Negro Who Held Up And Robbed Miss
Litferst.

Birmingham. Feb. 7.-(special)--
The sequel to the sensational holdup
of Miss Irene Litterst at Avenue #
and Twentieth street some time ago
was recorded in the criminal court
Thursday night when a Jury returned
verdict of guilty in the case of
Frank Howard. the negro accused OF
the crime. and said he must suffer
life imprisonment for the deed.
When the holdup occurred there was
much feeling against the negro. who
was run down and caught by mem
bers OF HIS own race. This fact alone
tempered the feeling against the man,
and when the case was taken up in
the criminal court before Judge c. c.
Nesmith quite q crowd gathered in the
court room. Most of tho morning was
taken up with the evidence and in the
Afternoon the case was argued. The
charge was made and the jury re-
turned just before 6ro'Glock, Early in
the evening a verdict was returned
giving the negro life imprisonment.
The indictment charged the negro
with taking purse from Miss
Litterst. together with what money she
had with her. IT Is said that the ne
gro also took some butter and gro
ceries which she had purchased.

Evidenee ConeImded And states Attor.
wey Arxues "a Hmrw

ney Argues to Jury.
Chicago. Feb, IA bitter denuncia-
tion Of the tactics of the defense was
the keynote Of the address OF Assistant
Attorney Day who began the conclud-
Ing arguments in the trial OF Mrs Dora
Mcdonald. charged with killing Web
ster Guerin. an artist, this afternoon.
He made charges Of prejudice,
treachery. perjury and bribery against
the opposing witnesses and counsel and
condemned Inspector John Wheeler OF
the Chicago police force for inactivity
asserting that that official lost inter-
est in the case when he learned that
the prisoner was the wife of his old
friend, Michael c. Mcdonald
He also referred TO John NJ Collins,
former chief Of police and Frank
Comerford. former attorney for the
police department. declaring that they
had taken statements from witnesses
which statements had afterwards been
delivered to attorneys for tha defense
Instead of being turned over to the
States attorneys office.
There was no hint ef the death
penalty in Mr.. Days address. He
asked the jury to find the woman gull
ty of murder. but gave it to be under
stood that a penitentiary sentanee will
satisfy the prosecution.
{, The address occupied the entire
afternoon session and will be resumed
tomorrow.

A MIDNIGHT ATTACK
NIGHT RIDERS AND INDEPENDENT
TOBACCO GROWERS CLASH.
Both Father and son are wounded, ms
WAS Also One Of the Riders.
Barns Burned and Tobacco
Destroyed.

Adams. Tenn. Feb. might riders,
between thirty-hye and fifty strong
well armed and mounted. visited the
farm Of Hugh c. Lawrence and Wash
Tucker. within three miles Of this place
last night destroyed the barns on
both farms. together with zO,ogo pounds
of tobacco, shot and wounded Lawrence
and his son, Bradley Lawrence, and
whipbed a negro named Motiow In
rather an unmerciful manner.
The riders first visited the farm of
Lawrence. He and his son were In
the barn loading tobacco ON wagons.
and card tho night riders coming from
all directions. AS they came out Of the
barn and started toward the house.
and when within ffteen or twenty
yards of the house, they met ten or a
dozen OF the riders and at once opened
fire on them. They returned the FIRE,
wounding Lawrence in the cheek and
in the hand and his son in the leg
None of the wounds, however, are Sc
rious.
! Mr.. Lawrence thinks he wounded one
of the night riders. ana this belief Is
borne out by the fact that q lot Of
blood was found on the middle of the
battlefield this morning. The raiders
retreated at the Lawrence's first fre,
but returned with some ten or fifteen
reinforcements and renewed the attack
with great ferocity, firing some seventy
or eighty shots through the windows
OF his house, where he and his son had
retreated after emptying their weapons.
The Lawrences returned the fire, but
no casualties occurred. Mrs. Law
renee, who was in the house, narrowly
escaped being struck by the flying
bullets. ~
The night riders then went TO the
barn. and after shooting horse. placed
dynamite under two wagon loads Of
tobacco and blew them to pieces. me
barn was. burned together with about
1900 pounds OF tobacco.
z The riders then went to the farm of
Wash Tucker, where they burned hts
barn and about 5000 pounds Of tobacco
without molestation.
They found q negro named Motiow
on this farm and they assaulted and
beat him up in 4 most unmercifui man
nor.
Lawrence and Tusker both belong
to the "Hill Billie" class, haying never
Joined the Association. They report
that the riders came from all direc-
tons, but they could not tell whether
they were all masked or not. Much
excitement prevails in the neighbor-
hood and many farmers visited the
scene of the destruction during the
early hours OF this morning.

TO WORK FOR TAFT
FRANK AITCHCO0Ix TO LEAVE THE
POSTAL SERVICE


Washington, Feb 7.--Announeement
was made today OF the approaching
retirement from the postal service OF
Frank III. Hitchcock. first assistant
postmaster general Mr.. Hitchcock
will assume the active campaign of
Secretary Taft for ths republican nom
ination to the presidency. The exact
date Of the retirement has not been
determined definitely but 1t probably
will be about Feb. Is.
Mr.. Hitchcock will be succeeded as
first assistant postmaster general by
Dr. Charles r. Grandheid. who for
little more than two years has been
chief OF the Bureau over which Mr..
Hitchcock presides Mr.. Grandfeld.
has been actively identified with the
postal service for about twenty years.
Several weeks ago Mr. Hitchcock was
requested by Secretary Taft to UNDER
take the management OF his campaign
vices, not aply because he H. widely
known throughout the country and has
had experiences OF a valuable kind In
campaign work. but because he felt
the necessity of having a man In
charge of the campaign to whom he
could refer questions that were con-
stantly arising and TO which he was
unable to devote the time they seem-
ed to demand. When Secretary Taft
made the prefer Of the management
of his campaign to Mr.. Hitchcock. he
desired that he undertake the work
AS that, in the view Of
JAfr. Hitchcock. would have necessitat-
ed his retirement at once from the
ONCE of first assistant postmaster gem
