THE PROPOSAL REJECTED
Williams Offer to Take Qualified
Verdict Refused.
Some Damaging Testimony brought
our Against the Negro Accused of
Wandering Mary ID. Brown, Color
ed-TriaI to BE Resumed To-day.

When the testimony for the Government
in the case of Charles Williams, colored,
who is on trial for the murder of Mary
D. Brown, also colorcd, was concluded
YESTERDAY, counsel for the defendant
stated that he would accept qualified
verdict on behalf of the accused. Thorn
as II. Anderson, the District Attorney, re-
fused to agree TO the proposition, but said
he would be willing to submit the case
to the jury on the charge of the court
without argument. This proposition was
declined by counsel for the defence, and
the trial viii be continued this morning.
A qualified verdict is equivalent to a
sentence 10 the penitentiary for life.
The testimony offered by the Govern
ment was very damaging to the defen-
dant. Williams is chargd with numbering
Mary d. Brown in a small house, known
as 1U2 Fourteenth Street southeast, on the
night of March 81 last. The most damag-
ing evidence against him was given by a
young colored man named Prentiss Pat
terson, who lived in the same house with
the defendant. and the woman he Is &C
cused of numbering. On the date mention
ed. Prentiss stated that Williams came
home late at night, and that he showed
plainly that he had been drinking. About
! a. M, the witness said Williams came
to him and told him that he had quar-
rel with Mary Brown, and that he struck
her, and that since then, she had hsen
drowsy, and that he could not rouse her
williams, the witness said, asked him to
go into the room where the woman was
lying upon her bed, and endeavor to
arouse her from her stupor When the
defendant came to him. Patterson stated
that he, Williams, was covered with blood.
Upon entering the room, Patterson said,
he was convinced that the woman was
dead, and advised the defendant TO in
form the police OF the fact. Instead Of
doing this the witness said that Williams
lay down and went to sleep. The next
morning, Patterson stated, Williams in
stead of informing the police that the wo-
man was dead went to an undertaken
named Better, and asked him to come
and bury the woman without speaking
to anyone about it. This Better refused
t. do. although Williams promised to pay
him well for his trouble. Finding that it
would be impossible to hide the crime
in this way, the witness stated. Williams
then went out and reported the matter
at the Fifth precinct stationhouse. This
was about o'clock in the morning, the
witness said, and soon after Williams was
placed under arrest.
Evidence was also offered tending to
show that between the hour of midnight,
when il is supposed that Williams made
the fatal assault upon the woman, and
morning. he changed his clothing, and
put his old clothes in a trunk together
with some garments the woman had worn.
An examination Of the body Of the dead
woman showed that her skull was frac-
tured, one of her ribs broken, and her
face badly bruised.
other witnesses who testified are Rob
ert Perry, Coroner hewitt, John Il. Bar
den and Policeman Howard.
