DUTIES THAT FACE US.
Booker Washington Draws a Lesson
From CnolEosz's Crime

From CnolEos.'s Crime
Tuskegee Ala, Sept. 25.-Booker I.
washing ton of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial institute hns given out
the following statement III reference to
the assassination Of President McKin-
ley:
I'm all sincerity l want to ask, Is
Czolgosz guilty? Has not the entire
nation had part in this greatest crime
of the century? What is anarchy but a
defiance of law, and has not the nation
reaped what it has been sowing? Ac-
cording to records, 2,516 persons have
been lynched in the United States dur
ing The past sixteen years. There are
or have been engaged in this anarchy
of lynching nearly 125,S00 persons.
'"To check the present tendency 1t
seems to me there are two duties that
face us:
"First.-FOr all classes to unite In an
earnest effort to create such public
sentiment as will make crime disap-
pear, and especially is it needful shat
we see that there is no idle, dissolute,
purposeless class permitted In our
midst.
"Second.-For all to unite In brave
effort to bring criminals to justice and
where supposed criminal is found to
see that he has fair, patient, legal
trial.
LET us heed the words of our de-
parted and beloved chief as he lay up
on his dying bed, referring to his muir
derer, Il hope he will be treated with
fairness -

from the nature of his Illness.
The taking of testimony in the Schley
inquiry had begun when it was learned
that Judge Wilson was dead.
Admiral Dewey Deeply Affected.
Admiral Dewey was painfully affect
ed by the announcement of the death
of the judge. \ solemn stiffness fell
over court and courtroom. The men,
bers of the court looked at each other
in amaZement as If such a thing was
impossible. During these painful mo-
ments of silence and stiffness the re-
port was being verified. When con-
iirmation came by telephone, Mr.. Ray
ner arose and said:
MAY it please the court, it becomes
my painful duty to announce the death
of Judge Wilson. my brother counsel
in this case. The sad news has been
verified"
Admiral Dewey said: "The court is
panied to hear the announcement of
the death of Judge Wilson. The court
stands adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing at II o'clock"
immediately on the adjournment of
the court Admiral Schley and Attorney
Rayner left for the Shoreham. On
their arrival both went to Judge Will
sons room TO take charge of all the
papers in his possession that bear on
the case
They were visibly affected by the
sudden death of Judge Wilson, and
tears sprang to the eyes of Admiral
Schley, although it was plain that he
was trying to suppress his emotion.
Mr. Rayner said the death of Judge
Wilson would make no change in the
courts programme, and the hearing
would go right along.
The proceedings of the court were
rendered very brief by the announce
ment of Judge Wilson's death.
Commanders Bates and Schroeder
were recalled to listen to the reading
of the official report of their testimony
as given Monday, and First Glass Ma
chinist A. Il. ClaXton of this city, who
had charge of the port engine of the
Texas on the day of the battle off San
tiago. had Just taken the stand when
the announcement of Judge Wilson's
death came in.

Judge Wilson was one of the fore
most lawyers in this city. He was
identified prominently with the court
martial of Judge Advocate General
Swain of the army some years ago.
He was also associated with the most
noted criminal cases in the local courts
for the last fifteen years.
He was one of the counsel for Cap
tain Oberln NJ Carter, and he kept his
client from behind the pententiary
bars for several years.
Judge Wilson was thoroughly in
formed regarding legal procedure as 1t
affects the United States government,
and his advice was often sought by
those having claims against the United
States.
He was employed in the star route
trials and the Pollard rd-Breckinridge
breach of promise suit.
He was president of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone company. The
judge was seventy-seven years old.
He was judge of the court Of common
pleas from 1860 TO 1865 and Judge of
the circuit court in 1865. He was elect
ed to congress from Indiana in Novcm-
Der, 1865, and reelected at the end of
his term.
