WILLIAM BLACK CAUGHT.
Miss Bradford's Alleged Assailant
Arrested on an Oyster Boat.

BALTIMORE, March William Black,
| eolored, aged twenty y-four years. whom the
police authorities have been trying 70 cap
ture for the past week was taken TO the
Eastern police station yesterday afternoon
and charged with feloniously assaulting
Miss Jessie Bradford. the xteen-year-Old
daughter of Mr.. Edward Bradford, farm
e., living near Aberdeen. Hartford county,
Nd. The assault occurred on Wednesday,
February Il.
Black was captured by Capt. George W.
League and Sergt William c. Schaub, Of
the Eastern district. Captain League got
tip last Saturday that a colored man
answering to Blacks description was
thought to have shipped on an oyster
pungy. This fact was reported to Acting
Marshal Farnan. Captain League and Ser
geant Schaub were detailed to work on
the case.
They shaped their course for Tar Harbor,
opposite the Patuxent, on the Eastern
Shore, intending to take in all dredgers
from Tar Bay to Colchester Light. AS
they neared Poplar Island they sighted
three oyster boats in the naTrows, stuck
in. the ice. They pulled up next the pungy
Oliver Handy about o'clock. Boarding
her, the officials asked whether William
Black was aboard. The name could not be
found on the boats list of workmen. A
search was made, and Captain League and
Sergeant Schaub found Black hiding in the
forepeak. He was recognized and put TN
der arrest. When asked if he was William
Black he denied the fact stoutly, but said
he was William Lewis, under which name
he had shipped. He was handcuffed and
taken aboard the Ivanhoe.
George B. Cole, who said he was from
Aberdeen, and who knew Miss Bradford
and the negro, called at the police station
yesterday and identified Black Black said
that he had not been anywhere near Aber-
deem for the past three weeks, He said
that he intended to get employment on
some oyster boat
When arrested Black did not enquire the
reason of his arrest and persistently de-
MED any cause for it. AS he was being

OF weakening he has shown. He remains

inclined to talk nor show himself
ABERDEEN, Md, March 1.-The news
of Blacks arrest in Baltimore caused no
little excitement. A posse had been in the
northern part of the county looking for the
negro. 1t was shortly after some members
of this posse had returned that the news
of Blacks presence in Baltimore was re-
ceived.
In an incredibly short time the news
spread and the town was soon filed with
excited men. The question chiefly asked
was what would be done with Black and
the consensus Of opinion was that he
would be taken from Baltimore to Belair
without being brought to Aberdeen. The
whole county is aroused and nearly every
man in it desires to have a look at the ne
gro. So il seems possible that a crowd
will greet him whether he is taken from
Baltimore to Aberdeen or to Belair, or
whether he is taken tomorrow or three
months hence.
1t is conceded that Black stands a very
good chance Of being lynched whenever he
arrives in Hartford. There is no doubt in
the minds of the citizens of Aberdeen that
he is the guilty man. In fact there is no
lack of convincing evidence to that effect.
Miss Bradford is still confined to her
bed, although her condition is improved.
as is that Of her mother. who has been
Frustrated since the assault. Miss Brad
ford at present is not able 10 go 10 Balti-
more nor TO Belair 10 identify her assail-
ant, and the negro may be brought here
for that purpose before he is confined in
the Belair Jail.
Mr. Bradford. the girls father. was de-
lighted 10 hear that Black had been cap
tured. He is surrounded by a host Of
friends Besides expressing his pleasure
that the suspense was over. he had nothing
further TO say. The sentiment is that full
Justice shall be accorded.

BILL has come in possession of an inter-

The bed has been received by DR.. Hun
ter MCGUIRE, who is chairman of the execu-

relic was presented to him by J. c. Boul-
ware, to whose mother ii was given by Mr..

to be sold for the purpose of raising money
to erect a monument on the spot where
Jackson was shot, but that memorial was
raised without its sale. This valuable
relic will be placed in the Chanler house
as soon as that property is acquired by

Rstnrnsd 80 Germany.

John ". Book returned Wednesday
morning from a three-months' visit to
his mother, who lives in Germany. His
brother, Fred, will not return until
about November. Mr.. Book arrived in
New York, Tuesday, July 81, on the
ocean liner, Kaiser Wilhelm DerGrOsse,
Of the North German Lloyd company,
which made the trip in six days.
A change in Germany was there,
since John first left his fatberland; but
yet il made in the bill Of fare no
change; for in that far-Of strand, the
people eat limberger cheese; sit down
with mugs Of rOily beer; and ssUer-
kraut is munched to please the appe-
tite Of folks Of cheer.
Mr.. Book says that Germany is in q
very prosperous condition. No trsmps,
no idle men, can be found. Labor is
in demand and good wages are paid.
This is mostly due, he says, to the
great increase in the export trade Of
that country, and believes that the
people generally Of Germany are in q
better condition than the people Of the
United States.

GUY BUMGARDEER A SUICIDE.
A Note Pound written to His Father
Saying That he Had Taken Poison
No Reason Given

Saturday, July 3, 12s3u o'clock.
Il am dying from the effects Of poison taken
b ny own hand Goodbye, father. You have
been good father 20 ne Goodbye
This is the note written by Guy
Bumgardner to his father. 1t was
written IN his handwriting but not
signed, and the breaking of OF the
letter without a signature was perhaps
due 10 the action Of the poison taken,
which was strychnine, as his message
indicates that the fatal dose was sWal-
lowed before it was written
Last Thursday, the day following the
interment OF the deceased, John BFun-
CT and his son, William, went to the
Bumgardner house to set things in
order. About the first thing which
met the gaze Of John BFUner as he en-
tered the door, was a paper tablet on
the table, the top sheet Of which con-
tanned the farewell words.
Upon further investigation a small
bottle Of strychnine emptied Of about
tWo-thirds Of its contents was found
upon the floor.
The cause Of DR.. FarroW's not dis
covering the note when he entered the
room to make the examination of the
corpse at the inquest, was, that as the
doctor entered the room he first picked
up the hat which lay on the floor and
tossed it upon the table, it happening
to fall sQuarely upon the tablet, thus
cOncealing the written matter.
The note was delivered to the bere-
aYed father, and is now in his posses
sion. Since the information was first
spread about from mouth to mouth,
Mr.. q. r. BumgardneT having been
troubled by the interrOgatiOns of many
to see the last message Of his son, be
thought it would be Of less annoyance
to him should it be made a subject Of
public account, and therefore kindly
presented the same for publication.
Mr.. Bumgardner feels keenly the sad
circumstances which have encOmpassed
him. Beside himself, his son was the
only member Of the family living in
Sherman county. They were deVOtedly
attached to each other, and the sudden
death OF the one leaves the father de-
prived in his old age Of the comfort
that a son can give.
