Montgomery. Ala. May 2S.-Bookcr
I. Washington. in behalf of his race
today, presented to the constitutional
convention an appeal for conservative
action. The address reminds the con-
vention that the negroes came here
against their will but have been bcnc-
fitted. trained and christianiZed. The
relations now. he said, are reasonably
satisfactory. Anything that viii I'M

will injure both races.
The leading feature of the suffrage
clause offered, today, by cx-Gov. Jones
is that which denies the right To vote
ito any person who shall hereafter be
guilty and convicted of selling his own
vote or buying or bartering the vote
of another. in any election or primary
caucus or convention, or who shall
make or aid in making any false count.
certificates or returns or shall there
after carry concealed weapons and be
convicted thereof
On the desks Of all the members was
an address by Senator Morgan and
copies of the suffrage clause which he
has prepared for the consideration -:
the convention. The address is design
ed to support the clause.
The real feature of the plan is in the
provision that only white men shall
hold office.

Martineau, and he went armed with n
i4-calibre revolver to the residence of
Mrs. Henry Harper. where Mrs. Mar
tineau had sought refuge. with the in
tention of having revenge.
He entered the house and flouriShed
tie revolver before Mrs. Harper and
her child. who were dining, and in a
few minutes a cry for help was heard
from the dining room and with one
shot Mrs. Martincau lay dead at his
feet.
Albert Fairbanks. who heard the
cries of the young woman. hurried to
her assistance. but he had no sooner
reached the door of the house than he
was greeted with bullets, one of which

Martineau had been married two
years. His wife's former name was
Victoria De Gonyoun. and her parents
live at Bethel. VT. She was consdcrd
beautiful and Martineau became jcal
Gus of her, which led to separation
about a year ago. After n stay of a

At 1l.45 today. he called at the Har-
per residence and asked for Mrs. Mar
tineau. He pushed his way into the
dining room. and after threatening tn
shoot Mrs. Harper and her boy. they
fled to summon assistance. leaving
Mrs. Martineau along with him.
a struggle began, in the midst of
which Fairbanks came to answer to
the calls for help. Three bullets. one of
which struck him. We're enough to stop
him from going into the room on the
floor Of which lay Mrs. Martineau.
The next shot was after Martineau
had turned the weapon on himself
There was heavy fall and Martin

murdered woman.
The woman was shot in the right
side of the head. and the bullet came
out on the left side. The bullet which
ended Martineau's life entered his left
ear and crashed through his head
