Doty's trial has been definitely fix ed for .Tune 16th and the charge against him remains "abandoning his post before armed rebels.” The American, who is held in con finement here, is in the best state of mind.

SEEKING VENGEANCE WOMAN FIRES HOME OF NEGRO HERE Mandy Ross Arrested at Home of Friend Hqse. Following Burning of Frank Phifer's Home. 1 Because-he chased her with a sJwt gun on May 30th, Mandy Rows, col ored, formerly a resident of this city and at present giving her address as I Salisbury, last night set fire to the i home of Frank Phifer, •in Crocker town. the colored settlement .just east of Concord. The bouse, which was the property of the Southern Loan and Trust Company, burned to the ground and the adjacent house, prop erty of Q. E. Smith and oebupied by Carolina Moore, was damaged beyond repair. Both houses were covered by insurance. * With vengeance in her mind and a package containing kindling, oil, and matches in her hand, Mandy boarded a train in Salisbury late yes terday afternoon and came to Con cord, ostensibly te visit a friend of hers on Georgia Avenue. Early this morning, about 2 o’clock to be exact, Mandy left the home of her friend and started her nocturnal expedition. Traveling in her -stocking feet it was not long until she had reached her destination. There, to he.* dismay, she found that she had left her bundle of kindling and oil behind. Frantic ally searching through her clothes she finally found § single match and man ipulating it with great cure she man aged to ignite a piece of wood stick ing out from Phifer's house. Then *he turned on her heels and* fled. The fire spread rapidly nnd before Monday had reached town the alarm had been given. Bob Faggart, leav ing Howard’s Filling Station cn his way to the fire, met her on her way from it, still carrying her shoes, and asked her where it was. She told him that it was in Crockertown. A number of large, unshod foot prints all around Phifer’s bouse led | local officers to the belief that some one had been guilty of arson. Upon talking with Faggart, who told them of the negro woman he had passed on his way to the fire, their case became cut and dried. They arrested Mandy, ami upon searching the house of ber friend, found the bundle of. material idle had brought with her from Salisbury for the purpose. Confronted with this evidence of guilt, Mandy this morning in jail j confessed to having fired the house in her desire to get revenge for the ill treatment on the part of Phifer.
