JUDGE PARKER AND THE TRUSTS
On Tuesday, August o, the New Nork
Times. which is jealous supporter OF
Parker and Davis, came out in an edito-
rial in favor of the nomination of Dan
iel = LaBont a. the Democratic candi-
date for governor of New York. saying
his nomination would be the strongest
the party could make" On the same
day it published the following informa-
tion in its news columns:
Il was learned last night that James
j. Hill. of St. Paul, the President of the
Great Northern railroad. is especially
anxious TO see Mr.. Lamont nominated
Mr.. Lamont is the vice president Of the
Northern Pacific road Both roads were
parties to the Northern Securities mer-
ger. which President Roosevelt and his
Attorney General successfully combated
in the courts Mr. Hill is especially bit
ter against President Roosevelt, and has
c~poused the Parker and Davis cause.

making his campaign contribution.
which is one Of the largest in the cum
try. is understood TO be insisting that
be be assured that New York state is at
least likely to 90 to teh Democratic
ticket wa ..1t..
It is said that Mr.. Hill believes that
Mr.. Lamont can carry the state OF New
York and can materially aid the cleo
ton of the electoral ticket For this
reason. there is good reason TO believe
that Mr. Hills contribution to the Ma
tional campaign fund would be several
hundreds or thousands Of dollars more
if Mr.. Lamont is named for governor
than il tim nomination goes to another
Moreover, it is said that Mr.. Hill would
contribute--lAaterielly to the campaign
in New York state if his friend Lamont
who also iS All intimate business asso-
ciate, should be running
From a Nstiona! Committee source
the belief wA expressed last night that
Mr. Hill would contribute fully 100000
to the national campaign and 100000 to

Lamont is named, and that his dona-
tions might sach twice that sum if the

\ day later, August 10, in explaining
this publication, it said that it had been
obtained from a smember of the Demo
cratic Natf6hdi Committee" This would
seem to establish itsTauthenticity. AT
least it shows fhe attitude of James j.
llill and the other trust magnates whose
business President Roosevelt broke up
with his merger suit. 1t shows that
they are preparing to give money to
the Democratic campaign fund with the
expectation that Parker, if elected, will
be friendly TO them.

MOB AFTER THE NEGRO.
George w. Williams, the negro who
was Monday identified by Miss
Laura Knode as the wretch who
dragged her into the bushes near
Harpers Ferry and criminally as
saulted her, was the center of an angry
mob as Pig Pool. counle of miles
below Cherry Run. ON the Mar land
side OF tue Potomac. Tuesday night.
For a few minutes 1t looked as if
the fellow would DO taken from the
officers and lynched on the spot, but
Sheriff Billmyer and deputies drew
their revolvers, and with the assist
ance of several men, succeeded in
holding the crowd at bay until the
covering negro was hustled off.
The prisoner, who was in charge of
three officers. Sheriff Billmyer and Dep
uty Herbert Rogers, of Jefferson
county, and Constable S. ID. Rhodes,
of Hancock, escaped Tuesday night
about 10 O'Clock at a point about one
mile west of Big Pool, Md, where he
was taken by the officers over the
Western Maryland from Hagerstown
ON their way to Piedmont, and is still
at large. although the surrounding
country is being secured by men and
bIoodhounds. The officers on the way
learned that mob was at Cherry
Run so they decided to drive from Big
Pool to Hancock and connect with
the Baltimore & Ohio. The team,
however, was intercepted by the mob
and when they arrived at Big Pool.
they bad no way TO get to the
other railroad.
During this time body of men,
numbering 40, all residents of that
neighborhood. collected near Big
Pool with the Intention of capturing
the fiend and lynching him The par
ty crossed the river at the ferry near
the railroad and was coming up the
road when it met the officers with
the prisoner and a fracus ensued and
it was during this time that the prison
err made his escape.
When the officers saw the mob they
knew full well their intention and in
order to defend the prisoner, hid in
the bushes, and it was then that the
negro took to his heels. He made
dash across the road and entered
field Of oats. which with the darkness
hid him from view Of the officers.
Several shots were fired at the feet
Ing man but none took effect. Con-
stable Rhodes started after the man
but he trampled on a log spraining
his ankle. The mob with the officers
took up the chase, but they made little
head way during the night Wednesday
morning they discovered where he
had spent the night in a tree, only a
short distance from where he escaped
and it Ia thought that he was hiding
there when the search was going on
Tuesday night. The marks OF the
hand-cuffs were In the tree as well as
mud that was on his shoes.
Sheriff Billmyer telegraphed for his
bloodhound as soon as the ESCAPE was
made. From the..trail. the escaped man

and was tempted tn return bv another
road, but thinking the negro would
suspect this and change his position
so as to meet her, she determined to
return nome by the road she had
driven over into Harpers Ferry.
A few miles out of the town she
rounded bend IN the road, and saw
the fellow standing just ahead.
Frightened and with premonition of
impending trouble, she endeavored to
escape by whipping up the horse, but
the fellow was too quick for her and
pulled her from the buggy
Realizing that she was helpless in
the powerful grasp of the wretch. she
still retained her senses and noted his
appearance and dress, with the idea
Of being able to identify him il he
should be captured.
After she was released she begged
the wretch to catch her horse for her
so she could get home. This he did,
aud ordered her to drive toward
Harpers Ferry. starting himself TO
go in the other direction. She refused
to drive back, aud the negro then
went toward the railroad tracks. stat.
ing that lie would never come to that
neighborhood again. When he re-
leased the girl her face was covered
with blood from the wounds made
by his hand, and he used his grimy
handkerchief to wipe the blood awav.
The girl made her way to a neigh
boring house, where she was cared
for until able to go to Harpers
Ferry. AS soon as the news of the
terrible crime was made known
hundreds OF Infatuated men i'm
mediatlv started out to find the guilty
wretch. and his fate would have been
settled at once il be had fallen into
the hands of the crowd. All night
long the country was secured by
bands of armed aud determined men,
aud the Baltimore q Ohio Iailroad
was guarded at every point as far
west as Cumberland. Bloodhounds
were taken TO the scene bv Sheriff
Billmyer, aud the negro was trailed
three times to the railroad tracks by
the dogs.
In order 20 avoid any possibility of
the negro being lynched, he was
placed on a train on the Cumberland
Valley road at o'clock, and was
taken north, presumably to Hagers-
town.
The feeling against the prisoner is
SO high in Jefferson county, that he
would be lynched as soon as the peo-
Pile could get hold on him. 1t is said
by the officers that he will not be taken
to Charles Town until the excitement
subsidies.
SUSPECTS ARRESTED HERE.
Monday evening the colored man
giving his name as George Williams
and his home as about 20 miles below
Brunswick, was arrested on Balti-
more & Ohio freight train in the
wards at Msrtinsburg, and placed in
the lookup to await identification.
While he did not answer the descrip-
tion in all sential points. he came
pretty close TO it, and word was i'm
mediatel7 sent to Harpers Ferry to
the officers there. Williams was ar
rested by Officers Blake and Hollis and

Williams stoutly denied any knowl-
edge Of the crime. He stated that he

accused Of assaulting Miss Laura
Knode near Harpers Ferry. and who
escaped from Constable Rhodes at a
point opposite Cherry Run, while rum
ming along the Wabash railroad tracks
to escape mob, is now safely behind
the bars in the jail in Martinsburg.
The negro arrived in Martinsburg
about 4 o'clock this morning in custo-
dy of Sheriff Stuckey, of this city, and
Deputy Sheriff Burns. of Charles
Town, to whom the prisoner had been
surrendered by Sheriff Downin, of Ha-
gerstown, at the Potomac river at
2 o'clock this morning. Williams was
taandcuffed to Officer Charles Blake,
of this city, who made one of the posse
which went to Maryland yesterday
evening when the news that the ne
gro had been seen at Pinesburg, about
rhree miles from Williamsport.
Oficer Blake was chiefly instrumen-
tai ia arresting the negro in the Bal
timore 8 Ohio yards here Tuesday
night after the assault, and 1t was de-
.cided by the officers that he should
be the deputy who was to have actual
charge of the prisoner on his way to
the jail. With the sheriffs were half a
dozen armed men, nearly all of whom
had been actively engaged in the
search for the negro during the two
preceding days, and who went to Ha-
gerstown to help protect the prisoner
from any demonstration of violence
which might be made after hereached
this side of the river.
Williams was retaken Thursday
evening about o'clock by Sheriff
Downin Of Hagerstown, who captured
him near Pinesburg, where the negro
had appeared and asked some of the
men to remove the handouts, which
he still wore.
STORY OF THE AFFAIR.
Miss Laura Kuode, the young and
pretty victim of negro tiend's
brutality. stood in the rear of the
cells at the mayors Office shortly
after noon Tuesday. and in the most
positive and emphatic manner, al
though laboring under repressed
mental anguish, identified the negro
George Williams as the fellow who
assaulted her Monday afternoon.
The scene as the young woman.
pale but collected and firm, pro.
nounced the words which fixed the
guilt of the awful crime upon the
cringing wretch before her, was
charged with dramatic elements
which held the crowd about her as
silent as death as the fateful words
fell from her lips, ONLY to be fol-
lowed hv murmur of suppressed
rage and satisfaction.
The Identification of the wretch
came as climax to a scene wit
messed bv as many as could crowd
into the narrow space in the rear of
the cells. Two other suspects had
been brought before the Young wo-
man, vino, as soon as she obtained a
full view, of them, declared that
neither was the guilty. one. Then
Williams, slouching and evil looking,
was brought from his cell and placed
in the light before the girl.
One long. searching glance into
HE face. o percaptible shrinsing OF
the buily form. and the girls words
came clear and positive:
THAT is the man. 1t is he! Those
eyes, can never forget them r.
Instantly there was movement in
the crowd. and the negro found him
self pinioned in the powerful grasp
of dozen stalwart men who were
