DORA LINKINs' AssAILANTs.
The siN Negroes to Be Held Pending
Further Enquiry.

II was reported yesterday that the order
for The removal of the six colored men con-
yicted of assaulting Miss Dora Linkins and
sentenced by Justice Cole to thirty years
each in the penitentlsry has been temper
arily held up. and the prisoners viii not be
sent to Moundsville, W. Va, until further
orders by Justice Cole.
Al the time they we're sentenced, each
of the prisoners, except Howard Berry,
made an earnest plea in his own be-
half for clemency and at the same
time strenuously denied his guilt. The
prisoner Berry II is said, shortly after
his arrest made confession of his quit
10 the police but upon his trial when he
testified in his own behalf stoutly main
tanned his innocence.
The principal witness for the Govern
ment, Miss Linkins, however, was positive
in her Identification Of four Of the prisoner
having actually participated in the ASSAULT
upon her. Two Of the others she was Juat
/ as positive we're present, and lent their
moral support to the commission Of the
crime. \ few minutes after the crime is
said 10 have been committed all the prison
crs were seen in the immediate vicinity,
and shortly after were arrested.
From the fact that the order of removal
Of the prisoners TO the penitentiary from
the District jail has been stayed, 1t is be-
lieyed that Justice Cole intends TO make 4
further Investigation OF the case. In con-
noctiun with the argument for new uial
