NEGRO BOY ARRESTED
Discovered at Night in Two
Girls Bedroom
They Arouse Their Father Who Captures The
Intruder. He Says He Was Looking
For His Hat.
Especial to News and Observer

Goldsboro. N. c., July Edward APP
plewhite, a young negro aged sixteen, is
now in the Jail at Eureka, charged with
attempted assault.
these: On Wednesday evening Apple
white, who has been working for Mr.. e.
w. Sauls, near Eureka, came in from the
field and after supper left the house,
nothing more being heard or seen of him
by the family until about o'clock in the
morning.
At this hour Mr.. Sauls was aroused by
his daughter, Miss Dora and Miss Effie
Mcdaniel, who told him that they had
heard some person in their bed chamber.
Mr.. Sauls at once began search of
the room and in a short time was re-
warded by the discovery of Applewhite.
He at once took him in charge and
turned him over to deputy sheriff, who
lodged the negro in Jail.
Applewhite is small for his age with a
fairly good face, and talks freely and
intelligently. He seems, however, unable
to realize the enormity of the crime with
which he is charged In conversation
with your correspondent this morning he
gave his version of the affair. which is
as follows:
After supper he lay down on the front
porch at Mr.. Sauls house. where Jesse
and Charlie Sauls were also lying. He
remained there until far in the night,
then arose and started for home. He
went some distance before making the
discovery that he had left his hat be
hind. Then returning to the house, he
looked for the hat upon the porch, but it
was not there.
1t then occurred to him that the hat
might have been removed by some one of
the children. and he entered the house
and made his way into the girls room
still in search of it. This. he declares,
was his sole purpose in going into the
chamber.
Applewhite further says that when he
returned to Mr.. Sauls' house Jesse and
Charlie were still on the porch, and that
Jesse saw him when he entered the girls
room.

NEMPLE CASE
BEFORn THR JURY
District Attorney Declares
Prisoners Reputation Bad
Defense Saws Case Was Started By
Secret Service Men for
Self Glory

Philadelphia. Nov Attachments
of opposing counsel took up the en-.
tire day in the United States district
court. where John L. semple. the law
yer. of Camden. n j., has been on
trial since last Monday, charged with
aiding and abetting Arthur Taylor and
Baldwin S. Bredell, convicted counter.
feiters, in the. B9lnuiacture Of coun-
terfeit $50 notes while the latter were
in prison awaiting sentence. The
case was given to the jury today. af-
ter Judge Mcpherson had delivered
his charge
United states District Attorney Hol.
land, in his address severely arranged
the defendant. He declared that Sem.
pies reputation for honesty and in
tegrity is bad, as the evidence
showed. The public, said the district
attorney, is willing to overlook the
enthusiasm of an attorney in a hot
contest for the interest OF his client
but he has no right to step into the
lines of criminality and hold up
the government. Mr.. Holland said II
was significant that there was no at
tempt to withhold the counterfeit
plates in the hope of leniency for
Taylor and Bredell until Semplo was
employed I'm the case. The district
attorney ridiculed the testimony OF
one witness for the defense to the ef.
feet that Secret Service Operative
Burns was actuated by malice against
Semple. The evidence. asserted The
district attorney, showed Concluslvely
that Semple induced Taylor and Bre-
dell TO manufacture the $40 counter
felt plates. and that the accused law
yer was the moving spirit all through
the proceedings In conclusion. Mr.
Holland said that Taylor and Bredell
acted properly in handing Semple
over to Justice. The women members
Of the Taylor and Bredell families. he
said. had acted innocently In bringing
articles to the prison which were used
in the making of the counterfeits, and
were in no danger of arrest.
Attorney Eckard p. Budd. for the
defense, declared the case against
Semple had been conceived by the
hNNANh n'A NANN AAA'M AAA oNIAi riARl AiAA a.
tion. Speaking of the three indict
ments. Mr. Budd said they could be
classified into three parts, the passing
OF counterfeits the procuring of th'
engraving and conspiracy. No evi
dencc was shown Of Semple passing
counterfeits, so it left the other tw'
charges, which could be considsre,
together Mr. Budd said thore were
many Inconsistencies in the Testimony
OF Taylor and Breden There were
many incidents which. he said, showed
the stories of the counterfeiters to b,
false. The principal one was that the
records Of the prison showed thai
Semplo could not have taken the i5l
new 81 notes to them in three in
stallments within two months of th'
time they said the notes were al
printed.
