Parkersburg, W. Va, March Inc
hearing Of Jim Sherman, the mulat1o'
identified as the assailant OF Lulu
WethereH. was held here to-day.
The hearing was conducted secretly
and no one but the authorities knew
the exact hour
The prisoner was taken from the jail
to Justice Beckwith's Office unnnotIced

torneys. r. b. Burk and ]. A. Watson.
sherman demanded a hearing, not
withstanding his attorneys advice that
he waive an examination. The only
witness examined was the little child
who was assaulted. and who testified
that she had seen Sherman before;
that he was the man who struck her
ON The night of the assault; that he had
her cloak over his head and she after
wards saw him very plainly.
sherman was. as usual, very sullen
and imrudent and offered no witnesses
and when asked if he could i've $4,000

that much money
He was bound over in that sum to
answer before the next term Of the
Criminal Court
sherman. it is said, has confessed
the crime to a prisoner named Luther
Hawkins in Jail here, who says that
sherman few days ago told him he
committed the assault. The alleged
confession is similar to the one said to
have been made by Sherman to Bert
Wade. i'm Jail at Uniontown.
sherman denies the statement, how
ever. and says he will not confess to
any one.
Quite q scene was created at the
hearing when The authorities made an
effort TO photograph the prisoner, who
was not aware of what was transporting
until the photographer was about to
act. Suddenly he saw the camera and
pulled his hat down over his face and
croucbed into the chair, drawing his
coat mn over his head. He could not
be persuaded to face the camera, and
fought like demon when the officers
aftemDted TO hold him before it. The
Justice ordered a block and tackle
brought i'm with which TO hang Sher-
man mp before the camera. While
awaiting tine arrival Of the apparatus,
sherman espied a bottle Of red ink on
the desk. which he at once smeared
over his face. presenting a horrible ap-
pearance but not affecting the work
of the photographer. Sherman was
haud-cunsd and hung up by the officers.

ON leaving the Office Sherman threw
his hat in the fire, but the officers re-
covered it and returned it to him. He
destroyed il tonight.
A large crowd gathered about the
Office during the latter part Of the hear
ing and cries of Put the rope about
his neck was heard from some one
ON the inside.
The photograph proved Of no ac-
count. and another will be taken. The
officers regard Sherman as the mean

prove. as do all cut and dried adduc-

ridiculous feat as described by the
Quaker poet. Such statements are idle.

and steadfast will. OF hu1nor there was
much in her composition, and when q
girl she was known as one fond Of
wholesome pleasures Of all kinds.
The house inhabited by Barbara
Fritchie at Friedrich was a story and a
half cottage Of brick and stone. with
high gables and dormer windows, de-
void Of external show or decoration.

side Of this bridge there was a fight of
stone steps, which led to a large, square
spring, from which the Fritchie family
obtained its supply Of water for drink
ing and all household purposes. There
were two iron clippers fastened by
chains to n side Of the rocky wall,
and here the thirsty wayfarers stopped
to drink and gossip.
When the Confederate army. under
General Lee, evacuated Frederick,
closely followed bM the Union troops
underGen. Mcclellan, Barbara Fritchie
kept a small silken flag flying from the
dormer window of her house. 1t was
an old revolutionary flag handed down
to her from her ancestors and deeply
priced through many memories. When
the Union soldiers entered the town

troops marched by she stood in her
doorway, proudly waving it above her
