 DescriptaOu.

Pensacola, Fla. March 1s-tSpecial' Sheriff James c. Van Pelt who ias' night arrested a negro bearing every mark and description of the one who ia said to have assaulted Miss Ruby Penton at Chumuckia in Santa Rosa County last Wednesday. a week ago and this morning gave the negro his liberty. as
 This was done upon statement oi sherNf Collins of the adjoining county that he did not believe in the report of the assault and that he had investi- gated 1t when the report was first Tn circulation. :. The local sheriff made the arrest upon~s a description furnished by the father of the girl, who offered re- ward of S200 for the apprehension of the man, but inasmuch as the crime was committed in the adjoining coun' ty he could do nothing In the premises but give the man his liberty.
 The negro who was arrested denied his guilt, but could furnish no satis- factory explanation of his whereabouts on the day of the crime or the day fol- lowing.
 It is claimed that a negro bearing the same description passed Molino and McDavtd the day after the crime com ing towards Pensacola.
 Owing to the remoteness of Gnu muckIa no explanation could he had today of the act of the sheriff of the county in declining to accept the prisoner.

the eventfui February night: that he was lacking in affection for his wife; that there was full glow of the lamp on the thinly.olad figure. and that IL was malice aforethoueht and desire to rid his home of his wife that prompted Alfrsd Aien to shoot her.
 wftnesses. N 10 seid. may, testify that on the night of the shooting neish- bors heard the disehargs of firearms. awakening them from their first sium- bers. Allen may claim that his hear- ing the shots made she fabric of . frightful dream. . phantasy in which his homo was being attacked. The ter TOTS of that vision raissd Allen from his bed, led him to his gun and when still dreaming of the -marauders. he turned toward the door of the foom' the figure of his wife caught his eye he fred at her.
 Not until after the explosion of the gun, Allen may contend that he kney anything of the cause of her mortal wound.
 States counsel look for the produc. tion of a dying statement, attributed to the deceased woman. This IS salo to exonerate the husband. or to tend that way. It may be attacked by State wItnesses. though there was a chance for such a deposition, as the wounded woman lived several hours after tho shooting.
 The age of Allen seems to be but few years beyond 90. Two children. ont of only months. and the other o' about years, survive the young wife

THIEVES MAKE HAUL
Negro Porter Gets Purse of e17S from
 Employex's Daughter.


 prattyilie, March 1s.-(speoial)-- s,iaa Coodson and his mothcr. Bertha Goodson. negroes, were lodged in the county fail last night, charged with grand larceny. The arrest of these two led to the arrest of some six or eight others who appear to be impli' cated in the theft.
 The first named negro was employed at the furniture store of G. c: spig- ener as porter, and yesterday stole the purse of Miss Ruby Spigener, who was in charge of the business for her Ia ther, who was out of the city.
 The purse contained $176, and up to this morning $e5 of 1t had been re- covered from. those arrested. The ar rest of the first man was caused from a negro offering to pay long stand | ing drug account at a local store with | a $1O gold piece.
 He said he had received the money from Silas Goodson. The marshal ar- rested this one and .silas Goodson. who confessed to the crime, and gave at once information that led to the arrest of the others.
 A special or called term of the GIT | cult Court of this county will be m session here next Monday and VII likely run for two weeks. The civi | and criminal docket are as heavy al usual, but not very many importan cases will be heard at this term.
 This Is the time regularly appointed bv the law as found In the Code o | 1907. but there is some question as tS l whether that Is the law or the loca law known as the Pony Circuit act.

 It Is argued in Bogota that the agree ment can be ratified only by a na- tional congress legally elected on a popular vote and not by the present iegislative assembly. the members of which were all selected and appointed by President Reyes.
