PAID LAWYER TO
KEEP His COOK
Negro Woman Charged With
Embedding Church Funds
Will Fight Requisition.
WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS
Employer Did Not Want to Lose
Good Servants, So He Charged
Peonage.

AS1iEVlL1.E, NJ c., March ia sem q
satioral turn has been given to the casa
of Matte Williams, the negro woman
arrested here March Sth, who is wanted
In Newberry, s. c., charged with having
embezzled money from the missionary so
cicty Of Zion Church, and whose em-
ployer in this city engaged attorneys to
defend her, for the reason that he did
not want to lose a good cook. Frank Carr
ter, the woman's counsel, appeared before
Judge ]. r.. Pritchard, In the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, and se-
cured a writ OF habens corpus to prevent
Sheriff NJ. M. Buford, of Newberry county,
s. O., from taking the womanJout OF the
State, under the reuuisition from tn
Governor of South Carolina and wh1
had been honorcd by Governor Glenn. 81
The charge was made by Mr.. Cares
that the claim that the woman had
embezzled funds of colored mis-
sionary society In Newbcrry was
fraud on Justice, was untrue, and the
real motive In taking her to South
Carolina was to return her to peonage,
and make her do involuntary labor for
| a. G. Workman. farmer OF LaurenS
| county, s. C. n
On application and affidavit, Judge
| Pritchard Issued a writ of habeas corr
pus and the woman was brought be-
| fore him by Deputy United States
| Marshall McElroy. Sheriff Buford waa
1
| who moved to dismiss the writ He
argued that Judge Pritchnrd could not
try the guilt or innocence OF the wo-,
man. as 1t was Il matter for the trial
court Of South Carolina to pass upon.
| Mr.. Carter stated that he did not sue
out the writ to determine the matter
of guilt but to show to the court that
the prosecution OF his client was not
bona iide. but inspired by plan to
get tho woman to South Carolina In
order that by some pretext she could
be put In the seryitude OF man
who was backing the effort to take
her from Asheville
Judge Pritchard stated that as he
wished to go into the peonage mat
ter fully, he would continue the case
until Monday. He added that II 1t
was demonstrated that the real obs
ject of the requIsition proceedings
was to place the woman In peonage,
he would release her.

electric railway line from Biltmore to
Montreal which has been contem-
plated for some time, now seems to
have taken decided shape, and corps
of surveyors are at present engaged
in making preliminary survey of the
route The proposed line Will connect
at Blltmore. with the Asheville trolley
system.
The distance between Biltmore and
Montreal by the proposed new route
will be about eighteen miles. The line
will run along the northern side of
the Swannanoa River for most Of the
distance This Is one of thu prettiest
streams in this section, and from Il
sceantic point Of view the route would
be a beautiful one and no doubt prove
very attractive to summer visitors.
There would also be much local traffic
along the road, the line, running
through a rich farming country will
naturally prove great boon to farm
ers. and those who have country
houses along the Swannanon River. II
Is also anticipated that the new line
will be of great assistance in further

Oh City Debt.
Especial to Tho Times. Dispatch


GREENSBORO. N. c.. March 17.-1n
King made his final report as receiver
for the Greensboro Water Works Com
pany, and was discharged. Mr. King
reported the sum OF $2,3s7 on hand ar
ter having paid all Judgments and
costs against the company, and q
former payment Of thirty eight per
cent dividend to the stockholders
Judge Boyd ordered that the amount
on hand be. distributed pro rata
among the stockholders, which makes
their realization about forty per cent.
Of the $4,000 which the city agreed
to pay for the property five years ago.
This fund was locked up for several
years pending litigation, wherein cit
liens OF Greensboro had sued the COM
pany for damages for failure to have
sufficient flow of water to prevent
the disastrous fire here five years ago,
when the Guiford Hotel and several
other buildings were burned. The
cases were fought to the highest court
OF the United States, the plaintiffs
finally winning the point contended
for. The sixty per cent. of the $4,000
has thus been consumed in paying
these Judgments, the costs. fees, etc,
OF this litigation.
An interesting coincidence with this
winding up of the old water works
company is the report made yesterday
by Messrs. b. II. Merrimon and Il. p.
Wharton, members of the Water and
Light Commission, that the new Reedy
fork extension Of the water works has
been completed and turned over to
the city. The report shows that at a

$4,000 originally paid for the plant)
"the city now owns the best-equipped

half that Of similar systems elsewhere
