In Case of Her Death All the: Prisoners Under Arrest Will Have to Face a Trial for Murder in.Firet Degree. (Special to The Evening World.) BURLINGTON, N, J., July 8—Word Was received here to-day that the con- ition of Mrs. Charles Biddle, the young ‘wife and mother, who was assaulted by dhe four negroes, is in @ critical cond! tion and her physicians way that her Geath may be expected at any moment unles her hysterical condition responds to treatment. } All through the night Mra, Biddle suffered spasm after spasm. These spasms became more frequent as the Aight wore on and her heart action be- | @ weaker, When not unconscious) Mrs. Biddle raves in delirium, imagining that the negroes who assaulted her have murdered her little baby. Phys- ielana and nurses were in constant at- fendance fpon the young woman and to-day her family were notified to expect the worst! Mrs. Biddle bore up bravely until after the positive identification of Jones, the negro in jall at Mount Holly, accured of being one of her four assailants, The vight of this negro seemed to drive away all self-cogtrol and Mrs, Biddle became hysterical. In her hysterical state she attempted to reite in detail what had occurred at her home when her husband ‘was away and when the negroes came to the house, The memory of her hor- rible experience seemed to make reason The announcement that Mrs, Biddle was in a critical condition has stirred the already excited men and women of this part of the State until they are Ddordering on frensy, and mob rule would Telgn could the negroes be ~ot at Inhabitants Are Angry. ‘This spirit of revenge also extends to the other negro inhabitants of Bur- ington who have expressed sympathy for the men wha have confessed the peerly assault. Burlington and Mount Holly have long been infested with @ worthless, shiftiess, thieving class of blacks who have defied law and order. The whites are up in arms daainst this class and are ready to make war upon them, .The brother of Timbers and other |, mer-vers of his family are accused of having aided him fn his escape to Penn- sylvania, Feeling against this brotner fs particylarly bitter, When Timbers and his three accomplices were being fought the brother is said to have Jeored at the white men and openly expressed lds sympathy for the assail- ants of the young white woman, If it ean be proved that these Timbers ne- groes did assist Aaron Timbers und the aaber negroes to escape they will be arrested.
