Washington. May 11-(Special )- With reference to his indictment Mir. Hefin tonight said:
 Tt is offensive and irritating to ma of course, to be annoyed by an indict ment for what I did to protect A ladv from the insults and insoIence of an impudent Washington negro, and more especially because the indictment was found by a grand jury composed partly of negroes.
 q wish to say. however. that this indictment, nor any other indictment accompanied by all the indignities that is sought to be inflicted, will ever cow CT and humiliate me to the despicable point where I will permit any negro in Washington or elsewhere to insult a lady in my presence without offer. ing my vigorous protest.
 "All coons look alike to me. and when a Washington negro shows the brute in him, as the negro did on the car that night he deserves to be ham died as I handled this one. I do not in any sense regret what I did to the Washington negro on the street car for his insults and insolence. did what I would like any white man to do should my wife or sister be situ- ated as the young lady was that night. I did what any gentleman should and would have done.
 "I have received more than three let- ters from the good women of Wash ington thanking me for what I have done to protect the lady from the in- dignities offered by the negro on the car and telling me of indignities en. dured on the mixed cars in this city.

car filled largely with negroes and the negroes said They look good to me- and finally one looked at them and said. You look good to me- You know think that those negroes should have been thrown from the car and punished for their insolence. This Is just one of many revolting. outrageous things that white women have to sub init to in this city where the meanest and most impudent negroes in the world live.
 The negro Lundy sent his represent ative to Mfr. Clayton and asked him if would not give him some money to keep down an indictment. and Mir. Clayton told him that would not give one cent, that I did right in the mat ter and was clearly justified in shoot ing him.
 T do not fear the outcome of trial No white man who has the proper ap- preciation of proprieties of such an oc- casion as confronted me. will ever re- turn a dollar fine against me.
 Tt is reported to me that Foraker's friends urged an indictment, They are trying to secure the negro delegates from the District of Columbia. The Republican Party is slowly but surely disgusting everybody with the rotten deception practiced on the negro"

 The most serious results were ins the vicinity of Arnett, where fully thirty are believed to have broken limbs.
