MISS KERFOOT ASSAULTED
Sam johnson Identified ae the
Prompt Action
Of the Grand Jury-He
Confessed His Guilt

Anna NJ. Kerf0ot, the 1G-year old
daughter of Thomas +. Kerf00t,
keeper Of Lock No. / on the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal, at Mer-
cersville, Washington county,
was assaulted at lL30 O'Clock
Thursday morning, the 9th ulto.,
in a wood near Mondell'S Station.
on the Norfolk and Western Rail
road, by negro man.
The girl was going to a store at
MOndelPs when the negro APP
preached her. She says he asked
the way to the nearest farmhouse.
She gave him the direction and
he seemed 10 start for it, but after
the girl had walked some distance
she was suddenly seized from be
hind by the negro.
He choked her and threatened
to kill her il she made any cutlery.
and carried her into the woods.
choking her as he went. In the
woods he tore OFF her clothing and
assaulted her brutally. He tuld
the girl lie would kill her if she
told any one and then lie disap-
peared.
She told the story of the affair
as soon as she could and the ell
tire community was aroused. AT
8 O'Clock that night a negro, Sam
johnson, was caught in Lock
Woods, near Williamsport, by
Lewis Byron and Harold Foster.
He seemed to answer the descrip
ton. They hurried him to JUS
tice Arthur G.. Grubcr's Office.
where he was locked up. Officers
from HagerStown were telephOned
for News of the arrest spread.
The streets Of Williamsport were
packed with an EXCITED throng
on horseback and foot. Crowds
gathered in Hagerstown and at
Mondells body Of horaemen
was organized and dashed off for
Williamsport, evidently with a
view of lynching the man. He
was secretly taken to Hagerstown
and locked up.
On Friday the negro johnson
was fully identified as the brute
who assaulted Miss Kerfoot. lie
was taken into the presence of
the girl who recognized him at
once. Her assurance could not
be shaken. The father of the
girl helped to quiet the mob that
gathered in front of the Jail yard
and threatened lynching. John.
son was held in IS, 900 bail for a
hearing on Tuesday.
The grand jury of Washington
county brought in an indictment
against the negro Johnson for fe
lonious assault upon Miss Anna
May Kertoot. 1t is thought the
trial will not consume over one
day. Johnson has confessed to
the charge against him. He is
now confined in the Baltimore
City jail and will be taken to
HagerstOwn on trial.
The speedy action ON this case
by the authorities has prevented
the people in that section from
taking the law into their own
hands. If in all such cases the
majesty of the law could be in
voked within a reasonable time.
without the vexatious delays and
quibbling that usually occur,
there would be fewer lynchings

were made with various cements

inches square and two feet long,
in which were imbedded iron rods

reached that building founda-
tons with cores would be far less
liable to injury from settling, un
equal expansion and shock, and
that wrought iron and hard rail
steel add much greater strength
to mortar and concrete than the
iron usually employed for cores.

Comparing the atmosphere of
the British metropolis with that
of towns within 100 miles, Hon.
+. A. ROllo Russell finds that in
the FIVE months ending with last
March London had rather less
than half the hours of sunshine of
inland stations, and little more
than a third of the sunshine of
places on the south coast.
The heat of sunshine is an
enormous store of energy not vet
made available. Attempts-m0re
or less encouraging-have been
male to utilize this energy, and
it is now proposed to make the sup.
ply continuous by storing some of
the heat. A large conical copper
reflector, with a boiler of heavy
glass i'll its center, is suggested
as a collector. The heat thus
gathered would be stored in a
reservoir of sand, surrounded BY
a heavy woollen covering, and
would be retained long time, it
is believed, radiation being very
slow. A simple mechanism can
lie made to keep tie con-
zeal reflector poi ted toward the
sun when in action. The obvi-
Gus difficulty in the way of carry
ng out such a plan is the great
ize it wo Id be necessary to give
the apparatus to gain any cons:d-
cradle power, but it seems quite
possible hat engines and dyna-
mos may yet be driven by the ell
ergy stored from the SUMS rays
as heat.

MIND IS GONE
Joseph NObil, a Well Known
Old Timer, Is Insane.
THE PACE THAT KILLS
Is Responsible For His Condition.
His Money Went With His
Reason.

Joseph Nobil, a we'll known old-t.me
resident of the city, was arrested last
night by the police on a charge of insan-
ity. and was taken to the county Jail to-
day, and the proper legal steps have been
taken which will probably result in his
becoming an inmate of the state asylum
at Warm Springs. Nobil has been under
police surveillance for several days past,
and has on several occasions been in Gus
tody, when it was thought that his men
tai arrangement was only a temporary
weakness. But it seems that his malady
is more deeply seated than was at first
thought, and a brother, who arrived from
Portland yesterday to look into his con-
dition, in consultation with his friends,
has decided that the state sanitarium is
the proper place for him, where, after a
few months of skillful treatment he may
regain the use Of his mental faculties.
While the mental weakness has been
apparent to his friends for some time
past, until the last two weeks it has not
been such as to cause alarm. Last Sat-
urday he drew all his cash from a local
bank, amounting to about $4,000, and
when arrested last night the woman with
whom he has been living turned over to
Chief of Police Lavelle a certificate of de-
post for 81, 200, all that was left of the
money that was drawn out of the bank a
few days ago. AS to the whereabouts of
the missing 5000 neither the woman nor
Nobil know anything. In fact. Nobil
seems to care very little about it. He is
known to ave been carrying the roll
with him Saturday and Sunday,
and to have displayed it Unfortunately.
The woman is of the opinion that he Wis
tied the bad lands, and in his lrresponsi-
Bile condition, proved an easy victim. His
rooms in the Stephens block were search
ed last night by Chief Lavelle n Detec-
tive Murphy, blu nothing could be found.
In the old days Nobil conducted a sa-
loon and did a thriving business, and
since going out Of that business has acted
the local representative Of a California
wine house, in which capacity he has en-
a good trade, and has made a very
comfortable income. During the past two
or three years he has gone at the pace
that kills, and much Of his earnings Of
former years has been ~squandered, al
though he has always managed to keep a
comfortable balance in the bank. The
bulk of this has gotten away from him
during the past two or three days. His
mind is in such a condition that he can
give the officers no clew to work upon.
