Tuesday afternoon upon Mrs. Della
Stevens wife Of Webster Stevens. ten
ant ON the Putnam farm, near this
city, by Hanson Dorsey negro about
q years old. Before accomplishing
his purpose he was frightened away
by screams from the terrified woman.
Two hours later the negro was ar
rested by Sheriff Grimes aear New
Market beating hasty retreat from
the scene Of his crime,
The Stevens family live in small
tenant hotiee half mile beyond the
fair grounds, some distance from tho
nearest neighbor. Shortly after
o'clock, Dorsey entered the house
and steathily crept to her room Sec
ifg her sleeping with her f5-month-

delayed at Sea.

There was a report int this. city to-
day that the steamer Numloiaa of the
Allan Line, which has aboard the con-
test winners of The Evening World
and Evening Journal and several of
their friends-eleyen ladies' in all
who are homeward bound from a trip
to Europe, had become disabled by a
break in her engine off the coast of
Massachusetts and was helplessly
drifting at sea. Naturally this report
created a great deal of anxiety among
the families and friends of the Mar
t!nsburg ladies in question.
A dispatch published in the New
York World of this morning should,
however, allay all fear and anxiety on
that score and shows that the news
current here was much exaggerated.
The dispatch from Glasgow, Scotland,
under date of August 16, states that
the Numidian, which sailed from
there on August A. broke high pres
sure cylinder when 600 miles from
Boston and was proceeding under re-
duced steam. This being the case the
steamer will be delayed a day or two
and may not reach port before Friday
or Saturday.
Mr.. l.. Dew. Gerhardt, whose wife
is one OF the passengers on the MI
indian, received a telegram Tuesday
afternoon from Boston stating that
the steamer was due there Thursday
noon. He Left at once for Boston to
meet his wife, but has doubtless learn
ed before this the cause of the yes
sells delay.
SO, if no worse disaster has befallen
the Numidian than that described she
will soon be sailing Into port and all
will he we'll. This reassuring news
will undoubtedly lift burden from
the minds OF many anxious people in
Martinsburg today.

Coates vile, Pa, Aug. IL - Three
men, accused OF murder in connection
with the burning of lack Walker. col
ored, the murderer of Edgar Rice,
Waterman, Sunday night, we're placed
under arrest.
The prisoners are Joseph Schoheld,
thirty-flve years old. Norman Price
twenty-five years old. and George
Stahl, twenty-five years OF age Price
lives in Thorndale, the others being
from Coatesville.
Immediately after the arrests the
three were handcufel together aud
takea 10 the Chester county prison IN
an automobile.
There was no demonstration what
ever wkeE i: was made known that
the nen had been placed under arrest.
The Town is just as quiet since the
news has been circulated as 1t was
before the arrests. and no trouble L.
anticipated by the state constabulary

thorities that no charge whatever
could be made against BOYD, who was
nothing more than an interested spec.
tator.
Evidence Against Prisoners
According TO a statement made by
District Attorney Gawthrop imme
diately after the arrests. the evidence
that has been secured against the
three men is OF a dangerous charac
ter Schofield, it is alleged, was in the
forefront OF the mob when 1t ascended
the hospital steps at the time OF the
lynching and was up on the porch oil
the hospital. Whether he had any
evidence that Schofeld was further
implicated the district attorney de
clIned to say The evidence against
Price is to the effect that he ran vi
the steps OF the hospital. entered the
door in the forefront Of the crowd and
was In the room when Walker was
torn from the cot.
To this. it is alleged by the county
officials, he has given a full! comics
sion. In this confession, however, he
declares that he did not lay hands or
the colored man.
The evidence against Stahl, the
younger of the trio. is sad to be more
binding than that against the Other
two. 1t is alleged by the prosecuting
officers that Stahl said before the
iynching that it would be an easy mat
ter TO get the acknowledgement OF
the hospital. and that burning him al
the stake would be "cinch." as there
was only one officer on guard at the
hospital. Further than this. II was
announced by the district attorney
that he has evidence to show that
Stahl was one OF the first to enter the
hospital; that he came into the room
in which Walker was found lying on
the cot, and that he had his hands on
the cot and helped to take part of il
out OF the room
During the grilling that was given
him by the officers Stahl displayed
great nerve.
"His nerves are as hard as iron,
said District Attorney Gawthrop. "He
ia the most stubborn boy ever saw"
