BERRi'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Prompt Action of Officials Alone Pre-.
vented Lynchiup

The sad scenes which attended the burial
of Miss Mary Amanda Clarke at White
Marsh Church, yesterday, made John
RerTys crime seem even more horrible
than before, and many citizens who at
tended the funeral expressed regret that
the youthful muHierer was permitted to
leave the county alive. Berry Will proba-
bly, never know how rear he came to being
lyEched, before he was taken to the Bal
timore Jail for safe keeping. One citizen
of the county, who visited this city yester-
day afternoon, declared the absence of a
leader was the only thing that saved Berry
from mob violence. Most of the men who
went to the house Sunday and to the in
quest at Bowie, later in the day, 1t is stat
ed, were armed. There was nobody in the
party willing to assume the leadership, and
the county officers were permitted to re-
move him to the county seat.
Another thing that favored the prisoner
and the officials that but few people
knew of the affair until after daylight, and
he was taken away before sundown. 1t has
developed that when the news of the afro
ciouS crime reached Benning Sunday morn
ing, there was meeting held near the race
track which had for its object the aveng-
Ing of Miss Clarke's death. Before anything
definite was decided upon il was learned
that the prisoner had been removed to a
place OF safety, and nothing further was
done. :,
Miss Annie Clarke the other victim OF
Berry, is still improving.
The prisoner seems to have recovered
from the scare that followed his being told
OF his probable fate. Yesterday the Rev.
Father Boone OF Loyola College visited the
prisoner, and the latter seemed to be much
more calm after his talk on religious mat
ters. Mr.. J. A. Janney. who is connected
with the prison at CheHenham where
Berry served six years, also called on him
Ihe prisoner eats everything that is set
before him. He was we'll pleased yesterday
