March 31. E. W.

SAVED BY A CHILD. Little Girl's Testimony Prevents Five Men From Hanging, Chicago, March child's testl- money reversed saved five men Tuesday from the gallows.

The result was a striking parallel to the case in which a fortnight ago Millionaire Peter Van Vllssingen practically demonstrated that under police pressure a boy named Woltrax had given false testimony leading to the continuance of convic tion of the boy's father for murder. Tuesday's instance of youthful unrelia bility under oath was In the case of William McCarthy and four Polish young men on trial for murder, the wit ness being a little girl, Appolonias Tar-sota, who first gave direct, straightforward, eye-witness testimony, apparently establishing beyond question, the guilt of the men and then repudiated her own evidence. In explanation of the remarkable conditions of change of front, the child declared that she had been instructed how to testify by the widow of the murdered man. Charges against the prisoners were withdrawn on the spot by the state's attorney and the five men walked out of the dock free, by order of the court. Governor of Guam, Washington, March 31.

Georgian Answers Remarks of Gillett of Massachusetts. Washington, March 31. In the house Wednesday Mr. Bartlett of Georgia spoke on the negro question. He said that Mr.

in a speech Monday had lectured the south for certain alleged violations of the law. He declared that Massachusetts was not free from the charge of disregard of law, even though that state may claim to be more refined than others. He cited an instance where a mob at Marion, in 1902 tarred and feathered a man and woman. He said the perpetrators of the outrage had been acquitted and march-ed through the streets like heroes. He read from statistics of Massachusetts showing the number of "disgraceful" marriages of whites with negroes in Jboston.

"If these facts are true," Mr. Bartlett said, "the teachings of the gentleman from Massachusetts and those who believe as he does are coming, like chickens, home to roost." TOWN ABANDONED.
