SURPRISE AT LYNCHERS' TRIAL.
Witness Is Threatened With Sum-
mary Vengeance

CHARLOTTE, N c., July 25.-The state
sprung a surprise on the defense in the
trial of Zeke Lewis, in Union court yes
terday, when Offering rebuttal testimony
counsel produced a letter received by Sheriff
Began of Arson county, threatening him
with summary vengeance if he testified
against any member of the mob at the
trial.
The letter was received May %, and was
signed The Crowd That Lynch j. "
Johnson" and threatened the sheriff with
death if he revealed the name of any man
he recognized at the Jail. The letter stated
that there were 342 men in the mob. and
thought there might be some fools among
them; that at least 275 were settled men,
who knew what they were talking about
and would do as they said.
The defense hotly objected to the Gdmis-
sion of this letter, but the court admitted
II for the jury TO consider. bearing on
the conduct and evidence of Sheriff Began
and II was read to the juries, and put in
evidence
Sheriff Began was recalled and swore
positively to his identification of Lewis as
the ringleader of the mob, declaring that
he talked to him twice the night of the
lynching in the jail and had known him for
years. Lewis. he said, was not disguised
and there could be mistake in identity
The state here rested and the argument
began. The case Will go to the Jury to-
day.

Clarence barrow of Chicago, for two ses-

claimed the innocence of his client and the

T n Hawley, leading counsel for the state,
and Orchard were the figures around whom
most of the storm OF the day centered.
throughout the ten weeks of testimony
taking Hawley and barrow have FLASHED al
most daily, and there have been frequent
exchanges of angry words until during
Havley's argument the lie was passed.

morning he started towards Mechan-

saloons. He was found by Martin on
the levee. The two secured a buggy
and began taking in the sights. AT
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
stranger was deposited at his broth

Martin and the evidence required

show that Ed Martin had anything
to do with the matter. Both are

supreme court mad a chance to pass
on the question of consdtutionalit,
each time, and this opinion of the
supreme court was there to guide
the lawmakers in drafting a substt
tute for the defective law, 1t is alto
gether probable that the substitute
would be drawn so as to pass inspec

lobby and the learned counsel would
be put to it for defense of the bis

brains than money and can say
truthfully that l have never met a

word he is a Jew and has done more
for his race than many a man of his

He has been in your city for fifteen

on his head ought to be honored by
many who do or do not know him.

ST VALENTINES DAY.

St. Valentine, whose day is cele-
brated on February IA, was a priest
who suffered martyrdom about A. d,
go. The origin of the peculiar OBJ
servances that once characterized the
day is somewhat obscure. The saint
himself who was a priest of Rome,
living in the third century, "like the
flowers that bloom in the spring ira
Ia" had nothing to do with the case.
1t was the practice in ancient
Rome in February, during the feasts
they were drawn by the men as cho-
of LupercaG to place the names of
young women in a pox from which
they were drawn by the men as
chance directed. The pastors of the
early Christian church, who endeav-
ored to eradicate the vestiges of pa
ganism substituted the names OF
saints in this lottery instead of the
names of women. The outline of the
ancient ceremonies was preserved
modified by adaptation to the Chris
tian system.
st. Valentines death was sad and
cruel. He was first beaten with clubs
and then beheaded. the greater part
of his remains are preserved in the
church of st. Prayedes, at Rome
where a gate, now the Porta lei Pa
polo, was formerly named from him
Porta Valentino
