OF Easton and assistant county treas
.urer, who testified that Fountain had
visited his Office at 4 o'clock or the
afternoon OF the assault and had con-
verscd with him at least i5 minutes.
This Is regarded as significant mas
much as the crime Is supposed TO have
been committed between 3.i5 and i.t5
p. m. Two other witnesses heard this
afternoon We're Chief Of Police Charles
Stoops. OF Easton. and William Green,
Of Delaware county. Pennsylvania.
Fountain, on lae stand yesterday as
the first witness for the defense, POSI-
lively denied sssauliing the little girl
and said that he had never laid hands
on her.
At one point in his testimony ne be-
came sick and was led from the court
room FOR a few minutes.
Fountain said that on the morning Of
April 4, the time OF the alleged as
sault. his wife left in a carriage; that
he split wood until o'clock that after
noon, when he became anxious about
his wife and started out in search Of
her.

NEGRO ASSAILANTOF.
White GIRL TO Hang.
Maryland Jury Out 9 Min
utes: Sentenced Day
After Recapture
WEEPS In CELL
AFTER SENTENCE

EAST0N. Nd, April 25.-wlthout q
tremor and with a wierd smile playing
about his lips. Isaiah Fountain, color
ed, who so sensationally escaped from
mob and the guards during a dem
onstratiOn IN front Of the Jail on Mon
day night, arose lnvolultarily in the
Easton Court House yesterday after
noon and heard the foreman Of the
Jury that had deliberated but two min
utes, pronounce him guilty OF assault
OF Bertha Simpson, school girl, Of
?rapre.
In tho same manner and devoid OF
feeling, Foutan listened to the sen
tence Of Judges Adkins and Wickes,
that he be hanged by the neck until
dead. on date to be set by the Gov
ernor Of the State.
The jury retired at iJ6 p. NJ. and
filed back into the room at Just 5.O5
p. NJ. The usual preliminaries over.
Fountain heard the verdict OF the
twelve men, ten Of whom are farmers,
eight being fathers. Following the
verdict Judges Adkins and Wickes
held a consultation for ten minutes
and then pronounced the death PEN
atty.
There was no demonstration in the
courtroom when the sentence was
announced. Fountain sank into his
seat and smiled. His attorneys, Eu-
gene ODunne and Colonel J. Mllliken,
Jf EastOn, leaned over and held a
brief consultation with their client,
and Fountains only request was for a
pinch OF snun. His need was quickly
supplied.
Fountain then leaned toward Sergt
Frank Parr and Officer John Cooney
and held a lively conversation with
them regarding the sentence while the
crowd was filing from the courtroom
with many backward glances at the
Negro that has figured in the most
sensational case ever recorded in The
eastern section Of the State.
" Deed, boss" stated the Negro with
a spirit Of resignation, Use as inno-
cent OF this crime as any man in the
courtroom. but l knew that this white
jury would never believe the word Of
a Niger. / don't blame the court and
the jury, and pray to the good God
that he will bless them both. They
are not to blame, and I am sure that
! can make my peace with my Maker"
Fountain studied the faces Of the
jurors as they filed from the grand
jury room in death-like silence as
though to read the words that were
about TO be pronounced. When the
jurymen arose TO deliver their verdict
the Negro arose involuniar ly, folded
h.s arms and faced fha foreman
Before the verdict was announced
Judge Adkins made a brief statement
in which he ocdered that there must

not be a demonstration OF any kind,
"M0st Of you in the courtroom" stated
the Judge. ARE officers Of the court,
duly sworn in as deputy sheriffs, and
/ hereby direct that you will arrest
and bring before The court any who
expresses approval OF disapproval OF
the verd CT The courtroom Is no
place for demonstrations. Therefore,
anyone disregarding this warning will
be Immediately arrested"
The word that Fountain had been
sentenced % death reached the street
quickly and throngs gathered on the
outside Of the iailyard, which was
guarded by a heavy guard OF state
troops and by an additional force OF
policemen from Baltimore.
Neeps in His Cell.
He was almost kept from sight by
the heavy body OF police that sur
rounded him as he was led across the
courtyard TO the jail Many OF the
farmers, however. had mounted points
Of vantage, and photographed the man
as he was being led 10 his cell. When
Fountain reached his cell he showed
for the FIRST time emotion. He threw
himself down on the long. narrow
wooden cot and wept bitterly. Tie
made no sound, however, at the ap-
proach OF any one nearing his cell.
At 9i5 Fountain was again taken
from the Jail, placed In an auto and
started to the boat which left for Bal
timore flefteen minutes later. He will
be taken to the Baltimore city jail for
until the date set for his
execution.
Although no definite announcement
has been made regarding the distri-
button OF the 5000 reward FOR the
arrest OF Fountain after he had es-
caped, there are large numbers Of citi-
zens that are advancing a movement
10 turn the money over to the little
girl.
Tho movement has grown and many
citizens are now urging that
the sum be given 20 the little girl. IL
IS likely. however. that a committee
Will be appointed by the court in sew

Mill Made These Children Bright

The school nurse in Ward county
found that the children in a certain
family were very backward in school.
They just could not keep UP. It was
thought that they would have to be
sent to school for detectives. The
school nurse after examining these
children, their food and home condi-,
tions recommended that the children
be given a liberal supply Of milk. In:
short time these children became
normal and could carry their school
work and keep up with their classes.
Miss Inez Hobart of the North Dakota
Agricultural College who reports this
case states that similar cases are be-
ing found in different counties. She
states that it is often surprising how
the addition of milk to child's diet
will start their growth and brighten
them mentally.
