pense at $500 a day in order to attend
to certain matters pertaining to this
case and only rendered my bill accord
ing to the actual expense incurred"
When asked if he had read the state
ment in the papers, Mr.. Adams replied
that he had, but that no corrections
were offered, because he would pre-
fer the correction made at the time of
the trial, which has been postponed
until other witnesses a appear.
The following is the clipping that ap-
peared in the daily papers of this
city:
"P. w. Adams, a negro attorney of
this city, was taken before Commits
sioner e. L. Doak on Wednesday after
noon, Adams being charged with col
lecting an illegal fee for prosecuting
the pension claim of Isaac Denweed.
Specifically Adams is accused of col
Iecting $24 for prosecuting the claim,
but by law attorneys are forbidden
from charging a fee for the prosecu-
ton Of such cases exceeding $40. Sew
eral witnesses for the Government were
examined on Wednesday, among these
being Special Examiner Sullivan, of
the United States Pension Bureau. At
the request of the defendant the case
was continued until next Wednesday
in order to give the defendant an OPP
portunity to obtain some information
from Washington, which it is desired
to introduce as evidence"
Attorney P. w. Adams has offices
in Napier Court and has been looked
upon as one of the progressing prac-
titioners at the local bar. He has
given a deal of his time, it is said, to
the pension business. Mr.. Adams
stated to the Globe reporter that the
man who is bringing the charge is
not altogether very sound, and that
he fears this was done in one of his
unsound moods, as he has been known
to drive off with teams not belonging
to him, and to do other acts that no
sane man would do.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
BY FIRE.

Last Saturday night the residence
of Mr.. William Caruthers, Gil 10 John
ston avenue, was considerably dam
aged by fire caused hv the explosion of
q kerosene lamp. The fire was discov-
cred by Mrs. Caruthers in the room
occupied by Mr.. J.. S. Gray, assistant
foreman in the bookmaking depart
ment of the National Baptist Publish
ing House, and Mr.. Joseph Hopson, a
contractor. who happened to be out OF
the city at the time. Mrs. Caruthers
called Mr.. Gray at the critical mo-
ment. as the bed clothing was burning
fiercely when he realized what was
going on. He made his way with
great difficulty through fire and smoke
until he opened the door, when
by the cleer-headedness of Mrs. Ca
ruthers and brave fighting by both,
the fire was extinguished, but not be-
fore Mr.. GRAY was burned on the face,
ears and hands. The damage by fire
amounted to about $4,000. Mr.. Gray's
loss was considerable and included
two suits of clothes. two pairs OF
ehoes. etc. There was no insurance.
Mr.. Gray had a very narrow escape
from a horrible death.
