Outeome of the Killing of Foster by Policeman Green—Jury Trial Demanded Today. An alleged “speak easy” in Hillsdale was raided by Police Sergeant Kerby: and Offi- cers Green, Anderson and Reagan of the Anacostia substation yesterday, and strong evidence in the shape of two demijohns of gin and whisky, respectively, captured. For many weeks past the police officials and Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, pastor of the Anacostia Baptist Church, have been firmly convinced that an unlicensed bar was being conducted on the premises of Mrs. Ella Taliaferro on Nichols avenue, but until yes- terday it was impossible to secure enough evidence to justify the swearing out of a warrant for Mrs. Taliaférro’s arrest, and it is probable that no action would have been taken by those who claimed to be cog- nizant of the facts had not Lawyer John A. Mess, Mrs. Taliaferro’s brother, and W. G. Taliaferro, her husband, busied themselves so prominently in the affairs of those who are trying to collect money for the prosecu- tion of Policeman Green for the killing of Reuben Foster. Working Up a Case. Following the events of Monday night and those previous to the indignation meet- ing later in the week, some of those who felt themselves especially annoyed at the actions of Moss and Taliaferro determined that if there was any way to break up Mrs. Taliaferro’s alleged “speak easy” they would try to bring it about. An understanding was reached between Robert L., Waring and Allen Jackson, who have been prominent in the anti-Green movement, and William H. Wilkinson and W. H. Matthews, the two latter being de- pended upon to secure the necessary evi- dence to give such a case standing in court. Business proceeded as usual at the al- leged speak easy during most of yesterday and between 4 and 5 o'clock in the after- noon the mine was ready to be sprung. Then Waring, Jackson, Wilkinson and Matthews repaired to the office of Justice Carroll W. Smith and swore out two war- rants for Mrs, Tallaferro’s arrest, each warrant charging her with keeping an un- licensed bar. ‘The warrant was placed in the hands of Rev. Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson at once repaired to the Anacostia substation, where he found Ser- geant Kerby, and the latter promptly de- tailed Officers Green, Reagan and Ander- son to assist him in making a raid on the suspected premises. The Raid. ‘The officers reached the place without at- tracting any especial attention, and before Mrs. Taliaferro or any of those inside the building were aware of their presence the policemen had complete possession of the whole concern. - Sergeant Kerby then proceeded to search the premises, and in a pit found 106 empty beer bottles, and in another place three large demijohns, one empty, but plenty of gin and whisky, respectively, in the others. The demijohns containing liquor were tak- en to the station house, and subpoenas as witnesses issued for Elmer Howard and Isaac Bean, who were found in the place. A third man escaped, and it is said he has already left the District. Mrs. Taliaferro was taken to the station on a street car, and her brother, John A. Moss, hurried over to the city, where look- ing up Clerk of the Police Court Harper he succeeded in getting that official to release the prisoner on $1,000 bail, with Moss as security. $ In the Police Court today the cases were called and a jury trial demanded. —— HYPNOTISM A DEFENSE. Decision by the Supreme Court of Kansas. The Supreme Court of Kansa$ has ren- dered a decision in which hypnotism is recognized both as a defense and ground for conviction of crime. The case passed upon came up from the Crowley county dis- trict court. May 5 last, Thomas McDonald, without apparent provocation, shot and killed Thos. Patton near his home in Winfield, Kan. He was arrested, charged with murder, and set up a defense that he was under the hypnotic Influence of Anderson Gray, and was neither legally nor morally responsible for the deed. He was acquitted, and then Gray was put under arrest and tried for the murder. He was found guilty of murder im the first degree, notwithstanding the fact that he was not present when the crime was com- mitted, the evidence for the state only going to show that he caused McDonald to do the deed through hypnotic influence. ‘An appeal was taken to the supreme court, and in an opinion rendered on Satur- day the rulings of the lower court were sus- tained. ——___-+e+-____ MR. WILSON’S ARGUMENT. Concluding Argument for the Defense in the Dana Case. Ex-Judge Jere Wilson, in the hearing of the Dana libel case at New York Saturday, after The Star’s report closed, said, in ref- erence to the matter of “constructive pres- ence,” that if there was any offense at all it was an offense that existed at common law, not an offense that was created by any statute. The proof of the constitution, he declared, was the fact that the citizen must be advised by act of Congress that the offense he was committing was a crime against the United States. Mr. Dana, he contended, had not committed any offense against the United States under the law as it exists. Neither the offense nor the place where it had been committed had been defined, and upon these grounds Judge Yilson argued that the application should be dismissed. The hearing was then ad- journed until 2 o’clock today. , ——_—_-+0+-____ GENERAL NEWS NOTES, Privy Councillor Vyshnegradsky died at St. Petersburg Saturday. The British warship Pheasant has been ordered to patrol the Bering sea fishing grounds during the close season. Sixteen men were killed by an explosion in the Kolar gold mines in Bengalore, India, a few days ago. The British flagship Royal Arthur is said to be prepared to land marines in Nicara- gua in case the the indemnity demanded is pot promptly paid. A tornado struck Windsboro’, Texas,- Saturday night, demolishing a church and unroofing several buildings. One child was killed and several persons were injured. The report that the porte had prepared a scheme of Armenian reform was prema- ture, but the government has decided to appoint a high commission of inquiry, with a Turkish president, to discuss reforms for Armenia. Chief of Police Michael Brennan of Chi- cago has resigned, it is supposed, because of a quarrel with the mayor over the vein- statement of a large number of discharged police officers prior to the recent election. L. A. Thurston, Hawalian minister to the United States, sailed Saturday from San Francisco for Honolulu. Charles Heathorn, who sued the Balti- more and Ohio railroad in Cleveland, Ohio, for $100,000 for the loss of both legs and an arm in a collision in Indiana,was award- ed $30,000 by the jury on Saturday. Ten thousand people ‘assembled on Shiloh battle ground, in Tennessee, on Saturday to participate in the exercises attending the marking.of the positions of both armies in the battle thirty-three years ago. It is reported that an attempt was made a few nights ago to blow up a powder magazine at one of the forts in Havana. The insurrection is said to be spreading toward the center of the Island of Cuba. ————_+e+_____ Jabez Balfour in Castody. Jabez 8.

Mrs. Morris, widow of Capt. George U. Morris, who has been visiting in Florida for the past two months, has returned to Washington much improved in health. She expresses herself as being very much dis- tressed at the condition in which she found her residence in West Washington, which adjoins the site of the proposed union de- pot. “It has been much damaged during my absence,” Mrs. Morris declared yesterday, “by reason of the blasting of rock, which has caused the plastering to fall in many places, and large cracks to appear in the walls of my house.” Mrs. Morris further stated that there was a crack between the main and back buildings of such extent that it lets the sunlight in, and that the foundation of the back building has parted, so that it is dangerous to occupy that part of the house. “I regard the rear part of my residence as a wreck,” said Mrs. Morris, “which can only be repaired by rebuilding, provided the foundation does nét entirely give way.

W. S. M. t tive eS ae Arctic Air Clone at Hand. To the Fditor of The Evening Star: In your issue of The Evening Star for March 30 you publish an article from the New York Herald proposing to pipe cold air from the arctic regions. But why from the arctic regions, when we have a polar zone within ten or twelve thousand feet of us? One who has snowballed on the top of San Bernardino in August could hardly look down on the orange groves of Messina, Highlands, Mentone and Redlands, scarcely mone than twenty miles away, without believing that it cannot be long before some way will be devised for utilize ing the difference of temperature between the sea level and an altitude of 12,000 feet. JO SILER. Thirteen Horses Burned. Another terrible fire occurred about four miles from Scottsville, Va., last Friday night, and again the Glendower stock farm was the loser. The stables, barns and out- houses on the place were destroyed, and it was only by untiring exertion that the dwelling house of W. Gordon Merrick was saved. Thirteen thoroughbred hackney horses, seven head of cattle, three large buildings and a considerable lot of hay and other feed were burned. By the first fire, on March 17, Mr. Mer- rick lost twelve thoroughbreds, valued at 39,000. So far as is known, there was no insurance on any of the horses or build- ings. There seems to be no shadow of doubt that both fires were incendiary, but so far no arrests have been made. ——__ +e —__- Killed in Her Arms. Jacksonville, Fla., was astounded a few weeks ago when a prominent citizen com- pelled a barber named Decker to marry his daughter, a pretty young widow, who had been compromised by the fellow. Saturday Decker was fatally shot by Charles M. Kaufman, his partner. Mrs. Decker was present and near her husband and the blood from his death wound spurted all over her. The shooting occurred in a bar- ber shop on Bay street, which was con- ducted by the two men. They were set- tling up the accounts for the day when a quarrel arose. Decker cursed Kaufman and advanced on him in a threatening manner. Kaufman retreated and drew a pistol. Mrs. Decker sprang at Kaufman and seized the pistol. Kaufman wrenched the pistol from the woman and fired just as her husband sprang upon him. The bul- let struck Decker, in the left breast, mak- ing a fatal wound. He bore Kaufman down, however, and when Officer Hitch- cock came in a moment later, he found Decker, Mrs. Decker and Kaufman strug- gling on the floor. Mrs. Decker was so stained by her husband’s blood that the officer thought she had been shot. ——-——+e+. Found Guilty of Murder. After a week’s trial in the county court, the jury in the cas@ of the commonwealth against Benjamin Hite,.a stalwart moun- taineer, charged with''murdering Henry Weeks near Lofton,,Va.j last May, brought in a verdict of guilfy Saturday. The term of imprisonment in, the, state penitentiary is fixed at twelve jyeats. The crime oc- curred in the house;ef 4 Mrs. Philips, and Hite shot Weeks dawn ‘with a Winchester rifle. A feud had existed between the par- ties for some months before. This is the second trial of the se. i The verdict in the first trial, which was set aside by the ap- pellate circuit court;was eighteen years, William Would Interfere. A Berlin dispatch says: The maturing conflict between Norway and Sweden has given rise to strange reports in Berlin. Since Tuesday it has been a common state- ment that, should the two kingdoms re- sort to force, Emperor William would take arms rather than permit the threatened interference of Russia. He is said to have promised King Oscar as much. Although the official circle discredits this report, the mere thought of it has sufficed to fasten general attention upon the swift course of events in the Scandinavian peninsula. GEN. MAHONE’S ASSIGNMENT Tt Seems to Be to Avoid Consequences of a Pending Suit. An Opinion That It Means Mahone’s Political Downfall—His Wash- ington Property. Considerable surprise has been caused in Virginia and Washington by the announce- ment that Gen.Wm. Mahone had made what is regarded as a deed of assignment for the benefit of his creditors to Judge Edmund Waddill, jr., of Richmond, as trustee. The deed bears date March 28th, and has been on record in the clerk’s office in Petersburg since that date, without coming to the knowledge of the public until Saturday. It is understood that the clerk of the court was requested to say nothing about the matter, and he kept silence. The deed conveys to the trustees the residence and property on Market street, Petersburg, occupied by Gen. Mahone, in- cluding all his personal property. viz: household -and kitchen furniture of every description and character—parlor, chamber and dining-room—statuary, mirrors, books, carpets, silverware, crockery, vehicles, cows, etc., etc. The deed also conveys a three-acre lot on Guarantee street. Amounts Secured. The deed is made to secure a certain ne- gotiable note, bearing date August, 1894, of $1,000, drawn by Mrs. Stith Bolling; to se- cure Otelia B. Mahone, daughter of the general, the payment of $8,000 of borrowed money, and a certain note for $1,800, drawn by said Mahone and discounted at the Planters’ National Bank of Richmond; the sum of $2,400, evidenced by a certain note, discounted at the Merchants’ National Bank of Richmond; a certain note for 3550, held by the Merchants’ National Bank of Richmond; a certain note for $800, held by the Petersburg Savings and Insurance Com- pany. To secure to Otelia Mahone, wife of the general, the payment of 366,000, with inter- est from March, 1881, being money belong- ing to said Otelia Mahone used by said Wil- Mam Mahone. The deed further sets forth that if de- fault shall be made in the payment of the debts as they become due, then the trus- tee, on being required to do so, shall sell .the property conveyed. Carrying Washington Property. Judge Waddill, the trustee, when asked by a Richmond Dispatch man what was the meaning of the step, said he assumed it meant that Gen. Mahone wanted to secure ceriain debts he owed, in preference to others he did not consider he owed, and for which he was being sued, or suits were threatened. Judge Waddill said he did not consider that it meant that Mahone was permanently crippled. As he understood the general, the latter, on account of the expense of carrying his unimproved Wash- ington real estate, and owing to entangle- ments growing out of real estate transac- tions entered into during the so-called “boom period,” was like many others, somewhat in need of ready money. Still, his property was very valuable. His real estate in Washington city alone would, if sold at halt its value, Judge Waddill said, realize sufficient to pay every liability against. him, and then leave him in most comfortable circumstances. It is said the probable cause of the as- signment was a euit instituted by Col. J. G. Waits, who was formerly the United Siates marshal ef the western district of Virginia, against Gen. Mahone to secure the settlement of the par:nership accounts between them Col. Watts alleges that in the spring of :SW) he and Maxone entered into a partnership to purchase mineral lands in southwest Virginia,and that Watts had advanced some $40,000, waich he had invested in the purchase of tands in pur- suance of the agreement, but that Mahone had failed and refused to advance the one half of the capital to be Invested as promis- ed by him. The demurrer in the case was argued Friday before Judge McMuilen at Petersburg. Gen. Mahone was represented by George S. Bernard of Petersburg and Judge Wad- dill of Richmond, and Mr. Watts by Rich- ard B. Davis of Petersburg. The court overruled the demurrer. His Political Downfall. A Richmond dispatch to the Baltimore Sun says: If anything is needed to do so, Gen. Mahone’s financial embarrassment com- pletes his downfall as a politician in this state and the south. He had the ambition of leading next year the southern delegates to the republican national convention and. controlling them for his favorite presiden- tial candidate. All this, however, has been changed by the chaotic condition in which Gen. Mahone’s financial matters now are. For years past he has been reputed to be a multi-riillionaire and rejoiced it. This, however, was never justified by the facts. It is hardly probable that Mahone at any time within the past twenty years has been worth over $300,000 or $400,000. After the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad, of which he was president, went into the hands of a receiver he was paid $125,000 salary for five years’ service as the execu- tive officer of that company. This was in 18s0, and the many thousands acquired gave Mahone the capital to embark in his succeeding political adventures in this state. It is said that Mahone probably spent $25,000 or $30,000 out of his 6wn pocket in the gubernatorial campaign in 1889, when he was a candidate in opposi- tion to Gov. McKinney. He certainly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the campaigns from 1880 to 1885, but nearly all of this money was subscribed by the Nor- folk and Western republicans. It is safe to say that Mahone himself contributed comparatively little money for these pur- poses. ‘The great effort Mahone made to lobby through Congress just at the close of the session the bill to purchase the ground owned by him as a site for the government printing office is now explained on the ground that he was desperately in need of funds, (No Lady Need Fear Rain wit one, bee 8 fandelberg English like use they're in cloth inlaid ‘silk lining. » but the $10 Ter dollars a sort_are fine B.
