MURDERER BERRY SENTENCED.
The Negro slayer of Miss Clarke Must
Die For His Crime.

The Negro Slayer OF Miss Clarke Must
Die For His Crime.
Baltimore, May 17.-John Berry, tho
1S-year-old colored boy who killed
Miss Amanda Clarke. by WI ON he was
employed as a servant, near Bowie,
Prince Georges county, was yesterday
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree by a jury in the criminal court
and sentenced by Judge Wright to be
hanged. He received the sentence
with the same Indifference he has ex-
hibited since the trial began Monday
morning.
Berry, on the evening of March IS,
beat Miss Amanda Clark and her sis
ter, Miss Annie Clark, with a billet
of wood Miss Amanda died on the fol-
lowing day without regaining con-
seriousness. Miss Annie recovered from
the assault before the negro secured
any of the valuables for which he
committed the deed. With threats of
again attacking her. Berry compelled
her to swear on the crucifix that she
would not make known the occurrence
of the night. He then, upon her solicit
tation, notified priest and a physician
that their services were needed at tho
house.
Berry was suspected of being the
murderer, and was at once arrested
upon suspicion. His counsel had the
case removed to Baltimore, on the
ground that he could not secure fair
trial in Montgomery county.

1T is announced in political quart
ers that Mrs. John Reynolds has been
decided upon as the successor to her
late husband, as postmaster at Maha-
noy Plane. There was quite con
test for this office, William Middleton,
one of the most prominent and in
huential Republicans of that place
being candidate and having the
support of the party workers. Sen
ator Penrose, since the retirement of
Mr.. Brumm, has the selection of
postmasters in this county, and he
makes his selections upon the recon-

liable authority, that Hon. Elias
Davis, in company with Major Finney
and John ]. Coyle, called upon the
Senator and secured the appointment
of Mrs. Reynolds And now the un-
successful candidates are kicking.
