DOUBTS POTEE LETTER
States Attorney Green Does Not
Think Justice Potee Has Been
Furnished List Of Mob
Members.
JURY TAKES A RECESS.
After lndicting Tyler the EastpOrt
Murderer the County Inquest Ad-
iOurns 10 Next Tuesday.

Il don't believe that Justice Potee
has received any such letter; if he had
| think he would have given il or the
information contained in it to me,
was the comment made this morning
by States Attorney Nicholas II.
Green, when he was asked If Justice
John Potee had sent him a copy of the
anonymous communication containing
a list of names of persons alleged to
have participated in the lynching Of
King Johnson at Brooklyn on last
Sunday morning.
II don't mean that think Mr.
Potee has not received any letters
dealing with the lynching. However.
| don't think he ha; gotten one giving
him list of names. p" continued Mr..
Green.
The letter was one which Mr.. Potee
received yesterday morning. and
which had been mailed in Baltimore
on Wednesday. Mr.. Potee says he
will pay no attention to it, because
he does not believe in putting any
reliance in anonymous communica-
tions.
The grand jury, which met yes
friday in special session to consider
the case of Albert Tyler, who was
in the afternoon indicted for the mur-
der of his wife and son-in-law, and
a murderous assault on his daughter.
did not get far with the consideration
Of the lynching at Brooklyn. Two
witnesses were examined in the after
noon, after the presentment of Tyler
had been returned to the Court, and
there being no further witnesses for
the States Attorney to send before
them, the members of the jury took
recess until next Tuesday.
States Attorney Green, handicap
ped though he is in his Investigations
will, it is thought, have something
additional to present to the jury when
it reassemhles next week.
When that part of Judge Brashears'
charge to the grand jury yesterday,
which referred to his allegation that
the juries of the county were controll-
ed by corrupt political machine was
shown to the Rev. Kenneth Craig, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church al
Brooklyn, Mr.. Craig said:
Il referred to the coroner's Jury Of
Brooklyn and not to the grand jury Of
Anne Arundel county in the interview
which | gave out Wednesday.
Judge Brashears misunderstood
me. ! had no thought of rejecting in
any way on him or his court or the
grand jury Of this county. In reply
to Judge Brashears' accusation that
am apathetic in my attitude toward
my duties as a citizen ! would say
that, without seeking cheap or any
other kind of notoriety, l have al
ways sought to do my duty as a
| clergyman and citizen and / think
the best citizens Of Brooklyn will
bear me out in this statement.
''In October Rev. DR.. w. W
Davis, chairman of the Lords Day
Alliance, urged me to seek evidence
of violations of the Sabbath laws
in Brooklyn. / replied that this was
the duty of the police and that be-
cause of the extent Of which ! am
known in Brooklyn it would be prac-
tically impossible for me to collect
evidence.

PLEADS MOT GUILTY.
Tyler Accused of Murder Listens
Without a Tremor as Indict-
ments Are Read to Him.
TRIAL WEDNESDAY ONE WEEK.
Case Win Probably be Removed to
Some Other County For Trial
When Hearing Opens Here.

Still maintaining the cool headed
nerve that has characterized him from
the moment he was taken into Gus
today Immediately after committing
his crimes, Albert Tyler, of Eastport,
yesterday afternoon faced without a
quiver, Judge James R. Brashears and
Deputy Clerk William N. Woodward,
in the Circuit Court for Anne Arun-
del county, while the latter read to
him the indictment of the grand jury,
charging him with the deliberate and
wilful murder of his wife, Catherine
Tyler, and his son-in-law, Robert
William j. Robinson, and the murder
Gus assault on his daughter, Vivian
Tyler
The indictments had been prepared
Immediately after the jury took noon
recess following the taking of testi-
mony in the case when the story of
Tyler's visit to the Robinson home
after he had killed his wife was told
by witnesses of the shooting.
Tyler was waiting in the prisoner s
room adjoining the court room, and
Immediately upon the jury's filing in
the papers to Judge Brashears, he
was brought out and placed in the
prisoners dock Messrs. Winson G.
Gott and Robert Moss, who will rep
esent him, were present, as was also
States Attorney N. H. Green.
At command from the Clerk of
the Court, Tyler stood up, and without
a quiver, stared stonily but with
close attention at Mr.. Woodward while
the first long indictment was read to
him.
How say you, are you guilty or not
guilty of the matter of which you
stand indicted" said Mr.. Woodward
when he had read the paper setting
forth how Tyler had chopped his wife
with a Ratchet, and how she had
died later from the effects of these
CHASTITY wounds.
In clear voice that had not a
quiver in it the accused man, staring
straight at the Judge, replied mot
Guilty.
No more emotion was manifested
by the prisoner during the reading of
the indictment charging him with
killing his son-in-law, and in this in
stance and the one of the murderous
assault on his daughter, entered a
clear strong voiced plea of mot
Guilty"
Following the arraignment of the
accused man he stepped out of the
prisoners dock, smiled and bowed
most cordially to States Attorney
Green, who will prosecute the case
againt him, stopped for a moment to
shake hands with one or two residents
of Eastport, who had gone to court to
witness his arraignment,a and returned
to the prisoners room in the custody
of deputy sheriff.
After Tylers' arraignment the
Court, following a consultation with
Mr.. Green and the accused mans law
yers, set next Wednesday week, Janu-
ary 10, as the date for trial.
1t is understood that at that time
the accused mans counsel will under
stood move for change of venue and
remove the case to some other county
for hearing.

THE CHRISTMAS PARTY.
Sunday Schools of St. Anne's Parish
Keep the Feast With a Church
Service and a Festival.

Inc children OF the three Sun
day-schools of st. Anne's Parish,
the parish Sunday-school. the mis-
sion Sunday school and St. Luke's.
Eastport, Sunday-school, assembled
at 3 p. m. in St. Anne's Church
yesterday for service.
After the service of Evening Pray
er and Christmas carols, they adjourn
ed to the City Assembly Rooms, with
their parents and others numbering
over four hundred persons. Here
was great Christmas tree. brilliantly
lighted by electricity at one end Of
the room and at the other a stage.
Characters from the popular children s
books recited and sang and several
appeared from the opera of Pinafore.
Then the superintendent of the par
ish Sunday-school, Commodore Will
lam II. Beehler, u. S. N, made an
address and presented certificates for
work done and a prize. This latter
was nativity group and stable. a
beautiful little German story, only
recently imported. 1t was opened
upon a table for all the school to see,
and was presented to Wallace Ham
brock.
After this, Santa Claus and a troup
of Brownies entered, and sang, recit-
ed and danced and stramped round the
Christmas tree. Then they distributed
little gifts to the pupils of the schools
and to other children of the congre-
cation. Unfortunately candy boxes
were used this year, which opened
and wasted some of the children 5
candy upon the floor and in the street.
For this reason the use of boxes was
given up several years ago and stock
ings used in place of them.
The Assembly Rooms was decorated
with large pieces of white canvas
having the well-known Christmas
notices upon them Emmanuel, F."
Prince Of Peace" etc, formed of
old English letters, and out of red
paper and pasted upon the canvas.
Large signal flags also draped the
walls. The decorations were touch
ed off with California holly. This
latter was a special donation from
Southern California for the occasion.
1t has long leaf like the olive and
peach and great clusters of red ber-
ries at the end of the branch.
The superintendent and teachers
assisting him are to be congratulated
upoE the success of the whole fes-
tival. The carols were well sung
at the church and the party went off
with snap and was altogether delight
full.

A CHRISTMAS CANTATA
Sleepy Santa" Tonight at College
Ave. Baptist Church.
THE PERSONNEL.
A Beautiful Christmas Entertainment
for Bible SchoOl-Rev. T. c.
Bird Minister.

Tonight the Bible School of Col
| lege. Avenue Baptist Church. the Rev.
Thomas c. Bird, minister, will hold
its annual Christmas celebration in
the church rooms, corner College ave-
rue and st. Johns street.
An excellent program has been pre-
pared and the beautiful cantata
"Sleepy Santa" will be presented.
Much care in the preparation of the
program and the entertainment prom
ises to be highly pleasing.
Eight Young friends, four bows and
four girls, after their failure last
year to catch Santa Claus, decide they
will make another attempt. They
will hide in room to the right and
when old Santa comes in to fill the
stockings, they propose to jump out
and surround him.
While they are plotting, Santa S
right hand man suddenly appears and
overhears them, of which fact they
try to dissuade themselves. He re-
veals the plot to Santa's toy factory
girls, and together they inform the
Sand Man and his winkies who throw
plenty of sand in the eyes of the
would-be captors of Santa, making
them sleep late and sound. thus
foiling their scheme for the time
being.
Meantime the Fairies" discern
something wrong in the long. sound
sleep, surmise that the Sandman
has been around, and appeal to Fairy
Bell to urge Jack Frost to come at
top-speed whose presence is the only
hope the Fairies entertain of awak-
ing the plotters who only yesterday
were seen taking Christmas dinners
out to the poor.
One more chance remains to cap-
ture Santa. The plotters are in the
last house on that street, and sur
missing that Santa will be tired by
the time he reaches it he will be
encouraged to rest there awhile if
they turn the clock back an hour.
giving him the impression that he has
time for little sleep before he starts
on his homeward trip. This is his
undoing. He's caught mapping, and
only awakes at the loud report of a
paper-bag blown and burst bv a
mischievous boy.
The plot is successful and Santa
acknowledges himself caught in their
foils. The story is beautifully con-
ceived, and the music bright and me-
lodious. Practically all the Young
people of the Bible School are in
cluded in the cast.
Without implying any invidious dis
tinction,it may be interesting to name
those who support the leading charac-
ters: Santa Claus, Charles Gates:
Jack Frost, Louis Sans; Santa's
Right Hand Man, II. H. Hall: Sand
Man, Bernard Basil; Fairy Bell, Helen
Meekins.
