The sent him on to the County Court, but they didn't have the evidence ta OOn Vic I him, ami he was diseharg. Further inquiry brought out the in mat ion that the murdered girl had been outraged. The crime was com? mitted about (i o'clock in the evening, and within twen: the public road, and within tailing distance of a well known citizen's house. Soon af? ter the murder some one erected a temporary scaffold aa a kind of warn? ing to the murderer, -who, by the way, has never suffered for his crime, and all efforts to trace the guilty party proved futile.

i Marable, the wife of Solo mon Marable, bears a good reputation among the people around about Sto vail. She and her motlier. Hell Mor been living in the neighbor? hood for years, and both are known as industrious, well-haved Negroes. When I saw Fannie Marable yester day she replied, in answer to my questions, that when the ticket to Richmond was sent her by John Mitch ell, she oould not come because her mother was down with the typhoid and there was no one but her? self to nurse her. Her mother recent? ly recovered from the attack, and now is very weak and thin.

These facts substantiated the daugh? ter's statement. ramos marable's story. Below is attached the story of Fan? nie Many of Hie statements have been verified, and the straight? forward, intelligent way in which the woman spoke indicates that her storv is true, so tar as she could recollect Said she "1 married Solomon Mar? able about three years ago. He form? erly lived near Midway, some sis miles below Stovall. His mother waa named vi arable and bis father's name was Cooper.

He had two brothers, one of them a grown man, and tue oth? er a young boy. Their names are Tom and Aaron. When we were married we lived at John Sanford's place about live miles east of Stovall. Last Hecember Solomon moved from Johr place and went to the farm of John Spencer, about one mile froir Finneywood, lAinenburg county, Va which is about live north o' Chase City, on the Keysville and Wes ern railroad- After he had been a work at John I about oks he wrote lor nie to come UJ there, and 1 went. Solomon worked on the farm a John Spencer's until last M- rcn.

The next morning (Saturday) he said he was going to Finneywood, and thence to Chase City He didn't say what he was go? ing for, and he started off This was about o'clock in the morning.

KIR8T ll KA KU OF THK MURDER. "While he was gone Kene Ba who lived with her father on Mr. Pet tus' place, came and told me that Mrs Pollard had been killed 11.e evening be and that Mrs. Thomas, the moth? er of Mr PettOS, had sat up with the body that night. That was the first time 1 heard of Mrs Pollard's death.

A short time after that Mr. Tom Spen iitl another white man came to my house and asked for Solomon. They said they wanted him to appear SS a Witness i'l the bollard case I told them Solomon had gone to Finney WOOd and base City, but would return 1 thought. They went away, and a bout 1 o'clock Solomon came back home and said he had been to Finneywood and Chase City. "1 told him afr.

Spencer and another man had been there to summon him as a witness in the Pollard case, and Solomon said: "There is no use to come after me for a witness; 1 don't know anything about the case." "1 asked him if he had heard about Mrs. Pollard being killed, and he said he heard it that morning, but did'nt know anything about the particulars. He stayed at home a little while, and then started back to Finneywood, he said, to inquire if there was any mail for him. In a short time he returned and said there was no mail for him at Finneywood. Ile spent the rest of the evening at home, and said nothing about the Pollard killing while there.

Just before derk, he went away again, and said he was going back to Finneywood to get a let? ter from his father, who lives near Mid way. didn't havk any monrt. did not see him again until Sunday morning about 8 o'clock, when he came home. He didn't say anything about the Pollard killing. I don't think he had any money.

If he did, he didn't let me know anything about it After he had been home a short while he told me we must fix up our things and go down home, by which he meant this place. I got no? things ready, took the children with me, and we walked to Finneywood, and thence to Chase City. At Chase City a crowd of men got after Solomon, and he threw me hie pocketbook with $2 in it, and ran down the railroad toward Five Forks. 1 took the train at Chase City and went to Bullocks, and from there, walked over to my aunt's who was living al Mr. John Royster's about one from Bullock's, and spent tbe night, spent Monday at my staid at my aunt's on Tuesday, and oi Wednesday, I came here to my moth ers.

A FRANK STATtfsfKNT. "I didn't see Solomon again until went to Lunenburg, where the tris was going on. I had a talk with hie there, but he simply asked me abou the children and said abou the Pollard case to me. 1 got a lette from him last week, asking about th children, and enclosing me he said a priest got for him. 1 never heard him say anything aboi where the Pollard money went, and have never gotten any money froi him except the $2 he gave me at Chat City, when the rowd got after hir and the $11 got in the letter last This is all 1 know.

A number of inquiries failed to gi any other information from the an. Sh" was frank and e-spoke and efforts to make her con trad i if in any statement of important proved futile.

D. C. Newspapers editors like politicians are always ready to straddle the fence Editor John Mitchell, is making a noble fight against a monuments money grab in an organization, knowi 8 as the True Reformere. 1 The New York Age, the Colorec American, and one or two other journals want to make the public be lieve that Mr. Mitchell is wrong the money shark right.

I I If there was ever a pieco of gigantic ,1 money grabbing on the part of th a chief of the True Reformers, it is th $60,000 that the organization it I away for a blind plan that no on knows that it is in existence, but th man to whom the money voted Negro editors must do away with th idea that race representatives cannc commit wrongs and not show them If the editor of the Colored Amer: can makes an attack on a person or measure this week, be will retract i next week. I The editor of the American som few months ago made a most bittc attack on the President of Howai University. The "Bee" also coi demned the methods resorted to the president to remove colore teachers and appoint white friends the presid The American has since taken bac what it said for a piece of silver ar keep standing a letter said to been written by the late Frederic Douglass, commending the preside! of Howard University What Mr. Douglass said may ha' been true, but what he would say no ey I relative to the removal of lg teachers and the appointment of whi et le ir e'? er teachers in their places would be a horse of another color. Let there be more manhood, hon? esty, and sincerity among colored editors.

This is called "scum" journalism, it more harm than it does good Editor Mitchell is making a goad and manly fight against the chu the True Refornn How Much Will You Give to Defray the Expense of Counsel.

"Ile Brownel did not even have them copyrighted until 1887 when he had reason to believe that a plan was on foot to oust him and take from him the benefit of his life's work Then he secured a copyright oo such part of his plans as he had then put into State? ment of W. P.

WHAT REV. BROWNS RECEIVED. If he had worked three years fo: nothing and received ($1200) twelvi hundred dollars per year for five year and ($1800) eighteen hundred dollar per year for six years he has from the Grand Fountain the munifi cent sum of ($16,800) sixteen thousani eight hundred dollars up to January 1895 This does not include the profit on the regalia department, which received until 1893, a period of twelv years and which is presumed to hav yielded him a revenue of not less tha $4000, during that time. This doe not include the extras attached to hi office, amount realized by him on members, etc variously estimated some as netting him anywhere froi one hundred dollars to twelve hundre dollars per year and swelling his sall I ry to a sum estimated to be from $19C to $8,000 per year. Based upon these conclusions, it safe to say that Rev.

Browne has given the magnificent sum of twenty-four thousand dollars. Ad to this the one thousand dollars horses and carriages, and the thn thousand dollars for the regalia partment and he has received tl handsome sum of twenty-eight thou and dollars. Now to this, the Grand Fountain du ing its 15th annual session voted hi ($50,000) fifty thousand dollars mor making the grand total ($78,000) seve ty-eight thousand dollars, not inclu ing the life tenure to office with per year and extras attached the Grand Fountain gave him and which he may yet sell back to the or? ganization for a sum variously estimat? ed to be from twenty-five thousand to a hundred thousand dollars.

Browne said he had re Asks a Question NC, A committee of ladies and gentlemen of Danville, Va threaned to annihi? late the Planet if Editor John Mitchell will not take back certain things he has written about Mr. W. W. Browne and his grab game of $50,000. Just what met hod this conmniittee intends to pursue in annihilating the Planet is not just patent to us.

To do this it seems that they will have to annihilate the editor also, and could we get along without our only John Mitchell? Perhaps they mean boycott instead of annihilate. II. D. Banks and daughter of Old Point. called on us.

He Entertains an Appreciative Audience at the Third St. A. M. E. Church.

An appreciative audience gathered at the Third St. A M. E. Church, Fri day evening, 25th inst at 8 P. M.

Thc occasion was a Song Recital by Mr Theodore Drury of New York, th? star of the entertainment. Tormado Galop was excellently ren dered by Mrs. Henry Bolden. Madame Fanny Payne Walker sanj with charming sweetness "Fleeting Days." She was encored. Mr.

J. P. Woolfolk sang "Monard of the Woods." He has a rich voice He sings with ease, while the volumi displayed is surprising. It was trouble for him to sing the lowes notes with little or no effort, while th melody afforded was gratifying. Mr.

Theodore Drury electrified th audience with "Toreador from Oper Carmen." Miss Bessie Murray and Miss Forres ter each received a gold watch for sell ing tickets. Mr. Theodore Drury will take hig rank among the great singers of thi day. His delivery is excellent, enui ciation fine and scholarly attainment along musical lines superb. lt was a pleasure unexpressible 1 listen to his operatic renditions an witness his skill and judgement i portraying pathos, humor and refini ment as he proceeded to entertain tl enthusiastic audience which had ei cored him again and again and we even more enthusiastic upon his turn.

That he has been under the tarahip of some of the ablest music instructors in the land is plainlv ma ifest; that he was an apt pupil is a parent to all who will take ths time hear his renditions. (1 IX sh Endorses Our Position. F'or ten years we have done what we could to promote Rev. Browne's success- No one has shown greater friendship for him than ourselves. We were warned that the depositing of such large sums of money at Rich? mond would awaken cupidity and that steps would undoubtedly be tak? en at some time to empty the treasury of the Order to the detriment of the members of the organization.

It seems that the moment has arrived. We regret the necessity, but the inter? ests of the people are paramount to that of individual friendship or past favors, and we warn all concerned that the first dangerous false ste; been taken and that the yawning gulf of financial disaster is just beyond Richmond Planet. them about it in time John, and let no guilty man escape be he friend or Joseph Mo.
