FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.
Columbus Fearson's Attorneys Nov.
ing for New Trial.

Judge Cole has taken under adviseurnt
the application for a new trial of Columbus
Fearson, who was recently convicted Of the
murder Of John l.. Ford in Georgetown.
Argument was heard late yesterday after
noon Attorney Us A. Y. Bradley and Thomis
c. Taylor representing the convicted man.
District Attorney Birney and Assistant Dis
trct Attorney Laskey argued for the prose
cution.
Mr.. Bradley opened the argument Tor ihe
defense. and called the courts attention 10
the discrepancies in the testimony OF the
governments witnesses He reviewed the
statement OF carson that Ford came t. his
house in a threatening manner and threw
stones at the old man. This, Mr.. Brady
held, constituted sufficient ground for the
defense of self defense.
Judge Cole instructed the jury at the uial
that there was nothing in the evidence to
warrant the belief that Ford's actions CON
stituted sufficient force to justify Pearson
in shooting. The point made by the Ge-
fense was that the Jury and not the coIrt
should have decided as To the suffiCicnHy
OF Ford's actions. Mr.. Birney contended 10
the contrary.
After other legal points had been CHS
cuSsed udGe Cole announced that he would
reserve his decision.

States Consul Tingle, at Brunswick, Ger
many.
He predicts that the German market vii
next Year grow to very large prupOI Itions
and by proper methods American manu-
facturers can secure u very good share
OF it.
Tuey must, however. begin at once to
perfect their plans, for the campaign will
open very early next spring and the ne Nt
season will see in Germany as great tn
thusiasm for the sport as now exists in the
United States.
The consul says that the German wheels
are heavy, clumsy and Of poor materials,
but because their price is lower than that
asked for the high grade American wheels
and because the latter are persistently mis-
represented by the German merchants, the
Americans have been kept out OF the
mar ket.
1t is noticeable that the larger cgcle
manufacturers are. almost without eXcep-
ton, furnishing the 81 models with kcyl,ss
cranks, thus doing away with the crank
key or pin.
For several years the tendency has been
in thisdirection, andsome makers ha We been
using keyless cranks ON their '96 models
with more or less success.
Judging from the large number Of prom-
nent bicycles which will in 1897 he fitted
with patent keyiess crauks and shafts, it
is evident that the new style of constructi On
in this most important part OF the bicycle
has entirely superseded the old style.

The petition for n writ Of habcas corpus
IN the Chapman recalcitrant witness cas-.

mitted TO the United States Supreme Court
until District Attorney Birney moves To
have the highest tribunals man,ist" upon
the reccnt decision sent 10 the court OF
appeals.
In this connection an amusing story Is
told OF Broker Chapman and Bailiff Cook.
During the recent trial the broker was al
lowed limited liberty by Judge Cole. who
consigned him TO the custody of Marshal
A. A. Wilson. Bailiff Cook was detailed
to be Mr. Chapman's guide. counsellor and
guard during the month OF the trial
"The bailiff had a good thing while it
lasted" said one of the brokers' friends
yesterday. He ate four meals lay
at the Arlington. and saw the sights of
the city, and all at poor Chapman's s expense
The law officer also lodged with Chapman;
in fact, slept in the same room with him,
and they were almost inscparable. Once
in q while Chapman would break away,
and tell the bailiff to meet him at a certain
place hours later Sure enough, they'd get
together again, and the bailiff's high
life would be resumed.
Il hope Shrive and Edwards, the news
paper men, will get a sentence of sixteen
years each. Mccartney and Chapman have
got to serve time, all for their fault, and
hope the judge will soak them"

IT'S FREEDMAN NOW.
New YOrk's President Emphatically
Denies the Rusie story.

New York, Dec. 3.-Local baseball men
talked freely yesterday about the report
from Muncie, Ind, that Amos Rusie and
the New York Baseball Club had buried the
hatchet, and the pitcher would arrive in
this city at the close OF the week TO sign a
contract for next season.
Andrew Freedman was asked whether he
expected to see Rusie in this city in the
near future. Not that know of, he re-
piled.
IF RUsie comes, he will find contract
ready for him to sign, but on the same basis
as last season. If Rusie wants to sign, 1t
wouldn't be necessary for him to come to
New York as a contract in Compliance with
the National League rules was mailed 10
him some time ago.
''If he expects that the fines will be re-
mitted, or that he will receive last seasons
salary, he will be sadly mistaken. As to
giving him 1000 salary, Rusie might as
well ask for $4,000, for he won't get
either amount. There is no truth in the
story that Manager Joyce and myself have
been negotiating with Rusie.
Joyce has not been near Rusie, and he
does not intend to go near him, either. If
Rusie decides to behave himself, we viii

TALES OF THE TOWN.

Friends Of Mary Helen Carroll, the sister
of the late Anna Ella Carroll, are trying
10 raise fund that VIII support her dur
ing the few years Of life remaining To her.
Anna Carroll was a wonderful woman in
many WAYS. During the late war she per-
formed many tasks in aid OF the Union
cause, but her chief claim upon the Nation
today lies in the TACT that she planned
the Tennessee campaign, which resulted
successfully and gave ultimate victory to
thoes who Wore the blue.
The end Of her life was sad, and but
for public appeals by warm-Le artcd friends,
from which she received aid, Anna Carroll
would have suffered for the Decessaries OF
existence.
Cassius M. Clay and many other states
men have established the fact, as the Con
gressional records show, that Anna Carroll
was the originator of the wonderful Ten
ncsscc military maneuvers and operations
which the Union generals observed to the
letter. hut il did not become generally
known till long after the war. 1t was dis
putcd at first, few believing that woman
possessed the military genius displayed by
the war plans, but later the evidence in
her favor was rendered inpregnable.
Mary Helen Carroll supported her sister
Anna in this city during all the years that
she was utterly helpless from paralysis.
She worked in the Treasury Department Tor
ter with a quiet home and such comforts
as she was still able to enjoy
Mary gave up every moment Of her
leisure time in sitting daily at her sister $
bedside, reading the new spapers and ma "a
Zines 10 her. and surrounding the invalid
with a sisterly love that was faithful and
untiring TO the end.
Mary Carroll is now advanced in years
and is III failing health. Her physicians
say her life would be prolonged by COM
plete change OF situation and freedom from
pecuniary anxiety. Her lungs are not
strong, and sine has been advised to 20
South in quest OF balmieT atmosphere and
easier surroundings.
1t has been suggested that she is worthy
of a moderate pension from the govern
ment. hut il is feared by her friends that
this is impossible. Therefore efforts are
now being made to collect privately the
money needed from those who knew Anna
Carroll in her life and who appreciate the
devotion and self sacrifice shown by her
sister, Mary.
