ored boy who murdered Miss Amanda

1s paid the death penalty for his crime
on the scaffold at the Marlboro jail yester-
day morning. The trap fell at 1928 and
the murdered was pronounced dead thirteen
minutes later Death resulted from shock
and strangulation.
The condemned man walked TO the scat
fold with a firm step and did not show any
signs of nervousness. Berry was not
brought to Marlboro from Baltimore for
the execution until late Thursday evening
He had been incareerated In the Baltimore
city Jail as a precaution against lyncning
ever since his trial. II was at first il
tended to bring the prisoner TO this city
Thursday night and allow him TO remain
here until early yesterday morning, when
he was to be taken to the place of execu-
tion. For some reason, however, Sheriff
Robey changed his plans and when the
train bearing the prisoner and his custo-
dians reached Hyattsyille the party board
ed a train on the Chesapeake Beach rail-
road and took the man directly TO Marl-
boro. Few OF the toWnspeople knew oil Inc
arrival of the prisoner until he was on his
way to the Jail. but the news few like
wild1re when It did leak out. and quite
a crowd was assembled at the door Of the
little brick building IN which the county 8

drove up with the prisoner. Berry was
Immediately conducted to the cell he was
20 occupy until the time OF his execution
and left alone with the death watch, which
consisted Of two Of the deputy sheriffs and
the sheriff himself. No angry demonstra-
tIons were made by any of the crowd, how
ever. which quickly dispersed as soon as
its curiosity had been satisfied.
The prisoner WIS in the best of spirits
all day Thursday and just before leaving
the Jail in Baltimore he asked TO be allowed
10 have watermelon before he died.
Sheriff Robey procured fine specimen of
the fruit and the murderer ate il, seeds
and ali on the train he did not have
much to say. but would frequently laugh
and nod az the lively conversation kept
up by the sheriff's party. which included
two or three representatives Of the press.
His only concern seemed to be about a
priest but he was finally satisfied on that
point and had little else to say. He was
told that a priest had been sent for and
had promised to be at the jail at o'clock
Thursday evening The condemned man
was given a hearty supper consisting of
beefs;eak, fried potatoes, bread, butter. and

THE DINE SAVINGS BANK SUIT.
Cashier Alender's Answer Brings
New Facts to Light.

The answer of the Dime Savings Bank,
made through its vice president and cash
Ter, Charles H. Allender, in the suit
brought by James Fraser and others
against it, the Capital Trust Company and
others, brings to light many matters which
were heretofore unknown in connection
with the affair
In reply to the allegations set out in the
original complaint it is admitted that the
Dime Savings Bank opened up business in
the office of the Capital Trust Company
Building, but did not actually begin active
work until January l, 1899, full month
after the latter corporation was practi-
cally in liquidation and had ceased to take
any new business.
1t is also alleged that no money was
transferred to the defendant. the Dine saw
ings Bank. from the Capital Trust Com
pany, except in the free volition of The
depostors so transferring their accounts.
The defendant further denies that during
its corporate existence it has done any
act which was to the prejudice or in fraud
of the rights of the defendant trust COM
pany. but, on the contrary, entered into
most onerous arrangement with the latter
corporation aud wholly against the inter
ests of the Dime Savings Bank.
The conveyance of lot No 6, in square
B.
liam Fl. Crosby, to Henry X. Simpson and
Charles H. Allender. in trust for the Dime
Savings Bank, is admitted and it is stated
that the sale and conveyance were made
under the following circumstances: At a
meeting held by the board OF directors on
December 2S, 1898. the real estate was au-
thorized to be sold TO defendant on the
following terms:
The defendant to assume an Indebtedness
- .ffh
a deed of trust on the real estate and the
assumption of liability for accounts of de-
positors aggregating S24lSS.22 The ac-
crued interest on the said debt and unpaid
taxes on said real estate. it is alleged, will
aggregate about $1,000. making the cost to
the Dime Savings Bank $4,000
This amount, it is alleged. is in excess
of the value of the real estate in question.
and the Dime Savings Bank, in view OF
this discovery by its officers of the very
great discrepancy between the value of the
property and the liability assumed, and in
view of the serious complication in the III
tie, which will arise if the claims OF John
H. Rothert are sustained is not only will
ing. but anxious, that the said conveyance
to trustees for it, the Dime Savings Bank,
be set aside, and that 1t be released from
all onerous obligations it has assumed in
consideration of such conveyance.
The answer of the defendant Dime Saw
ings Bank denies that it has in any way
defrauded the stockholders of the Capital
Trust Company. and state that it will will
lingly convey all its interest in the. real
estate referred to to the stockholders or any
one or more of them who will assume and
relieve it. the Dime Savings Bank, from all
the burdens it has taken upon it in consid
Grafton of the conveyance of the said real
estate to il.

Defendants File Their Answers.

The Mutual Fire Insurance Company. of
this city, and James F. Oyster, trustee. de-
PENDANTS, in a suit brought by James w
Baker. through their attorneys. Berry and
Minor, yesterday filed answers in the SUI
preme Court of the District. The
original proceedings were instituted to
set aside sale made by the defendants.
The defendants admit that the promis-
sorry note of the complainant for $4,000,
drawn in favor of the insurance company,
was unpaid on April 10, 1898. but the com
pany denies that IL agreed to accept con-
veyance of the title to the property in
volved at valuation of $4,000. On the
contrary, it alleges that il never valued the
property in dispute at more than s., 9,oOO at
which figure it was sold and purchased at
auction. 1t also denies that the sale of the
property was made against the protest of
the complainant, Baker, based on the
ground that the time being Christmas week
was bad season. 1t is also claimed that
the sale was bona fide in all respects.
