Immense quantities are no drawback to Hecht’s shirt- waist buyer. It is not the first time that he has bought a lot of shirtwaists for cash, so large as to make others “squirm.” There is no buyer south of New York who buys larger quantities--who is more shrewd than he. No matter how low he buys, we turn his purchase over to you ata proportionately low price--while special purchases made by others are put on sale at regular prices. This way of Hecht's has made the business what it is today--is making it larger as more of you become better acquainted. A word about the waists. The lot consists of the finest French lawns, French madras, white India linens, black and white striped lawns and pretty organdies. Nearly every one is finished with pearl buttons, and they all have pointed yoke backs, detach- able collars, and show careful, painstaking workmanship. There are light colors, dark colors and mediums--a variety which is almost unlimited. There is not a waist in the lot worth less than a dollar, and the most of them are worth $1.50, yet you get the unrestricted choice of them for 59c. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA —_+w James Lewis, Sentenced: to Be Hanged, ‘Wants a New Tiial. : aie Lawyer Sadler Employed to Conduct the Case—Memoriak;Pregram to Be Obeerved Monday—Other News. - -- (se. The Busy Corner, 8th & Market Space. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street. Bell Téatephione No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, ’Va.,{May 22, 1897. Lawyer Sadler, a colored“member of the bar of this city, has béen' retained by Jas. Lewis, the negro ravishe of Mrs. Ida Reidel, in the proceeding to be had for a new trial. Lewis is under sentence to be hanged June 4 at Fairfax Court House. Sadler has had made a complete copy of the record in the case for the purpose of taking the matter before the circuit court at its session next wéek. He feels confi- dent that he will be able to get a new trial for Lewis. : Several prominent citizens from Fairfax Court House were interviewed by The Star reporter this morning, and they all agreed that, Lewis had Baa “three ete and tm: jal_ trials; t been eulty by thirty atx ment and had been sentenced to be hanged by twelve men (the last jury), and that, should he be granted a new trial, the state will be saved the expense of a hanging. The people are indignant that the case is not allowed to stand as it is, as they say Lewis is clearly guilty of the heinous offense of which he was charged, convicted and sentenced. Should Judge Nicol feel compelled to grant a new hearing on a technicality there will in all probability be serious trouble at Fairfax, as the people up there say they are determined that Lewis shall hang for the offense—legally, if possible; forcibly, if it must be done. Memorial Day Exercises. All the preparations for the Memorial day exercises, which will take place in this city Monday: afternoon, have been com- pleted, and the following is the official program: The procession will form on Washington street, right resting on Cameron, and will Move at 5 p.m. sharp.
