted. The only reasonable and safe

northwest corner Of Fifteenth street and Penn

Isaac Jenkins was negro whose disposition

Isaac jenkins was o negro whose disposition
was inclined 70 be evil He was an uneducassd
man, possessed Of the undesirable traits that
generally accompany profound Ignorance, a
man In whom the moral sense was not . force.
Some time ago Jenkins was employed by John
Cartwright, farmer, who resided in Nanse-
mond county. Virginia, but being an unsatis-
factory mechanic wss discharged. His dull
mind conceived grievance and his low-grade
Intellect cried for revenge. so he poisoned
seven of Farmer Cartwright's horses and
some time aftervard set fire to and de-
Dtroyed Farmer CArtwright's home. When
thsss things happened there was no clue to the
criminal, but during the Investigation which
followed the DIRE suspicion was directed toward
Jsnkins Detectives we're employed and IL
did not take them long 70 ind what

dence to convict the criminal On Saturday
night he was arrested and ~ soon - he was IN

A crowd assembled and sfter brief discussion
decided to lynch the man, who was already In

carried into efect-whether with the collision
of the officers il not certain-for at lonely
place on the road the prisoner was taken from
the constabies and hanged to . tree. and while
banging was shot by several bloodthirsty but
highly respectable citizens who had not been
able to enjoy the privilege Of pulling on the
rope. When the last contortion was over
and the body swung in the heaviness
of death the murderers went to
their respective homes congratulAting
themselves on the quiet and expedinous
manner in which they had killed q man who
would surely have been punished by the law
had that much-abused power been Afforded an
opportunity to exert itself. few hours later
snd the cowardly and hypocritical slayers
were at church. When portions Of this country
were new and were dominated for time by
the lawless there was reasonable excuse for
lynching, but no such excuse can be made for
the virginiAns who brutally slaughtered man

surely have had inflicted upon him such punish

THE HEYDENFELDT CASE.
Evidence as to Mrs. HeydenfeIdt's
Mental Condition..

The greater rart of yesterday was taken
up in Judge Coffey's court In the examine
tion Of Mrs, Maggie Cavanaugh as to the
mental condition Of Mrs. Heydenfeldt in
the now celebrated ease in which her name
so prominently figures.

children. The contract forming the special
ground of the suit was a compromise con-
tractmade by Adolph SutrO on behalf OF
Mrs. Heydenfeldt.

of The late Judge, supported Mrs. Heyden-

by certain parties. Questioned as TO Mrs.

Mrs. Heydenfsldt had suffered keenly as
the result of charges that had been made
against fer.
The witness appeared very anxious to
show that Mrs. Heydenfeldt, at the time
when the charge was made. was SO men,
tally disturbed as TO be, practically speak
ing insane.
Under. cross-examination by Knwalsky
she admitted that the extent of the insanity
consisted In moaning and wringing her
hands and pacing the floor. The witness
finally reduced her estimate of Mrs. Hey
denfeldts condition TO the Verge OF in
sanity"
The cross-examinatIon was OF very severe
character and developed the fact that Mrs.
CayaBaugh had known Mrs. Heydenfeldt for
fifteen years. part OF the time under the

port for Panama on the 9th inst. and will

which is secured by large guarantee fund,

asking this he was fortified by The fact that

amount should be left in the discretion of
the court.
