D. BHzzird Identified as Person Who Entered Residences of Mrs. Kerr, W. B. Brown and Andrew Wal ker, col., Sstordsy Night. A. D. Blizzard, a white man of about middle age, was committed to jail by the Mayor yesterday In default of $100 bond to answer a charge of having entered two or more residences Saturday night and ,early Sunday morning and having stolen therefrom several small amounts of money. Blizzard was arrested at 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning at. Fourth and Bruns wick streets by Officer T. Q. Evans. The charge was being drunk and down and he was locked up at the ata tion house. Later, it was ascertained that three small burglaries had been committed in the section of the city in which Blizzard had been wandering and the police were not long in con necting him with those offences. Whether the entrances were effected with felonious intent or not, is a que tion which the jury in the Superior Court will decide. The first burglary that came to the attention of the police was that of the house of Andrew J. Walker, the well known colored ex-Alderman and Major of a negro regiment in the volunteer army during the Spanish-American war. Walker lives at '416 North Seventh street and $4.84 in cash was stolen from his trouser pock ets. The burglar was discovered in the house by Walker's wife and her husband chased the man a short dis tance without result. Walker's wife swore in the police court yesterday that she recognized Blizzard as the man who entered her house. The next house entered was that of ex-Policeman W. B. Brown at Fourth and Taylor streets. Mr. Brown saw the man at the window and said he hooked trousers out of the room by means of a pole with a nail on it and handed them down to a confederate to be robbed. The man waa driven away but later came back to the house and was accosted by Mr. Brown, who dealt him a blow over the head. In the police court Brown said he be lieved a cut over Blizzard's eve was one which he dealt the man and he said he thought he could Identify Blizzard by that mark. A gentleman living at Mr. Brown's residence lost $3 40 from his trousers pockets by the visit of the thieves, and: Mr. Brown lost a small amount personally. He savs the unknown man whom he struck said he went in the house "by mis take" and "came out by mistake.'' The residence of Mrs. Kerr, a widow lady who lives on Fifth, between "Bla den and Harnett , streets, was burglar ized about the same hour. - Entrance was gained in the same manner aa at the other two places, by means of raising a window. Mrs. Kerr's room was ransacked before she awoke, and $1.50 in change and aome trinkets were stolen from inside a cabinet clock on the mantel. She thinks she was chlo roformed, as she awoke in a dazed con dition when her daughter screamed in the next room at the sight of the In truder, who had gone there in search of other booty. Neither Mrs Kerr nor her daughter, however, recog nized the burglar. Blizzard is a comparative stranger in the city, and admits that another white man was with him Saturday night, but refuses to disclose bis name. He has been working at the Angola Lumber Co., and some people think he is half-witted. Arrangements were being made yesterday by his friends to give bond. - Application for Pardon In another column official notice is given to the public that application will be made to the Governor for the' pardon of John Henry Martin, color ed, convicted of larceny at the May 1903 term of the New Hanover Supe rior Court and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. The application is made by Martin's mother through her counsel, William J. Bellamy, Esq., who will contend that the color ed man was not given proper time at the trial to employ counsel. The case is remembered as one of unusually swift disposition by J udge Timberlake. The negro was arrested before noon for the larceny of goods from the Backet Store; was given preliminary trial before the Mayor, tried In the Supe rior Court and sent to the State prison for ten years all in about two hours. J. Robert Jordan Dead. Mr. J. Robert Jordan, State Lect urer of the Knights of Pythias and a you-g man well known in Wilming ton, died Saturday morning at 10:80 o'clock at his home in Asheville, N. 0., where he had been critically ill for some time. The remains were sent to the .former home of the deceased at Peoria, 111., for interment.

WANT HABEAS CORPUS WRIT Great Balk of Scudal la Reports of the Affair Deioasced as False by Both v Sides Faicrai of the Vlctiai. The Preliminary Trial. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. ' O., Feb. 23. Coun sel for Ernest Haywood, who shot and Killed Ludlow Skinner Saturday evening, - say that habeas corpus pro ceedings will be Instituted in a day or two. and self defence will be proven. They issued a statement this evening in brief as follows:-! - : ; "As, counsel . for Mr.. Ernest, Hay wood; we think It proper that wft mak a tbia atatemenL The accounts of the unfortunate "occurrence of Saturday afternoon, are incomplete and Inaccu rate Mr. Haywood did . not Shoot from behind, nor did he shoot an un suspecting man. On the contrary there had been a personal altercation between him and the deceased ; begun by Mr. Skinner and in which Mr. Skinner struck Mr. Haywood first and knocked him down. Both men then reached for their pistols, and Mr. Haywood fired first, not having stricken a blow. These facts will be proven by men of the highest charac ter, who were eye witnesses. Among those who saw the altercation is Hon. RobL N. 8ioiS, and he saw Mr. Skin ner strike Mr. j Haywood. Mr. Haywood has made no state ment to his counsel or any other person, reflecting on the character of any one; and he is in no way respon sible for sny scandals now being re ported or published" Mr. 8imt, who is one of the most prominent of the young members of the Raleigh bar, said to-night that he will testify that he was in front of the postoffice and saw Ludlow Skinner in conversation with Ernest Haywood; saw Skinner strike Haywood on the side of the head, so that he fell either on the postoffice steps or on the balus trade of the steps. j Skinner sprang off several feet. when Haywood recovered himself and aa he did so, be fired at Skinner, who sprang away to the street curb. Here he hesitated for a moment with his face toward Hay wood, who. fired the second shot, and Skinner, who seemed to be turning when the shot waa fired. staggered into the street and fell. Counsel say none of the scandal to which reference haa been made in the reports will come up in the hearing and the impression now seems to be that self defence will be established. Jno. EL Winder, manager of the Sunday Creek Coal Company, of Ohio; arrived from Cincinnati to-day. He is a brother of Mrs. W. B. Tucker, whose relations to Haywood brought about the trouble with Skinner, and Is also a brother of Mrs. Ludlow Skinner and married a Miss Tucker, sister-in-law of the young widow Tucker. Winder, who aa the male representative of the family, will direct the special prosecution of Haywood, if there is any, aays he don't know what will be done yet; that no counsel have been engaged and he cant say what will be done. i Every effort Is being made now to atop the spread of scandal which the killing haa given rise to, the great bulk of which Is pronounced really unfounded by both sides. fBv Associated Press, j Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 23. John Chick, a sign painter of Winston, an eye-witness of the killing of Ludlow Skinner here Saturday, says he was standing within a few feet of Haywood and Skinner -and when they came down the postoffice steps together. He heard no words between them. At the foot of the steps Haywood stopped, and as Skinner stepped off the curb, fired. This was followed by a second shot aa Skinner reached . the centre of the street. Chick says be did not see Skin ner do anything. Ralkigh, N. O , Feb. 23.
