THE PRISONERS DEFENDERS.
A close watch will be kept night and day
on Altenberger for it is feared that be may
attempt to commit suicide if given a chance.
Max Salinger says he has not yet concluded
to defend ~Altenberger, for he does not like to
be engaged in murder trials.
Prosecutor Winfield said that he had heard
that House G Friend, criminal lawyers Of
New York, would defend the murderer on
the trial. but he had not been authoritiyely
toldso. lie said he would ask Judge Lippincott
to set down the earliest possible date for the
trial, and he thought it would take place
next month. The Supreme Court meets on
JUNE 5, and that will keep Judge Lippincott
at Trenton for about two weeks. The
Prosecutor thought the Judge would have
the case tried as soon as the Supreme Court
session was over.
QUESTIONED BY Il KEEPERS.
Altenberger, when questioned closely BY
one of the keepers Of the Jail, said he did
not intend TO commit suicide, even if the OPP
portunity was given him, He said that it
was sufficient to have committed one murder
without adding tho crime of selfmurder to
it. He claims to be repentent now. This
afternoon he was permitted to walk in the
corridor, but Warden Mitchell watched
constantly.
During the day Mitchell and Constable
Mccormack will be in the Jail and at night
Constables Joe Locke and John Mersheimer
will be in charge. Different arrangements
will be made after Bob Davis leaves the Jail

insisted that the Consolidated Traction Com

and eighteen inches outside. The company's
officials signified their willingness TO com
ply with the request. but would not say
when they would begin work. This fact
prevented O'Donnell from going to work, as
be was unwilling to take his chances on a
grade that would be set by the company. He
asked that his contracts be assigned to b. d..

permit the assignment, believing that it viii

A Check Flasher f)varhauled,

On Thursday, May 10Th, j. Archinard
OF Texas, who had made their acquaintance
when he was here as cadet at the Staun-
ton Military Academy, passed forged
checks On Jno. B. Hoge for SIS; on II. L.
Lang for $50, and on Jas. III. Woodward
Tor $40. He left that night OF the next
morning, and left behind him very warm
letter to Mr.. Hoge. telling him that he had
been called away suddenly by the death of
his mother in Louisiana, and that he must
pray for him in his affection. In two OF
three days it was fonnd by the checks be-
ing returned from New York that thoy
were either bogus OF forged. He had signed
the name of J. M. Lewis of New York to
one OF two of them.
A few days still later, eachof the Staun-
ton parties on whom the checks were passed
received a letter from Archinard written
at Little Rock. Ark. 1t was written on
mourning bordercd paper and said he had
heard that there had been some misunder-
standing about the checks which he regret
ted, and he enclosed to each of the parties
his Individual note for the amount he had
gotten from him.. He said he would be in
Staunton in ten days. This latest device
In check flashing deceived nobody, and
Messrs. Woodward and Lang having got
ten wind Of Archinard S performing SINH
lar sleight-o f-hand transactions at Fort
Worth and Beaumont. Texas, determined
to overhaul him. They had circulars prin-
ted giving an accurate description of the
man and a history Of his operations in this
section, and after getting Chief of Police
Waters permission to sign his name to
them, mailed one to each Chief Of Police
in Texas.
Last Sunday telegram was received
from John Shelley, Mayor of Ell Paso, a
town on the Rio Grande border of Texas,
saying that they had arrested Arciinard
and had him in Jail there. Commonwealth S
Attorney Bumgardner proceeded to get
proper requisition papers from Gov. o Fer
rail- at Richmond, but a later telegram
from the Texas authorities said they de-
sired to hold Archinard there for trial for
similar offences committed in that State.

St0neWaII Brigade.


A LAUREL WREATH FROM GEN. r. E. LEE
I. SENT HIM-FIFTY FEDERAL PRISONERS
OFFERED IN EXCHANGE FOR HIM.
The members of the Stonewall Brigade,
who are so numerous in this section, will
read with interest the extraordinary honors
published in the Monroe, w. Va, Watch
man, as having been paid to one of the
members of that immortal organization.
The ''Mike Foster Camp of Confederate
Veterans" in Monroe county, w. Va, has
just been formed. 1t is named after Mike
Foster, a member of the Monroe Guards,
9th Va regiment, Stonewall Brigade. The
Watchm0n says:
/ The instances Of his bravery are innumer-
able He was repeatedly wounded, and it
was in 1868 while lying in the hospital in
Richmond that he was presented with a lall-
rel wreath as the bravest and most efficient
private soldier in the Stonewall Brigade sent
him by General Robert f. Lee himself He
returned to his regiment as soon as his
wounds permitted and served with his acclls-
toned gallantry until desperately wounded
and captured at Hatcher's Run. four days be-
fore Appomattox. Upon learning of his cap
ture Gen. John B. Gordon sent a flag Of truce
into the Federal lines with instructions to
secure his exchange and if necessary to offer
fifty Federal prisoners for him. 1t was thus
that Mike Foster was brought back into the
Confederate lines. He was terribly wounded,
and died from the effects of his wounds year
OF two after the war closed, at his home in
Monroe.
We think it may be safely said that no
other soldier in the Confederate army re-
ceived such personal attentions from Gen
Robert e. Lee and Gen. Gordon as those
the Waterman relates of MI. Foster.
