ACCUSING WIDOU ARRESTED.

ANTE CITY. La, Nov. 9.-Within
twenty minutes after a jury had brought
in a verdict to-day acquitting l.. VI. Jen-
kins Of the murder of Elias Norwood Mrs
Norwood, widow of the slain man. was
placed under arrest charged with the
crime
Jenkins is a well known young planter.
Mrs. Auze Norwood had been his sweet
heart before her marriage.
Mrs. Norwood previously had been
arrested as an accomplice in the crime.
but was released following her professed
turning of States evidence. At the trial,
which began three days ago, the defence
introduced severll witnesses to prove
conclusively that the young man was in
Natalbany. some miles distant. on the
night of the crime and that he could not
possibly have come here and gone back
in the time that elapsed between his ar
rival in Natalbany and the transaction
OF business in which a number of persons
were concerned and in which Jenkins was
shown not TO have left the room.
Chiyalry toward the woman he for
merly 10 ed is said TO have sealed Jenkins g
lips. and he did not take the stand The
witnesses who established the alibi came
TO court voluntarily and demanded that
they be heard
The woman alleged motive for murder
is jealousy. A strong chain of circum-
stantial evidence was fastened about her
at the time, but when she accused Jen-
kins, saying she was present when he
firod the fatal shot, possible motive in
his case was so plain that her statement
was accepted and she was released
District Attorney McLendon SAYS he is
confident of a conviction in the light of
the new evidence. He also asserts that
he will not call Jenkins as a witness

ANOTHER FIRE TRAP CASE.
Court Orders Arrest OF BroOme Street
sweat Shop Owner.

Assistant Corporation Counse Frank
E. V, Dunn asked for a warrant in the
Tombs court yesterday afternoon for
the arrest Of Henry c. Rath. owner Of
the sweat shop building at 424 Broome
street. which building, Dunn declared
was in worse condition in regard to fire
escapes than any building he had ever
heard OF. He described the condition
to Magistrate Herman and quickly got
his warrant
Dunn told the Magistrate that the
building bore fire escapes only in the
rear. The fire escapes were balcony
fire escapes, which were rendered utterly
useless during the day because of the
large iron shutters kept open for hghI
and air. These fire escapes ran from
the top floor 10 the third, from which
hung swinging iron ladder that ended
directly over sianting glass roof. From
this roof there vas a sheer drop of twenty
seven feet to a stone court yard only
seven feet by five in dimensions, with
an exit that led into another courtyard
sunk twelve feet below % grade. The
last courtyard had one exit leading
into a sIbcellar The Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel said that nearly 200 men
apd girls were employed in this building

HOME FOR WILSON BOON.
Headquarters where Ills Candidacy for
the Presidency Is to BE Pushed.

TRENTON. Nov. 9.-Sxteen members
of the Democratic State committee at a
meeting held this afternoon pledged them
selves to do everything within their power
TO bring about the nomination OF Gov.
Woodrow Wilson as the partv's candidate
for President. II was first decided to
open permanent headquarters in this
State. Senator Johnston Cornish said
that the headquarters should be NO
Cheap John affair. but in keeping with the
dignity of an organization which is behind
the Presidential candidate.
The present headquarters, which were
opened for the campaign just ended, will
be closed next Saturday. nd as soon after
that as possible the permanent head
quarters will be opened. 1t is proposed
TO distribute Wilson propaganda through
ont the country, and large part of the
political correspondence now handled in
the Executive Office at the State House
will be turned over to headquarters.
The committee believes that there should
be place to welcome visitors who come
10 Trenton for the purpose of either
seeing the Governor On political matters
or TO inquire about the progress Of his
ca dmp1lEn. In the lasJ rev months tnere
have been many such callers and they have
come from almost every State in the
Union. The committee felt that it was
proper that the Governor should have a
place other than the Executive chamber
in which to receive callers if he cared to.
II it is within the power Of the com
mittee to bring about such n result Gov.
Wilson will not suffer unduly because Of
the setback given his campaign by the
election returns of last Tuesday, EX-
Speaker Thomas Flynn of Passaic told the
committee men bluntly that the Wilson
cause was suffering from the construction
placed upon the election returns. This.
he said, was based upon the fact hat the
Democrats had lost the House. which they
controlled last year. Acting upon Mr..
Flynn's suggestion committee OF three
was appointed to make an analysis Of the
election returns and prepare a public
statement Of its findings.
Ex-senator Robert s. Hudspeth of
Jersey City a member Of the Democratic
national committee, was selected as
chairman Of the subcommittee. Mr..
Hudspeth will get out his statement as
soon as possible.
Gov. Wilson called at headquarters
after the meeting and took luncheon
with the members Of the committee.
