in-law, with threatening to do bodily
harm.
Mrs. Atkins was represented by Will
liam G.. Jones, and when Warrington
took the stand he asked that the case
be dismissed. The defendants at
torney objected, saying he wanted the
court to pass on the case and see II
the woman had not been justified
Warrington then said that he went
TO his mother-in-law's house, where
his wife was. and while there an argu-
ment between the two started Mrs
Atkins, Warrington said, started to
talk, and as a result some words pass
ed between them, Mrs. Atkins adding
a threat to throw a hatchet through
him." Warrington denied cursing the
woman.
Mrs. Atkins, who is 65 years old
/ then took the stand, and said thai

ACCUSE THREE
OF BURNING
LARGE BARN
COlOred Men Charged With
Destroying Irwin KOIllnGS-
worth Structure
STRANGE DETECTIVE
MAY HAVE DISCLOSURES

James e. Butler, John Gibbs and
Frederick Chambers, all colored, were
arrested by Detective Mccoy and Pa
trolman Bradford early this afternoon
on a charge of burning the barn Of
Irwin j. Hollingsworth. near Prices
Corner. They are at the police sta
ton.
On April 25 of the present year, the
barn on the HollingswOrth farm near
the Ferris Industrial School was
burned to the ground.
One horse, two COWS and two calves
and considerable farming machinery
were consumed in the fire.
There was a loss of between $4,000
and $4,000.
For months past members Of the po-
lice force have been working on clues
and recently Chief of Police Black
placed his evidence in the hands OF
Attorney-General Gray.
Detective Mccoy was then detailed
on the case and worked with the po-
lice.
II was decided to make the arrests
today. Detective Mccoy and officer
Bradford went to Christiana hundred
this morning and arrested the three
colored men, 1t is probable that but
two of the men may be implicated in
| the burning of the barn when the
/ men are arraigned.
II was reported at Greenbank this
afternoon that one of the men under
arrest is a detective and that he has
worked his way into the confidence Of
( the other two.
It IS intimated that the colored de-
tective, one of the three men taken
in custody, may have some starthne
disclosures 10 make. Whether he Is
one of the Pinkertons could not bt
learned.
When the fire occurred in Apri
I last, Mrs. William II. Klair, a siste
of Mr.. Hollingsworth. proved a hero
inc.
She rescued eve horses, seven COW
and three pigs. She was .aloue Wit
her aged mother when the fire brok'
out ..tf--'' ..''.. .
At that time il was thought the fir
was of an incendiary origin
The occupants of the farm were a
loss to assign a cause for such al
act.
On Tuesday, April 10. 1909, at
o'clock i'm the afternoon, barn o.
the same farm was destroyed by fire
The fire at that time was mystery
the same as the second blaze.

SEE STATE FOR
TAFT AGAIN

From presnt Indications the Della
ware delegation to the next Republi-
can National Convention will be in
favor Of the denomination Of President
Taft unless there should come a sud
den change in political sentiment.
Congressman William IL. Heald IN
Saturday said:
Il do not find any pronounced senu-
ment in the State that indicates Presi-
dent Taft will not be satisfactory TO
the majority of Republicans in Della
ware"
This opinion is shared by United
States Senator Harry Richardson. II
is likely that the three representatives
from this State at Washington will
comprise half of the State delegates
and in favor of Taft, although custom
has been TO send an unpledged dele
cation.
