GIRL STILL AWAY,
FRIEND BLAMED
BY Mr.. DEMPSEY
Two Letters Received
Since Madeline Van
iShed From City.
Father Thinks Them
Written by FrederickS-
burg Man.

The disappearance Of hfteen-year-old
Madeline Dempsey from her home, at
IS45 Fourteenth street northwest, ten
days ago. remains a complete mystery.
in spite of the efforts of the police and
her distracted relatives TO ascertain her
whereabouts After consulting with
detectives J. &c. w. L. Dempsey, her
father, editor OF a paper at Fredericks-
burg. Va. left for Richmond, in the
hope of obtaining some clue to the miss
ing girl there.
While here he showed the detectives
two letters received by the sister Of the
missing girl since her absence, pur-
porting to be from Madeline. and to the
effect that she hard gone TO South Caro-
lima as companion 10 a Mrs. Kleinheum.
These letters are dated at Washington
and Winchester, Va, and, according TO
Mr.. Dempsey, are IN a mans hand
writing They are. however, signed
''Aiadge" Mr.. Dempsey Informed the
police that he believed a former resi-
dent Of Fredericksburg, and previous
friend Of the family. was responsible
for his daughters disappearance. He
said IL is his opinion that these letters
were forged by this man.
Family in Suspense.
The missing girl with her two sisters,
Misses Joy and Halle Dempsey, came to
Washington some time ago and obtained
positions, Madeline being employed by a
Seventh street department store. She
left for work on April 20 and reported
at the store. but left a Few moments
afterward. She has not been seen since.
Her disappearance was Immediately re-
ported 70 her father and mother at Fred
ericksburg and the former came 10
washington Immediately and reported
her absence to the police. All efforts 20
locate her since that time have proved
unavailinE.
The elder Miss Dempsey, employed ny
a New York avenue loan and real estate
company, declined 10 discuss the case
when seen this morning, except TO state
that the entire family was almost pros
trated by her sisters disappearance and
we're unable to offer any plausible ex-
PLANTATION as to her younger sisters alb
sence. Mrs. Dempsey, especially, who
is stin at fredericksburg, is said 10
, be on the verge of nervous prOstration.
as day after day passes and no word
comes from her missing daughter.
Whether the fathers Richmond clue
will prove of any avail remains TO be
seen,
No Plausible Theory.
Any number Of theories have been
advanced as to the cause OF the girls
disappearance. including foul play. kid
naping. an elopement and a girlish es-
capade She is not believed to have
had any love affair, however, at least
not one so serious as TO eliminate in
an elopement. The family, therefore. is
in the dark and utterly unable to ex-
plain why she should have left home
i'm this manner. So far as is known the
girl took no clothing with her. and her
disa ppearanCe after reporting for work
at the department store, Indicates that
the entire affair was not premeditated.
The Washington detective force IS
still in search of a tangible clue upon
which TO work in an endeavor to fathom
the mystery.

Making Pleafor Com
demned Client
Calls Himself Ignorant and Says
Court Erred in Appointing Him
to Defend Prisoners Before
White Jury. :

Jackson, Miss. Oct. 26.-Assist-
ant Attorney-General Butler has now
under consideration three appeals
from the dath penalty in which the
lives Of Negroes are involved, "
TWO. Of these are from Tunica
county, the appellants being Henry
Turner and Saint Hopkins, both OF
whom were indicted, tried and con-
victed at special terms Of court for
Tunica, and sentenced to death.
Turner killed Negro and es-
capped to Arkansas, but meanwhile
he was indicted and subsequently
captured and returned to the state.
Hopkins also killed another Of his
race last February, and he, like Tur-
ner, was tried at the February spe-
cial term. -.
In these case, both the appel
lants make the point Of objection to
the lawyer who defended them, that
individual being Negro practitioner
". s. Scott, who was appointed by
the Court to defend the prisoners.
In his motion for a new trial and
notice Of appeal, Turner declares in
effect that the Court erred in ap-
pointing IAN ignorant Negro lawyer,
With no standing in the court, to pre-
sent his case before an entirely
white jury, and at time when pop
ular sentiment in Tunica county was
entirely agains tthe race to which he
the defendant belonged" ,.'.
The irony and humor connected
with this rather unique plea In abate-
ment Is further embellished by the
fact that the bill Of exceptions was
prepared and drawn by the same
Ignorant Negro lawyer" w. IS.
Scott, whose name coupled with that
of his client, is signed to the motion
for rehearing IN the lower court.
Appellant AYERS that had he been
defended by a white lawyer who
could have presented his, case In bet
ter manner to that Jury the result
ould have been different.
The Hopkins case is appealed on
the same general grounds Of objec.
ton to the white Jury which tried
his case, and also the ignorant Nc
gro lawyer" ~
