The men separated, but met again In front of Anderson's, Collins went int the hallway and said, “Come in here. The students started in the hallway, and when on the sill three shots were fired, Collinge was inside, Thompson afterwards took hold of Collins and helped hold him until he was turned over to an officer On croas-examination he was asked if he was a professional gambler, TH question was not allowed by the Court. Taompson admitted that between the first quarrel and the subsequent’ m ing of the students and the negroes, when the shooting took place, he in- formed Downs that the students were looking for them and not to have a fight with them. William A, Margerum corroborated Thompron as to Collins inviting the stu- dents into the hallway and the subse- quent shooting.

Her breakfast was then served her, and she ate it with @ fair show of ap- petite, The luet hours of the trial seemed to be more trying for the Judge and jury than for the accused. Recorder Goff's charge was nearly three hours in length and was merciless from the first word to the last, He gave @ clear review of the evidence and then he defined the element of the deliberation necessary in homicide to warrant a verdict of first degree murder in such @ way that no avenue was left open by which the Jury could find a different verdict. Near the close of the charge the Judge leaned forward to see the jurors through the fading Nght and in the Kravest tones he told the twelve men that if they faltered in their duty be- jcuuse the accused was a woman they violated their oaths and failed in the highest duty of cttizenship. ‘The jurymen, leaning forward in their seats, showed by their faces that they realized the force of the Judge's words and that the duty imposed on them would not be shirked. The picture was so gloomy that therewas not one in the court-room who was not affected, and when the jury retired it was as certain as anything can be that the verdict would be guilty.

The Federal Grand Jury made a pre, sentment this afternoon in the matter of the encape from Ludlow Street Jatl Sheriff Tamsen Is censured for neglect in keeping subordinates who did not know thelr duty. The principal responsibility for the .ee- cape is fixed on eg-Warden Raabe, who, the jury say, was guilty of gross and culpable ject, while the Keepers: Schneer, Schoen and McCabe, are found” to be utterly unfit men, who dispiayed, at the eritical moment, not obly cow; ardice, but sjupidity, if nothing ‘When Foreman Charles Ser! handed in the presentment combe said he wished to nis” grateful appreciation to the mem! ot the Grand Jury for the diligencé and care they had displayed, and to regret that the eral statutes did allow them to déal with the case in & more satisfactory way. At the close of the motion caletidar before Justice Lacombe, he summoned the Grand Jurors before him, amd in- atructed them In the law which should govern them tn thelr investigation of the escape, He said: “The persons who escaped in this in- stance were not criminals, but were committed for safe-keeping to await examination, The law governing the escaped prisoners has always taken cog- nigance of two different classes of es- capes, First, voluntary escapes, where the prisoner has been assisted by the custodian or some of those for whom he is responsible, either by some act of ion or commission, and second, negligent escapes, where the prisoner prisoners have got away by some act of negligence on the part of the cus todian or his subordinates.” Justice Lacombe said that both kinds of escapes were crimes in the eyes of the law but while a voluntary escape amounted to a felony, negligent escape was only misdemeanor, but while punishment for both classes of offenses, was defined by the State statutes, the United States Government, which was practically going on the same lines laid down by the law enacted over 10 years ago regarding Jails, had made no pro- vision for the punishment of offenses like the present one, where the escape could be shown as due only to negil~ gence, so that if the Grand Jury had evidence of the grossest negligence it would still be without justification fer presenting an indictment, unless it cou'd be shown that the custodian er soime of his subordinates had conntved at or voluntarily asaisted in the escape. ‘This was shown by section 6,400 ef the U. 8. Revised Statutes, which was the only one under which it could preceed, as it had no right in any case to indict except under a special act of Congress, ‘The Court said that while the Grand Jury could not indict unless a yolun- tury escape was proved, it could still present the results of its investigations to the court, with such criticisms, eom- ments or recommendations as it might deem propar, and send the same to the Governor if it thought it ad- visable, Justice Lacombe defined the law gov- erning the confinement of prisoners which forhade the keeping of civil an@ criminal prisoners in the same room, ot in the room with those awaiting examle nation on a criminal charge. The Sheriff, under chapter 686 of the laws of 1892 was the custodian of the Jail, and was responsible for the acts of his subordinate After hearing the charge the Grand Jury again retired.
