Jim Robinson Must Suffer Death-Col-
lapse of the Defense-Remark-
able Scene in Court.


| Special Correspondence Of TIE Evening Star.
MANASSAS. Va, February 8 1894.
| The jury in the case of Jim Robinson, one
OF the two young negroes tried here to-
day for criminally assaulting Mrs. Hefrln
| and Mrs. Elliott about two miles south of
here on the 18th Of last month. took but
| ming minutes this afternoon to decide that
the prisoner was guilty, as charged. and to
decree that he should suffer death. The
miserable wretch had evidently steeled him
self to expect the worst, and when, at 4:26
the verdict was read by the clerk OF the
COURT Robinson heard his doom with almost
absolute indifference, even tho exultant
but quickly suppressed cries Of the throng
which pressed close upon the double file of
soldiers who stood with loaded and bay
oneted rifles between them and the trem-
bling criminal having no effect upon him.
A Remarkable Scene.
1t was q remarkable scene. and one which
will not soon be forgotten by those who wit
messed 1t. Dignifed and austere, Judge Lips
comb sat, perched high above the heads Of
the throng on an inclosed platform at one
end of the court room, while to his right
stood the clerk Of the court. To the right Of
that officer Of the court, on q semi-circular
platform. sat the jury. in tiers Of fours d.
at a long table. were the counsel for the
state and defendant and several newspaper
men. Beside his counsel sat the prisoner.
mechanically toying with his hat, ashen
hued and eyes staring vacantly before him.
seeing, perhaps, that last scene Of ALL" so
soon to be played by him. Two or three feet
back Of the prisoner stout railing crossed
the room, and on either side OF this railing
stood file Of armed soldiers, with bayonets
fixed, and back Of them, surging restlessly
to and fro, was mass OF men and boys Of
all conditions, white and black.
The space within the railing was hardly
less crowded. although occupied by men in
the confidence Of the court officials.
Perfect silence reigns as the roll Of the
the foreman hands the clerk the Indictment
with the finding of the jury Endorsed upon it
and signed by the foreman. AS the clerk
takes the paper and glances at the indorse-
ment he solemnly asks: Gentlemen Of the
jury, is this your verdict?'
Silence follows, and then, slowly and de-
liberately, the clerk reads: I'VE. the jury
find the prisoner guilty and fix the penalty
at death"
AS the fatal word falls from the lips of the
clerk cries of Good, good That's right"
are heard. and there is an ATTEMPT, quickly
checked by the gavel Of the Judge, at ap-
plause.
Il want to hear no demonstrations Of ap-
prevail or disapproval In this court" he re-
marks, and then, at the request Of the pris-
oner's counsel he directs that the jury be

PIOUS MR.. VOORHEES,
Posts the Senate on dates in the Church
Calendar.
Today Il Good Friday, Because the
Senate Adjourned Yesterday for
That Specinc Reason.

The Senate Il not In session today. This
circumstance Is due to a curious anachro-
nism, and while Senators are not saying
much on the sutherland Senator VOORHEES,
il saying less than anybody else-all the rest
Of the world that inhabits the Capitol is
shaking with laughter In consequence.
When the Senate had talked itself out on
the subject Of the 18th street transfer shed.
the form OF the Tall Sycamore" was seen
to extend itself above his desk top. When
Mr.. Voorhees, arises everybody is apt to
listen, for he usually contributes either to
the Information or the amusement Of the
galleries and the reading public. There
were mingled feelings when he moved that
when the Senate adjourn on that day IL
should adjourn until Monday. This is not
an unusual motion for a Thursday, which is
ordinarily the day on which the upper house
begins its weekly rest. but Mr.. Berry, who
has had q bill hanging In the air for some
days. immediately arose to object to this
proceeding.
There was q sorrowful look in Mr. voor-
hees' eyes as his colleague said this. His
face lighted up with a religious fervor and
he seemed inspired by something more
celestial than the necessities Of tarifr legis-
lation. His words produced a curious CULVER
throughout the listening scores.
Mr.. President. / think we ought to ad-
journ until Monday. I think that it is only
proper. Tomorrow is Good Friday Yester-
day was Ash Wednesday, I believe ard to-
morrow will be Good Friday. must insist
upon my motion"
Not Early, but Sudden Piety.
This sudden accession Of piety on the part
OF the senior Senator from Indiana caused
q gentle smile. q smile OF amusement as
well as a smile of gladness and congratula-
ton. to spread over the Senate. Senator
Stewart stood upon one FOOT in the act Of
taking another step. like a man frozen in
his tracks. Senator wolcoet looked up from
his novel and stared at his old time foe Of
the silver fight. Mr.. Hoar ceased pulling
his red tape through his fingers and let his
lower jaw drop in his Amazement Mr.
Berry, who was standing with out his crutch-
es. grasped the desks between which he
stood for a support.
Mr.. Voorhees, alone was calm. He stood
firmly In the attitude Of one who is de-
termined to do what he considers to be
right at all hazards. He might have been
mistaken for a martyr Of old. He gently
but firmly insisted upon his motion. There
was a brief colloquy between him and the
still astonished Berry. which ended in the
claring IL carried, despite a few weak mega
lives and the demand Of Senator Call for
the yeas and nays" which aroused Mr..
Pugh to contemptuous snort.
Then Mr.. Voorhees, sat down. satisfied. and
q religious light played over his face and
accompanied him out of the chamber later
when he went to the finance committee

MAY PROVE A MURDER.
Result of VIM. Dauy's Assault Upon
His Wife With . Cane.

William r. Daily q colored man living at
1919 street southeast. was a prisoner IN
Judge MiHers court this morning. and al
though the charge against him was only
simple assault, 1t is probable that his victim
will die from the effects Of the blow. The
affair happened early last evening" and Po-
1iceman Andrews had the man in custody
a short while after the blow was inflicted.
1t appears that Daily and his wife had
some trouble on the street, and he followed
her into the house William had his cane
with him. and he proceeded to use IL
on his wife. and Daniel GUNNER. a two
year-old son of Joseph GUNNER, who Is
Dailys next-door neighbor. The child was
near the belligerent couple. and when the
heavy cane came down, as William sup
posed to hit his wife. 1t missed its mark
and fell upon the child's head, fracturing
its skull. DR.. J. A. Mudd attended the child
This morning he sent to court q certificate
stating that the child was suffering from a
fracture and depression Of the skull
Mr.. Jeffords called the courts attention
to the case, and the man was committed
without bail to await the result Of the
childs injuries.

Collapse Of the Defense.
Counsel for the prisoner signally failed to
establish, by the four or I'VE witnesses
called on his behalf. any intimacy between
the assaulted women and the family Of Rob-
lnson, although colored man swore he had
seen Mrs. Hefiin eating at Mrs. Robinson
table.
Lena Jackson. the mother Of the prisoner
White. testified that she called on the
women last week. when they told her that
the men used no force. She also stated that
Mrs. Elliott told her that when witness son
left them the night Of the assault he said
Cod bless you. and she (Ars. Elliotp re-
piled God bless you"
Mrs. Jackson also stated that the women
told her that II it had not been for her son.

them.
The mother and sister Of Robinson also

Mrs: Heffiin, being recalled by the state,
denied the statements of witnesses for the
defense and swore that she had never stated

the evidence on both sides. and the case was
submitted without arguments.

In support of his motion. The motion went
over until this morning. and Mr.. Campbell
then moved for continuance Of the case
until the March term of the court stating
that his client had only been indicted Mon
day last and 1t would be both an injustice
ana hardship to force him to go trial so
soon. The motion was promptly overriled
and the court adjourned at o'clock until
tomorrow morning. when. Mr.. Campbell

Not I'm the Record


Not I'm the Record.
And now come two or three important ana
interesting questions. In the FIRST placs,
what influence caused Mr. voorhees, to
try to beat the record by anticipating things
Tor six weeks? In the second place. why
did the rest OF the Senate agree to his en-
terprising endeavorf
Then again, in the light of Mr. voorhees,
ideas as to the church calendar, how ala
Mr.. Voorhees, happen to know that .yester-
day" was Ash Wednesday?
1t has been suggested that perhaps Mr..
voorhees, thought as Good Friday is a NOV
able feast according to the chronology OF
the church. there was nothing to hinder him
from moving IL along 70 suit his own con-
yenience. But that Is a mere conjecture.
II might be noted. I'm passing that this

sULLIvAN's LATEST OPERA
The First Production Of "The Chief
tain" Called Success In London.

The First Production Of 1.-THE Chief
tain" Called q Success IN London.
"Ths Chieitain," the new comic
opera by Arthur Sullivan and +. G.
Burnand, the editor OF Punch, was
produced tonight at the Savoy
Theater, says a London telegram OF
Dec. II, and met with a favorable re-
ception at the hands Of a large and
distinguished audience. Mrs. Ronalds
occupied the composers box, while
the other notabilities present in
cluded Lady de- Grey, Lord aud Lady
CURSOR, Lord Chief Justice Russell
and numerous others.
The action OF the opera is located
in Spain, chiefly among a band OF
brigands into whose hands some
British tourists fall. The great feat
ure OF the opera is the delightful re-
suit with which Sullivan has adapt
ed Spanish musical effects. Some OF
the ballads and concerted pieces will
live among his best comic opera
work. Burnand's book, though
amusing in some parts, is rather
thin, the composer completely domi-
mating the situation throughout.
Sullivan conducted and with Bur
nand was enthusiastically called at
the close.

AN INTERNATIONAL STAMP.
Proposition to Adopt One for the
Postal Union

The American Consul at Client
reports to the State Department
that the German Government Is
about to place, or has already placed,
. proposition before other countries
for an international postage stamp.
II is minated that only certain
European countries are expected to
adopt such . stamp, but the hope Ii
expressed that the United States
will enter the agreement.
The Consul explains the advan-
tages Of sucn a stamp, and calls at
tention to the existing troubles that
would be obviated by its use. He
says at present il a merchant wishes
information from . foreign country,
In writing to q stranger he is obliged
TO rely upon the lstter's generosity
to pay the postage on his reply.
Especially 10 this fact true in respect
to foreign representatives abroad.
For example, United States Consuls
in Europe receive many letters OF
inquiry without the Enclosure OF .
stamp which, no doubt, many OF
their correspondents would send II
there were to be purchased in the
United States . stamp which was
good for postage abroad.
The German Minister OF Posts has
designed such a stamp and formu-
lated plan for its adoption by
some OF the members, at least, OF the
Postal Union. 1t is understood that
the stamp is TO contain the names OF
all the countries in which il will be
current, and its value in the cur
rency OF each country will appear
on its face Washington Nems.
