CONVICT NEGRO OF MURDER
Jury Finds Mason Guilty After
Deliberating Six Hours.

William Mason the negro who had been
on trial in General Sessions during the last
week for the murder OF Abraham Reeder.
was found guilty early this morning Of
murder i'm the second degree. The jury de-
liberated six hours
Mason killed Reeder in the cellar OF NO
II Second avenue, where the latter was
,anitor. on June s. 1903. by beating him
over the head with a heavy club He took
s33 from Reeder's pocket and escaped DE-
tective John J. Fogarty, who was assigned
TO the case, lost track OF Mason until the
latter part OF last yenr. when he learned
that the negro was serving four year
sentence in the Massachusetts State Prison
for highway robbery.
By an arrangement with the Massachu-
sett. authorities Mason was set free, rear
rested and extradited for trial here on the
indictment for murder in the first degree
which had been reported against him.
Mason was employed by Reeder at the
time of the murder In his own defence he
said that on June s. 1908. he decided to get
work with a circus in Jersey City He said
he knew nothing OF the murder One or
the officers of the court in New BEDFORD
Mass where Mason was convicted OF rob
bery. testified that Mason told him OF hav-

PROTESTS IN BROOKLYN
Some Officers Opposed to Parade
on the Fourth.

Borough President Alfred Z. Steers OF
Brooklyn: II must agree with The tribune
I have found that the officers and privaies
Of the national guard. Of which L am d
member. are unanimously against the pro-
posed parade. The 18th Regiment has just
come back from ten days tour OF duty
at Fort Wright. and others are to so 10
Pine Plains from August 10 to August ~
Brigadier General John G.. Eddy: 1 do
not think that the guardsmen should give
up Independence Day in whole or in part
for a military display"
Colonel Charles o. Davis of the l5th
Regiment: THE guardsm~n expect 10 pa
rade OH Memorial Day, and cheerfuliy do
so. They are also called upon to turn out
occasionally to participate IN other patri-
otic events. They Justly feel, however. that
they are entitled occasionally to a holiday
themselves. But they must remain In town
this year to don uniforms and equipments
for the benefit Of others who would. II
they could. get away from the noise ana
hustle of the city. Not only are they TO De
deprived of possible three days trip, but
they cannot even spend the holiday with
families and friends. because the parade
will consume the entire forenoon and part
of the afternoon"
General Horatio c. King: II heartily in
dorse every word of the editorial. l was
In the national guard myself for several
years. The intense heat on the Fourth
has led organizations TO give UP parades
all over the country. Not only is it bad
for the soldiers in their heavy uniforms
and carrying guns, but 1t is bad for the
spectators. Summer duty will deprive most
of the boys Of their vacations, and it is
not fair to compel them to give up these
three days also. The children would be
better off on excursions or picnics than
on the hot sidewalks watching the pa
rade. Besides, it is not fair to the men
on another score. They Will get no return
for paradng, and will have to pay their
own expenses. II they have a band of
fifty pieces, say, they will have to pay
the musicians upward Of s4O0. and they
won't get that back eopIe seem to think
that soldering is play, but it is getting to
be something more now.
New-York tribune., 1910-06-25
ANOTHER PROTESTANT.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: With reference to the proposed 40
called "old-fashioned Fourth of July cele-
bration' this year, and that part particu-
larly which the members Of the national
guard are expected to take, L wish to re-
cord my protest against this feature
1t seems to me that the splendid record
made by the national guard in this state.
particularly in the years gone by. their
willingness to participate at all times In
all public functions. should be taken into
consideration in asking them again 70
parade on the Fourth of July. especially
in view OF the fact that only quite re-
Gently Memorial Day. they paraded. and
as result 1 have no doubt very many OF
them lost an opportunity of enjoying the
several days holiday with their families,
and it does not seem hardly fair that
now for this coming affair they should be
again asked to forego such an opportunity.
I take 1t that very many of the whole
sale houses banks and exchanges will close
all day Saturday, July 2, not to open until
Tuesday. July 5, thereby allowing those
connected Herewith to enjoy an outing of
four days duration with their families If
they are expected to parade it seems a shame
that they should be deprived of this grand
opportunity. j. SPARKS.
Flatbush, June "A, 1910.
