FIRED THE MATTHEWS Mrs. Irwin Held as Accessory to the Crime. THE TESTIMONY GIVEN ————— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LA PLATA, Charles county, Md., August 8.—The first act of a judicial nature in the Irwin murder case at Allen’s Fresh ended yesterday afternoon, when the jury brought in a verdict holding Gcorge Matthews, the oysterman, and former partner of the de- ceased, as the man who fired the fatal shot, and Emma Irwin, the dead man’s widow, as an accessory. The witness, George Stein, who was on the etand yester- day, could not possibly have been mistaken as to the ddentity of the man whom he saw returning home in the boat at 3:30 a.m. Monday. When his wife first called lim he looked out the window, and knew that Matthews was not going crabbing, for he was homeward bound, and had no barrels in his boat. He was sculling at a Hvely rate, as if he were in a hurry to make the States Attorney Posey. shore. When he did come out on the crab- bing grounds later witness said nothing about having seen him returning home so early in the morning. This testimony was taken in the Irwin house, tn the room from which the funeral took ‘place Tuesday morning. Matthews, who was not permitted to listen to the evi- dence, occupied a seat in the upper room, the rcom in whioh the tragedy occurred, and where there were still evidences of the awful affair visible. Testimony ax to the Gun. ‘When the witness had been croas-examin- ed at length by the jurors and State’s At- torney Posey Juror Robertson, who got the gun from the prisoner's house, described the condition of the weapon, and told how it had been loaded. The right barrel had been recently fired and reloaded, but the charge dn it was a emall one. Scraps of a newspaper had been used for wadding. Alton Hayden, who was half owner of a boat with the prisoner, when questioned, sald he remained at the prisoner's house Friday, and Sunday he took the boat and went to Stoddard’s bar. The prisoner had no reason for coming up there to meet him. He had never done so before, nor had witness ever known him to go out rowing for pleasure. Witness knew that Matthews traded hés gun for a bicycle several months ago, and said he had borrowed Charles Goode’s gun. Charles Goode fdentified the gun as his property, and said he loaned it to the pris- oner, who said he wanted to protect his property, as he had no gun of his own. Constable Joe Howard told of his visit to the house and of the recovery of the wet clothing. S State’s Attorney Posey then produced the gur wad found on the pillow of the dead man. The large type gave it the appear- Foreman Wills. ance of a piece of the populist paper al- ready referred to. He also exhibited the piece of paper taken from the prisoner's pocket, as well as the piece found in Mat~ thews' shanty, and the jurors were satisfied that al? the pieces were from the same paper. “We also have a lot more love letters. here,” remarked the state’s attorney. “We already have enough of them,” was the remark of Juror Simpson. “What we want to know now is who pulled the trig- ger.” The Prisoner Sworn. There was a delay of a few minutes and then the prisoner, still handcuffed, came down stairs and was again sworn. “You understand,” said the state’s at- torney, ‘that you are not compelled to tes- tify. You may do so or not, just as you choose.” “Either way suits me,” the prisoner said, ut I’m willing to tell all I know.” “Did you tell the truth the other day?” yes, sir; I did.” “You said the other day that the paper you used for a gun wad in loading the gun was greasy paper that had come around a ham. Was that the truth?” “I know I told you so,” was his answer, “but I had told you before that that I wasn’t certain, and I was so tired out, and you pressed me so hard that when you asked me about the greasy paper I said ye “Then it suey have been a piece of the populist paper?” “Yes, sir; it might have been a piece of that paper.” The garments taken from the house of the prisoner the day after his arrest were produced and Matthews admitted they were his. The trousers he wore on Sunday, while the coat he had carried with him. He had wet the trousers when he walked out In the water to get his boat Monday morning. The evidence given at the former session of the jury conrerning the borrow- ing of the gun was repsated. He borrowed it for protection, he sajd, but did not load it until the following day. “If you got the gun for your own pro- tection how is it that you did not load tt that evening?” “Oh, I wasn’t afraid anybody would in- jure me that night.” Denied Criminal Intimacy. Further questioned by the state's attor- ney, the priscner repeated what he had sald concerning his relations with Mrs. Ir- win. He had corresponded with the wo- man, but had not been on criminal intimacy with her. Mrs. Hattie Barnes had told of the meet- ing bach ar cathe pee ew. om ne prisoner on fer sister was ing her to her home, near. Harris Lot, and when near the Plainfield farm they met.

Mrs. Irwin got out of the t-ug- gy and went a little distance in the woods with Matthews, and there they talked a little while. What they said she did not hear. eorge Matthews never talked before she said. “He hated me because I had him arrested some time ago for what he did to me.” “Then, if they talked about the murder, you did not hear it?” “I didn’t hear anything they said, for I was too far away.’ The prisoner, who had not been told of the woman's admissions, again denounced as false the accusation of criminal inti- macy. “Look at this letter, Matthews,” said Mr. Posey, holding oae of the numerous letters found in the prisoner's house, “and tell me in whose handwriting it is:” “Mrs. Irwin's, I believe.” “Don't you know?” “Yes, sir, it's in her handwriting.” The state's attorney then read the letter, beginning “My Darling George.” In this letter she told of the illness of the boy George, about whom the prison had been referred to as “papa.” She was very anx- jous to see the Cobb-Neck cysterman and asked for change with which to buy the baby some necessaries of life. One after another the letters were exhibited und read, and Matthews admitted the handwriting of each. Her husband: was. referred to as “Old Crazy” in some of them, while George was ‘Sugar Baby” and “Darling.” A searching examination of the prisoner was made with reference to the gun, the shot in the house and thé populist paper, as well as to the letters, and the witness Hayden was closely questionsd as to the route a boatman would probably follow in going from Rock Point, the home of Matthews, to Allen’s Fresh, the scene of the murder, and he insisted that the boat- man would remain on the Charles county side of the Wieomico and would not go across to Chaptico, where the prisoner was located Sunday about sundown. Witness told the jury that the trip in a rowboat between the two points would take about three and a half hours, and the State’s attorney remarked that that was about the time that elapsed between the time of the murder and the return of Geo. Matthews to his shanty at Rock Point. Mra. Irwin’s Admissions. Mrs. Irwin’s admissions of criminal inti- macy were then related to the jury by the state's attorney. At the conclusion of his interview with her in the morning, he said, she cried, Lut did not become hysterical, although she apparently made an effort in that direction, and sald her husband was taken away without her being given an opportunity to see him. “But,” said Mr. Posey, ‘that is not true, for I asked her If she wanted to attend the funeral, and she made me no answer.” ‘The yard about the house had been clear- ed of the crowd of people, who were anx- ious to see the prisoner and witnesses, and these people remained ‘at the village store and beneath shady trees until the verdict had been zendered. It had been rumored that the jury would not hold the woman, and this was very displeasing to the residents of Allen’s Fresh, but they were perfectly satisfied when thy heard the verdict, and gave the assurance that so far as they were con- cerned they were going to allow the iaw to take its course. Matthews Again in Jail. The prisoner, who held up wonderfully well during the searching examination,was not at all surprised at the verdict. He had felt certain all along that the letters would condemn him, and he thought that these alone would have condemned him. Deputy Sheriff Barbour, in whose custody the pris- oner had been during the day, returned with him and he fs egain in jail. He is a little nervous, but no more so than going through such an ordeal would make any one, for he had not been used to prison life, and this alone would affect any ordinary man. Mrs. Irwin {s still under treatment at the house of the colored man “Dick” Swann, at Allen’s Fresh, and when she is able to leave her bed she will be brought here and put in jail. a " A WAVE OF CRIME.

Valuable Information Sent Out by Sanitary Authorities, From the Philedelphia Press, The excessive heat of the past few days has prompted the distribution by the poard of health of a circular containing much valuable warm weather advice. The sub- stance of the circular, which offers some suggestions as to the proper treatment of persons who have been overcome by the heat, is as follew: eat Exhaust{on.—Prolonged exposure to high temperature, particularly when combined with physical exertion, is Hable to be followed by great prostration, col- lapse, restlessness, and in severe cases, by delirium. Unlike heat stroke, the surface of the body is usually cool, the pulse small and rapid, and the temperature below nor- mal—as low es % degrees Fahrenheit or 96 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not necessary that the person shall have been exposed to the direct rays of the sun, as the con- dition may come on when working in close, confined rooms during midsummer, and when exposed to great artifical heat, as in Jaundries, bake shops and engine rooms. “Bunstroke or Heatstroke.—This is chi>f- ly confined to persons working very hard while exposed to the sun. It is common in our large cities, but is not known in the country. Those habituated to the use of beer and whisky, and the debilitated, are especially predisposed to attacks. Symptoms. “The attacks may be sudden and the patient be struck down and die within an hour with symptoms of heart failure, dificult breathing and loss of conscious- ness. The usual form comes on during exposure, with pain in the head, dizziness, @ feeling of weakness, and sometimes Nausea and vomiting. The loss of con- sciousness may be only transient or it may be complete. The face is flushed, the skin pungent, the pulse rapid and full, and the temperature very high, from 107 degrees F. to 110 degrees F. The breathing is labored and deep, sometimes loud. It is important to note that in heat exhaustion the skin is moist, pale and cool; the breath- ing easy, though hurried, the pulse small and soft, and the senses entire; while in heatstroke there is usually insensibility great heat of skin. ss sd pa Precautions. “On very hot days one should drink fre- quently of cool water in moderate quan- tity. It is injurious to drink a large quan- tity of {ce water, cold beer, soda water or other mineral waters or iced drinks. Cool water in which oatmeal has been stir- red is a safe and refreshing drink. Imme- diate death is sometimes caused by ‘ice cold’ drinks. The immoderate use of alco- holic beverages is also dangerous. “When overheated work slowly, frequent- ly cooling the Head, chest, back and wrists with cool water. Keep a wet sponge or cloth in the hat. When on a very hot day the skin becomes hot and dry and a sting- ing, burning sensation is felt in the head and the face is flushed and the eyes blooda- shot, the person should immediately quit work, seek quiet and a cool place, and if not speedily relieved from the oppressive sensation of heat take a cold bath, sub- merging or wetting the head. Treatment. “Remove the patient to a cool and shady Place where there plenty of fresh, pure alr. Strip the clothing to the waist and place the sufferer in a recumbent position. Pour cold water (ice water) upon the head and chest and wrists until consciousness returns. Apply ice to the head and rub the body with it, but if the skin is cold no ice should be applied. When practicable the patient should be put in a bath at 70 de- grees F. to reduce the temperature. “In heat exhaustion stimulants should be given freely, and if the temperature is below normal, as shown by the skin being cold and clammy, the hot bath should be used. Ammonia and water may be given, if necessary. —+e+-—___—_ To Be Surrendered.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am impelled by the sound, conservative and enlightened course adopted by the edi- tcrial page of your paper in this campaign to express to you the gratification that one citizen, at least, feels in having with us so able an exponent of what every well- thinking man ought to declare to be right. I refer more especially—for all The Star’s editorial sentiments are good—to the new and highly dangerous arguments free silver agitators are making that it is little short of a criminal offense to be guilty of pos- sessing more than a mere competence, and that every rich>man or large employer of labor and every corporation is, ipso facto, a target at which may be leveled the abuse of these agitators, as though, instead of legitimately existing and having a legal and moral right to live, extend their busi- ness as far as possible and to employ as many men as such business may demand, they are a menace to the body politic in which they thrive, and are not spokes in the great wheel of mercantile industry that keeps this or any other country from stag- nation and. ruin, This assault upon the established business interests of our country is new and start- ling; in fact, it would appear to the sober minded to be scarcely susceptible of belief. But the constant iteration of the inflam- mable language of these people establishes the existence of this feeling. Until this year, the leading business men of a com- munity could convene and take such ac- tion as their party affiliations prompted. without being characterized as a pack of “grinding monopolists and scoundrels gen- erally intent only upon their fiendish schemes of self-aggrandizement, and their efforts to stamp the life out of the laborer and the farmer.” Is everything on earth to be subordinated to individual interests of two classes only of our people? Have not the insurance agent, the liveryman, the storekeeper, the clerk, the banker, and, in short, the followers of any calling, as much right to thrive and to live as the two classes first mentioned? Yet the whole country is being terrorized into a condition of fear and stupefaction because of the cry: “Give the farmer more money—cheap, debased, fiat money—that he may scale his detts one-half, and at the same time store up his: preducts..-Down with people who have made or are making more than a living!” In-fine, existing conditions are to be overturned. The great self-regulating laws of compensation and of supply and de- mand are to be set aside. What is to be- come of us? What are we all laboring in our respec- tive fields for, if it is not for financial inde- pendence and its attending comforts? What does the clerk or mechanic lay aside a portion of his income foreach year, ifit is net to go toward the establishing of a home? And if the man whose inherent capabilities are such that he outstrips his neighbor and acquires wealth did not spend a large portior. of it in building his fine house and buying his fine horses, but instead lived in a hovel and buried his gold in the back garden in an iron pot, wouldn't the builder and the mechanic and the farmer all howl in unison most dismally? The law of compensation would cut only one way then. During the past month I have heard a dozen men who work for their living say: “Well, free silver will help the farmer, so I am for it.” These men were mainly so situated that their interests and those of the agriculturist are antipodal. All exist on salaries or day’s pay, and the least in- crease in the cost of the staple products would be felt by them almost immediately, to thelr detriment, for their salaries and pay would not be raised; the motorman would still get his two “dollars” a day, and the $1,200 clerk his regular nurhber of ‘‘dol- lars,” but their purchasing power would have decreased. Yet it is from this very class of people that the heaviest silver vote will be recruited, paradoxical as it is. E. J. JACKSON. ——— Hotel Arrivals. Hamilton—Alfred Caldwell and wife, Miss Martha B.
