ing condition by tourists on their

the spot where he was found, and, af-
ter remaining with him for two or

last Saturday.
The brigade made an excellent show
ing, and General Miles was warm in
his praise of the state troops at the
close. Immediately following the re-
view General Miles and the brigade
commander, with their respective
staffs, made a tour of inspection Of

guished military visitor expressed his

in discussing the evidence.
"Roy Berry testified that he saw
Dewey fire the shot which struck him
in the mouth. Beach Berry testified
that Mcbride fred the shot which
killed his father, and he says he also
saw Wilson fire shot, but it did not
hit anybody. That is the substance of
all their testimony as to the shooting,
so that there was no positive evidence
against Wilson, and, even taking Roy
Berry's statement as true, there is no

THE BURNING OF WHITE.
Arrest of One Participant RepOrte7l
to BE Arthur COmweIl.


WILMINGTON, Del, June 24.-Wil-
mington is all excitement, as one of the
5000 who participated in the burning
to death of the negro murderer, George
White, has been arrested on a charge
of murder. Word went along the line
that the prisoner was the motorman,
John Baker, who, it is sad, led the mohF
and angry groups gathered on every
corner.
The police refused to divulge the
name of the prisoner and referred all
inquirers to the attorney general, H. II.
Ward, who said the prisoner was "a
man known as Arthur ComWell," deny
ing that he was Baker.
Colonel James McComb. wealthy
retired capitalist of Claymont. called on
the police authorities and told them he
would go bail for Comwell and for all
persons that may be arrested in con-
nection with the lynching.
Attorney General Ward said that he
expected more arrests, that there were
twelve leaders in the mob and that they
would be arrested as soon as the police
could locate them.
1t is said that state and city detec-
tives were in the crowd and recognized
some Of those who participated in the
burning.
1t is generally believed that had the
courts brought the murderer to speedy
trial the tragedy would have been
averted. The judges who had post
poned action upon the case of the con-
fessed assailant of Miss Bishop explain
their action by stating that popular
prejudice and indignation would have
precluded the possibility of fair trial
for the culprit.

Is Retired Minister and Was
Formerly of schenectady.

MONTAGUE, Mass, June 24.-Rev.
Charles A. Alden, formerly assistant
to- j. w. Kellar when the latter was
commissioner of charities of New York
and who was arrested some months
ago on a charge of grand larceny dur
ing his terms of Office and subsequent
ly released, was taken into custody
again, this time on a bench warrant
charging him with forgery of check.
The indictment alleges forgery in the
second degree, the specific charge be-
ing that Alden forged the name of Kel-
lar on the back of a check for SAT-.
The check had been sent to the COM
missioner by John l.. Collins and
drawn on Schenectady bank.
Rev. Mr.. Alden is a retired Baptist
minister and was for a number of
years pastor of a church in Schenecta-

the election of Mayor Van Wyck he
went on the stump and spoke in favor

peared in Philadelphia, and six months
ago he came to the house of his brother

was arrested on the charge of grand
larceny and was taken to New York,
