Franklin D. Roosevelt for the
presidency.
These developments in the ma
tional political situation caused
many of the governors friends
here, 1t is reported, to believe that
unless the Democracy of Mary
land put forward Mr.. Ritchie's
name at this time the failure
might be'interpreted to mean that
the governor did not have the sup
port of his State in any Presiden-
tial aspirations which he might
have.
Calls Move Unfair
Governor Ritchie's views pri-
vately expressed and reflected in
his letter to Senator Tydings are
that it is entirely too early to COM
mence the consideration of Presi-
Dental candidates for 1882, and
that it is unfair at this early date
to call on Maryland Democrats
to commit themselves to any one
candidate.
It is also understood that the
governor felt an Endorsement for
the Presidency at this time would
be more embarrassing than help
full to him, since he has not yet
been reelected, an important fac
tor in any consideration of his
status as Presidential timber.

NEGRO WHO SET
8 AE|RE To BE
EXECUTED
Daughter Of Slain Man, Only
Survivor, Tells of Deaths of
Wounded Father, Sister

WARRENTON, Va, Sept. 18.
Elwood Payne. negro laborer, who
shot Allie Corbin, SIS, prosperous
farmer, and his two daughters,
Estelle and Isabelle, afterward
setting fire to an automobile In
which he pretended to be taking
the victims to a hospital, will
pay the death penalty in the
electric chair Friday morning for
his crime, which was committed
in Fauquier county.
Corbin and Miss Estelle died
of burns and bullet wounds. Miss
Isabelle recovered and was the
principal witness at the trial of
the negro.
QuarreIled First
Payne was employed on the
Corbin farm. A quarrel between
the two proceeded the shooting.
The negro was arrested on the
charge of shooting and clubbing
Corbin and Misses Estelle and
Isabelle Corbin on the night Of
June %.
On the pretext that he would
take the wounded man to hos
pital, Payne succeeded in induc-
ing the wounded girls to get into
the Corbin automobile. Miss
Estelle succeeded in dragging her
father from the blazing car after
the negro had poured gasoline on
it and started fire. Miss Isebelle
Corbin ran to q nearby farm
house and collapsed while telling
what had occurred,
Trial Delayed
Despite the fact that the crime
caused hundreds Of citizens to be-
come enraged and to mutter de-
mands for an immediate trial,
Payne was held in jail until Au'
gust II, when he was place on
trial on the charge of having muir
dered Miss Estelle Corbin, who
died several weeks after her father
succumbed to wounds and burns.
The negro was convicted within a
few hours and sentenced to die
in the electric chair.
Judge j. r. H. Alexander pre-
sided at the trial in Warrenton.
commemorative Attorney G. w.
Carter, of Fauquier, was assisted
by commemorative Attorney John
Galleher, of Loudcun county.
Charles G. Stone and Walter H.
Robertson. of the Warrenton bar,
were designated by the court to
defend the prisoner.
Sheriff w. S. Woolf testified as
to Payne's confession, and later
the negro took the stand and ad-
mitted the crime for which he is
to pay the death penalty.

Coz. Richie Calls Halt
ii On Premature Boom

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 18.-If
the Democratic State Convention,
which opens today at the Mary
land Theater in Baltimore, adopts
resolutions indorsing Gov. Albert
c. Ritchie for the Presidential,
nomination such action will be
contrary to the desire of the
Governor.
Ritchie last night made an
emphatic move to block adoption
of any resolution indorsing him
for the next Presidential candi-
date of his party. In a letter
to Senator Millard e. Tydings,
who is chairman of the conven-
tion, the Governor asked that If
such a resolution would be
adopted the convention refrain
from acting ON it.
1t Is known that the governor
was moved to write this letter
by reports he had received to the
effect that certain of his friends
we're planning to present a reso-
luton indorsing him as candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
Cause of Boom
This movement started after
and was, in fact, inspired by the
action of the Arkansas Demo
cratic State convention in indors-
ing Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
Of that State, for the presidency.
Reports, also have been in circu-
lation that the New York Demo
cratic State convention later III
the month may indorse Gov.

MAN IS Gull T.Y
Of ASSAULT

FAIRFAX, Va, Sept. 18.-Argu.
ments were heard late yesterday
afternoon in the case of Nicholas
Breedon, Washington musician,
charged with criminally asaulting
a Washington girl en- the night of
May 80 following a dance at the
Bull Run dance hall.
All day Tuesday was devoted
to selecting a jury, and when it
finally appeared that the trial
would begin, 1t was discovered
that a Maryland man was on the
Jury and a new juryman had to
be selected, causing another de
lay.
Testimony of Daniel Powell,
leader of the orchestra in which
Breedon played. and two friends,
Earl Lacey and William Thomp-
son. was heard before the open
court, but when the girl took
the stand the courtroom was
cleared and no one was permitted
to enter until after Breedon had
testified in his own behalf.
Commemorative Attorney viii
son M. Farr prosecuted the case
and w. M. Moncure, of Alexan-
dria, appeared as attorney for
Breedon. whose defense was based
upon the girls having given con-
sent. He made no denial of the
assault.
In his address to the jury, Farr
called attention to the fact that
Breedon. with four other prison
ers, had broken out of the county
jail shortly after his arrest and
was rearrested In Prince William
county two days later.
Judge Walter Mccarthy sent
the case to the jury Immediately
following the arguments. After
several hours deliberat;on they re-
turned a verdict of guilty and
fixed the sentence as seven years
in the State penitentiary.
