"You have been found guilty of most
heinous offence on girl under 16 years

Goodwin, rector of Bruton Church, and
Judge Tayl or Garrett, a former member
of the board, testified. All spoke high
ly of DR.. Foster, both as a man and as

sion was almost concluded when Colonel

director of the hospital or mentioned the
matter again to Robert Lee Spencer,
that in the summer of 1903, shortly after

tendent, Cloves brought DIR. Henderson
TO williamsburg and introduced him to
j, B. o. Spencer as the next superinten-
dent of the hospital. 1t was also proven
that Cowles was once a republican.
This testimony was introduced to dis
prove tn" statement made on the stand by
Cowles that pleasant relations existed be
tween DR.. Foster and himself, and to
show that it was Cowles' plan and inten-
ton to turn DR. Foster ont and put in
as superintendent man of his own
choice.
Judge Garnett said that Mr.. Cowles
aud Mr.. Cole had attempted TO rob the
superintendent of all his minor appoint
ments, and that it was only on the mat
ter being taken to the general board
that they desisted. He spoke highly of
the work of DR.. Foster aud spoke high

Mr.. Germans Successor.

Gov. Wsrfeid, of Maryland, has ap.
pointed Hon. William Pinkney Whyte,
the noted lawyer and former governor
and United States Senator, to GIL the
vacancy caused by the death OF Senator
German. Mr.. Whyie will serve until
the next legislature meets in January,
1908, when it will not only elect sue
cessor to Mr.. German, but also Sena.
tor to fill out his unexpired term until
March, 1909, when the new Senator
term begins.
At the State election next year, a sue.
cessor to Gov. War6eld will be elected.
Should he decide not to be candidate
for reelection, and should he have fol-
lowing in the new legislature, he may
be able to assure his own election as
Senator to Gil out the one year remain
ing of the German term.
Nj. Whyte is eighty-two years old.
Senator German, over quarter of CEN
tnry ago, defeated him tor reelection az
United States Senator and took his place.
Mr.. Whyte has been mayor OF Balti-
more, governor, and encouragement.
he has been antagonistic to the regular
organization for years,
The governor in appointing him does
so on the ground of his fitness to imme.
diately take up the work 10 the Senate,
and also as a tribute to the veteran dem
ocrats lifetime devotion to the interests
oil the city of Baltimore and Maryland,
thus enabling him TO round out his nota-
bic political career in the Senate.

GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD has appointed
William Pinkney Whyie, noted law
yer and former Governor and United
States Senator, TO fill the vacancy in the
United States Senate caused by the death
of Arthur Pue German. Mr.. Whyte
will serve until the Legislature meets, in
Janusry, 1908. At the State election next
Tesr successor to Governor War6eid will
be elected. Should he decide not to be
a candidate for reelection and should he
have following in the new legislature,
he may be able to assure his own cleo
ton as Senator, to fill but the one year
remaining of the German term. Sena-
tor Whyte is 80 years old and his ap-
pointment to Germans seat is somewhat
retributive, for German, over quarter
of century ago, defeated Whyte when
the latter sought reelection as Uuited
States Senator. Mr.. Whyte has been an
tagonistic to the regular organization
for years. Governor Warfeld's action
in appointingMr. Whyte will leave the
field open for free-fOr-all race for the
senatorship next year, but at the same
time the Governor has dealt the organiza-
ton, which elected him, another blow.
The Governor has opposed The organ
ization almost ever since his election.
He antagonized the negro disfranchis-
ing amendment last year aud he refused
10 appoint German men to Office. In
the appointment of Mr.. Whyte, it is
believed, he has had the counsel of the
enemies of the regular organization.
