Only the Nerve and Grit of the Victim
Avekts the infamy.
ST. Louis, Dec 3l.-For several weeks
past big buriy, negro has been stealing
all sorts of things from the butchers and
hncksters at the Union market house, but
he always escaped arrest and the tenants
of the market became exasperated over
their losses. Yesterday the negao was
caught while carrying of two horse
blankets and the Cry OF Lynch him"
went up. A crowd Of ang-y men seized
him, bound his wrists, put rope around
his neck and strung him up by block
and tackle hanging in the market house.
But the negro was q fellow of great
nerve, and while his tongue was protrud-
ing from his mouth and his eyes were
bulginy from their sockets he made vio-
lent struggle, broke the cord which bound
his arms, and before the mob realized
what he was doing he whipped big knife
from his pocket, cut the rope round his
neck, dropped TO the ground, and ran like
n deer. He was chased by the mob and
ovcrtaken, but he turnei, and with his
big knife showed such desperate fight that
the crowd halted ard wavered, and the
negro lodged Into an alley and escaped.

New England. Deputy Marshal Shaw,
who was member of the state police in
1854 and 1885, had the case against Mrs
Davidson in charge. In speaking of it he
gave Mrs. Davidson's history as follows:
She was born in Bucksport, Me- She
married Colonel Blood, who was either
killed or died during the civil war. The
widow went to Washington, where she
attracted considerable attention while act
ing as an army nurse. After the war she

had realized 5000 upon the stock she sud-
denly disappeared. There was talk Of
suicide, but after working on the case for
several months Shaw located the woman
Ia Albany, where she was plying the
trade of insurance agent under the name
of Mary Sturgis, and where she had estaL.

church circles. She was arrested and
brought back to Massachusetts. She was
tried in Boston, the trial proving most

herself. She claimed that Two years be.

stroke, since which time her mind had
been blank.
She did not remember any OF ner pusl.
ness transactions. She claimed to be un-
able to tell how she got to Albany. So
great an impression did sho make upon
the jury that the district attorney, con-
trary to his usual custom of letting case
go to the jury without argument when
the prisouer was not defended, in the in.
tcrest of justice made an argument in the
case. The prisoner was found guilty and
sentenced to serve two years in the house
of correction at Ipswich. After leaving
the house of correction she was heard
from in different parts of the country, al

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-The case Of
Mrs. Mary A. Davidson, charged with ex-
tortion by Rev. C. Q. Brown, whom she
accused of intimacy with Miss Matte

that Police Judge Campbell was unfriend.

from the defense caused general surprise
The court denied the motion for a change

Mrs. Davidson's attorney applied for q

the bail to $1,000. Mrs Davidson ad-
dressed the court herself, dramatically
stating that no sum of money would in.

would bc on hand until this unholy
thing should be exposed in tho light of

Thursday. In conversation Mrs. David.
SON reirerates her charges against the
preacher and Miss Oyer:nan and now says
She believes the preacher and the girl have
conspired against her.
The police believe Mrs. Davidson is the

who is said to have served two years in a
house OF correction for swindling. Mrs.
Davidson corroborated several points in
the Boston dispatch regarding her mar
riage and carly life, but when asked if she
had served two years in prison she replied
she believed there was but one charge
against her at present. This evasive
answer was the only reply she would give
to the question.
