SCORES HIGH COURT
Sensational Speech by Littlefield
Before Bar ASSOCiatififl.
ANENT ACTION IN ISLAND CASES
Congressman Declared Decision of 8u
preme Court Is Without Parallel
In Our Judicial Annals.
Remarks Applauded.
A sensation was caus-jd at Thurs
day's session of the American Bar As
scocfation at Denver, Col., by the ad
dress of Congressman C. E. Littlefield,
of Maine, on “The Insular Cases.” Mr.
Littlefield’s address drew forth loud
anc j long-continued applause and a mo
tlon was ma( j e to tender him a vote
ot thanks for It, but this motion was
declared out of order by bhe president
on the ground that the speaker is a
member of the association. The view
of the mover, however, was not univer
sal with the members, for just before
recess was taken Adolph Moses, of
Chicago, mads a vigorous protest
against what he characterized as an
unwarranted attack upon the supreme
court of the United States. His re
marks were cut off by a point of order,
but his words were greeted with ap
plause in which a considerable minor
ity of the convention Joined.
The convention met at 10 o'clock
and President Wetmore at once intro
duced Charles E. Littlefield, of Maine.
Mr. Littlefield spoke on “The Insu
lar Cases.” “These cases," he said,
“considered in the manner in which
the results were reached, the incon
gruity of the results, and the variety
of inconsistent views expressed by the
different members of the court, are
without a parallel in our Judicial his
tory."
Taking up the first case known as
BeLima vs. Bidwell, stating the opln
lon ot every member of the supreme
court on the same, the speaker said
Justice Brown did not announce the
conclusion and judgment of the court,
affirming the judgment of the court be
low, but rendered one of his own. Re
ferring to the opinions of Justices
White, Shlras and McKenna, in the
same case, the speaker said:
"Technically speaking, there is no
opinion of the court to sustain the
judgment. If the Dooley case (known
as Dooley v. United States) is control
led by the Downes case,” said Mr.
Littlefield, “there would seem to be no
good reason why It should not have
been decided. That It was not raises
the Inference that it would be decided
adversely to the government, or that
there was a greater difference of opin
ion than usual with reference to It.
Mr. Justice Gray is the only one who
indicates his position In this case.”
Mr. Littlefield considered the other
cases which had been passed upon
and said in the unsettled condition of
the court it was hardly worth while to
speculate as to the result of those
cases. His conclusion as to Porto
Rico’s status is, briefly:
“So far as the operation of the con
stitution was concerned this territory
was to all legal intent and purpose a
part of the United States. It matters
not how the constitution reached the
territory so far as this case was con
cerned, so long as it was there.”
Mr. Littlefield also discussed the
thirteenth amendment to the consti
tution as it has been construed by the
supreme court in regard to Porto Rico
and the Philippines. He said, refer
ring to slavery as ft existed fn the
United States:
“The negro cannot be driven out of
the south. He is vastly the superior
of the Filipino physically, and until the
Philippines produce a Fred Douglass
or a Booker T. Washington, he has
nothing to fear in an intellectual com
parison.”
At the conclusion of Mr. Littlefield’s
address, reports of standing commit
tees were submitted without being
read.

At Trial of Negro Rapist Guns Are
Brought Into Play—One Killed
And Two Wounded.
A Bpecial to the The Birmingham
Age-Herald from Ashville, Ala., says
that one man was killed and another
probably fatally wounded ia a battl9
in that town Thursday to save the ne
gro, Jim Brown, from the vengeance of
a mob, after he had been tried and
sentenced to be hanged on September
20th for tha most heinous crime known
in the criminal law of any state.
Walter Blankenship was killed,
"while Arthur Blankenship and a small
boy, the son of James Hanley, were
wounded in the melee.
The Blankenships were brothers,
and It Is said had been In town since
Monday trying to stir up the trouble.
Matter died within two hours after
being shot, and Arthur is In a preca
rious condition.
The attempt of the mob to gain pos
session of the negro followed one of
the swiftest and fairest trials ever
held. It was a battle of witnesses
with the Judge and court officials on
the defensive to suppress the fast ris
ing anger of the crowd, as detail after
detail of the fiend’s work was told by
the witnesses for the state. There was
no evidence for the defense. As the
brute said afterwards in his confes
sion there was nothing the witnesses
he had summoned could say in his be
half.
The clash came in half an hour af
ter Judge Pelham had pronounced the
sentence. By a ruse the court room
was cleared of half of Its angry oc
cupants. The remaining half was
surly and seemed bent on mischief.
At the request of Judge Pelham, J.
L. Garrett, father of the girl outraged
by Brown, mounted a table and spoke,
counselling peaee. He had hardly ad
dressed the assembly as his friends
and neighbors before he broke down
in tears. In concluding his appeal, he
said:
‘‘If you have any respect for my
feelings, If I can have any weight In
your hearts, let me urge you as good
citizens to go home and obey the law
and I will never cease to thank you
from the bottom of my heart from this
day to the day of my death."
Fired Into Window*.
The first Bign of an outbreak came
when one man from the outside with
a pistol In his hand started to mount
the stairway. He was followed by two
or three others. Several shots were
exchanged and the mob leaders re
treated to the outside when two mem
bers began firing into the windows.
Arthur Blankenship was hit first and
his brother was shot while emptying
his revolver in the direction of the
windows above.
A hard rain was falling. The bodlps
of the wounded were removed and the
crowd scattered about in front of the
stores across the street. The officers
took advantage of this lull and spirited
Are negro away In charge of two spe
cial deputies. He was gotten safely
aboard a freight train for Birmingham.
The Negro's Crime.
The crime for which Brown will
hang was committed on May 7th, near
Springville, within a quarter of a m*!o
of the home of the Garretts. He was
working in a field near where Miss
Garrett, who Is a school teacher, had
to pass in returning home late in the
afternoon. He followed her for some
distance and finally assaulted her near
a creek. He dragged the girl Into the
water, threatening to drown her.
Abandoning this last thought of ending
his heinous crime by murder, he pulled
off his clothes and put on another suit
in the presence of the young woman,
throwing his Bboes into the water, He
was with her for three-quarters of an
hour. Miss Garrett remained uncon
scious for some time, and then made
her way to the house and gave the
alarm.
Brown left the vicinity at once, first
going to Birmingham, then to Annis
ton? Atlanta, and finally to Charleston,
S. C., where he was captured. In the
meantime another negro had been shot
to death because he was mistaken for
Brown. The real Brown attempted
suicide by cutting his thoat with a
piece of glaas shortly after his cap
ture.

VICTIM OF THE STAKE
Negro Who Brutally Murdered
Mrs. Williams Cremated.
CONFESSED TO HEINOUS CRIME
Culprit Saturated With Oil and Match
Quickly Applied—Six Thou
sand People Witnessed
the Awful Sight.
A special to Tho Chattanooga Times
from Winchester, Tenn., says Henry
Noles, the negro who criminally as
saulted and shot to death Mrs. Charles
Williams, wife of a prominent farmer
near Winchester, Tenn., last Friday,
was captured early Sunday morning at
Water Tank, near Codan, Tenn. He
was carried to Winchester by his
captors and placed Iti the county jail.
Sheriff Stewart made haste to try to
barricade the jail and protect the pris
oner. Soon an angry mob of several
hundred citizens gathered about the
jail. Assistant Attorney General Mali
N. Whittaker appeared and made a
speech to the Infuriated citizens. He
appealed to the citizens to assist him
in allaying excitement and upholding
the majesty of the law.
He promised to reconvene the grand
jury Monday to promptly indict the
negro and have him speedily tried at
the present, term of court, assuring the
crowd that his conviction and legal
execution was a foregone conclusion.
This appeal was supplemented by
Judge J. J. Lynch, Captain W. P. Tol
ley, Jesse M. Littleton, Foster Rain
sey and others.
No sooner had their appeals been
made than several hundred citizens
from the neighborhood where tho
crime was committed came up and
augmented the crowd to thousands.
They swept forward upon tho Jail,
overpowering the sheriff and his dep
uties, secured the prisoner and start,
ed for the scene of the crime, twelve
miles distant, at 10:15 a. m.
It seemed that the whole popula
tion for miles around had turned out
to see the fate of the wretch. A pro
cession three miles in length followed
the mob to the Williams home. Ar
rived at a point in Sight of the scene
of the crime tho negro was placed
upon a stump and given a chance to
make a statement.
He mounted the stump stolidly and
laughed as he began his statement.
He said:
“Tell all my sisters and brothers to
meet me in glory. I am going to make
that my home. Tell my mother to
meet me where parting will he no
more.”
He was then asked a number of
questions. Interrogated as to whether
or not anyone else was implicated In
the crime, Noles stated emphatically
there was no one Implicated but him
self.
"Why did you kill Mrs. Williams?'
was asked.
“I Just done that became I had
nothing else to do.”
Saturated With Oil.
He finished his statement, at 1:35 p.
m. He was taken from the stump,
carried to a tree near by, bound to Jt
by chains and his body saturated with
oil.
At 1:40 p. m. a match was applied,
and instantly the quivering body was
enveloped In flames. Rails were pitch
ed about the burning body and soorf
life was extinct. The negro made no
outcry at any time, and died stoically.
At least 6,000 people witnessed the
horrible fate of the negro. Many ro
ma.ned until nightfall, augmenting the
blaze until the body was entirely con
sumed. They then departed for their
homes quietly.
History of Nobles’ Crime.
Lying on the floor of the family
room, with her face splashed with
blood, Charles Williams found his
young wife Friday afternoon when lie
returned from marketing his wheat in
the little town of Maxwell.
A heavy bullet had crashed through
her head. Life was completely ex
tinct, and her two baby children were
crying aloud their grief and fear s',
what had transpired before the ar
rival of the father. The oldest boy,
aged 5, told what had occurred.
The young mother had been slTot
and killed by Henry Noles, a negro
hqnd upon Williams’ place. As the
mortally wounded woman sank to tho
floor, Noles shot at the boy, the bullet
grazing the child’s head.
It Is reported that the motive wag
robbery, and $20 was obtained by tho
murderer.
Four Million Mark Passed.
At the Pan-Amerlean exposition tho
four million mark in attendance was
greater than any previous month. j

ed at New York from Europe Satur

versy, be said:
"A great deal of interest is taken in

an Englishman, make* favorable feel

WAR CLOUD GROWS OMINOUS.
France and Turkey Seem to Be Drift
ing Toward Conflict—Russia
Makes Significant Move.
The French ambassador at Constan
tinople, M. Constant, sent a letter to
the sultan Friday morning personally
Informing him that he would leave
Constantinople with tho entire staff
of the embassy if the matters In dis
pute wore not settled Immediately. It
accords the sultan the briefest delay
within which to comply with the de
mands.
A dispatch to The Petit Bleu (Brus
sels) from Vienna says:
“According to advices from Galatz,
twenty Russian torpedo boats and sev
eral dispatch boats have arrived at the
Dniesta delta, and Russian troops are
commencing to mobilize along tho
Turkish frontier.”
French Officials Reticent.
A Paris special says: While the of
ficials of the French foreign office de
cline to confirm or deny tho dispatch
of tho Associated Press from Constan
tinople announcing that the French
ambassador has sent the sultan a let
ter which Is in tho nature of an ulti
matum, they admit having received a
telegram from M. Constans, which has
been laid before the council now sit
ting at the Elysee palace.
The correspondent learns that M.
Constans has been given a free hand.
Any step he finds proper to take will
he fully Indorsed.
The foreign minister, M. Ilelcasse,
If ho deems it necessary, will with
draw tho French embassy from Con
stantinople, aud Munir Bey, the Turk
ish ambassador, who is now in Switz
erland, will be notified not to return
to Paris, in which case Munir Bey will
probably withdraw the legation to
Tierne, as he Is also accredited as min
lstcr to Switzerland.
No naval demonstration Is yet con
templated, but tho sultan will proba
bly be seriously Inconvenienced by
the closure of tho Turkish embassy in
Paris, which is the center of the es
pionage maintained to watch the nu
merous young Turks and other disaf
fected Ottoman subjects and volun
tary exiles who make their headquar
ters in Paris, and will have a free hand
If diplomatic relations between France
and Turkey are completely broken off.
It has been suggested that, tho
French government Issue orders for
tho bourse to cease dealing In Turk
ish securities, but It Is not likely that
this stop will be taken, as it. would
only injure tho French bondholders.
The entire Turkish group fell on thq
hourso Friday, in some cases going
10 to 15 francs
