REFUSES CHANCE
TO CHANGE CHARGE
Mexican Prefers to Be Tried on Charge
of Intent to Commit Murder
Rather Than Plead
Guilty

When arraigned before Judge Smith
in the superior court yesterday on the
charge of assault with intent to commit
murder, Patricio Espinoza, a Mexican
laborer, refused the opportunity of
pleading guilty to charge of simple
ult, which the district attorney was
willing to substitute, and insisted on
being tried on the former charge.
Espinoza and Owen Elftman, a con-
tractor quarreled at Compton June 70,
and in the row it is said that the Mexi-
can drew a revolver. Before he had a
chance to use it the gun was taken
from him by the spectators.
To his attorney, William E. Brown,
he is said to have admitted attempting
to use the weapon, but he does not
think he is guilty of the charge because
it was taken from him.
Judge Smith set his case for trial on

 Mob Is Orderly.

Cumberland, Md. October 6.--The first lynchins in the history of Cumberland oc- cured early this morning, when Will liam Burns, a negro desperado, who had killed Policeman August Banter, felt the rough judgment of lynchers Banter s death on Saturday was followed by threats against the negro, these coming as much from negroes as from whites. The police paid not attention to the ru- mors that were adoat.
 Only Deputy Sheriff Adam Pendly was at the jail when, after midnight, 100 men appeared and demanded the keys. These being refused, a telegraph pole was used as a battering ram. and the entrance to the building was forced.
 Other negroes in the neighboring cells were careful to guide the lynchers to that of Burns. and here again the bat tering ram was used. The lynchers found their victim erouched behind his cot and seizing him by the feet, dragged him downstairs and into the street, where in a few yards of the jail, Burns was kicked and shot to death.
 The Rev. W. Cleveland Hicks, an Epls- copal clergyman. did his best to save the negro until the arrival upon the scene ol Judge A. Hunter Boyd and the police
 Judge Boyd called upon the crowd 10 dspersc, and in this he was promptly obeyed. The body was aremoved to an undertaking establishment and 10000 per sons are estimated tc have viewed it to- day.

He has no respect for the laws of the country legislative or statutory, if they happen to interfere with the consum- nation of any of his schemes or plans The fiat of his spasmodic will. superln- duced by consuming vanity, is the only law which he respects. But withal he Is a remarkable man, and has a wonGerful hold upon the imagination of the peop.e.
 He has preached purity in politics and at the same time accepted from the rail- roads contributions to corrupt the ballot accepted the office bought for him by the criminal contribution and then turns around and undertakes to preach politi- cal honesty to the people who corruptly bought for him the office he holds.
