TWO ONE-LHGGED NEGROES.
One Would Help Serve the Others Term in the Penn --Mother Offers to do Same

accepted as convict at the state penitentiary that he might short en the term of friedd broke the monotouy of the daily routine of business at the penitentlary office yesterday morning. Hum Brown, one-legged negro, sentenced to two years in the pehitentiary from Dallas county on charge of arson, was the convict. Arthur Brown, a uegro, and also one legged and Ho relative of Hum Brown, was the negro who sought to break into the penitentiary to shorten his friends sentence.
 Hum Brown was brought to the penitentlary yesterday morn ing from Fordyce by Sheriff J. B. Benton of Dallas county, Sheriff Benton also brought Weldon Gregory, another negro who is to serve one year, having been con- Evicted on charge of grand larceny. When Sheriff Benton left Fordyce yesterday morning with the two negroes he noticed that Aunt Annie" Brown, mother of Hun Brown, was on the train. He did not notice Arthur Brown until the train stopped in Little Rock. When Sheriff Benton got of the train and started with his two prisoners to the penitentiary he was over taken by the negro woman and by Arthur Brown, who asked permission to accompany him to npenitentiary. Sheriff Benton, knowing that they would no. be permitted inside the walls, sought to deter them, but they followed. When Hun Brown was being measured and fitted with clothes preparatory to donning the stripes, Arthur Brown presented himself to the officials and asked that he, too, be put behind the bars. Inasmuch as Hun Brown had been sentenced to two years, he tboue ht that by serving year of the time himself the two could be given their freedom at the end of years time. He was informed that he could not serve part of the time inasmuch as the sentence was in the nature of punishment for Hum Brown.
 Mother Offered to Serve Sons Term.
 The Doy's mother then sought to be accepted as convict, dc claring she would serve the whole time II her sou were allowed to go free. She pleaded with the officials to liberate her sou and take her, declaring he was inno- cent of any crime. Hum Brown maintains his innocence of the crime for which he stands con- victed.
 Sheriff Benton stated yesterday that the evidence on which Brown was convicted was largely cir cumstantial. A barn was burned and one-legged negro was seer leaving the vicinity shortly after ward. The tracks in the road showed that the negro had a good right leg, but had a wooder peg for a left leg. There are two peg-legged negroes Tn Dallas county. One Is Hum Brown anc the other is Arthur Brown. Boli were suspected at first. but tht tracks Tn the road showed Il could not have been Arthur Brown, because he has good left leg and a peg right leg. On thi' point of evidence, with a few other circumstances, Hum Browr was convicted. He maintained his innocence at the trial and LII to the present time. Many white people at Fordyce doubt his gull
 and an effort will be made to have him pardoned. His mother
 heriff Benton says, is one Of tn best old negro woman in For dycc.

sell its product except through its
JObbers? Yes. there is a place for
the jobber in the class Of trade
that buys small quantities only Of
any one thing that a factory turns
out.
One thing that the jobber should
strive for, too, is to create indi-
Vldual lines and individual brands
of goods. There is no profit in his
handling marked articles. He NAV
40 tins successfully in his own lit
tie village, hut he cannot go into
the other fellows territory unless
he has merchandise that bears an
individual brand or individual quail
ity. The successful jobbers today
are those who really are not lob
bers. They rather combine the
iobhing and manufacturing busi-
ness; that IS. they carry enough
things 10 mike a complete line,
but they control the output Of fac
tories as nearly as they can. some
times entirely, and in a great
measure they really become manu-
facturers themselves.
But whether a man be a manu-
facturer or iobber, he has his
troubles with his customer. This
distributing merchandise after it is
made is like treading barefoOtcd
on d bed of roses. It may look
pretty and smell sweet, but you

declaration that more than 1,100 per-
sons under Indictment in the criminal
court are at liberty, untried and not
likely to be tried for months, even it
they are apprehended by the authori-
ties.
Among the list are scores of danger
GUS criminals with prison. records in
various parts of the country. The
dockets in the office of the state g
attorney show that 651 persons are
running free under bonds, many OF
which are said to be worthless, and that
507 more, tho indicted, have never been
taken into custody. The sheriff reports
that they cannot be found, but it il
likely that many of them are in the
city. Z
In spite Of wide publicity; in spite
| Of resolutions by the uncoguid; in
spite of all endeavors Of the police
force to- cover the assigned districts
and protect tie people, the reign OF
crime goes on practically unchecked
and murders and robberies multiply

-AT EW YORK, Jan. 27.-Colonel
IN William d. Mann, editor Of
Z I. Town Topics, was arrested,
late tonight on charge of perjury.
The charge is based on the testimony
given by him during the trial Of the
criminal libel suit against Norman
Hapgood, editor Of Golfers Weekly,
in which Justice Joseph NJ. Deuel. of
the court of special sessions, was the
complaining witness. The warrant was
issued by Justice McAvoy, an asso-
ciate of Justice Deuel. on the bench
of the court of special sessions.
James w. Osborne, attorney for Mr..
Hapgood in his trial which ended in
his acquittal yesterday; Robert j. Col
lier, David N. Carvalho, noted hand
writing expert, and Moses E. Wooster,
former solicitor Of Fads and Fancies,
called on Justice McAvoy in his pri-
vate chambers in the criminal court s.
building this afternoon. There, sit
ting as a committing magistrate, JUS
tice McAvoy issued the warrant.
Basis Of Arrest
It was based on the conflicting tes-
timony given by Mann and Wooster,
with reference to the Count Reginald
Ward letter, introduced as evidence
during the trial The letter bore the
Endorsement on the back Of one Of the
Folds o. K, w. D. M.''seC Colonel Mann
denied that he had written this in
dorsement and pronounced it a forgery.
He was followed on the stand by
i Wooster, who swore that he saw Col
onel Mann write his o. K. and initials
on the letter. .1s r. x
The proceedings before Justice Nc.
Avoy were brief and unsensational. The
affidavit on which the warrant was is
sued, signed by Robert J. Collier, was
read to Colonel Mann. He denied the
j charge of perjury and was released or
$4,000 bail, furnished by his son-in
law. The hearing will take place at
clock Thursday afternoon. "
