SCHEME DIDN'T WORK.
How Maude Matson Tried TO Save Robert
Nolan From Punishment

Maude Matson, a 17-year.old girl of
this city, and her lover, Robert McLain.
VINO Is now In the county Jail under a
charge Of housebreaking, entered into
a conspiracy to save the latter from the
state prison, according to the story of
me girls parents told to Sheriff Emery
yesterday III seems that Mclaln and
'ne slri went TO Ogden sometime ago
ana while there the former was arrest
ed for two crimes committed in This
city II was charged that he broke into n
room at the Antler rooming house and
stole suit Of clothes from man
named Dignan, and that he also stole
SUIT OF clothes from Jay Norton,
he was Drought back here and tried
on the charge OF housebreaking and
pound over TO the district court Then
the plot between McLain and the girl
was Matched She represented In her
lovers attorney that McLain Ind
wronged her and that they went 10 Og-
den to get married. She said that he
was willing to marry her to amend for
what he had done and she induced the
attorney to call upon Diet Atty Eich-
nor TO see what could be done TO save
her lover When the facts as represent
eu Wy 'ne glTl were stated TO MIR. Elch-
nor he said that as the man Intended
10 marry the girl and his intentions
were all right, that he would not prose
cute him on the original charge but
would merely prosecute him for petit
larceny and the fellow would thus es-
cape with q slight jail sentence. The
scheme OF the girl and McIain worked
all right until the girls parents became
aware OF H. They denied that there was
any truth In the girls story about her
relations with Mclain and warned the
officers against allowing them To get
married is the girl was under age and
they certainly objected to her marriage.
The result Is that McLaln viii now
have to stand trial on the charge OF
housebreaking and will probably have
TO serve term In the state prison be-
fore he can marry the girl who attempt
ed TO save him from punishmcnt.

Charleston Will Have a Negro Col
lector in Spite of All Opposition.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. March 2a-Doctor W. ID.
Crum. a negro. is now Collector of the Port
of Charleston. Secretary Shaw to-day APP
proved Crum's bond for $4,000 and his COM
mission is already in Charleston 1t was the
original intention of Crum to file a bond in
dorsed by reliable personal friends but
upon further consideration it was deemed
advisable to follow the now almost general
practice of being bonded by a surety COM
pany. The Fidelity and Guaranty Company
of Baltimore furnished the necessary bond.
Thus Crum continues to be a national Is
sue. He will probably qualify within few
days and take charge of the Charleston
Customhouse. When Congress reassembles
next winter Crum's nomination will have to
be again submitted to the Senate His
friends may delay action Indefinitely and in
the meantime he will continue in Office at
the pleasure of the President
Deputy Collector Barnwel, who is now in
charge of the Custom-house. has publicly
announced that he will not serve under a
negro Collector. so that will give Doctor
Crum at least one chance to make an ap-
polntment. Several other white men emf
ployed in tn, Custom-house have also de-
clared their intention to resign IL Cruin il
commissioned. but 1t is understood that
there are at least fifty applications from
white men for positions under Crum
