NEGRO coNFRssES TO fRANKlsH CRIME.

Confronted with the fact that his
pipe had been found at the scene of the
crime, Charles Conley, negro farm
hand, yesterday admitted that he was
the assailant of Mrs. Albert Frankish
and Miss Gussie Leitch, who we're
wsylaid by negro and brutaIly
beaten on Sunday night of last week
near Brandywine Springs. Not only
did Conley confess to his attack. but
he was taken before Mrs. Frankish. at
her home at Mt. Cuba, and she posi-
lively identified him. Attorney Cen
eral II. ID. Richards in statement to-
night asserts that Conley's case will be
submittedt to the Grand Jury tomorrow
morning and that by the setting of the
sun he will be convicted and committed
to prison for the remainder of his life.
County courts and the Grand jury are
now IN session and nothing short of
speedy trial will satisfy the aroused
public feeling over the assault. State
Detectives Hawkins and GRAY have
been working on the suspicion that
Conley was the assailiant since Friday
last. On that day a negro identified
the pipe, Which the detectives. had
found at the scene of the assault as the
pipe he had given to Conlev. After
that the detectives devoted their tine
to tracing COnley's movements. They
found that he had been at Wooddale.
mile away, and had left there at 7
O'Clock Sunday night. The road from
Wooddale to Wilbur Fell farm, where
Conley lived, was the road trayersed
by Mrs. Frankish and her daughter
when they were attacked, Yesterday
at the workhouse Deputy Attorney
General Hastings and Chief of Police
Black confronted Uonley in his cell.
He denied that he knew anything of
the crime. Then he was told of the
finding of the pipe and the tracing of
his movements and he blurted out that
he had attacked the women. Il had a
few drinks In me aud didn't know what
L Was doing" he lcried. He said he
had followed the carriage containing
the two women for some distance along
the road, but did not know whether
the occupants were men or women.
Then he threw a rock into the carriage
out OF pure mischief and devilishness.
he said. After stunning Miss Leitch
he dragged Mrs. Frankish into the
road. He disclaimed any intention of
ravlshing the woman, but did mot ex-
plain why he pulled her from the
corriage into the highway,

Trolley matters took another
turn last week when Ulysses c..
Click who has been president
and promoter of the Smyrna, Kent
County and Delaware Bay Trac-
ton Company was relieved of his
duties and the affairs placed in the
hands of Supervising Chief Engen-
eer and General Manager J. w.
Endean. The latter now claims
to have interested some Wall Street
tlnanciers in the enterprise and the
signs look hopeful for the construc-
ton of a trolley from Delaware
City to Rehoboth. We trust it is
true. The people of Smyrna and
vicinity have read much trolley
stuff the past year and would like
to see something doing. After all
it matters little who builds the
trolley just so it is built. This is
an age of electric power and it
would seem that the great advan-
cement made in electric railway
systems in other states that Della
ware, the beautiful peach and gar
den state Of the East should receive
the benefit of a trolley line also.
In making Mr.. Endean the promo
fer of The Smyrna, Kent County
and Delaware Bay Traction Com
pany the Directors have every reason
to believe they have made a wise
choice. Mr.. Endean is an English
man and hustler and his practi-
cal experience with railway sys-
TENS should fit him for the work
that now devolves upon him. The
trolley will sooner or later embrace
Delaware. 1t must come.
There are some who have b cen
wont to ridicule the Times for
publishing so many trolley inter.
views. The Times has done this
not particularly to support Mr..
Click, not to support any one
person or director, but to support
the movement. 1t is the duty of
every newspaper to get back of
these commercial movements that
tends to better the conditions of
things in their town or community
The Times is willing to encourage
all public enterprises, to aid in the
fostering of home industries, to
induce other industries to locate
here, to do its part to help the
town grow. Once launched upon
a successful venture, the trolley
movement will mean much to
Smyrna and the whole state. It's
a civilizer. It's an artery that
gives life and vigor to business
activity. Why shouldn't we en-
courage such move ment? If our
citizens would do less criticisine
and get in back of the trolley
movement and le nd their hearty
encouragement it would help mat
tiers materially and give it an i'm.
petus that would eventually result
IN its success. We are sorry tha
Mr.. Click could not make a sue
cess of the valuable franchises he
secured and the movement h,
inaugurated, but our best wishe.
are with Mr.. Endean that hi
efforts which now seem so promis
ing will be forthcoming of fruitful
results.

a present and addressed the gift for

manner the letter while at the post

check, much to his surprise. He i'm !.
mediately returned the same to Major
O'Biren, saying that he thought it
too good to be true, as he had only
received a % cent necktie for his
Christmas present. In due time Rev.
Litherland received his check and

in Harrison received another letter
containing a check for $50 with a
small note from Major O'Brien, wish

it for the headlight Of Special 326 and

ahead but the moon. So he stops the
train and backs up for the two guys.
