Where Insanity Plea Didn't Work.
Raleigh Evening Times.


Now and then a jury refuses to be
dragged out of the path of duty by
the insanity dodge in murder cases.
In Norfolk. last week, young man
who had killed a girl the past sum-
mer. was convicted of murder in the
first degree. The young imp OF the
devil had been engaged to the girl,
but the engagement had been broken.
He met her one night when she was
accompanied by a party OF friends
and asked to speak with her private
lv. After talking with him n few
minutes she turned to walk back to
her friends The man then drew a
pistol and shot her in the back. OF
course the insanity plea was worked
for all it was worth. The murderer,
it was said, had all his life been a
great cigarette smoker. And. OF
course, the old story about being hit
on the head with a brick, or some
thing of that kind. had to be rung in,
but the Jury was not to be moved by
this sort of rot. AS the Ledger-Dis-
patch remarks "the jury rightly de-
cided that the insanity capable OF
such a heinous crime was the insan-
ity which ought to be punished in
proportion to the enormity of the
crime committed

A unique and well-known character
passed from the community in the
death of Augustus Ward, colored,
who, misshapen and helpless from his
birth, yielded up the ghost Monday
morning about 3 O'Clock. There are
few people in the city whose faces
will brighten in recognition of his
name, but there is not one who has
not seen him, driving his faithful
pair of goats to the little wagon in
which be rode. For years on years
this had been his only means of loco
motion, except when he wished to
travel long distances. Then his steeds
were easily made passengers in the
express car, their portable residence
being quickly transformed into n
shipping crate. Then Augustus rode
along with the other folks in the pas
senger car on the train.

An announcement of great interest
to the people of the State and OF all
the territory traversed by the South
ern Railway system in the South
comes from Virginia, where already
300 hands and q number OF cars, eu-
gines and other working material are
engaged in the work. The immense
undertaking, it will be remembered,
was stopped last year, with the
approach of the money stringency,
and, as some OF the politicians claim,
on account of adverse railroad legis-
latiOn.
The Southern, from present indica-
tions, is getting in position again
where it can prosecute this impor-
tant piece of work. and there is every
reason to believe that the elOng-talked-
of double track from Washington
South, to this city, or whatever ter
minus may be selected for this work,
will be carried out without Interrupt
ton lust as soon as the road sees its
way clear to putting on still more
men and securing more material.
A Lynchburg special of recent date
has the following to say of the re-
sumption of double-tracking in Vir-
ginia:
An extra force Of nearly 300 ne
groes and twenty-five camp cars
were brought to Motley's on the
Southern Railway yesterday, and the
men were at once put to work on the
new double track line of the company
between Durmid and Sycamore, a
distance of about thirty miles.
This is taken as further indication
that the freight business of the South
ern is increasing and that the COM
pany desires to have the use OF Its
new tracks as early as possible. 1t Is
reported that the double track Will
be ready for use from the block sta
ton, opposite the cotton mill, to
Sycamore not later than Jan. LIST.
The trains are now passing over
one of the tracks of the new route
between Clarion and Sycamore, thus
eliminating the grade crossing with

dressed to Congress, the President,
Vice President, Speaker. members OF
the Cabinet. and heads of departmental
bureaus, demands "a fair deal" in the
prosecution Of land fraud cases in Colo

as a "high-handed political persceu-
ton"
Numbers of Colorado's best citizens,
he claims. have been prosecuted rather
than prosecuted by the Government

brand innocent men as criminals solely
10 obtain their own political preferment
at Washington. He refers to the in
dictments Quashed by Federal Judge
Lewis against thirty-Odd citizens, and
the rabuke he administered the Cow

He attacks what he terms the daily
encroachment Of the executive against
the legislative and judicial depart
ments OF the Government, and says his
people are ready 10 meet the issue
raised Dy the Administration. but that
the prosecution of land frauds that do
not exist should cease.

Joseph A KaschlKa, former sUpertn-

Mr.. Kaschka is one of the foremost

TO use his watch as a compass when

found that he spoke English and
Italian fuently. / told him u my
