SANTA CLAUS AT COUNTYHOME
Poor and Afflicted Ones Without Home
and Friends Generously Remem-
bered by Kind Citizens.

1t would have done good to the heart
Of every man and woman who contrib
uted to the Christmas cheer at the
County Home if they could have seen
the gratitude with which their gsner-
Gus gifts were received, and the pleas
ure they gave.
The Guild of Mercy visited the
County Home on Christmas-eve, not
daunted by. the heavy rain storm and
bad roads. 1t is long drive and a
circuitous route, but, despite the bad
weather, it pays to carry cheer to
those old, afflicted poor ones, without
home or friends and dependent upon
the charity of the county taxpayers to
provide for them.
An abundance of little luxuries
were taken to them for, while the
county gives them food and a place
to sleep and clothes to shield them
from exposure, it Goes not provide
the little luxuries which, once a year,
generous Annapolis public gives
them.
There were packages of candy,
nuts, figs, dates, oranges, bananas, ap-
plies, cake, grapes, crackers, pre-
serves, jellies, etc, tor each one of
the inmates, and tobacco both smok-
ing and chewing tobacco, and pipes
for the men, and aprons, handker-
chiefs, little shoulder shawls and
stockings for the women and also
handkerchiefs and stockings for the
men. These were donated especially.
The men who are able to go out
of doors (for many are crippled and
rheumatic) were given warm caps
and gloves. Each man received his
gifts with gratitude that was almost
reverence. There are eleven white
men at the County Home, three Of
whom are inmates of the hospital
there, and one of whom, old Mr..
John Virgins, is in a deplorable
state, physically and mentally.
Z There are two colored women in the
colored apartment and seven colored
men. Some are helpless, a few are
able to be up and about, but many of
the inmates, both white and colored,
should be ininstitutions for the feeble
minded or in hospitals for treatment.
Services were held by the Guild of
Mercy who went to the County Home
Sunday, and those who were able to par
ticipate knelt reverently and recited
the Lords Prayer and the Apostles
Greed.
All packages were equally divided,
the only discrimination being the gifts
to those who are able to go out of
doors, who were given sweaters, caps,
gloves, etc.
1t was a generous Annapolis public
who contributed to the Christmas
cheer at the County Home, and the
grateful thanks of those poor unfor-
tunates who, as a last resort, are
obliged to accept the county's charity.
is extended, through the Guild of
Mercy, to one and all for the Christ
mas cheer and gladness sent them.
For, as much as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these, My
Brethren, We have done it unto Me. >"

According to Johnson, (who was
lynched) he told the following story
when arrested after the crime:
We had been playing pool in Mil
ler's saloon all the evening. With
Frank Schwab, a brother of Freder-
lex, | had shot game shortly before
midnight, when the place closed up.
/ had won and that seemed to make
the other white men in the place mad
at me. Some of them began saying
things about ne, and l told them what
! thought of them, particularly of
Frank Schwab, and told them could
bat any of them at pool.
When started to go home to bed
Reedbird Chase, another colored man,
came along. We got about a couple
of squares from the saloon when
Frank Schwab came up to me. His
brother, and also his brother-in-law,
Thomas Gleeson, were with him. The
man asked me why l had called his
brother names in the saloon, and came
right up to me and hit me with his fist.
That staggered me, and as soon as
got straight again pulled out my re-
volver and shot him. He started to
back away and | fired two more shots
over his head. Then ! saw Schwab fall
on the ground and went on home"
Reedbird Chase and the other men
said they did not see the dead man
strike Johnson. Johnson claimed that
all the other men were turned away
at the time he was struck by Schwab.
but they stated that they would have
seen the blow.
Schwab's brother and brother in
law pursued the two coloretl men for a
while, and upon returning saw that
the shot had resulted in death. They
went to a telephone and called the
police in Brooklyn. Chief Irwin was
afraid that the colored man would
escape and go to Baltimore, and post
ed himself at the Brooklyn end of
Long Bridge. Officers Alexander
Johnson and John Helmer went to the
home of the negro in Fairfield and
found him in bed. With him was
Chase. Both were placed under ar
rest by the officers and they made no
resistance.
A coroner's jury, summoned by Mr..
John W. Marshall, of Brooklyn, rem
dered verdict of death due to shot
fired by King Johnson. The bullet
had penetrated the left breast and
after passing through the heart had
lodged in the tissues surrounding the
spinal column. Justice John E. Potee
held Reedbird Chase as a States wit
ness.
aaThe dead man was about 25 years old
and single. He worked in one of the
factories near Fairfield, and had been
a resident of the town for several
years. The colored man was also single
and % years old. He came to Fair
field several weeks ago from St.
Mary's county.
