NEGRO IS CAUGHT
 IN WOMAN'S ROOM Lynching is Averted By Coel
 Headed Citizens PRISONER Is INDIFFERENT Screams of Woman Scare the Intruder Away Before He Does Any Harm
 and He Is Captured By
 Posse of Citizens.
PRISONER IS INDIFFERENT

Ashland August 0.-(Special.) )-W ednes- day night about 10 o'clock the quiet home of MT. Mitchell at Bluff Springs in the southern part of this, Clay coun- ty, was aroused by the screams of Mrs. Ann Bolan. She was awakened by some one going to her bed and taking hold of her, and when an investigation was made by her and Mir Mitchell with whom she lives, it was found that a negro man was getting out of the room through a window. Both she and Mir Mitchell recog nized the negro as Harrison Harper, a negro boy about 20 years old whom J. C. Street had sent 10 his Bluff Springs farm from Opelika, Ala.
 MT. Mitchell ran the negro some dis tance but could not catch him. After obtaining help he established a cordon of citizens around the farm and early Thursday morning he was captured in an old gin house where he had gone to sleep.
 lynching was avoided by the coolness of MT. Mitchell and a few other of the best citizens of the county. They put the negro in the upper story of house and established strong guard while they awaited the arrival of Sheriff J. B. Mil- Ter. whom they had phoned to come for the prisoner
 Sheriff Miller arrived here at 10 o'clock and safely landed the negro in jail. h. dignation ran high and no doubt had the lady's near relatives known of the af- fair before Sheriff Miller got the negro there would have been a lynching. The crowd that had assembled only needed a leader.
 A speedy trial Is being talked of and in all probability Judge Pearce will act in accord with the general demand.
 To your correspondent who saw him in the jail, the negro told very disconnected story. strongly denying having done any thing out of the ordinary. He does not seem to realize the enormnity of the crime or else he chose this route as the shortest to the gallows. He is reported as having said that he did not care if they did hang him.
 Everything seems to be quiet now and 1t appears that the law will be allowed to take its course.

vention is not opposed to President
Roosevelt because it is not a politf-
cal convention" declared DR.. E. G.
Morris, the president, in calling the
Lational Baptist negro convention
together at the second days session.
DR.. Morris said there We're many ne
groes in the convention who are for
President Roosevelt, although they
are convinced that he made mis-
take in the Brownsville affair. The
speaker said further that these ne
groes believe the president is manly
enough to correct his error when the
time comes"
A number of addresses were made
and Rev. l.. U. Jordan, secretary of
the foreign mission board, made his
annual report. DR.. Jordan spoke par
ticularly of the work being done in
Africa, saying that uod had no other
purposes in permitting the negroes to
be brought to this country as slaves
than to prepare them to send the
gospel to their brothers and sisters in
darkest Africa. The receipts of the
foreign mission for the year were

DELAY OF HANGING
WIFE MURDERER BEFORE SUI
PREME COURT DEMANDING
RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY.

Washington, Sept. 13.-An interest
ing question, that involving the right
OF trial by jury in the canal zone
will come before the United States
supreme court at an early date
through the operation of a writ of err
ror issued August 16 by Chief Justice
Fuller in the case of Adolphus Coul-
son, condemned to death in the canal
zone for the murder of his wife. The
TACT that Coulson had been sentenced
10 die without the privilege of trial by
jury came to the attention of several
congressman who made a trim to Pam
anna, including Representative Mccall
OF Massachusetts and former Represen-
tative Brooks of Colorado, through
wnom the case was taken before Chief
justice Fuller. The original sentence
In Coulson's case was to he executed

the minds of officials here whether
the writ of error granted by Justice
ruler has been served on the Panama
authorities and he has received the
benefit OF the intercession in his be-
nan. Mr.. Mccall made special trip
u Washington to see what had been
done.
Coulson is a West Indian negro
charged with poisoning his wife. The
sentence was the first involving CAPT
tai punishment ever imposed on the
iS'hmus and the trial was held before
court of three judges. over which
Judge Gudger presided.
