Od the Verge of Collapse
Mrs. Sampson Pleads
To Go On Stand
Toung Prisoner Accused of tbe Bur
ner of Her Husband Entered
tbe Court Boom Pale and
Bagf ard by Long
Strain.
Lyons, N. Y., April 9. Georgia Al
lyn Sampson is to all appearances on
the verge of a breakdown from the
strain to which she has been subjected
since the beginning here on Monday
last of her trial for the murder of her
husband, Harry Sampson. She did not
sleep at all last night and this morn
ing in turn demanded and pleaded
with her attorneys for the privilege of
going on the stand and explaining
everything. Her advisers and friends
had difficulty in calming her. When
.she entered the court room today the
young prisoner was still looking pale
and haggard, and her attorneys fear
she may collapse.
The trial had been in progress only
a short time today when the prosecu
tion rested its case. Re-direct exami
nation of Dr. Albert H. Hamilton, the
gun expert, occupied but half an hour,
and no new facts of importance were
elicited from him, either by the prose
cution or by the attorneys for the de-:
fense on cross-examination. When he
had been excused the prosecution clos
ed its case and the usual motions for
dismissal were made by the defense
:and denied by the court. George S.
Tinklepaugh then opened the case for
the defense.
Mr. Tinklepaugh said that the wit
nesses for the defense would be few in
mumber and that their testimony
would be adduced to strength
en the defense's contention that
Sampson had not been murdered,
but had committed suicide. Photo
graphic evidence would play a part
in the defense, the attorney said, and
expert testimony to show that suicide
was Dossible in the circumstances
would be presented.
Albert C. Hopkins, a Palmyra pho
toKrapher, the first witness sworn for
the defense, identified various photo
graphs of the exterior and interior of
.the Allyn farm house, including sev
eral of the pantry, which had figured
ro prominently in the case, and' the
stairway from which the prosecution
.contends the fatal shot was fired.

A Day of Nature's Smiles and Church
Observance and Church-Going in
Goldsboro.
Yesterday was an ideal Easter, and
gloriously was it observed in- the
churches of Goldsboro and by church
goers. It was a cloudless day, and
new-born leaves and bursting buds
and full-bloom flowers breathed from
every bow and fragile stem the mes
sage of immortality, while, too, upon
the graves of loved ones in the ceme
tery the fragrant floral tributes
breathed of faith in the resurrection.
Indeed, it is upon His victory over the
grave that the faith of countless mil
lions rest. Out of His triumph over
death has come solace to troubled
hearts since that far period when
those who came early to the sepul
chre found the stone rolled away and
heard the announcement, "He has ris
en as He said." Without this assur
ance without this faith, what would i
life be?

All This Week Every Evening in
Mary's Catholic Chnrch'at.tl
As perviously in The
Argus, there v -gun in St. Mary's
Catholic Church in this city last night
a mission, which is intended as an op
portunity for all those seeking the
truth to learn the doctrine of this
church, whether they embrace it or
not.
Rev. Father Flemming, a priest of
the Paulist order of . the Catholic!
Church, will conduct the mission andl
preach or rather . expound the doc
trine of the church, anl all "non-Catholics
are cordially invited to hear him
every evening this week at 8 o'clock.
Nothing in Father Flemming's lec
tures will be said to wound the feel
ings of the adherents of any other
church ; neither will the doctrines or
tenets of other churches be assailed;
but the doctrine of the Catholic
Church will be fully expounded, with
out reservation or equivocation, and
his hearers will be left to think it
over witn an tneir aouots removed
and their consciences awakened to the
responsibility of Individual salvation.
Father Flemming is a profound
scholar, an earnest priest, an eloquent
preacher, an orator with the gracious
charm of unconscious power. His
opening sermon last nignt was as
beautiful and unjarring as a river of
gold flowing through banks of silver
towards that eternity of enjoyment in
the approving presence of God to see
whose face is the reward of the faith
ful.
The real object of this mission Is to
expound and explain Catholic doctrine
and practice. The subjects to be
discussed during the mission are the
following: "Christ the Redeemer,"
Christ the Teacher," "Christ's
Church," "Christ's Virgin Mother,"
"Christ's Earthly Dwelling Place,"
"Holy Eucharist," "Christ's Hospital
(Purgatory)," Christ's Remedy (Con
fessional)," "Christ and the Bible."
A very interesting feature of this
mission will be the "Question Box,"
which box will be placed at the en
trance of the church and into which
all are invited to place ny written
questions concerning the doctrines
and teachings of the Catholic Church,
of which explanation may be desired.
These questions will be answered each
evening before the lecture.
The public are cordially invited to
the mission.

Secretary of the Interior Under Mc

Away, Aged 74 Years.
He Doubtless Now Realizes That He
Is a Han Without a Country,
and That the Paths of
Glory Lead But To
the Grave,
Fort de France, April 10. Cipriano
Castro, ex-president of Venezuela, was
ignominiously expelled tonight from
the island of Martinique by the French
government. He protested to the last
against his expulsion, but his pro
tests were in vain! He is now on
board the French line steamship Ver
sailles bound for St. Nazaire, France.
Official notice was served on Castro
this morning of the decision of the
French government that he must
leave the island of Martinique within
nine hours from the receipt of such
notice, and that the commissary of
police at Fort de France had been
charged with the execution of the or
der. The ex-president was furious
with indignation, and strove through
out the day for some excuse that
would be satisfactory, whereby he
would not be compelled to obey the
order, and to this end late in the day
he summoned a lawyer and physician
to certify that he was unable to leave
the country.
The governor of Martinique and the
public prosecutor, however, refused an
extension of the time, and about 5
o'clock the commissary of police, ac
companied by a large force of gen
darmes, proceeded to the hotel where
Castro was stopping to remove him,
forcibly, if necessary, to the steamer.

FLORIDIANS LYNCH NEGRO.
John Smith, lVho Dragged Miss Mary
Steel Ewing From Her Buggy Two
Miles From Arcadia, is Taken Away
From the Sheriff and His Deputies
and Strung Up to a Tree.
Arcadia, Fla., April 11. John
Smith, the negro who yesterday drag
ged Miss Mary Steel Ewing from her
buggy, two miles from Arcadia, in an
attempt at criminal assault, was taken
away from the sheriff and his depu-'
ties at an early hour this morning
and hanged to a tree.
The story of the attempted assault
is as follows:
Miss Ewing, who had been to the
city on a shopping tour, was return
ing to her home, four miles from the
city, when the negro sprang into the
buggy, seized Miss Ewing and dragged -her
into the bushes, throwing her
town and choking her. The youig
woman begged, fought and prayed to
the black field to let her go and of
fered to give him $100 in cash if he
would accompany her home, but l is
did not stop the brute, who was about
to force his victim into submission,
when Miss Ewing, in her struggles,
saw Will Knowles and his brother
walking some distance from the scene.
With renewed vigor she screamed and
this attracted the Knowles brothers
who rushed to her assistance. The
brute made his escape and after tak
:ng Miss Ewing to her home, the
men rushed to this city, spread the
news and bloodhounds, followed by a
posse of three hundred men, were
soon on the trail. The negro was
was found at a turpentine camp, taken
before his victim who positively iden
tified him. Sheriff Freeman and his
deputies succeeded in placing Smith
in jail, but being afraid of an attack,
attempted to spirit the black brute
out of Arcadia when they were met
by an automobile party, held up and
forced to give up their prisoner.
