A woman and a knife were too much
for Gabriel Brown last night. Gabriel Is
blacksmith who works for w. H. Hollo-
way. and is about 4S years old.
He lives On Smithfield street. in south
east Raleigh, and last night between nine
and ten o'clock, after he had taken his
seat in his bedroom and had pulled off
one shoe, Mary Smith, a colored woman
called on him.
They had some words. or as Gabriel
says, "she quarreled with me-" In the
midst of the quarrel the Smith woman
pulled a knife and whacked away three
times at Gabriel, putting the knife blade
in good and bringing out much blood.
Then Mary fed from the house and out
into the night. Gabriel got lamp and
went out on his piazza where he 'holered"
for help. Edna Wooten, who lives next
door, came to him and found him bleed
ing badly. Gabriel told her that he was
'cut to DEATH and showed her three
places cut on his coat. while the blood
was trucking from him.
A messenger was sent to a nearby house
and the police were phoned for at quarter
past ten. They reached the place shortly
DeIOTe eleven. put IN the meantime
hack had been found and Gabriel had
been carried to Rex Hospital. The police
got what information they could and left,
going to the hospital to interview Gabriel
and then starting on the search for Mary.
Just before the police left Browns
house a News and Observer reporter
reached the place, and after the police
left kept up the investigation of the case.
Cutter Clark. who lived to the north OF
Brown, had heard noise and had seen
woman running from the house Search
was made in the road and her hat was
found where she had dropped it. 1t Is
black straw sailor with black trimming
The search was kept up and the knife
she used was found on the sidewalk. This
was big knife, with two blades and
horn handle The big blade was open and
there was blood on it. From the house,
all along the sidewalk could be seen the
tracks made by woman's shoe with high
heels
At the hospital Gabriel was cared for
and DR.. Graham was soon in attendance.
1t was found that there was one wound
in the right breast close up to the should
er. 1t bled profusely, but is not danger

After diligent search for Mary Smith
Captain Conrad and Officer Rogers located
her and had her in the lock up. The

Madden Writes to Payne.
(By the Associated Press.)

Detroit, June 2S.-Third Assistant Post
master General Edwin C. Madden, who is
visiting in this city, today sent a letter
to Postmaster General Payne, denying
that he let contract for carbon paper
for the registry division of the postoffice
without permitting competition. and ask
ing the Postmaster General to immediate
ly investigate the story and its source
The letter says:
This mornings Free Press of this city
tells its readers in an article with scare
head lines that Third Assistant Post
master General Madden is to be investi-
gated It alleges that drew specifca-
tions of contracts for supplying the de-
partment with carbon paper and that they
were SO framed as to allow of no COM
petition.
THE whole statement insofar as it at
tempts to involve me is absolutely false.
/ had nothing to do with the details OF
the contracts; l drew no specifications: /
did not sign, in fact never saw the con-
tract If there is one. My sole interest
and connection with the subject is limited
to an expression of appeal of the particu-
lar carbon paper in question, because it
is labor saving.
s'The contract, IL there is one, was both
drawn and let by the Office of First Ar
sistant Postmaster General. and with it
/ had absolutely nothing to do except as
before stated"

The Cabinet Considers Affairs ia That Depart

Charges Against Him.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington. June 23.-At the Cabinet
meeting today some consideration was
given to affairs in the Postoffice Depart
ment, but it is understood that no definite
action was taken. The investigation, it
was stated again today would be pressed
until no trace of suspicion attached to
the department.
While absolute confirmation of the
statement is withheld, it is reasonably
certain that Holmes Conrad, former soli-
citor general of the Department of JUS
tice, and Charles Bonaparte have been Sc
lected by the Department of Justice to
assist the district attorney in the prosecu-
ton of the postoffice cases.
Having returned indictments against
the parties concerned in the transactions
of the Croft Brothers involving street let
ter fasteners, the grand jury has begun
the investigation OF other contracts with
the free delivery service. 1t is said that
the Postoffice Department, through its
inspectors, who have been working Oh
the case for some time, has made some
discoveries which made it imperative that
the grand jury take the matter up. The
contracts referred to pertain to the use
of aluminium paint on street letter boxes
throughout the country.
