GRAND JURY BEGINS
INQUIRY OF LYNCHING
Burns Detectives Testify in Case
Against Gleason Brothers.
POLICE ALSO ON THE GRILL.
Liquor Law ViOIators of Fifth District
Have Licenses Vacated for Second
0ffense.

The county grand jury today be-
gan the lynching investigation, the
case wherein John and Thomas Glea-
son, former rsidents of Fairfield this
county, now of Baltimore city, are
charged with completely in the lynch
ing OF the negro King JobnJon at
Brooklyn last Christmas morning.
For the last few months the Glea-
son brothers have been held in con-
finement, pending the assembling of
the grand inquest. They were COM
mitted to jail following a prelimi-
nary inquiry conducted before Police
Justice Dennis Claude, of Annapolis.
The inquiry into this outrage was
the first case taken up by the grand
inquest when il assembled at the
Court House this morning, and before
the noon recess was taken. the inves-
tigation was well under way. That
he inquiry will be thorough, is cer-
tain, as Mr. Nevett Steele the fore
man of the grand jury, promised that
the Investigators would go deeply
into every case that came up for
consid grafton.
First of the witnesses before the
jury today were Jimmie and Pattie
Dunn, detectives of the Burns agency,
largely through whose cunning oper-
ations in the county and in Balti-
more, mass of evidence, alleged to
be sufficient to warrant the conviction
of the GLEASON brothers, and that may
result in bringing others into the
case, was gathered.
The sleuths were questioned at
length by the jurors, but nothing con-
cerning wnat they told was disclosed.
The inquiry was resumed this after
noon, the additional witnesses called
being the members of the Fifth dis
trict police force.
Today the Court resumed the trial
OF the damage suit case brought by
Ida Blumberg against the Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington
railroad. This case, which was re-
moved from the Hartford County
Circuit Court for trial, consumed
the whole of yesterdays session of
Court. The plaintiff claims DANA
ges by reason of injuries sustained
by falling through platform OH the
railroad companies line at a station
in Hartford county.
Two more Of the many cases of
liquor law violations in the upper
section of the county, in which the
grand jury found presentments have
been disposed of, and in each the pen
alty of the Court was severe Henrv
Novak and John Milevski, presented
for selling liquor on Sunday in the
Fifth district, plead guilty and the
Court imposed a fine of 500 and
costs, in addition to vacating the
license of each of the offender. 1t
was the second offense against both
men.

Says Another Man Shot Him.

While in a semiconscious condi-
tion in ward of the Emergency Hos
pital, Arthur Johnson, the young col
ored man who was picked up along
side of the tracks of the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Line, near Dorsey's Station, uncon-
scious, and with a horrible gunshot
wound in the face, yesterday after
noon made a statement in which he
said that he was shot by another
negro.
He did not, however, mention the
name. nor furnish description of his
alleged assailant, except to say that
he was mulatto. Owing to the
mans condition, the county authori-
ties are not inclined to place much
faith ia this admission.
At the hospital this afternoon il
was stated that Johnscn's condition
seems slightly improved. Physicians,
however, still regard his recovery
as very doubtful.

VOTE OF THE STATE
A KEEN SURPRISE
That is as to Extent of Wilson's
Plurality.
GETS OVER FIFTY THOUSAND.
Carried Baltimore City and Nineteen
of the twenty Three Counties
Bull Moose Second.

Surprising everyone by his wonder
full sweep through the counties, Gov
rnor Wilson OF Tuesday carried Mary
land by the unprecedented plurality
of $500 over Colonel Roosevelt,
his highest competitor. Wilson ran
$500 votes ahead of Taft in the
State, but polled l56 fewer votes than
the combined strength of his two
leading opponents.
Colonel Roosevelt proved the second
choice Of Maryland voters, leading
the President by 1862 This lead
was furnished principally by Balti-
more city, where the Bull Moose came
under the wire a winner ever the
elephant to the extent Of 1907. In
the counties President Taft polled
3S, JS2 votes, or Is, 525 more votes
than Colonel Roosevelt. In Balti-
more city Colonel Roosevelt polled
33, 67l votes.
Other counties giving the Colonel
heavier support than they accorded
the President were Allegany, where
his lead over Taft was 1886; Balti-
more county, where he beat Taft by
1872; Washington county, where he
led the President by 600, and Garrett,
the only county in the State he car
ried. He won this by plurality Of
GS over Wilson and led Taft by 4O4.
In the other counties President
Taft's vote exceeded that of Roose-
velt--la largely on the Eastern Shore
and in Southern Maryland, and to
considerably smaller extent i'm Cen
trail and Western Maryland. Fred
erick, which had been regarded as a
probable stronghold for Roosevelt,
gave Taft SO more votes than 1t ac-
corded he Colonel. A rather sur.
prising Roosevelt weakness was shown
in Hartford county, where his forces
were led by Stevenson A. Williams,
Republican candidate for Governor
in 1903, and by Clerk of the Court
John A. Robinson There Taft's vote
topped that of Roosevelt by $40.
The State vote was virtually that of
four years ago, and fell considerably
below that of 1900.
The counties surpassed themselves
in their support of Wilson They
gave him 63,S46 votes, as compared
with 3S, 0S2 for Taft and 24,557 for
Roosevelt outside of Baltimore city.
Baltimore county proved the banner
Wilson county, giving the Democratic
candidate a plurality of 5,2S5 over
Roosevelt aid a majority of 2,255
over Roosevelt and Taft
Governor Goljsborough and Ma
tional Committeeman w. p. jackson
held their counties for Taft as
against Roosevelt, but both lost to
Wilson. In Dorchester, the Cover
nor's home, Taft ran 2,O11 ahead of
Roosevelt, and in Wicomico county,
the home of Mr.. Jackson, his vote
was 1887 greater than that of the
Colonel's.

West and Cathedral streets, Parker,
without any warning or asking that
the car be stopped, deliberately jump

Parker's head struck violently
against the brick pavement. He was
picked up and hurried to the Emer-

tion disclosed that the fall produced
