Desperate Negro.

HJxhway Robbery Char-e.
8urrounded by a horde of unfriend
ly negroes, the lone and eolitarv
bite man present In the rear of a
ehsaty in the disrepuUble locality
known aa "Bull Neck, near Tenth
nod Mulberry streets, Police Sergeant
G. 8. Burnett for ikree-quarter of an
hour yeaterday afternoon . about . 5
o clock, engaged a desperate; colored
criminal in a hand to-hand "struggle
for life or death. The negro was Wal
ter J. Lucas, an ex-convict, about 31
years of age aad the officer' euperior
physically, who waa wanted for
snatching Mr. N U. Hunt's watch
Saturday night at Tenth and Princess
street, an account of which appeared
la the STAB Sunday morning. Tbanka
la the indomitable pluck of the offi
cer and tha timely arrival of Theo.
Sann and two or three other white
men when Sergeant Burnett wae about
exhaualed, the desperate negre was fi
nally conquered and now liee In a cell
at the police station, repenUnt but un-
forgiven. One of hie ears Is gone,
strange to ssy, and Sergeant Burnett
pleada guilty to having bitten it off
aad to having aplt it oat oa the
ground where the hand to hand en
counter took place. The officer re
ceived a slight cub on the bridge of hi
cote and his left eye wae nearly goug
ei out by the elawa of the negro fiend.
Dr. Harper attended him and the in
juries will likely not prove serious.
The negro will be arraigned In the
Mayor's court to-day at noon and will
probably be sent immedistly over to
the- Superior. - Court, where Judge
Nesl's proclivity for Inspiring greater
respect for officers of the law will
doubtless assure the criminal cub-
stsntlal punishment. '
Ever since Mr. Hunt reported hit
robbery at the police station Sslurdsy
at midnight. Sergeant Burnett baa
bsen quietly at work on the case and
Wednesday tne atolen watch was
found at the atore of William Warren,
colored. Tenth and Mulberry atreets.
where Lueaa had pawned It for gro
ceriea to the value cf $L50. Yester
day Sergeant Burnett for obvious rea
sons put on dtlxen's clothes and went
out ia sesrch of the negro. He carried
no club, for that would betray hi
mission, and he slipped in on Lucas
ben the latter waa least expecting it.
Lucas jumped up and demanded to aee
the officer's badge. It was shown and
fighting for time the negro asked to see
the warrant. Before Sergeant Burnett
could produce it, the negro tried to
evade arrest and the elash came. The
officer attempted to put hi nippers on
Lucss but the negro engaged
kirn too strenuoutly for that. It waa n
fight to the finish. One negro sum
moned oat of the crowd of about fifty
who had congregated about the scene
jumped In ostensibly to assist the offi
cer, but Sergeant Burnett wa led to
believe he wss giving aid to Lueaa.
Ooce the sergeant had the negro's head
under his arm and his pistol upon bis
forehead. He conld have killed bim
by pulling the trigger, but, despite the
provocation. Sergeant Burnett said the
pity of It overcame him. His judg
ment as an officer upon that occasion
did him credit Finally Mr. Swana
and other assistance arrived and the
police officer, ss bloody as n beef,
came down to the sUtlon house In the
patrol wagon with a youthful but des
perate criminal. Wbea - searched at
the police station the negro bad an
open knife in hia pocket which no
doubt prompted the boast to the officer
during the encounter, that he would
"die before he would be arrested."
He admirably suited hia actioneto bis
words.

Josephus Daniels, Esq.t Editor, Ra-
leiah.N. C. x ' '
My Dear Sir: There have inciden
tally fallen into my hands some cf
the reports published in both Raleigh
and Charlotte papers concerning' my
defalcations.' etc.. which I denounce
as malicious lies one in particular,
two columns long, witn scarcely a
semblance of truth from the begiu
nlng to the end. The facts are grav-
enough, but I will swear by all past
associations and by my hope of for
giveness by the Great Judge of all
hearts, that the true shortage will
not and cannot be made by HONEST
men to aggregate ONE HALF of
amounts nublished.
I have not aa yet attempted any de
fence, and if 1 ever do there will be a
few shattered panes in the Glass
Houses of some of those "prominent
families of Newbern," who seem to
have "swallowed their consciences" (if
they had any to swallow) and are now
ao eagerly and narahly sitting In judg
ment against me: and while 1 say this.
I have not a word of reproach for any
one who is trying to do me justice,
whatever the penalty of that justice
may be. This I consider the unpar
donable sin to speak maliciously or
disparagingly of human souls, hun
gering for hope. When the man with
out brains does it he can be pardoned
for knowing no better. When the man
ttn brains doea it,- he . ahould be
asjiamed to look his fellow mortals
in the eyes.- It is a sin ten times
deeper dyed than giving a slone
to those who ask for bread, or giv
ing poison to those who ask
for a cup of cold water. My heart
has never been intentionally evil, nor
am 1 tbe recipient or any iii-goiien
gains. I realize to the fullest capa
bilities of a proud and sensitive nature
(for the pall has hung hourly before
my eyes,) the turpitude and lasting
ahame (in their every phase) of my er
rors, and remorse muit be my eternal
portion in this life. I have never had
any other idea than that of returning
voluntarily, if not otherwise, when I
felt that I had the strength and cour
age to do so, for my present sufferings
are far greater than the Law of man
can Inflict. I wish to live only for the
Innocent ones dependent upon me.
There is nothing we cannot live down
and rite above, and overcome. I
would rather learn sympathy and no
bleness of hesrt through sin than
never learn it at all. Truthfully,
T. W. Dbwkt.
