TO ESCAPE A STATES
PRISON SENTENCE
Discovery of a Plot of the
Goldbergs.
Contemplated Murder and Suicide
in the Criminal COur..
The Imprisoned Housebreaker At.
tempts Suicide-Sequei to the
TOpham Robbery.

The timely discovery of q deeply laid
plot, which might have resulted in sui
eide and murder in one of the criminal
courts of the District has frustrated the
purpose of the would-be participants in
the double tragedy. The persons who it
is said intended to take this means of ex-
tricating themselves from trouble and dis
grace are Charles Goldberg, now in the
District Jail awaiting sentence for the
crime of housebreaking, and his pretty
seventeen-y -year-old wife, Maggie Goldberg,
who has been in the city for some time
using every influence to help her husband.
1t is stated upon the best authority
that some time last week Charles Gold
berg attempted to commit suicide in his
cell in the Jail by drinking a decoction
made of the heads of sulphur matches
dissolved in water. His attempt to end his
life in this way seems to have been we'll
known TO his wife, although it was not
stated that she in any way participated in
her husbands effort to take his life by
giving any assistance whatever.
Failing to accomplish his purpose in
this way, it seems that another plan was
adopted in which the prisoners ever
faithful wife was to have taken a prom
inent part. The facts in the case, as
learned them from a friend who occupies
a position under the Government, are, in
brief, that, having failed to accomplish
his purpose to take his life by drinking the
decoction made of match heads, Goldberg
appealed to his wife to aid him in escap-
ing not alone long term of Imprisonment
but also everlasting disgrace. After much
hesitation, it is said, she unwillingly con-
sented, and plan was adopted by which
not only her husband, but she also, would
avoid lifelong humiliation. With this de-
termination it is said that Mrs. Goldberg
consented to be present when her husband
is called UP for sentence, and that should
the judgment of the court be a term of
years in the penitentiary that she would
then and there in the court room end her
husbands life with pistol shot and then
turn the weapon upon herself.
Since 1t was discovered that Goldberg
had attempted to commit suicide it IS
stated that he is watched at the Jail with
extra precaution.
Goldberg was arrested in this city on
November % last and charged with hav-
ing robbed the stores of James Topham
and julius Kaufman on Thanksgiving
night. In fact, it is alleged by the detec
tives that part of the stolen property was
found in his possession as he was about
to take train for Winston, N c., where
his father lives. Goldberg's young broth
er and a colored boy were also arrested
for completely with the robberies. referred
to but were acquitted of the charge. When
Goldberg was arraigned for trial, how
ever. he pleaded guilty and was remanded
to jail to await sentence. Before the next
sentence day arrived, however, Chief JUS
tice Bingham, who presided at the hear
ing, was taken i'll with the grip and has
not attended to any business at the court
since. In the meantime Charlie has been

CURRENT EVENTS

GENERAL BUSINESS REVIVAL
Good Times Predicted With the
Coming of Springfield Estate
TRANSACTIONS

There is a feeling among business men
of the section west of Rock Creek that
Georgetown is on the eve of a general re-
yival in business, and real estate circles 1t
seems to be the consensus of opinion that
just as soon as spring comes the sale of
real estate will be surprising, and men
| men who have lived in Georgetown and
been engaged in business for over forty
years say that the outlook is brighter than
ever before. There are a number of out
side influences aiding the general upward
tendency which is now making itself ap-
parent. The proposed construction of a
railroad over the bed of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, the entrance of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad into Georgetown,
and the general revivifyng of business in
the District, and, in fact, all over the Uni
ted States, all tend to the advancement of
Georgetown interests. There are a num-
ber of internal influences which are having
due amount of weight. The building by
some of the wealthiest citizens of the Dis
trict of magnificent homes on the heights
of Georgetown, the construction of addi-
tions to the American University, the
building of the Episcopal University, which
will be commenced in few weeks on the
ground already purchased on Thirty second
Street extended, and the general manifes-
tation of interest in the affairs of the town
which is being participated in by a large
number of citizens, as shown by the pro-
posed organization of Business Mems and
Citizens Association, which it is expected
will be perfected during the latter part of
the present week. help the upward move
ment. 1t is only question of a week OF
two when operations will be commenced.
Even now pleasant day has stimulating
effect. A number of transfers in real es-
tate have been made in the past two or
three days. John F. Waggaman and wife
have sold TO Emil G. Schafer lots 13 to 16,
In block %, of the Wesley Heights subdi-
vision James NJ Burns and Margaret B.
Burns have sold to Elizabeth A. Stake for
$500 lots 143 and IA, in square 1245, and
Rufus II. Darby has purchased from Henry
F. Woodard and wife half interest in lots
20 to S3, in sqpare 1889.
The Georgetown lodges of the Junior
Order of American Mechanics attended
divine service at Peck Memorial Chapel
last evening at 1880 o'clock A large num-
ber of the members of the organization
were present. Rev. Charles Alvin Smith,
the pastor of the church, preached the
Sermon which was appropriate, dealing
as it did with some of the phases of life
which appeal to the young man.
DR.. P. T. Hale, who is conducting the
revival meetings at the Gay Street Bap-
tist Church, held four meetings yesterday,
which were largely attended. Ninteen

Many of those who have been wacthing
the Goldberg case and who have become
acquainted with the circumstances con-
nected with it have expressed the opinion
that Charlie pleaded guilty merely to
shield others who are as closely conne cted
with the robberies as himself. In fact
this much is CLEANED from the fact that
since he has appeared in court and ac-
knowledged his guilt he is now desiIous
