TRIAL OF LEWIS
SET FOR JyAt27
Negro Who Murdered Another
in April Granted Continu-
ance of One Month.
INSANITY MAY BE THE PLEA
THE PRISONER STRUCK HIS VIC.
TIM, ALBERT DickEY, BLOW ON
THE HEAD WITH A HEAVY
SHOVEL.
INSANITY MAY BE THE PLEA

Wayne county's first murder trial
since that of John Knapp, who was
sentenced to life Imprisonment in 1905
for the murder of Lennie Geisler, the
Hagerstown marshal, promises to be
that Of William Lewis, colored, charg-
ed with the murder of Albert Dickey
colored, which was yesterday set for
trial June q. The original trial date
was next Tuesday but the defendants s
counsel asked for a continuance.
Lewis has been confined in the coun.
ty Jail since early in April, his arrest
having been made when it was appar-
ent that his victim could not live, af.
ter Dickey had been treated in Reid
Memorial hospital for about a month
The defense for Lewis has not been
positively announced and it is probable
it will not be made known until the
trial is commenced. 1t has been intim-
ated that insanity would be the defense
however.
The murderer has proved to be an
ordinary prisoner in every respect
When he was told that Dickey died
as result of his attack, Lewis acted
in a most hysterical manner. Since
the attack of hysteria has worn off
he has maintained calm composure.
Dickey, it will be remembered was
working in ditch in the north part
of the city early in March when Lewis
seemingly without proyocation crept
up behind and struck him over the
head with a shovel and then proceed
ed to bury his victim. Dickey was
removed to the hospital and later died
from the effects of the injury.

scene where the submarine was given
it's death blow by the paddles of the
packet. Pas de Calais, dared allow
themselves no hope in spite Of the
divers reports Yet the work was
pushed with might and main.
In the long night, 1T was no uncom-
mon sight to see old seadogs weeping
as the sea baffled the rescuers.
AS the day progressed without the
accomplishment of results. this hope
against hope was slowly dimmed: by
noon few could admit that they ye.
had faith. Yet the work went On no
less desperately
Through the night the scene was
guarded by circle of torpedo boat
destroyers. Today this was increas-
ed by the arrival of more torpedo
boats from Dunkirk and dredges and
wrecking machinery from Cherbourg.
The rescue work was put under the
direction of officers expert in the
handling of such tasks.
The crack engineers of the navy
were rushed from Paris
Every fathom of chain in Calais
was utilized by the divers before the
navy equipment reached the spot.
This morning it was declared that,
if attempts to raise the vessel con-
tinued to fail, she would be harnessed
by chains to powerful tugs and war
ships and hauled toward shore.
= So strong was the current about
the ship, that the heavy chains were
waved about like cord. Exhausted,
the divers were hauled to the surface
many times. only to tell of their fail
ure at the moment when success
seemed assured. The surface of the
steel shell offered them little oppor-
tunity for the attachment of chains.
and the links slipped off frequently
when they seemed firmly attached.
The divers were sent down in re-
lays. In that terrible battle beneath
the sea, human energy was exhausted
speedily. Lying in 9 fathoms of wat
er and in one Of the worst spots in
the channel, the Pluvoise offers a
problem that has never before been
presented to rescuers.
The divers today reported that the
eddies about the vessel and the cur
rents ricocheting from the shore had
already begun to bury her with silt
and the problem of raising her was
becoming more serious hourly.
All night throngs lined the shore,
praying. At dawn a fringe of human
ity extended along the coast for miles.
The towns water front and the shore
beyond were crowded with thousands
upon thousands of spectators today
In the tense strain many women be-
came hysterical, some collapsing. Men
made no pretense of hiding their
tears.
As. occasionally, a boat from the
Flotilla put into shore. the sailors
were surrounded. heeping silent to
hide their emotion. the seamen mere
ly shook their heads to the showers
Of queries. Occasionally one would
answer in monosyllables.
There were many priests in the
crowds. About each groups knelt, to
be led in prayer.
In the town, standing upon the farth-
est-extending pier there stood one
slight girl who was the most pathetic
figure in all the thousands. She was
Marie Larnot. In the Pluvoise was
her sweetheart. who left her yester-
day but short time before the SUBJ

flung themselves upon him
Had it not CHANGED that Winthrope
was lying upon his side, with one arm
thrown up, he would have been fatally
wounded by the first slashing bites of
his assailants. The two which sought
to tear him were baf1ed by the thick
folds of Blake's coat, while their lead
er's slash at the victims throat was
barred by the appraised arm With a
savage snap, the beasts jaws closed on
the arm, biting through to the bone At
the same instant the fourth jackal
tore ravenously at one Of the out
stretched legs
With a shrek Of agony, WINTHROP
started up from his torpoF, and struck
out frantically in a fury of pain and
terror. Startled by the violence Of
this unexpected resistance, the jack
ais leaped back-only to spring in
again as the remainder Of the pack
made a rush to forestall them.
Winthrope was staggering to his
feet, when the foremost brute leaped
upon him He fell heavily against
one of the main supports of his BAN

came down with a crash. Two of the

howled with fear as they sought to
free themselves The others. with
brute dread of an unknown danger
drew away. snarling and crashing
their teeth.
Weakened by the first ferocious yeips
of Winthrope's assailants, Miss Leslie
had started up and stared about in the
darkness. On all sides she could see
pairs of fiery eyes and dim forms like
the phantom creatures of nightmare

iuod supply Winthrope had soon
tired Of broth, and showed such an in
stable craving for cocoanut milk
ut the stock on hand had become
ahausted within the week
The day after, Blake took the rope
