NOTORIOUS FRANCIS LINGO.
THE NEGRO IN JAIL AGAIN ON A
A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Camden N. j.. Dec. 13-The notori-
Gus negro Francis Lingo, who is
charged with having attempted to lure
girl from this city to a lonely spot
near Merchantyille for the purpose
known only to himself, was arrested
this morning at MatohtOWn by Chief
OF Police Linderman, and once more
occupies cell in the Camden County
specific charge of having used the
United States mail for improper pur-
poses on a warrant sworn out tbefore
United States Commissioner Morgan.
Several years ago, it viii be remem-
bered, Lingo was accused of two Of
the most atrociOus murders In the his
tory Of New Jersey. His arrest
was caused by letter written by him
in reply to an advertisement Of Miss
Katherine V. Berry, of No. 2O44 North
Twelfth street. Philadelphia. who ap-
piled for a position as companion or
governess, to try to entice her to PEN
saukin, N. j., not far from the scenes
Of the murder of Annie LecOney and
believe that had Miss Berry fallen in
to the trap set for her she would have
met a fate similar to that OF those two
unfortunate women. Lingo admitted
TO the officers that he had written the
letter, but that he had been asked to
to do so by Bill Jones, who he said,
lived in Ellisburg. The police believe
that Jones is a character Of the negro's
mind.
United States Commissioner oMrgan,
who issued the warrant for his arrest,
is out of town, and Lingo will not be
given a hearing until Monday at the
earliest. Miss Berry this afternoon
identified Lingo as the person who
called on her.
Lingo is q brawny mulattO about
about forty years Of age, and has work
ed as a farm hand for years. He Is a
native of Delaware. He was tried for
the murder Of Anne LecOney, who
was killed September 8, 1890. and was
acquitted. The murder OF Mrs. Miller
occurred September 21. 1891, and Lingo
was arrested, tried and convicted OF
having killed her. He would have been
executed had not the Supreme Court
ordered a new trial, which ended in
his aequittal.

ed Labor league, at a meeting last
night, passed a resolution authorizing
the officers of the league to send a pro-
test to President Mckinley against the
appointment of eX-Chief Justice Pax

dered by Mr.. Paxson when he was
chief justice of the supreme court Of
this state in relation to the Homestead
strike. The protest will state that Mr..
Parsons appointment win be an insult
not alone to organized labor in this city
and state. but to every wOrkingman in

One physician told him that he was
not out of danger, because an abscess
might form in his head. This after
nation, however, did not depress the
Ohioan, forhe talked informally yabout it,.
He hardly thinks "that the Senate will
ratify the Hawaiian treaty of anneXa-
tion, because / hear that two-thirds Of
the Senate members will not vote for
it. Personally, / do not know how
many Senators are opposed to the trea-
ty. Hawaii, | believe, will be annexed
by joint resolution of both Houses. "
His attention was called to the fact
chat Senator Hoar had presented a pc
tition from, 21 1000 native Hawalians
who opposed annexation. "Yes, l
suppose the natives are opposed to it,
he replied.
What do you think of the Presi-
dents message in regard to Cuba?"
The situation has changed greatly in
Cuba, and l believe the Presidents
course will be approved. It IS true
that atrocities are committed in Cuba,
but the Cubans and Spaniards are
equally guilty. They fight and in
dulge in cruelties ON both sides. / sup

and you fold his hands across his
