WILL ALLEN BA|LED
Negro Said to Have In
suited Policeman Rog-
ers' Daughter Out
on Bond.
His Trial Postponed Until Wednesday
--.Many Witnesses Summoned and
Counsel Employed---AIIen's
Statement as to His
Action.

The Mayors Court was filled with a
large and curious crowd yesterday
morning, attracted by the expected
preliminary hearing of the case of
attempted assault against Will Allen,
the negro who was chased and club
bed as told in yesterdays paper for
alleged insulting conduct towards the
thirteen year old daughter of Police
man /. w. Rogers.
When the case was called, MessrS.
Argo and Schaffer appeared for the
defendant; Jones and Col. j. G. L.
Harris for the State. as special coun-
sci for Policeman Rogers. In view
of the number of witnesses to be ex-
amined and the lack of time for the
preparation of the case by the at
torneys, it was agreed that the trial
should go over until next WedneS-
day morning.
Application having been made for
bail, Mayor Powell, after hearing ar
gument, fixed the appearance bond at
$50, and this was promptly given by
Mr.. d. r. Bynum, for whom. as stated
yesterday the negro Allen has worked
for several years.
Allen strongly protests his inno-
cence, claiming that he offered no IN
suit to any one. According to his
story he had stopped on the corner
to fan himself and remembers seeing
some people on a porch, but says that
he paid no attention to them. After
wards, he says, he started off and
stopped again under a tree when he
heard some one calling on him to
halt and, looking around, saw po-
liceman approaching with pistol in
his hand. At this sight Jones said
he was frightened 81 that he stood
not upon the order of his going but
ran for it for dear life.
Among the witnesses who will be
examined in behalf of the defendant
are Fillie Wilson, Tom Rhodes, Walter
Norwood, Peter Dixon, John Haywood,
Walter Griffin. John Mackey, j. M,
Jones and Dennis Stroud.
An investigation of the conduct of
Policeman Rogers in clubbing the me-
gro after he had been caught by the
crowd will be promptly made by the
police committee after tAe preliminary
hearing is had.

evidently the principal contention
VIII be over the point as to whether
there shall be a specific declaration
favorable to the affirmation of the
principles enunciated in the platform
of 1896 and 1900. There is already
strenuous contention as to whether
there shall be any reference what
ever to those two declarations and
there are many shades of views as to
now the subject should be covered.
Some delegates express the opinion
that the proposition of the platform
will be left at most entirely to Sena-
tor German and Congressman Will
liams, the Democratic leaders in the
two houses of Congress.
1t is generally believed that the
character of the platform will have a

with much interest.
