Arrested, Tried and Sentenced For
Crime Within Twenty
Four Hours.
CELEBRATED

Roanoke, Va, Feb. 20.-Aurelius
Christian, the negro who criminally
assaulted and then murdered Miss
Mary Dobbs, the pretty 14-year-old
daughter of a prominent Botecourt
county farmer, was sentenced to die
in the electric chair in the state pen
itentiary on March %.
Christian was taken from Clifton
Forge to Fincastle and tried at spe-
cial sitting of the court by Circuit
Judge Anderson, who accompanied
the negro and officers to Fincastle.
The negro was indicted by the grand
jury, and Judge Anderson appointed
three lawyers to defend him
At a conference between the law
yers and the prisoner Christian made
a confession, which he later repeated
in court to Judge Anderson. The
court heard three witnesses, who es-
tablished the time and place of the
crime. No jury was summoned. The
Judge accepted Christians confession
and imposed the death sentence
The negro said he was hiding In
the woods when Miss Dobbs passed
by on her way to a store. He seized
her and after assaulting her cut her
throat and stabbed her three times
"to keep her from telling" Christian
showed no signs of fright.
The sentence came within "a hours
after the crime was committed, and
Christian was sent to Fincastle Jail
The Jail is being guarded to prevent
any attempt TO lynch the negro. A
mob gathered near Clifton Forge, but
agreed not to attempt to lynch Chris
tian while he "was at that place."

FAMOUS DRIVERS

Crescent City Big Auto Meet Begins
Saturday and Continues
Three Days.

New Orleans, Feb 20.-For three
days, beginning today, the New Or
leans man. his sisters and his cous-
tns and his aunts" and the numerous
strangers assembled within his gates
to witness the Mardi Gras will be
speed mad" The automobile races. in
tended at first to be merely an Incl
dent OF the Mardi Gras season, are
now the first topic in public interest
even among the least sportily inclined
of the city's people.
The promoters of the motor races
declare that the speed carnival is the
greatest in the history of the United
Estates. Uncertainty deserves the palm
In one respect, if in no other-that is,
In the number of famous automobile
racers gathered here to compete in
the speed and endurance events. The
roll call sounds like list of the en-
trants in the famous automobile races
of the past. Among the men who will
hold the wheels in the flights over the
splendid newtrack at the fair grounds
are Strang, Robertson, De Palma,
Mongini, Burman, Schoeneck and 9TH
ers who have won fame for daredevel
work on the courses of Europe ana
America.
One of the most interesting features
of the races will be the speed contest
for women, in which Mrs. Joan New
ton Cuneo and Miss Alice Porter, two
of the best known of Americas wom-
en- autoists, are entered. 1t is the first
time that women have entered in q
speed contest on a circular track, and
the race will probably be one of the
most popular events on the program.
Fred ]. Wagner will start the races
and will act as referee. He acted as
starter for the Vanderbilt cup race
and the Grand Prize race at Savan-
nah, and Is well known among racing
enthusiasts.
Speaking of the races, Homer
George, secretary of the New Orleans
Automobile club, the organization in
charge of the contests, said:
w A-N'C SOb 1O6CbACA Absolutely
the greatest field of drivers ever cor
rallied for track meet. Besides, we
are bringing the two wonderful wom-
en- drivers of the world together,
something that has never before been
done on circular track. The trade
journals have run editorials protest
ing against allowing women to take
such chances on track with the high
speed cars they are to use.
"The officers Of the New Orleans
Automobile club do not wish to ap-
spear boastful, but President Campbell
has made 1t possible to present the
positively greatest automobile carni-
val ever pulled OF. Our meet will
awaken the whole automobile sport
and trade"

 APOLOGY

England's great poet Tennyson wao a somewhat gruff and formidable man, whose manner with curious strangers was b. no means gentle and pleasant.
 Once a young woman who bad been just introduced to the great man at Freshwater was left alone with him on the seashore. She stood in immense awe of the poet and therefore did not interrupt him as be sat speeches., gazing straight ahead of him at the sea.
 The long silence was broken Ot last in an astonishing manner by Tenny- son. He was going to open his lips and utter some lovely thought, the young woman imagined. Instead be opened them and in gru6 and gloomy tones gave voice to this remark:
 "You creali."
 The girl started back In horror.
 Tennyson added an explanation:
 "You creak. Your stQyB creak."
 This so startled tSe young woman tb9t she ran away and went indoors, where a large company, she found was gathered together over tea. Tn little time Tonnyson appeared, a vague expression on his countGnauce, as though something had gono wrong with him. The girl, now accounting him possibly mad and certainly impO- lite. tried hard to hide away from him.
 In vain. His eagle eye found her out. He threaded his way among tho other guests toward her, took her hand and said in resonant tones-bet0Te thg whole company of them:
 "My dear, beg your pardon. and it was my braces"
