discharged, the bullet striking him in
the right side, perforating the liver and
spleen, and injuring the spinal cord.
He was hurried to Mercy Hospital.
where an operation was at once per-
formed and the bullet removed. The
physicians from the first entertained
but slight hopes of Mr.. Fields re-
coyery, although the patient for two
days seemed to hold his own. At 9
o'clock yesterday morning a decided
change for the worse took place, and
Mr.. Field grew rapidly weaker until his
death. Death came quietly to young
Field, who was unconscious nearly two
hours before he died, the paralyzed
spinal cord saving him from agony.

The MerIwetber Trial.

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. 2S.-Midship-
man Branch, who died at the Naval
Academy November 7th, after a fight
with Meriwether died as the result of an
immenfe blood clot on the left side OF
the brain. The operation for clot was
performed on the right side.
This was stated in testimony this
morning by d.. James d. GatewOod,
naval surgeon, Who related the findings
of the autopsy on Rranch's body, held
Sunday. Practically no weakness was
discovered in the system except in one
of the kidneys, and the lungs aud heart
seemed, 50 far as could be learned, from
the autopsy, to have been in excellent
condition. Stating the finding of the
surgeons, DR.. GatewOOd, said:
"The body was relatively we'll pre-
served. There was marked evidence of
large confusion on the left side OF the
head, extending from the left templar
region upward and forward. There was
small confusion. the size of dime, at
the basis of the skull. The face and
fOrearms showed evidences of bruises.
The teeth were all there and unlOosened
Two prism like places appeared on the
skin of the legs and band of similar
skin appeared on the forehead.
"The body was that of a we'll develop
ed young man, with good shoulders and
neck.
When the scalp was opened there wa'
marked evidence of blood diffusion
When the scalp was barred it was fOunC
unbroken and unmarried, except at tbt
seat of the operation. When the skull
was removed a confusion was found
between the brain and skull. There was
marked bulging of the membranou:
covering at the left side. This membrane
was of blush color and unbroken save
for the operation.
Asked to which cause be was more in.
clined to assign Branch's injury, TO re-
peated fist blows vita punching-bag
gloves or violent fall upon floor under
laid with concrete, DR.. GatewoOd re-
piled:
81 would consider the injury far more
likely to be caused by the latter condition
than by the direct impact of fist"
Further testimony on the autopsy will
| be heard this afternoon.

Emperor williams Condition.

Manchester, Nov. 2S.-The Dispatch
is authority for the statement that En-
peror William of Germany will soon un-
dergo M operation on his ear, which, il
unsuccessful, may result, in serious
brain trouble. The aiment from which
The Kaiser is suffering is the disease OF
his left ear, from which he has suffered
from birth. Recently the disease has
developed serious symptoms which have
caused a great deal of anxiety to his
medical advisers. A distinguished Lon
don specialist has been summoned to
Berlin to perform the proposed opera
ton on the emperor The present
trouble with the ear was caused by a
cold which the Kaiser caught while
making a speech in the open air This
was followed by a severe attack OF
catarrh. This led to suppuration of the
middle ear, causing painful discharge
and acute neuralgia, which the German
aurists failed to relieve. The opera
ton will be performed on the mastoid
antrum. 1t is not necessarily serious in
itself, but aside from the danger always
inseparable from an operation in such a
delicate region the disease may spread to
the brain membranes after the operation
producing meningitis, with all its cor
relating dangers. There is also the
danger that the disease may spread from
the antrum to the lateral sinus produc-
ing blood poisoning, which will almost
certainly cause the patients death, if
the operation should be altogether I'M
successful. The patient runs the risk
of developing serious brain trouble in
any event.
Berlin, Nov. 2S.-It is stated in Off
cal circles here that the report printed
in the Manchester Dispatch today to the
effect that the Emperor would have to
undergo an operation is unfounded, the
Emperor's health, it is said, is excellent
in every respect.

TUESDAY EVENING. NOV. %, 1905

JAMES RICHARDSON, who was shot
and killed by policemen on the confines
of Alexandria yesterday, was the second
colored man who deliberately forfeited
his life in the same vicinity during the
past two months. Both were resisting
arrest and attempting to kill officers OF
the law and had to be shot down. The
two men we're killed in a neighborhOod
which has recently been the scene OF a
number Of highway robberies, as we'll as
several attempts TO hold up people going
to or returning from the new depot. The
footpads have been negroes in every
case. The circumstances in connection
with a negro iorcibly depriVing man
of his overcoat last Saturday night on
King street extended, as well at the rob-
berry OF a cOlored man at O'Clock last
Sunday afternoon almost within stones
throw of the new union depot, were given
in Yesterdays Gazette. The locality is
partly in Fairfax and partly in Alexan-
dria county, and law officers OF either
are seldom seen in the neighborhood,
hence negroes who work for railroad
companies and live in camps go armed
and become a menace to quiet people
who are compelled to live near them or
Others whose business or inclination
take them to the confines of the city. A
wear or two ago many persons imagined
that the multiiudes of Italians, Hunga-
r.ans. Greeks and others who would be
engaged in the new railroad work arourd
Alexandria would give the authorities
much trouble. The foreigners, as a
rlle. have been well behaved and enter
and leave the city in an orderly manner.
Negroes cause the trouble, and they ale
invariably members OF class that comes
from other States. Most Of the colOred
race who have been born in and around
Alexandria are not of the same genus,
and occasion but little trouble.

nesday, was arrested yesterday on another
warrant, charging him with the larceny

This warrant was the result of a confes-
sion made Sunday by Robert Trainer,
cOlored, before Chief of Police Rsglsnd
and two others at the city Jail.

than $50, is a felony, and conviction
could carry with it penitentiary term.

said that Harris instigated the rob-
berry, received all the money for
the cotton and then paid him.
Trainer was few days ago sent on to
the Hastings Court for trial for the a.
legged theft of the cotton Shortly after
his arrest yesterday Harris was re-
leased on $500 bail for his appearance
in the Mayors Court next Wednesday.
Harris is an internal revenue deputy
in the district and was delegate to the
last national republican convention.
He was at one time a member of the
Virginia Legislature and for some time
was an officer of the John Dix Industri-
al School in Dinwiddie county. He for
merly practiced law here. He denies
the charges and has engaged counsel to
represent him.
Harris will be remembered by many Of the
older residents of Alexandria. as he lived IN
this city shortly after the civil war and was
prominent in reconstruction days

THE MERIWETHER TRIAL.

The trial of Midshipman Meriwether,
before a court-martial at the Naval
Academy, at Annapolis, on the Oh arge of
manslaughter, is nearing close. The
prosecution closed Few days ago, after
having introduced number OF witnesses
who told of the fight, and medical ex-
perts who gave it as their professional
opinion that Midshipman Branch died
from blows received in the fight with the
accused.
Lieutenant Commander John X.
Robson, counsel for the defense, stated
yesterday afternoon when the court adj
iourned that when he had finished with
the medical experts, who will tell what
they learned by the the autopsy, he
would put Meriwether on the stand as
the last witness for the defense.
Most of the evidence yesterday was
submitted to show longstan!ing animOs-
ity between Branch and Meriwether,
and that the latter knew Branch had
talked of using his position to carry on
the grudge.
Both men fell together three times
during the fight, it was testified, and
Branch struck his head, but gave no sign
of injury then.
Testimony as TO the autopsy was nor
ready to be introduced. but counsel for
the defense asked sn adjournment, to
give him an opportunity to read The
report.
The following letter, which Meriweth
er wrote Mrs. Branch day or two after
the death of her son, shows something
OF regret the accused feels at the fatal
outcome of the fight;
MY Dear Mrs. Branch.-As deeply
grieved as you are at the loss of your
son, am as much so as is possibla for a
person other than parent 10 be. This
deplorable and unfortunate accident is
one which will affect my whole life aud
career, and it has been deeply enrooted
into my mind in such a manner as |
shall never fOrget-that | have been the
cause of mothers and fathers loss of
their SOD, the loss of an efficient officer
to the naval service and the bringing to
an end of the life of one who had a
promising and brilliant career before him.
"MIYoR MERIwETHER. o."
A dispatch from Nashville, Tenn,
says: Mrs. NJ. G. Goodletl, yesterday
received reply to the telegram which
she sent to her young kinsman, Mid
shipman Minor Meriwether, in which
be says:
"Dear Mrs. Goodlett: 1t is a difficult
task to express my appreciation of the
sympathy and kindness expressed in
your telegram. When read the editorials
in the Southern papers and got the let
tiers Of sympathy Of Southern friends, it
stirred my blood, and made me proud of
the fact that | was a Southerner and that
my actions in this deporable matter were
in accordance with the tradiction of my
people and family. Very sincerely yours.
