FEAR OF A LYNCHING The Double Murder Generally Charged to Cocking. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. LA PLATA, Charles County, Mi April 2 Contrary to expectations, Joseph Cock- ing, the alleged murderer of his wife and sister-in-law, at Hill Top, Thursday night, as detailed in Saturday's dispatch, has been permitted to lecve this county with- cut being in charge of an undertaker. The coroner's jury fixed the double crime on him, and this morning he was taken away to Baltimore to be lodged in jail for safe- keeping. There were not many people at the railrcad station this morning to see the alleged murderer depart, nor was there any excitement. It was not until the train Joseph Cocking. had puiled out from the station that the people here fully realized that they had not done what they had considered their duty. It is now conceded that the action of State's Attorney Posey in delaying the ver- dict Friday afternoon fs the only thing that saved Cocking from the hands of an in- furiated mob. The crime had been de- nounced in severest terms, and mahy of the leading citizens annornced in public their readiness to participate In any move Intending to deal out what they considerea Justice. Deteetive’s Work. “AI Gault, one of Baltimore's best de- tectives, reached here Saturday afternoon. He came at the request of the county au- thoritfes, and was soon at work upon the case. From here he went direct to the house of the Cockings at Hill Top and made a careful examination of the prem- ises and the prisoner. Some of the horrible features of the crime had been obliterated, but the Hill Top grocer was there, appar- ently feigning illness, but he had undoubt- edly been given some advice, for his an- swers were such as were czlculated to give the detective very little or no informa- tion. The Baltimore officer found Cocking on a pallet In the parlor of the house where he had spent his time since the old col- ored man “Nick” Johnson found him Fri- day morning. For the first time since the commissio' the crime the prisoner was taken upst to look upon the dead bodieg of h and Miss” Daisy Miller, his sister-in-la It was the detective’s ICea that his con- duct at this time might furn! an Inter- esting chapter in the sad aff that had stirred ths people of lower Maryland, but the plan friled, for Cocking only hung his head, and his face was almost hidden from view untit he recovered from tke shock, if the sight had really shocked him. Faced the Dead. Before starting upstairs to the rooms in which the bedies were, Detective Gault, aeddressirg Cocking, sai f you want to see your wife and sister-in-law get up and dress. Ycu have seen them in life, and now. if you want to see them in death, it is your last chance.” Cocking wes cold hearted enough to be willing t+ remain on the pallet and allow the bodies of those who had been dear to him to be teken from the house to their last resting place without even looking at them. “I'm too weak to dress and walk up- stairs," was his excuse. If that’s all,” said the det comforting way, “I'll assist you. He arcse from his paliet, and in a few minutes the officer was assisting him up the steps to the roomsewhere he was for the last time to look upon the face of his wife and sister-In-law. Entering the door of the roem, in which his wife's body rest- ed the alleged criminal had his eyes fixed on something other than the body. He showed not the slightest desire to look upon the face of the one whom he had taken for his life’s partner about ten years ago. State’s Attorney Posey raised the sheet from the body, but still the prisoner did not move his eyes from some object on the wall in the other end of the room. “Look at that face,” said the detective. “In life you had seen it, and now in death it should be dear to you. Look upon it now and tell us how the blows were inflicted. If the man knew how they had been in- flicted he did not tell, and as his eyes rolled he seemed to fasten them upon a spot on the floor, hardly looking at the wife’s face. Then turning to the body of Miss Miller, the sheet was lifted, and the officer made another ineffectual attempt to arouse some feeling In the man who appeared to have a heart of stone. “What a beautiful face she has,” remarked the detective, “and now, Mr. Cocking, can you tell how this was Inflicted?”” pointing to one of the ugly wounds in her temple. It was thought at this juncture that the Englishman would weaken. His knees trembled, and he reached for a chair, but this apparent physical weakness was all. He sald nothing. From there the prisoner Was taken to the rooms where the mur- ders kad been committed. There were the blood-stained linen, and blood stains about the room. The story of the tragedy was rehearsed by the detective, but if there had ever been any love in the man’s heart for his wife it had apparently departed.

Blood-Stained Clothes. The inquest was finished Saturday after- noen, when the evidence was directed to- ward the killing of Mrs. Cocking. In this investigation the evidence of Detective Gault played un important part. There was offered in evidence a pair of blood- stained trousers, the pair that Cocking Is alleged to have worn at the time the mur- | der was committed. They had been found concealed beneath the pillow on the pallet | where he had rested since the discovery of the crime was made. There were blood stains on the back as well as on the front of the trousers, and it was explained that a missing undergarment of the man's might play an important part in the af- fair. ‘This missing garment, it is thought, indicates that there was somebody in the house the day after the commissicn of the crime who was willing to assist Cocking, and yet it was not explained why the al- leged tell-tale trousers were not taken away. It is true that Cocking had lost some bicod from the left nostril, tle the blood stains were on the other side of the trousers. Then, too, the fury had the bene- fit of the condition of things in the house at the time of the finding of the dead bodies. In the hall or cupola room, where Cocking is supposed to have slept with his | bey, Malcolm, who is only four years old, | there was only one small imprint in the bed. The child, it was alleged, had been taken from his mother’s room and put in the little room. Ready to Go. When all the evidence had been heard and the jury returned a verdict expressing the belief that Cocking was responsible for | the two deaths, he expressed no surprise whatever at the verdict, nor had he any comments to make. Sheriff Wade then in- tormed the man, who had been a prisoner since Friday morning, that he would have to go to jail, and his response was, “I will go anywhere.” He seemed not only willing but anxious to leave Hill Top, and seek a place of safety. Arrangements had been | Trade to drive to Riverside, on the Potomac, a distance of fifteen miles, and take a boat | for Washington, but this the sheriff con- cluded would prove a dangerous experi- ment, and so he decided to have him taken to La Plata under guard and there confined until he could be removed on the train to Baltimore. Several newspaper men were sworn in as deputies to guard the prisoner in the hotel. There an effort was made to Interview him by the detective, who hoped to get some information, possibly a con- fession, but his answers were, “I don't know,” cr “May be 80.” Double Funeral. ‘Yesterday morning shortly after break- fast time two hearses that had done duty in the county for many years reached the Hill Top house. In each ancient vehicle was a coffin, and these were taken in the house and the bodies were placed in them. Cocking had expressed a desire to attend the funeral, but the officers feared that his presence in church or in the cemezery might result in further bloodshed, and so he was not permitted to attend. The funeral had attracted a large number of people from the surrounding country and among them were relatives of both the Geceased persons and the prisoner. Mrs. Miller,’the mother of the dead wo- men, was in the yard which is to the side of the house, and she heard for the first time that her son-in-law had been svus- pected. This was more than she could bear and she became hysterical. She seemed to imagine that her son-in-law had been lynched, and expressed a desire that ail of them die together, This was heard by Cocking, who was still occupying the pallet, and he proBably imagined that there was an infuriated nob after him. But the crowd was orderly and many of them went off to the Durham Episcopal Church at Nanjemoy, where the services were conducted by the Rey. Mr. Turner, assisted by the Rev. Thomas O. Tongue, formerly of Grace Episcopal Church of Washington. The former read the funeral rites of the Episcopal Church, and Dr. Tongue preached the sermon, most of his remarks being directed to those who had apparently favored lynching. He spoke at length upon the uncertainty of life and of the mysterious ways of the Almighty. ‘Then he turned his attention to the condi- tion of affairs in the county, So far as the They are co be read from the“top of the staff ed for the period from 8 p.m! to 8 p.m. the nted by the uppermost flag.

A stop was made at the sheriff's house, and Henry ed) manager of the Port To- baceo Times, was deputized to take care of the prisoner in the hotel. The new paper men from Baltimore were deputized to assist him, as they had to remain until morning to take the train for home. ‘This morning Sheriff Wade reached the hétel be- fore 6 o'clock, and formally turned the pris- cner over to Detective Gault. Cocking was very weak from Joss of sleep and want of fcod, He has taken no nourishment:since his arrest. ‘While he was pale and weak, he did not present the appearance of a man who had been so near death's door as he claimed he had. The scars on his forehead, made, it is thought, by his wife's finger priate | nails during the struggie, were still visible, but the scar over his eye was hardly notice- able. Now that the victims have been buried and the prisoner has been taken to a place of safety, the officers are today making strenuous efforts to obtain additional cvi- dence. Until yesterday there was positive- ly no evidence to show motive on part of the alleged murderer, but now it is thought that his motive was to get rid of her because of their strained relations. ‘Three children had been born to them, and Mrs. Cocking, whose health was not the best, thought the family was as large as she could properly care for. The husband did not share in this belief, and was so an- gered at his wife’s conduct that during a struggle he killed her. Before this strug- gle, it is said, he took the child from the mother's bed and carried himn to the bed in the Httle room where he (Coking) had been In the habit of sleeping.

The Secretary has declared that the platform is more important than the candidate, and this viéw is shared by the administration. Their theory is, how- ever, that having made a sound money platform, the northern delegates will do much to unite the party by placing a southern man upon the platform. The one man who will meet the conditions of sym- pathy with the platform, devotion to the Union cause during the war, and represen- tation of the south, they argue, is John G. Carlise of Kentucky. He will not be an avcwed can@idate in the sense that party workers will be seeking pledges of personal votes for him, but it is believed that the sound moncy men will feel a general dispo- sition to support him, and that many southern delegations will warmly welcome the idea of running a southern man upon the national ticket. The vice presidency in such a case will go to the east, and there will be ample field for choice among such men as Gov. Pattison of Penneylvania, ex- Representative Tracey of New York’ and Gov. Russell of Massachusetts. The friends of these men may be the more ready to sccond the Carlisle movement, be of the logical necessity which Mr. Carlisle's nomination will create for putting upon the ticket with him a man from the northeast. Claims of Administration Supporters. The supporters of the administration 2 girding themselves for the contest to se cure a scund money plank at Chicago. They start with 208 votes practically pled- ed to sound money among the 0 odd dele- gates. These 208 votes come from the fol- lowing sections e' ) 78; New York, vania, (4; New Jersey, 20; Delaware, 6; Maryland, Visconsin, 24, and Minnesota, 18. It remains to add about 160 votes from the doubtful list. The states where these will be principally sought will be Ohio, with 46 votes; Indiana, with 30 votes, Illinois, with 1 entucky, with 26 votes; lowa, with 26 votes, and Louisiana, with 16 votes. ‘The sound money men will make a stubbcrn fight in other and expect to pick up plenty of district delegates in Michigan, Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and the Dakotas, but the fight for the big delegations will chiefly ceater i : named, with their total of 1 Victory for the scund money men in all these states would give them 4) votes, Half a dozen of the Gelegates chosen in Missouri are believed to be gold men, and, w they were in- struct the state convention, they were noc instructed to vote a and they may prefer to respect th al sentiment which made them delegates rather than the mandate of the state con- vention, Several of the delegates from the state of Washington are also sound money men, and several from Georgia are to be so. Under these conditions the s money men believe that the chances are excellent for making a winning tight at Chica Contested Delegations. The fact is keenly appreciated by the | sound mcrey men that the above figures put things in a rese-colored Nght for them. They realize that the joss of one of the | big doubtful delegations would chenge the | eolor of the situation and make their fight j a hard one. There will be, however, con- | { testing delogations from Texas, with thirty votes, and Nebraska with votes The exclusion of I: sets of delegaics from the preliminary zation will re- duce the convention to S70 delegates, of which 436 will constitute a majority. The sound money deiegation from Nebraska would appear to be tled to seats in the ccrventicn to the exclusion of the silver delegation, in view of the big majority they cast last fall. If both contesting dele gations are admitted from Nebraska and Texas, with half a vote each, it wiil give the sound money men 23 votes and would offset the loss of Kentucky or iowa. T reliance of the sound money leaders, how ever, is upon what they regard as the sober second thought of delegates from states which are nominally for silv believe that it will be possible to demon- strate that the party will court defeat | ard cannot raise money enough to carry | on its national headquarters If it deciarcs for an abrupt change in the monetar’ standard of the country. The sound mon men believe that the mére conservative southern delegates when confronted by this situation will admit the folly of de- stroying the party in the east and throw- ing away the 114 votes of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and Mary land for the 17 votes of the mining state: Potency of Carlisle's Name. In this policy of conservatism the name ef Secretary Carlisle is counted a potent | charm. The southern members will be told that there is a way to stir the en- thusiasm of the party in the south, to bring back into the ranks those who have left it because of the domination of eastern interests, and at the same time to attract the votes of the great conservative states of the east, and that that way is the nom- ination of Mr. Carlisle. The Secretary of the Treasury is likely to have votes scattered, all over the south, independent of the influence of the toney question upon the delegates, and it is believed that when the eastern sound money delegations go to these southern delegates and assure them that they are ready to plump the votes of the great northern states for Mr. Carlisle there will be a spontaneous out- burst of good feeling in which the names of all other candidates will be drowned in the acclaim for his nomination. The fact that such an outcome of the conven- tion ts possible will, it is believed, weaken the free silver sentiment from the start. Delegations which might otherwise go to Chicago with their teeth set to make a fight for free silver ana to bolt the con- vention if beaten will, according to this view, lose much of their bitterness of feel- ing when it ®% intimated that a southern man can be nominated by northern votes if he is put upon a platform which will make it possible for him to carry the great sound money staies whose votes have al- Weys proved necessary to elect a demo- cratic President. i ed + Hotel Arrivals.
