litem FEUD EODS III POLICE COURT Negro Once Tarred and Feathered, Alleges Two Men Stoned Him. DEFENDS SELF WITH AXE AFTER HEARING THE TESTIMONY THIS MORNING MAYOR ZIMMERMAN DISMISSED THE CASE RICKMAN LECTURED. A negro, who had once been tarred and feathered, was In city court this morning and preferred charges of assault and battery against Clayburn Williams and Henry Patterson., Dave Rlckman, the man assaulted, claims Williams crippled him by hurling. a large rock and Injuring his left knee. Patterson is said to have cursed and threatened to kill Rlckman. Rlckman went after Williams with an ax, according to testimony. After hearing the evidence Mayor Zimmerman dismissed the case. It was a Goosetown feud over horse shoe pitching, which occasionally took place in front of Rlckman'a house. Williams pulled up the stakes. Rlckman went to Williams' home and cursed his aged mother, whose support depends entirely on Williams. Rickman said he would kill Williams on sight Thursday night when Williams came home Rlckman met him with an ax. Williams grabbed a stone and hurled it, striking the other negro on the knee. He Jumped behind a tree and then cursing violently dashed again at Williams who threw two more stones. Rlckman filed an affidavit against Williams and Patterson, yesterday. It developed from the testimony that trouble was frequent in the neighborhood of North Fifteenth street. After finding the defendants not guilty Mayor Zimmerman told Rlckman his side of the case certainly did not "look good." The mayor said Rlckman was known as a "bad nigger ' in the north end and had been in police court before. Evidence in a previous trial showed that Rlckman had been tarred and feathered in Bellefontalne, Ohio, for alleged relations to white women. The mayor told him ho was always causing trouble In the north end and It he cursed anybody again he would be fined $100 and costs and the limit on a Jail sentence. DESERTS HIS BRIDE Berlin, July 30. An extraordinary scene occurred .recently during the marriage of a merchant and the daughter of a prosperous resident of Coblenti at the town hall in that city. The bride had been asked by the mayor whether she accepted the man beside her as' her husband, and had replied in the affirmative. .' Then the mayor turned to the bridegroom and asked him whether he took the woman as his wife. To everyone's astonishment, the bridegroom, instead of the customary response, raised his hands in dismay and then turned and fled. Several members ' of the wedding party started in pursuit, but the fugitive bridegroom gained steadily, and finally the chase was abandoned. The bride fainted in her parents arms and the bridal party gloomily dispersed. 5,969

UliSUSPiCIOUS OF

PLAIiS OF ARREST . IS THE FUGITIVE Dr. Crippen, According to a Wireless Today, Is Gloomy and Restless, But Does Not Smell Out Trap. POLICE IN A DISPUTE OVER MAN'S ARREST But Many Think That the Reward Offered Should Be Given to Eagle-eyed Captain of the Montrose. (American Nw Service.) Montreal, July 30. The following aerogram from the steamer Montrose was received today: 'The supposed Crippen was on deck early today apparently deep in thought. The supposed Leneve remained in her room all day very gloomy. We stopped in a fog last night Suspects did not sleep. Will send another wireless Sunday. Signed. Kendall, commander." ' The government has established censorship over the wireless stations and placed them at the exclusive use of government offlclals and agents. The Montrose cannot reach Father Point until Sunday night, possibly not until Monday after daybreak. It was learned today that an affectionate squeeze of the hand of the suspect by his alleged student soh was what first attracted Captain Kendall's eagle eye and later led him to his decision regarding the 1 real identity of "John Robinson and son." A BITTER DISPUTE. Father Point, Que., July 30. The bitter warfare that has raged between Chief Constable Charles Gavreau of the Dominion police and Chief McCarthy of the Quebec provincial police for the last twenty-four hours culminated today in a threat from Gauvreau that he would charter a tug and Intercept the . steamer - Montrose . - below Father Point to arrest Dr. H. H. Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve, wanted la London in connection with the murder of Crlppen's wife Belle Elmore. This followed a second rejection of Gau vreau's claims by Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who since his arrival on the Laurentlc yesterday has given his support to McCarthy. "I. have been delegated by the au thorities at Montreal to make the arrest," said Gauvreau today. j "i was nrst in tne neia ana i am ine representative of the Dominion police In the Rimou8ki district. I am going to uphold my dignity if I have to outflank those who dispute my power." Views of Inspector. At the little French pension conducted by Mme. LaVoie, where he spent the night, Inspector Dew, when told of the statement by Gauvreau, smiled slightly and said: "It is not a matter of personal dignity; the question is to catch the fugitive. Personal hopes and opinions cannot interfere with the due process of law." The advantage lies with McCarthy. Not only has he the recognition of the English detective who crossed the seas to be here tomorrow when the Montrose arrives, but he is armed with the warrant secretly issued against Crippen . by Police Magistrate Panet Angers at Quebec, under the Instruction of Attorney General Gouin. This struggle between the police is a fight involving not only the $1,250 reward issued by Scotland .Yard for Crlppens' apprehension, but the glory of making the climaxing move In the greatest fugitive hunt and murder mystery of a decade. There is a strong opinion here, bowever, 'that Captain James Kendall, the master of the Montrose, who first flashed to the world news of the suspects' whereabouts, has the best claim to the reward. His acumen in noting that the supposed "Robinson's" delicate son pressed the elder passenger's hand like a woman may prove to be worth $1,250 to him. Chief McCarthy today refused to comment on the question of the reward. -j am authorised to make the arrest and I will." he said, with a touch of asperity when asked for, his side of the conflict.

A PlSniiVEIITOB Catholic Clergyman Has Invented Aeroplane with Folding Wings. FLIES LIKE A SWALLOW (American New Service.) Rome, July 30. Aldo Benettl. the parish priest of Terrain, near Spoleto, has invented an aeroplane, with' adjustable wings identical to those of . a swallow.'-. In an Interview . he explained the principle of his invention. He studied the flight of the swallows, and admitted having cut off the wings of several live birds and fitted them with mechanical wings which enabled them to fly. The priests added that the birds were martyrs to science. It was indispensable that they should be tortured as he wanted to test his in vention and had not the money to build models and was therefore bound to use the birds. The Pope read the interview this morning and wired to the Bishop of Spoleto threatening dire punishment to the parish priest if he resorted to these 'cruel and barbarous methods, which were worse than vivisection, as they did -not- benefit' humanity. The Pope instructed the : bishop to warn the Inventor that he would deprive him of his right to celebrate mass if be continued ; his . experiments. , At the same time he sent a sum of money to enable the priest to build models, as he wished to encourage aviation, pro vided animals were not tortured. The priest hopes to build an aeroplane and take part In the aviation meeting in Milan next September. Meanwhile, he has promised not to touch the swallows. TO DISCUSS SALE.
