Was at First Intended.
WI L Do WORK THEMSELVES
WORK ON STEEL PLANT BUILDING

Work on Foundations for Plant be-
gan Less Than Five Months Ago.

1t was learned last night that the Ala
bama Steel and Wire company al Ensley
had decided to build all of their big plant at
that city themselves, instead of having it
built by contractors.
The officials of the company at first in
tended to let the building of the rod mill
proper to some contractor, they themselves
having nothing to do with the construction.
1t was intended, however, that the company
should itself erect the wire and the nail
mills, its own officials buying the material
and experimenting the work.
Now, however, the officials have decided
not to build any part or their plant by
contract, but to have all the work done
themselves. They have Furthermore decid-
ed to build their whole plant out of brick
and have contracted with the Ensley Brick
company for one million bricks, which will
be used in the work.
The plant of this brick company is To-
Gated only about a stones throw from the
site of the mill, and is another one of Ems
ley's big enterprises which has only gone
into operation within the past few months
The brick, as they are received direct
from the kiln, will either be lad by men
employed by the company direct, or the
work OF laying them will be done by con-
tractors, as is the case of the basic steel
mill

Open Hearth Furnace Building

Col. A. M. Shook. of the Tennessee com
pany, said yesterday that the work of
erecting the main building of the Alabama
Steel and Shipbuiding company would be-
gin on Monday. All of the columns which
are to support the immense roof, and all
of the big beams which are to be used in
the overhead work are already on the
ground, and with the company's big travel
ing crane, the work of putting them in
place will proceed rapidly.
About the middle of July the work of
clearing off the site of the big plant began,
and during the four and a half months
since that time the work of laying
the foundations has been going on rapidly.

The negro Francis Lingo, the attempted
abductor of Miss Katherine Berry, a
former student of Stephenson Seminary
in this place and daughter of the late
chas. j. Berry of this county. was on the
27th ult., at Camden, Nj, sentenced to
twenty years at hard labor in the New
Jersey state prison and to pay a fine of
SO, 900. being given the full penalty of
the law for the three crimes of which he
was convicted.
Lingo was put on trial on the charge
of attempted abduction. He was CON
victed on all three charges and was SEN
fenced to five years on each of the forg-
cry counts and ten years for ATTEMPTED
abduction.
One of the principal witnesses was phi
meas Mahan, the converted jockey. who
while prisoner in the county jail, was
posted by a turnkey so as to overhear a
private conversation between Lingo and
Ralph Donges, a young lawyer, who
called to offer his services to the prisoner.
Mahan said Lingo in answer to ques-
tons from Donges. told of his visit to the
Merchantville railroad station on the
day he expected Miss Berry to arrive and
his writing and receiving letters to get
the girl to go to Pensauken. Donges
said to Lingo, according to Mahan's tes-
timony.
" Now, Lingo. you keep your mouth
shut. Don't open it before the grand jury
or in court under any consideration. You
got through all right once and you'll get
through again. Keep your mouth shut
1 tell you"
Lingo was strongly suspected of the
murder of Annie Leconey some years
ago, and later was tried and convicted of
the murder of Mrs Miller. The verdict
in the Miller case was set aside, and he
was subsequently relieved of the charge
The awful fate that Miss Berry proba-
bly, escaped is told in the following from
/ the Philadelphia Record of December 20:
Additional horror was given yes
terday the plot which Francis Lingo had
apparently laid against Miss katherine
Vassar Berry, the pretty Southern girl,
whom he endeavored to lure TO lonely
part of Camden county. The authorities
of Merchantville believe that the negro
deliberately dug in the woods near Pen
saukin station hole which he intended
for grave for the unsuspecting young
woman, and that his wicked design in.
cluded her death and the hiding of her
body where it could not well be found as
evidence of the awful crime" Proof ex
