What did you charge her with va

Minnie refused to besworn, but asked the

SHOT BY A JEALOUS HUSBAND.
william Morgan. Colored, Killed Near
Towson, Md.

Baltimore, Nd, July 3.-William Morgan,
colored, aged about twenty-e eight years, was
shot and almost instantly killed last night
by William ] Johnson, also colored, at SANDY
Bottom,'' the colored settlement near Tow
son. johnson, after emptying all the
chambers of his revolver at Morgan, went
to Towson and gave himself up to Constable
Charles H. Whitaker, who lodged him in
the county Jail.
Jealousy was the cause OF the shooting.
For a long time Morgan has had room in
the house occupied b johnson and his wife,
Clara. Johnson accused Morgan of being
attentive to his wife, who is a servant, en-
ployed by Rev. W. H. H. Powers, rector of
Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, Tow
son. Both Morgan and Clara denied that the
attentions of Morgan were anything more
than ordinary politeness, and Morgan re-
fused to give up his room in Johnson's house.
For some time it is said, johnson, had
been making threats against Morgan, and
last night, while Morgan was sitting on the
steps OF the colored Baptist church at
Sandy Bottom talking with james Curry.
Frank Tyler and Dennis p orter, all colored.
johnson, who is short. stoutly built fel--
low. crippled in his left leg. limped up to
where the men were sitting. He im:nedi-
ately accused Morganof being too attentive,
to his wife, and without further word.
pulled out q heavy revolver and began
shooting. The first shot struck Morgan
squarely in the breast splitting his breast
bone.
AT the first shot the men who were with
Morgan ran to coEnfield nearby. Morgan
jumped up with scream.and started to
run also. johnson turned toward him and
continued firing until the five chambers of
the revolver were empty. He then walked
into Towson.
Morgan ran about / so feet and then fell
in a heap. He was dead when the first
man reached him. But one bullet wound
was found on him, that which split his
breastbone.
Beyond surrendering himself to Constable
Whitaker and giving up his smoking pistol,
admitting at the same time that he was the
man who did the. shooting. johnson would
say nothing. AS soon as the news of the
shooting spread through the settlement
Clara johnson bundled up her clothes and
left the pluce. The police looked for her,
but were unable to locate her, It, Is
thoughtthatshen might have been notifiedby
her husband That he intended to shoot
Morgan. :assss se sis''''sss -.

FoRGER's CLEVER WORK.
Raised Bank Notes Being Circulated
in Chicago.

Chicago, July 23. The entire police de-

Capt. Porter, of the government service,
is working to discover who is responsible
for Il numberof raised bank notes that have
come into possession of the police through
citizens who have been swindled.
The bills originally were Of the So de-
nomination. Through skllful manipula-
ton and the use of stamps they were made
to resemble $1o bills, and the work Of
raising them is SO cleverly done that per-
sons unused to handling paper money do
not readily detect them.
Complaints to the police indicate that the
circulation OF raised bills is general in
the city.
