Testimony in Richmond Court Shows
Mordecal Taylor to be Crazy and
He Goes to Asylum.

RICHMOND VA, Jan. 13.-In the
Husting Court this morning Louis
Wendenburg proved. beyond all
semblance Of doubt, that Mordecal
Taylor, who cut the throat of his
wife, Annie Taylor. on Judy 5, last
year, was a hopeless. helpless maniac.
AS a consequence Taylor, sometime
today, will be sent to the Williams
burg asylum.
DR.. Gordon, the jail physician, gave
the conclusive testimony in the case
He said. in effect that Taylor was
crazy, and his evidence was in line
with that of other witnesses.
In all its aspects the case is one oil
the most horrifying that ever went
before jury. Taylor is a picture
that mingles a claim to sympathy with
ferocity

MARYLAND DEMocRATo ABOUT
TO MAKE A MISTAKE.

III MAINE - WHO NNC.
MARYLAND Democratic leaders. ac-
oording to press dispatches from An
$ napolis. are preparing to have SUD
mitted 10 the voters of that State
constitutional amendment disfranchis-
ing the negro on the definite ground
OF race. That is to say, instead OF
adopting the circuitous and cautious,
though very effe ctive, methods EN-
ployed elsewhere In the South 10 in
sure absolute white control of gov
eminent. the Marylanders propose TO
defy the fifteenth amendment TO the
constitution of the United States by
depriving the negro of the right TO
vote for the simple reason that he
Is q negro. In order to do this, or
course It would be necessary to test
Z the validity of the fifteenth amend
ment of the constitution OF the United
: States in the United States Supreme
Court. Distinguished lawyers OF
Maryland, among them Governor
Crcthers, are firm in the belief that
this amendment is not valid. as far
as Maryland Is concerned. at least,
and Il is upon their assurances that the
Democratic leaders propose 10 begin a
contest which, If successful, would
give their State a unique position
among its sisters and settle forever
the race question in Maryland.
Governor Crothers contention IS
that no state in the. Union, even by
an amendment TO the federal consti-
tuition. can be deprived OF the power
10 determine who shall have the right
10 vote in its state elections. In a
recent message to the legislature the
governor called attentjRn to the fact
that the United States Supreme Court
never has passed upon this question.
and he believes that the fifteenth
amendment does deprive the States
Of the power referred to. Upon this
belief he bases the contention that
the fifteenth amendment, which never
was ratified by .he Maryland legisla-
ture. is invalid and of no force in
shat State.
II will be interesting 10 watch the
development and await the outcome
of this movement; Il Il ever is actual
" launched. A decision by the Su-
preme Court that the fifteenth amend
ment is invalid as far as Maryland
Is concerned. would be a step toward
questioning the validity Of the amend
meni BY other States. Many people
IN other parts Of the country as well
as in the Sorfh do not believe that
this amendment ever was properly
ratified. And a decision in favor Of
the Maryland proposition nigh; open
the way for q revival Of widespread
DISCUSSION along that line.
But. however interesting u may b

tauce. this paper is convinced that
