Normand's Case. 90 g
Whether person pronounced by the
law as civilly dead can be proceeded
against for crime committed prior tor
his civil death is question that is en-
crossing the attention of a number of at7r
torneys in North Dakota. The case in
point is that of August Normand, the
Grand Forks county murderer, who has
been found guilty and sentenced to life
imprisonment He has not been brought
to the Ipenitentiary and will have to
stand another trial for murder before
he begins TO serve out his life sentence,
and there are those who hold that if he
is convicted and sentenced TO death for
the second murder, he having commit.
ted two, he can be hanged and the life
sentence will be of no effect to save his
| life.
On the other hand, many attorneys
hold that he will have to be relieved or
| the life sentence by pardon before
sentence of death could be executed
upon him. This is peculiar case and
| is seldom paralleled. Judge Fisk of the
Grand Forks district court has ordered
that the man be tried again for murder.
! Public sentiment is so infiamed by the
fact that the first jury failed to infict
the death penalty that it is more than
probable that that punishment will be
! inflicted at the second trial II this
should be the case, Normand will stand
under sentence of life imprisonment
and one of death. Then the question
will arise as to which sentence takes
precedence. The matter will have to be
carried to the supreme court for settle

Adjournment Of Congress Today May

Whether Congress will adjourn this af-

to depend for its answer entirely upon

and White will object to the consideration
OF the Joint resolution for final adjourn
ment when 10 comes over from the House.
Under the rules. 1t is claimed, one objection
will carry this resolution over until Mon
day.
The friends of foreclosure proceedings
have their minds made up and viii defeat

yields 20 their demands IL he insists upon

cepted as filibustering by the opposition,
or if he declines to permit the vote to be

is no possible way, Mr. Harris says, by
which Congress can adjourn before Monday
Mt Thurston. when asked about it, said
that Mr.. Harris and the other Senators
would find that a resolution to adjourn
sine die was a privileged resolution and
would be put upon its passage at once.
At 1 O'Clock this afternoon the situa
ton in the Senate had changed. and TIN.
indications all pointed to an adjournment
Of Congress some time this evening. The
Republicans have found a means of circum
venting those who are contesting for q
vote on the Union Pacific foreclosure
resolutions. Senate mecedents have been
found on the question, all of them holding
that resolution to adjourn sine lie is n
privileged question and must be put with
out debate.
The Vice President viii hold that such
a resolution is privileged, and will brush
aside any objections that may be made.
The Republicans say they have the votes
TO sustain the ruling, and agree TO the
resolution, and they declare that adjourn
ment will come Before the day is over.

RALPH LANGSTON In COURT
Charged by Marie Preston With At
tempted Robbery.
Son of Former Virginia Congress-
mao and a WeIl-Known COlOred
Republican Politician.

New York, July 24.-Charged with as
sauliing and attempting to rob Miss Marie
Preston in the street, Ralph z. Langston, a
young coiored man, the son OF former Rep
resentative Langston of Virginia, was held
for examination In the jefferson Market
court yesterday.
Miss Preston, Who is an attractive look
ing young woman, is maid at the Garden
Theater Langston is a uIulatto, and well
known as politician among colcred Re
publicans He is secretary or the Albany
Club, an orga nization OF colored men at
lIs West Tbirty-first street, and held
clerical position in the last legislature at
Albany.
According to the story toldin court by Miss
Preston, she was returning TO her rome,
at No. 24s West Thirty-first street, after
the performance on Tuesday night, when
she was attacked by three coloTed men.
First they assaulted her, and then at
tempted 10 seize her hand satehel. As she
was struggling in the grasp of her assail-
aats one of them struck her on the nose
and han died her so roughly that she nearly
faited. Suffering from the heavy blow,
she started TO run, and finally, after she
had screamed several times, the men left
her.
She di q not know her assailants, but yes
terday afternoon, while passing the Albany
Club. she at once recognized Langston as
one of the men. fastening TO the West
Thirtieth street police station, she told
her story and returned 81 the clubhouse with
two policemen. Jangston had gone in side,
but he came out in few minutes, and was
arrested.
The prisoner, WHO was well dressed,
protested his innocence in court, and de-
clared that he had been In Brookly n when
the assault was alleged to have taken
place. He had never seen Miss Preston
before, he said. The young woman was
positive that Langston was one Of the
meE who had held her up, and swore that
she could identify him. In spite of his
protests the prisoner was then heldin $500
bonds for hearing on Tuesday afternoon.
Langston said that he would bring wit
ncsses to the examination who would swear
that he was in Brooklyn last Tuesday night,
and had no fear about clearing himself.
His father is now practicing law in Wash
ington. Lahgston lives at No. 120 West
Thirty-first street, but spends much of his
time at the Albany Club.

rapidly down the street.
Mrs. Heiskell was too much surprised
to cry out. and by the time she recovered
herself the thief had rounded the corner
and gotten out Of sight Unfortunately.
the street was deserted at the tine, and
no one saw the Told robbery.
Mrs Heiskell, seeing that it would be
useless to attempt TO catch the rohber,

reported at police headquarters. and De-

The pocketbook was Of black seal and

valued at SO.
Mrs Heiskell could not give a good de-
