Hung Jury in the Assault Case Of
Frank Benjamin.
Insanity Expert Testlfios That He was
Mentally Responsible for the Crime
Jury Locked up for Further Dclibora-
ton Other Matters.
Especial to The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

!
Newport News, Va. March 12.-when
Saturday night came the evidence Of
the defence in the case of Frank Ben
jamin, the negro charged with assault
ing Miss Game, the Norfolk trained
nurse was all in.
This morning, at 10 o'clock, upon the
converting of court, the argument be-
gan, Marquis Jones making the first ad-
dress to the jury for the Common
wealth. He was followed by G. w.
Fields for the defence. Commemorative
Attorney Montague then made a strong
argument for the extreme penalty for
the brute. Attorney Bassett made q
strong plea for the prisoner, arguing
solely that his responsibility should
eSonerate him. Captain Fields, brother
Of G. w. Fields, counsellor for the de-
Tense. closed the argument
The most important evidence given in
the case. outside of the testimony as
to the crime itself, was that of DR..
Styli, the well-known expert, who de-
clared that the prisoner exhibited not
one of the five symptoms of insanity,
nor was he an idiot. Against this ex-
evidence given by the boys friends,
tending to show that he was weak
minded almost to the point of idiocy
There being no question as to the
crime itself, the argument. naturally de-
veloped along the lines indicated above.
The courtroom was again crowded oil
day.
JURY COULD NOT AGREE.
The jury. after being out an hour and
five minutes, reported that they could
not agree. Judge Lee adjourned them
over until In the morning.
The announcement was received with
unconcealed wrath by the people. and
threats of lynching were heard. 1t is
hardly thought possible that there will
be violence, however. until the jury has
finally reported its inability to agree,
but should the verdict fail to hang the
negro there are people in Hampton who
will probably try it.
LARGE CARGO OF WHEAT.
The Chesapeake and Ohio steamer
Knight Errant. Captain Jones, sailed
to-day for Liverpool with a cargo of
$50. 527 bushels of wheat.
This Is the largest shipment of wheat
made from this port In the last eigh-
teen months. and one OF the largest
that ever went out from here.
TOUR OF INSPECTION.
Rear Admiral Bradford. chief of the
Bureau OF Equipment. Washington.
came down to-day to inspect the equip
ment of the battleship Kearsarge, which
gave him the rear admiral's salute of
thirteen guns as he entered the yard.
There Is every evidence that the battle
ship will get away this week. Every
thing has been gotten into shape for de-
parture, and the tests and inspections
have been made. 1t Is not known yet
where the ship will go to first. but 1t
is thought that she will proceed to

Sallie s. Haywood, passed away in one
of those fair cloud mists that softly
swept over our country home in Vir-
ginia. Her end was singularly peaceful
and happy. She had faithfully served
two generations of our children; the
Smedes children in Raleigh and our
own In Boston and New York From
that day in Raleigh thirteen years ago
when she took our first born in her
arms down to the time our three little
ones passed from the nursery into the
hustle of childs joyous life. my wife
has never known a nights worry with

house-keeper. companion and teacher
Of life's deep truths.
Up to the day she took her bed only
ten days before her death. she was
bright, active and happy, watching her
last brood of children bud into man
hood and womanhood. strolling beneath
the giant trees on the lawn at Ginning
ton Manor, caring for the chickens and
turkeys. or seated by n blazing log
fire in her own room In the servants
quarters surrounded by an admiring
group of negroes. as she talked with
native eloquence of faith and life, love
and God.

longed to the old regime of the old
South. with It's gentle ways. its lofty
dreams. it's scorn for meanness. its
chivalry and loyalty to friendship.
Yet she welcomed the new and larger
life while she cherished the BEAUTIFUL in
the old. She was loyal to the negro
race. sacrificing literally from her
savings for their churches and schools
and yet always thought she felt more
keenly and painfully, her soul knship
with the white race that predominated
in her blood. Her photograph. whose
lights and shadows hide the secrets of
race. shows her as a woman of culture
and refinement. She was both. The
child OF passion unhallowed by the laws
of social convention. yet she was a
pure woman in every fibre of her
womanly nature. BY social and poll

THE VICTIM OF AN ANGRY
PREACHERS BULLETS.
(Snecial to Yirginian-Pilotl

Broadnax, Va, March 12.-One of the
most shocking shooting affairs that has
ever happened in this county occurred
near White Plains yesterday morning
(Sunday). The wounded man is DR..
VIM. IL. Temple, prominent physician
of this county, and the man that did
the shooting is Rev. ]. +. r. Riddicls,
pastor in charge OF South Brunswick
Circuit. NJ. Z. Church.
DIR. Temple had been called to attend
the wife of Rev. Riddick Wednesday
night and instructed Mr.. RiddIck to
send for him at once If his wife grew
any worse. Yesterday morning DR..
Temple was preparing to dress after he
had gotten out OF bed, when Mr.. Rid
dick rode ND to his door. He says that
he thought he came to summon him to
see his wife and he slipped on his shoes
and went to the door to invite him In
side.
He was met Mt the door by Mr.. Rid
dick and informed that he was to be
killed. He then turned around and ran
out of the back door, and was pursued
by Mr.. Riddlck, pisto in hand. and
when they reached the back yard four
shots were fired into his person-one
through the lung. one near the kidneys
and one through each arm.
Mr.. Riddick claimed before the Jus
tice Court that DR.. Temple insulted his
wife Wednesday night. DR.. Temple
denies 1t most emphatically, and as Mr..
Riddick could not prove that DR.. Tenn
pie nsulted his wife he was committed
to Jail. DR.. Temple was n good man
and good physician.
Mr.. Riddlck Is a son of Rev. Joseph
II. RiddclS. who about twenty years
ago was nastor OF Cumberland Street
Church of Norfolk. The son is we'll
known here. His father will have the
sympathy of large number of people
here and elsewhere in his present mis-
fortune

vaccination be observed ia every
county and city Of the Common

sweep that smallpox is taking
throughout the state, and prevent
its appearance next winter, when
it will likely appear in more yloS
