SLAYER OF LITTLE BOY TO HANG

Washington, May 15.-Sentenced to
be executed in the district Jail tomor-
row for one of the cruelest murders
in the criminal annals of Washington,
Tony Milano's only hope of escaping
the gallows lies in the remote possibil-
fly that President Wilson may grant
an eleventh-hour stay Milano, an
Italian shoemaker with little shop at
4th and H streets, was convicted on
charge of having killed twelve-year-
old Harry Smith with blows Of ham
mer the night of September 8, 1911.
1t was alleged the boy went to the
shoe shop to get change and that MI
lano, who had been annoyed by other
boys, thought the boys stammering
was a method of making fun of him.
Early on the morning following the
alleged murder Milano set fire to his
shop, 1t was contended for the purpose
of destroying evidence of his crime.
A sister of his victim, driven frantic
by the death of her brother, later took
her life.

MRS. GREEN, WIDOW OF
VICTIM, FIRST WITNESS
Says Her Husband Was Nervous On
Morning He Was injured And That
She Herself Was Apprehensive Of
TrC ube.

A Jury for the trial OF b. f. Max
wall charged with the murder Of J. G..
Green, was obtained at 9:I5 this morn
ing and the taking OF testimony was
at once begun.
The jury selected is as follows: Wal
ter Sampson, f. H. Howarth, B. h. OFT,
J. T Dalier, Barney Bond, r. w.
Knight, L. D. McMichael, w. D. Gran
than, M. Geiger A. NJ. Conn, w. A.
Ffllingame and w. NJ. Maddocks.
After Mrs. Green, introduced as it's
first witness by the state, had given
her direct testimony, an order of the
court was spread on the minutes and
signed by the Judge authorizing the
Court and jury to view the scene of
the homicide. This was done by all
the court officials, the attorneys on
both sides, selected witnesses for both
sides the defendant and the jury.
In her direct examination Mrs.
Green gave substantially the same
testimony she had previously given.
She explained that while Mr.. Green
had the habit of leaving home at 7
o'clock on work days, it was nearly
o'clock when he left the house the
morning following the shooting OF
Maxwells mule. When asked why
this delay she said that he was ner-
vous and took occasion that morning
to fix his fence before starting down
town. Mrs. Green said she herself was
apprehensive of trouble when Mr.
Green left the house, and she watched
him from a window as he went away
and thus became a witness to the
scene when Mr.. Maxwell picked up the
shovel handle lying at his feet and
struck the blow which caused her hus
hands death.
1t was 1890 p. m. before the exam
lnation of the scene of the homicide
was concluded. and an adjournment
for lunch was taken.
While on the ground where the diff
fully between Maxwell and Green &C
urred, Mrs. Green was further ex
amined and cross examined as tC
where she was before and after the
tragedy. Two Mrs. Massengales ant
Albert Parso~s summoned for the state
were examined on the ground as wa:
R. P. Wilder and the defendant
himself, each giving testimony as tC
where he or she was at the time, ant
just what each saw and heard on the
occasion of the homicide.
The case was resumed in the cour
room at 2 o'clock and the state is nov
introducing testimony.
The interest in the trial is evidenced
by a constantly increasing crowd il
the court room, among whom are {
number of women and children.

SOLDIER DIES

Last night at ten o'clock, the SOL
der Griffin who was wounded by
the native woman called Carrie in a
general drunken spree, died at Fort
Davis of blood poisoning. The man
was accidently shot by Carrie who
pointed a shot gun at his leg. The
shot literally mashed the leg bones
to a pulp, and although the leg was
amputated, blood poisoning had set
in, and the man already weakened
by the loss of blood and shock was
a hopeless case from the first. He
fingered much longer than the doc
tors attending him had expected,
showing that he possessed great con-
stitutional vitality. The native girl
will be tried today, and it is likely
that the charge at present preferred
against her may since the death of
Griffin be changed to a more seri-
Gus one.
