(Special to The Times) Durham, Dec. 3 The morning murder of Engineer J A. Holt, of Spencer, on freight train No. 723, running extra, is wltnout a parallel In Durham's too frightful category of crime .' ' I The assassination occurred about 12:55, at the coal chute in East Dur ham, whm the big freight engine pulled up to take coal and water. It had been replenished and Fireman J. .1. Taylor says ho was standing near Mr. Holt, who was likewise standing and brushing his machinery. The re port of the firearm caused Holt to wince and seizing his Bide he said to Taylor: "I am about gone, and I am Horry for my wife and children. - I don't leave them anything. Tell them good-bye for me." Jp a ter minates the tram'rewy' Tinder "Capt.' B. F. Wad Jell, had reachei mm and with a wave of recognition Mtv Holt sank in the left cub window and died. Ho hnd dragged himself from the right side. The fireman says that after the as sassin Bhot, ho stood with his back to ward the engine a, few minutes and left. It seems that he had crouched behind the chute and that he came out and shot In an upward' poltlon. Nobody for a moment suiimised that anything but a pistol had been used. There was no post mortem and not .until 5:00 tills morning, when the un dertaker began to prepare the body for burial, was It dlucovered that the entlro load of large No. 1 shot had taken effect in his back, and that he died from an Internal Hemorrhage. In as short time as possible Dr. J. M. Manning and Detective J. A. Woodall were on the scene with a: newspaper mau taking notes. From, all that could bo learned there wuh noj possible clew, because Mr. Holt wast apparently without an enemy in the; world and was simply butchered by a man who may never have seen him. j There was no suggestion of a hobo, j In fact the tratnment declare that; there was never a man of fewer en-j emles, The engineer was at his work and 'the shot from a man almost un-l der the engine came as a terrible -shock to the assistant on the engine ( and he was entirely finable to deter-) mine whether the fellow was white on black, ' ' : j There was a vicious shooting Into a Durham residence 40 minutes later , that may have a possible connection . with the murder in East Durham.! M. Greenberg, a Hebrew merchant,' and his daughter went down to East Durham to visit H. Brady, Green berg's son-in-law. They returned home at 1:30 this morning and as, Miss Greonberg retired up stairs she; stooped to look under the bed. At j that time there was a discharge of the shot-gun, and the lead tore through i the blinds So close did It come to her thnt the Elasa broke In her hair and I bad she been standing up she would! most likely have been .killed. Mr. Greenberg hastened upstairs to ascer tain the trouble and fired twice at the man. . A stranse story Is told by him. Several weeks ago a negro, occupying one of bis houses was notified by a .menacing note with a red flag at tached, and tagged to his door that he must move from the neighborhood where white people live. The negro refused to go. About the same time Mr, Greenberg found upon his own door a similar threat, with the danger-signal of red.' He refused to move the man and the note said he must do It. Since thinking It over bo believes he was followed from East Durham and the attempt made upon 'blf hoasohold" by the man who shot ' . .Continued oa Second fa.) .

Bonfires were lighted, hogsheads of rum rolled Into the streets and broken Open while the vengeful mobs Bhouted imprecations upon the fleer Ing president and carried Are i and looting to all quarters of the capital. Appeal was made to the various legations by foreign residents who feared their property would suffer. The appeal was carried then to the head of the provisional government and - then General Legitime ordered the troops to shoot down all the pil lagers. i . When the government military prepared to suppress the rapine and plundering the mobs became even more maddened than before. Gath ering stones and clubs they sougnt to fight back the troops, but a few volleys sent the Vandals retreating to shelter. - . It is not known how many were wounded in addition to. those who were killed although the number is not thought to be large. - Daybreak offered a sorry spectacle In those quarters of the capital whlca had been . pillaged. Smouldering ruins marked the remains of build ings, merchandise had been carried into the streets and dumped In heaps, windows had been smashed and cost ly furnishings had been piled into bonfires and wantonly destroyed. , '1 he city was quiet at daybreaic.

" MADDOX WIN MAYORALTY RACE Case Against Those Accused of Being Responsible for Death of Sinilii WILL BE HEARD DEC. 7. . .Coroner Announced This Morning That Ho . Would Open the Case Next Monday . Morning Twenty Witnesses Have Been Summoned Gracie James to be Let Out on Bond Statement from Constable Byrum as to Crenshaw Siatter -Question us to Who is Responsible for Holding the Negro. A definite time has been set for the hearing of the Smith case. Coro ner Separk announced this morning that he would open the case Monday morning, December 7th, at .10 o'clock. Twenty-six witnesses have been summoned and, as predicted yesterday, when it comes to a show down, it will be seen that the coro ner and constable hold pretty fair hands. . , Efforts were made this morning to arrange bond for Grace James, the woman now in jail. Bond will prob ably be given before night. Following a. statement contained in the morning paper, in which it is declared that Tom Crenshaw, the ne gro hack-driver, is held subject to the orders of tlie constable, Mr. By rum asks that the following state ment be published: "On Tuesday, at II o'clock, Capt. , Jack Beasley came to the court house ' and told me that it I wanted Tom Crenshaw .1 could, go to Q$ station uouse anu gei mm. i luiuieumieiy went to the pouce neadquarters ana saw Officer Johnson, the turnkey we saia i couian i get mm wuneui an order from the chief.: I went tC Chief Mullln and asked him for Cren- shaw. I told him what Beasley had said. Chief's reply was that 'Cap- tain Beasley was premature in his statements." He said he wouldn't turn Crenshaw over to me without an order from Judge Badger, and that he wouldn't give him up then, with out a controversy. Officer Barrow heard the conversation." From this statement it would seem that Crenshaw's detention can not be laid to Constable Byrum, as lie did what he could to get posses sion of the negro. Byrum has some ' evidence which connects Crenshaw with the case and would be glad to get possession of him. The police also seem to desire Crenshaw's pres ence in the station house.
