WHITMAN is LIKELY TO
NAME WOMAN DEPUTY

NEW Special.-District At
torney-elect Charles s. Whitman de-
C!ared Thursday that he is stin con-
siderng the advisability Of apl.cint-
ing a woman deputy when he sue
ceeds Jerome on January 1st. If he
does appoint one, she will act as
prosecutor in juvenile cases alone, he
said.
1t was Judge Whitman who first
introduced women probation officers
in the police courts. And they have
wrought a decided change for the
better, especially through their in
huence over girls. 1t is Mr.. Whit
mans opinion that a woman prosecu-
tor in the courts Of General aud Spe-
cial Sessions would inspire confidence
and bridge the chasm of diffidence
that often retards- legal progress, es-
pecially where children are defends
ants. He also believes that with the
power of the District Attorneys Office
back of them in the person of wo-
man prosecutor the women proba-
ton officers would have a wider -scope
and more confidence in their work.
The matter is being considered by
the Children's Society. te~,
There will have to be an extra an
preparation if do appoint a woman.
because she would not be named in
place of any of the present male as
slstants, but as an addition to the
staff, Judge Whitman explained.

ESCAPES BLACK HAND
VENGEANCE BY SUICIDE

NEW YORK.-Special.-T West
chester county authorities learned
Thursday upon investigation that
Thomas 'rdella, who killed himself
Wednesday night in New Rochelle be-
cause, he said before his death, he
feared the vengeance of the Black
Hand, held the key to the mystery
surrounding the murder of Emanuel
Lebarbrie, a Mount Vernon. baker.
seven months ago.
Coroner Beedecker had issued a
summons for Cardella to appear at
an adjourned inquest last Tuesday be-
cause it had been learned he could
possibly reveal the name of the
bakers slayers, but he refused to tes-
tify. Then another order was issued
for him, and after he bad given secret
testimony on Wednesday morning he
appeared greatly worried.
His friends assert he received a
Black Hand letter threatening him
with death, and that on this account
he shot himself through the heart in
the cellar of his home. Cardella told
several of his countrymen in New Ro-
chelle that he knew who killed Le-
Darbr1e, and from that time on he
was Followed, it is said, by several
strangers.
The murder of Lebarbrie was a
Pelham Manor in his bakers wagon
when he was shot from ambush His
pockets were turned inside out and
he was left in q ditch at the roadside
Previous to the murder he had fred
a shotgun at two men who had called
at his store and tried to blackmaii
him.

indirectly is immeasurable. In all our

his name. His friend and erstwhile

II any steeplejaok thinks his trade is
confined to men alone, he should come
here and see Miss Eunice Clist. six
teen years old. Friday, after several
men had returned trembling to the
ground from attempts to climb the
25O-foot smokestack of the factory of
Landers, Frary & Clark, she went to
the top.
There she walked around the edge
Of the chimney. OF course, she didn't
actually climb the stack She made
her journey skyward in bo's'n's
chair, raised by an engine. A crowd
watched the ascent, and when she was
at the top two young men climbed up
by the ladder on the inside. There
are l47 steps in the ladder.
When the girls rather heard she
was at the top of the stack he rushed
from the factory and tried to shout
to her, butswas so scared that he
could not utter sound.

FEARS TRIAL BY

Judge Williams Is Advised He Can
Not Secure An Impartial Trial Ia
West Virginia Court.

ROANOKE, VA Special. Judge
Samuel w. Williams, Attorney Gene
ral-elect OF Virginia, who stands IN
dicted in the court of Mcdowell coun-
ty. w. Va, on the charge OF assault
ing Judge Joseph Saunders with an
ink bottle, the first thing he could Law
hands on after the latter had called
him d. liar, was ia Roanoke sunday
night in conference with his attorneys.
Messrs. Marshall Mccormick and
Judge w. J. Henson. reIative TO the
recent reQuisition issued for the dis
tinguished offender. by Governor
Glasscock, CT West Virginia
Judge Williams did not care to dis
cuss the situation for publication. He
left Roanoke on the O'clock train
Monday, presumably for his home
in WytheviIe. A'i0
warm personal friend OF the iudpe
who came to Roanoke with him
stated that he had Just returned
from visit to West Virginia, and
upon Investigating the matter there
found that partisan feeling against the
Attorney General was very strony. He
stated that he had been informed nv
prominent West Virginianst that II
wouio not be safe for Judge Williams
to go back to Welch at this time
There would not be the slightest show
for a fair and impartial trial of his
case, and il is believed that negroes
would be drawn on the Jury to try
iiihA dS q matter or humiliation. II is
even suggested that he would be in
danger of assassination.
IL IS also alleged that the authorities
are bsing urged to push the prosecu-
tion for ulterior motives, other than
the. mere prosecutions Of the accused
for the assault committed Judge
Saunders.
Saunders Not Bitter.
1t was also learned that Judge Saun-
q fret a
Judge Williams, has relented. and dis
plays no particular personal anxiety
to push the prosecution. 1t is claim
ed that a number of prominent coal
operators are doing all in their power
to have the authorities act, as a mat
ter of revenge, it being understood
that Judge Williams had appeared
against them in several important
cases OF litigation in past years
Judge Williams, IL is understood. is
not aVerse to appearing in Welch to
answer the charges If assured of a fair
and impartial trial, but under the
present condition of affairs It is ex-
tremely doubtful if fair trial OF tae
case could be obtained. and as a con-
sequence, il is thought that &c a true
statement of conditions are placed be-
Tore Governor Swanson and he is con-
vinced that the people of West Vir-
ginia are pushing the prosecution for
motives other than for a fair trial
on the merits of the case he will re
fuse to honor the requisition of Gov
ernor Glasscock, at least for the pres
