BUXTON ASSAULT CASE.
Coat Found Identified to Have be-
lOnged to Randolph.


lOnGed to Randolph.
What Is considered the missing link in the
chain of evidence tending to prove Sydney
Randolph guilty Of the murderous assault
en- the members Of the Buxton family near
Gaithersburg. Md, some months ago, was
discovered late yesterday afternoon. The
day Following the assault a colored girl tes-
titled that she saw Randolph In the vicinity
OF the Buxton house soon after the bloody
ceed was committed. At the time. she said.
he wore dark coat with pin stripe. The
night preceding the assault Randolph visit
ed several stores In Gaithersburg, wearing
coat of the pattern described. When
placed under arrest he was coatless, and
the woods and streams in the vicinity were
searched for the missing garment but all
efforts in that direction proved unavailing.
E. 7. Mills, who owns a farm located
about one mile from the Buxton residence
" bile removing stones from pile that has
teen lying in grove Of woods on his prop
erty yesterday afternoon unearthed a coat
which has been identified to be the one
worn by Randolph. On both lapels were
splashes OF blood and on the lower portion
OF the garment is a bloody smear, as
though a hand had been wiped thereon.
1t was recalled to mind that Randolph
wes traced to the stone pile in question,
and the supposition is that in crossing a
small branch nearby he washed his hands,
wiped them on the coat, and proceeding to
the stone pile carefully removed the stones,
as though digging well, inferred the coat
In the aperture and as carefully closed the
opening. At the time the search was in
progress the stone pile was visited but as
1t presented every appearance of not hav-
ing been disturbed. no attempt was made
to examine its interior.
Although the general belief in the vicin-
fty of Gaithersburg is that Randolph own
ed the coat. and that he placed 1t in the
stone pile, there are some who do not hest
tate to state as their belief that the lynch
ing party. or some member of 1t. being
aware that Randolph had worn such a
coat, Embedded the garment found yester-
day in the pile for the purpose of dispelling
the feeling that an innocent man was
lynched.
