Miss Clara Barton resigned from
che presidency of the American Red
Cross May Ia, and was Immediately
succeeded by Mrs John A. Logan,
widow of the famous general of the
civil war Prior to the retirement of
Miss Barton, Mrs. Logan was Vice
president of the society. #"
The resignation Of Miss Barton
marks the close OF a long period OF
pickering over the post She held. In
fact. it was finally conceded that the
only hope for the restoration of peace
IN the organization lay in the retire
ment of Miss Barton, against whom
charges have been pending for some
time The controversy over her man

the war with Spain. and had grown to
! such dimensions as to cause a serious

Special to The Evening Journal.
Dover. May 9.-Mrs. Powells attor-
neys appeared in court at 1890 o'clock
this morning and gave formal applica-
ton that they would apply for new
trial. Judge spruance entertained the
motion for Mr. Ridgely and suspended
sentence and gave her counsel until
next Wednesday to file their reasons.
Mrs. Powell was not brought into
court and the application for the re-
trial win give her an opportunity to
regain her composure before again
appearing.
There is an undercurrent Of feeling
that the defense will finally abandon
its steps for a new trial with a general
assurance that an effort will be made
to secure her pardon at the end Of
five years.
While Mrs. Powell was not sentenced
to life imprisonment, another prisoner
was. Walker John Dickerson was
brought into court and his counsel
Davis and Clough. moved that he be
allowed to change his plea of not guilty
TO guilty OF murder in the second de-
gree. The plea was accepted, the at
torney- general signifylng that his rea-
sons were the death of a material wit
ness for the prosecution since last Oc'
tober. And that the case was once
considered by jury that disagreed.

Dover, May 9.-"Guilty of murder in
the second degree" was the verdict re-
turned at 715 o'clock on Saturday
evening by the jury in the case Of Mrs.
Mary A. Powell charged with killing
Estelle Albin.
Under the laws Of Delaware. Mrs.
Powell must serve a lifetime in prison.
but it is the general impression here
that she will be pardoned before she
has spent more than five years behind
the bars.
The prisoner wept when she heard
the pronouncement, and, with her chin
on her breast, fingered her trimmed
spectacles. She has been so unstrung
for the past few days that a scene
would have been probable had not the
jury made known its decision in ad-
vance. and enabled her counsel to pre-
pare her for what was to come.
Alfred NJ. Powell, husband of the
prisoner, whose conduct with the dead
girl was the motive for the killing, sat
IN a far corner of the courtroom. His
face betrayed no emotion.
This ending of the notable trial was
reached after a day of vigorous oratory
on the part of counsel which preceded
the charge Of the presiding judge &c
the jury.
AS the crisis approached, Mrs. Powell
became more and more nervous. Their,
was scarcely a moment during the
