The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-29

Sons of Liberty, let us act-let us
get under one benner-tbe banner
OF American freedom and American
prosperity. Let as drive the enemy
from our shores and plant that ban
ner once more upon the dome of the
nations capitol.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-29

There is but one way that the
gold men can be beaten. That ia
for the patriots of the two old par
ties to come together. Then all the
prtr'ots would be in one party while
the gold men would be divided into
two gold parties with two gold can
didates.
Patriots, the path of duty and the
road to victory is plain. The battle
must be fought-the hour has
struck-the opportunity is here
Will you seize it! Think of the d.
rectlon in which this country is now
drifting and what the end will be! Let
us show that We are worthy sons of
our ancestors. The British are again
on our shores and the Tories are
going to their assistance.

the jury. and this morning Mr.. Perry closed
his argument.
Mr.. Perry dwelt upon the statement of
Mr.. Olmstead that his wife never Informed
him of the provisions of her will. The will
was made on the 9Th Of June. 1889. and
Mrs. Olmstead died the LIST Of the following
August. 'Do you believe, gentlemen of the
jury" asked Mr.. Perry, that this wife.
this dying woman. going cut into the un-
known world. denied herself the pleasure
and qualification of telling her husband of
what she had done for him in her will?
Can you believe such a thing? If you do
rot, then you cannot believe, you should
not believe, anything else Mr. Olmstead has
| testified to in the case. And if you do not
believe his testimony his case fails. for
without his testimony his whole case
amounts to nothing"
Mr.. Perry then referred to the large num-
Ter Of witnesses who Mr. Olmstead sought
to contradict by his own testimony, re-
marking that the case made out by Mrs.
Webb had been endeavored to be brushed
aside by a mere outnumbering of her wit
nesses. But when the testimony of Mr..
Oimsteads witnesses was closely examined,
said Mr.. Perry. it became convincngly APP
parent that his witnesses merely stated
tEat they had not seen what the witnesses
for Mrs. Webb had seen. People, however

wear their hearts upon their sleeves, and

Selling Rnd Cranes.

Saturday night at the Riggs market col
ored man named Charles Barker and a for
eigner named Simon Reuben were selling
grapes from a push cart at five cents a
basket. The low price asked for the fruit
aroused the suspicious of Food Inspector
Motnershead and the police. and the men
were arrested. Barker. incensed at his ar
conduct the additional charge of profanity
was preferred against him. Selling unsound
fruit was the charge on which the men were
arraigned in the Police Court today. 1t
transpired that they were employed by
Simon Kavitts of 1722 Clicks alley, and
their employer was in court to look after
them. Judge kimball heard the case of the
two men, and took their personal bonds.
A charge of violating the health laws was
filed against Kayitts, and fine Of SO was
imposed.

SENTENCED TO HANG
John Harris Will Die Friday, January
81.
The Murder of Matthew Spruell Of
Which He Was Convicted
He Was Cool. u.,l

John, alias Patsy Harris, a young col
ored man, was sentenced by .IIdgc Cole
this afternoon to be hanged Friday, the
31st of next January, for the murder Of
Matthew Spruell, cclored, the 4th of last
July.
Harris was convicted before judge Cole
in Criminal Court No. last month, and
last Saturday the court overrulad the mo-
ton of his attorneys, Mcssrs. Thompson
and Fraley, for a new trial.
From the testimony given at the trial 1t
appeared that Harris, Who several years
ago served term in the penitentiary for
Spruell occupied rooms N the same house
III Georgetown. On the afternoon of the
murder the men became engaged in slight
quarrel the result of which was that Har-
RS went off for his pistol, threatening to
kill Spruell before the day was over.
Securing his pistol, he at once started after
Spruell. The latter being warned, ran out
into the street. Harris, pistol in hand, fol-
lowed him. and when Spruell lodged into
an open doorway, ran in after him, firing
twice at the fleeing man as the latter ran
up the stairway of the house to escape his
infuriated pursuer. Spruell died almost i'm
mediateiy. one of the shots passing through
his body. and Harris was arrested a short
distance from the scene of the tragedy.
When asked whether he had anything to
say why sentence should not be pronounce
ed Harris replied: mo, sir Judge Cole.
without making any comment, then said:
Harris, the sentence of the law is that
you be taken back to the District JAIL
whence you came, and there be closely con-
fined until Friday, the 31st day of January
1896. wien you shall be taken to the place
prepared for your execution, within the
walls of said Jail, and there, between the
hours of 10 am. and l pm, you snail be
hanged by the Eeck until you be dead And
may God have mercy en- your soul!'
Although apparently deeply impressed.
Harris heard his fate calmly, and, after his
counsel had given notice of an appeal to
the Court of Appeals. the unfortunate man
was hurried to the cage below and then
back to Jail. When asked by Baliff
Springman what he got, Harris coolly re-
piled: Il got the rope"

PASTOR AND LYCEUM,
Trouble Between Father Griffith and
Some of His ParishiOners.

Trouble Between Father Griffith and
Some of His ParishiOners.
The usual serenity that pervades Saint
Augustines Church, on 18th street, was
disturbed yesterday when Father Griffith,
the pastor of the church. announced during
the services that the organization known
as Il Overture Lyceum," which occu-
pies among the colored Catholics of the
District the same relations as the Carroll
Institute among the white members of the
church, would not be further recognized by
the Church of st. Augustine. The lyceum
Is located within the parish of st. Angus
tine, but some of its seventy-five members
reside in other parishes. 1t occupies a
comfortable club house on 18th street
above Nj, and is in a prosperous condition.
The immediate reason for the announce e.
ment of yesterday was stated to be the
fact that the lyceum had chosen an even
ing for an entertainment that had also
been chosen as the date for a lecture to be
given by the parish in the church hall
Inc refusal of the officers of the lyceum
to change their date brought upon the
organization the displeasure of the pastor
Members of the lyceum are indignant,
and at the regular meeting of the organ
iZation this evening plans for opposing this
move, 1t is understood. will be discussed
