Court House Doors Locked-The Jury

cluaion-NeaI Takes Refuge with Harry
Mahafy.
I'VE often hear Of Honorable being
put before the names of people, bnt !,
for one, think that the title pre6xed to
the name of Anthony Higgins is In the
wrong place" remarked an aged and
well known Wilmington man to an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter yesterday,
Whist reason have you for making
ouch statement ?" asked the reporter.
81 will state the reasons why say so
and why think so" he replied. ut is
known that he was attorney for Bill
Neal. the negro indicted and tried for COM
hitting rape on Mrs Sarah Gosser, poor
and degenseless white woman, who lived
near Brick Store Landing, in Appoquini-
mink hundred.
1.-THE first trial took place when the
court sat In New Castle, and the jury
found verdict Of guilty, and he would
have been sentenced and hanged but for
his friend, Anthony Higgins, who applied
for cad got new trial under another
jury, the members of which were all
Republicans The regular panel
was exhausted snd then the Court
House doors were locked Some men
were inside for the purpose Of clearing
Neal. Some Of them had bean heard to
say that they would be on the jury and
would stay outa week IL necessary to
clear the negro. a
"Those men packed the jury and Hig
gins, Mahsffy and some others knew
before the jury went out that Neal would
be cleared was standing about three
feet from Harry Mahaffy about the time
the jury sent In word to the court that 1t
had found verdict. Before 1t came In, An
thony Higgins went to Mahsffy and said
to him: Ale you resdy7 The jury Is

Gunnison, Booth and BARNETT took up the
case for the defense, and forthwith Mr.. Bart

plea OF not guilty, and asked leave TO do so.
He also offered challenges to members Of the
court on the ground that these charges are
based on principles of law that the accused had
right 10 object to certain members of the

but Allen said they were private communities
lions and refused 10 give copy. Ana the
letter was seen IN which Dickinson stated he
would not send the charges against Biumen-
berg through General DimOnd because the cap
tain and the general were very friendly. q
Blumenberg said the attitude OF General
Dickinson was otherwise than AMIGA Die toward
him, he thought Il unreasonable to expect a
fair trial from the gentlemen mentioned be-
cause General Dickinson, who preferred the
charges, committed an unseemly act In select
ing men to try the case in which he was prose

His testimony was corroborated by Attorney

SO instead of trying Blumenberg the court
had 10 try its individual m mbers on the chal-
