SENTENCED TO PENITENTIARY.
Ellsworth Golden Given Five Years For As
sault On Mrs. Davis.

Ellsworth Golden, the young man
who was found guilty of assault with
attempt to MAIN upon Mrs. Florence
Davis, of Germantown, was today sem
fenced by the Court to five years in
the penitentiary. Golden will yet be
tried upon another charge, the case
having been removed from the local
Court to Baltimore for trial.
The charge upon which Golden was
tried and sentenced today is that of
having shot Mrs. Davis through a
window at her home near Annapolis,
the shot having also injured the
child Mrs. Davis held on her lap at
the time of the shooting. AS the
woman had her back turned, she did
not see Golden DO the shooting, but
circumstances connected with the case
caused his conviction at the trial
on the charge of assault with attempt
to MAIN.
Golden is said to have been madly
IN love with the woman, and insane
w jealous of her, and as she threaten
ed to tell her husband OF an assault
made upon her, the young man threat
ened her life. Golden had been given
shelter and food by the Davis family
before the shooting.

Defeat Johns Hopkins In Field And Track
Meet at Naval Academy.

The midshipmen defeated Johns
Hopkins in field and track meet Sat
urday afternoon by fifty-one points TO
forty-fve. The events were beautifully
contested. and il was not until the
last event that the navy athletes made
a victory certain. They did this by

lead. Carey, the Nayy's great sprinter
of last year, whC has recently re-enter-
ed the Academy, took second place in

tered. He is mot training and did
not expect TO take part. Mcconnell

the shot put, with a put of forty feet
two and three-fourth inches, feet
? 3-4 inches better than the former
figure. Stephenson did ten feet six
inches in the pole vault, two inches
better than the previous record.
AS a result of the meet, four Naval
academy records were broken, two
by Hopkins men and two by midship-
men In the 220-yard hurdles Perce,
of Hopkins, made it in % l-5 seconds,
Clipping OF a second from the
Academy record, and the same man,
in winning the broad jump, did 81 feet
10 inches, being Ia inches better
than the old record. So close was
the meet toward the end that the
middies decided TO enter Lee C..
Carey, of Maryland, their crack sprin-
ter last year. who resigned in Febru-
airy last, but has just been re-admit-
ted into the Academy. Carey was
watching the meet and was asked to
enter the 440-yard run. This he con
sented to do and was second TO EN-
NETT. Navy got four first places and
Hopkins two. Perce, of Hopkins,
was the star individual performer.

THE MARVIN CHILD FOUND DEAD.
Autopsy Shows No Evidence of Violence
Body In Good Condition.

Lying in a marshy piece of land the
body of little Horace Marvin, son of
DR.. III. y. Marvin, whose mysterious
Disappearance from the Bay Meadow
farm, near Dover, Del, had baffled
solution since March 4, was found
about half mile from the Marvin
farm Saturday by Ollie Pleasanton, a
farmer.
PIeasanton, who lives on farm ad-
Joining the Marvins, came upon the
child's body while out cunning. The
child lay face downward in patch
of meadow grass. There was not a
mark on the little boys body indi-
eating foul play, and it was in a good
state of preservation, suggesting that
il had been frozen.
All indications point TO the proba-
bility that it was placed there within
the last few days. DIR. Marvin, the
father, is certain the boy was kid
mapped and murdered, and every
effort will be made to solve the mys-
terry.
The body of little Horace Marvin
was laid in the grave under waving
plum tree in the lawn of Bay Mead
ows, DR.. Marvin's place, at sunset
Yesterday evening. The grave was
selected thus near the farmhouse be-
cause his father wants to spend the re-
naming days of his life where he
can place flowors and little tributes of
remembrance at his tomb.
At the autopsy it was found that
the boy had not been drowned; that
his body was in remarkable state of
preservation that his death was not
due to violence other than poison OF
sufTocation that his stomach was
entirely empty, and that starvation
might have been the cause.
