Is years old. negro. was found gull
ty of having murdered. in her home
near Middletown, Frederick county,
on November is, Mrs. NJ Edith
Hightman, wife Of Arthur T. Hight
man. and was sentenced to be
hanged.
The decision of the judges was an
nounced within two minutes after
the case was submitted to them.
Judge Urner at once pronounced
sentence. Judge Urner character
lied the crime as one of the most
horrible within the recollection OF
the members OF the court and de-
clared hat nothing but the extreme
penalty would satisfy justice.
Throughout the trial, and even
when sentence was pronounced, the
negro was cool and collected and
evinced not the slightest nervous
ness or evidence of unusual concern
Immediately after being sentenced
he was taken in charge by Sherifl
"rElchodheTE Ol rTcucTiCh COUNTY

Robinson admitted in his confess
sion that he made up his mind to
commit the crime when he saw Mr.
Hightman leave for Middletown. He
admitted striking her with the
hstchet, criminally assaultinE her
and setting her clothing on fire. He
declared his reason for attempting
to burn her was to make 1t appear
that she had accidentally set her
self on fire
Robinson was the only witness
placed on the stand by the defense.
He denied all the way through that
he had anything to do with Mrs
Hightman's death, but admitted
signing the confession and making
the other discriminating statements
testified to. He explained that he
made the statement because he had
been led to understand that he
would be lynched II he did not.
After being sentenced, however
Robinson leaned over to Deputy
Sheriff Stanley GingeIl. who was
near him in the court room, and ad-
nitted his guilt. stating that his
testimony was all a lie.
