NEGROES ARE PROSPEROUS

Selma, January 31.-(Special) -This
morning the jury in the case of Wilbur
Mahan, a negro, charged with assault
with intent to KILL brought in verdict
of guilty There were four indictments
against the negro: two for carrying con-
ceaed weapons, one for the larceny of
a pistol, and one for assault with intent
to murder About two years ago Mahan
went into the Tissier Hardware company
and when he went out of the store a
pistol went with him. Mr.. r. p. Camp
bell, a clerk in the establishment, upon
missing the weapon, secured a horse and
went in pursuit of the negro Overtak-
ing him on the Summerfield road about
two miles from the city Mr.. Campbell
approached Mahan when the latter pull
ed the pistol and began shooting at Mr..
Campbell The horse on which Mr.. Camp
bell sat began to rear but Mr.. Campbell
got his own gun out and shot five times
putting all five of the bullets into the
body of the negro. Strange to relate,
none of the wounds proved fatal and
he recovered
The cases charging carrying concealed
weapons ard larceny, were tried yester-
day, convictions being returned in both

.AFFIRMS DEATH SENTENCE
NEW YORK COURT OF APPEALS
REFUSES NEW TRIAL TO AL
BERT T. PATRICK.

Albany, N. Y, June 10.-The court
of appeals has, by a vote of 4 to 8,
sustained the lower courts in adjudg-
ing Albert T. Patrick, the New York
lawyer, guilty of murder in the first
degree. in causing the death of Will
lam Marsh Rice, an aged millionaire,
formerly a resident. of Texas.
On April Z, 1902, Patrick was con-
victed on an indictment charging him
with the murder of Rice by chloroform
and mercury administered to him dur
ing his sickness on Sept. 20, 1900.
The case reached the court of ap-
peals on March 4 of this year, when
David B. Hill, who appeared for the
appellant, based his argument for a
reversal mainly on the contention that
the condition of Rice's body revealed
by the postmortem exa mination might
have been caused by fluids used in
embalming.
Patrick has succee5cd in Iostpon-
ing the ultimate decision of his fate
for over three years by a display of
>acumen and resourcefulness that has
excited the wonder OF the members of
the bar and the public at large.
