people have to be of the gentlemen's
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's
to be made. John brakes, a shoe
maker, coming to this tailors and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make it
Of the same fashion as the Knights
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made Of Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear it. Perceiving the same to be
full of cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. Il have done naught but what

Of STAFFELDT

Child'sAssailant May Be
Guilty of Crime Beck
er ConfeSSeS.

NEW YORK. May 9O.-Arraigned be-
fore Magistrate ConnoTton in the Long
Island police court today for having at
tackled fve-year-Old Mamie Luck. at
Corona, Leon Graham, a savese-looking
youth, furnished the police with start
ling evidence which pointed to him as
te probable slayer Of Amelia Staffeldt.
In every detail Of his appearance. even
to the attire he wears, the young man
bears a startling resemblance TO Henry
Becker, the half-witted prisoner who
has confessed 10 the murder in one
breath and tearfully denied ii in the
next.
The striking similarity between the
two boys. added 70 the fact that Graham
has confessed to having attacked twelve
girls; that he told a false story as to
his whereabouts on the day the child
was killed, and that in his home a shirt
from which holes had been cut was
found, have given a still more baffling
turn 20 the Staffeldt mystery.

JUDGE LYNCH
BARRED FROM
DOOR. OF JAIL
Danger of Summary
Vengeance Averted by
Police Chief.

MARLINTON, w. Va, May 80.
"A promise of death for life is the
bargain by which indignant citizens
of this region were induced to pro-
tect Warwick Ratliff and Albert Gay,
aSsailantS of little Miss Ona Bird,
from the mad fury of the mob.
The guards are old residents, who
wish to save the little town from
the disgrace and nOtoHety a lynching
would bring, but they informed
Chief of Police Yeager that they
would leave the prisoners to their
fate unless they were assured that
the maximum penalty for the crime
be imposed.
Crisis Has Passed.
That the issue is in the hands of
the court apparently made no differ
ence to them, for the promise was
made. and under it they have pro-
tected the prisoners from Judge
Lynch.
The crisis has passed, and there is
no probability of a double lynching.
With Ratliff and Gay lodged in Jail,
the citizens viii refrain from fur
ther demonstration.
But swift vengeance was close to
the prisoners on Tuesday night.
Many men came here from Win
terburn, Ronceverte, and other
places within a radius of 100 miles,
to assist in the contemplated lynch
ing. From other towns came the
message: "If you need men for
lynching, let US know how many,
and they viii come"
Chief of Police Yeager learned
that the would-be lynchers were to
make their final attempt Tuesday
night. In order to protect Ratliff
and Gay from the angry mob. he
doubled the guard inside and out
side the Jail.
Protecting Prisoners.
All other prisoners were sent to the
second floor, while Ratlin and Gay were
/ locked behind recently strengthened
doors on the ground floor. All the
guards were armed with Winchesters
and ordered TO protect the prisoners al
