IDENTIFICATION EASY
Mrs. Collins Picks Washington Wliit
taker Out of a Group of Five With
out the Slightest Trouble Is Cer
tain That He is Her Assailant
Mr. Lawrence Jackson Also Says
He Is the Man Dark Prospeets
For Wlii taker. As There Is Little
Chance For .Mistake iw to His
Identify.
Yesterday, '-when everything was
tjuiet nrojind tile county jail Deputy
.Sheriff Ste.ll arranged lor Mrs. W. R.
Collins to pick out: from among the
prisoners m the jail the man who en
tered her home on the night of April
9th and after attempting to rob her
shot her in the hack, Mr. IX U.
Byrum. township constable, was
asked to be present, und all others
were excluded from the jail.
Mrs. Collins is still very weak, and
in order to not tax her strength un
duly Sheriff Stell placed a chair for
her -at a convenient place, Mr. Col
lins, Mr. Lawrence Jackson, and oth
ers in the party were excluded from
the room.
Picked From a Group.
The negro was placed in a line
with four others, standing next to the
last man on the left. Mrs. Collins
was asked to take her- time and -go
carefully over the negroes standing
in line, It did not take any tline"fo"f
her to pick him out. Almost Imme
diately she pointed her finger at
Washington Whit taker and said:
"That in the man. I'd know him
anywhere." . .
Sheriff Stell, leaving the nun in
lit, Hymni's care, took Mrs. Collins
over other parts of the jail and
showed her other prisoners. Then he
took her back again to her chair and
naked her to look the men over carefully.-
' " . -s,.- ,-'-.-..
One of the negroes in the line
trembled violently when first lined
up for inspection and showed every
evidence of guilt. Mr. Stell called
special at taut Ion to the man and also
to others in the line, with a view to
ascertaining the certainty of her
ideiitlllcatlon. Mrs. Collins never
wavered for one second. .'She.. was
certain that Washington Whitlaker,
the -negro arrested in Wilson anil
.brought, here last Friday, is the man
who entered her room on that horri
ble night und tried to kill her.
Whlttaker stood the test well.
When first lined up for inspection not
a muscle moved. Tears came into
his eyes when Mrs, Collins faced him
a second time and declared that he
was her assailant, but he did not
speak. :
.' Mrs. Collins was then taken'' out
and Mr. Lawrence Jackson, who lives
next door to Mrs. Collins, and - who
saw the negro while he was in the
house and also on the front porch,
was asked to look the men over. He
went in under the same conditions as
Mrs. Collins and had no trouble In
picking out Whittnker as the man.
He could Identify the negro with as
much certainty as dlL Mrs. Collins,
but he'says that Whlttaker looks like
the man to him.
The details of the horrible crime
are still fresh in the minds of the
people of Raleigh, and do not need
recounting here. The negro, who
claims that he came from Tarhoro,
was here from April G to 10, with
Marr's Dixie Shows.
The crimo was committed on the
night of April 9, the day before the
show left here, i Through Mr. F. L.
Fowler information was obtained
which led to the arrest of Whlttaker
inifcWilson last week on a warrant
Issued by Justice H. H. Roberts. He
was arrested and brought to Raleigh
Friday evening, by Deputy Sheriff J.
J. Howard;
The negro claims that he can prove
an alibi, but the positive Identifica
tion by Mrs. Collins makes it look
dark for him. ;
It must he remembered that the
negro who attempted to rob und kill
Mrs. Collins did not' try in any way
to hide his face. He picked up the
lamp and followed her about the
room, with the light shining full in
his face, and it is hardly probable
under the circumstances that Mrs,
Collint would forget his face, and
there la little cause to doubt the cor
rectness of her identification. ,

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, April 1ft Senator
Aldrich, in speaking on the tariff
bill, said in part:
"I had intended to leave the ques
tion of estimating the amount of rev
enue to b,e derived from the pending
bill until the consideration of the
paragraphs had been completed in
the senate, but the character of the
amendments which have been offered
to the measure has led me to con
clude that an earlier statement in
this connection is desirable.
"The practical question to which
I shall ask: your attention today is,
will the bill as reported from the
committee on finance produce suffi
cient revenue when taken in connec
tion with the internal revenue taxes
and other existing sources of revenue
to meet the expenses of the govern
men.t without the imposition of addi
tlonal taxe7 )I answer unhesitating
ly, after a thorough and careful in
vestigation of the fads and the con
ditions likely to surround the prob
lem, that it will.
"The changes which we propose to
make in the administrative act in
elude ( 1 ) new definitions of dutiable
value and new methods in Its proper
ascertainment; (2 niofe efficient
collection machinery;-and (3) a pro
vision for the creation of a customs
court to insure uniformity of deci
sions in customs cases. The provi
sions suggested will in the opinion
ff the committee, 'result -"in the col-
ction of a certain percentage more
revenue in tne importation or me
saint? articles than was collected un
der the act of 1S97.
"For the year Iftll I have est!
mated an Increase of revenues of
S-10, 000, not) and a reduction of ex
penditures of $:15,000,I100 a conse
quent surplus of $30. DIM), 0(H). This
surplus would certainly continue'un
di r normal business conditions. There
can lie no reasonable question of the
sufficiency of the senate bill to pro
vide adequate revenue.
"It is important in the interests
of the public, service that a radical
change in the procedure with refer
ence to appropriations should b(
made and the senate Is pledged to im
mediate reform in this regard. Froiii
in investigation more or less super
ficial I am myself satisfied that the
appropriations made last year could
have been reduced at .least - $5,000,-
OOfl without impairing the efficiency
of the public, service.
"In the face of the record 1 have
disclosed no political party can af
ford to place new and unnecessary
burdens upon the industries and peo

regret extremely if the party of which
I urn a member should assume any
such responsibility."

l !ty Cable to The Times)
London, April 1ft Dispatches to
day .brought new stories of riot, pil
lage and bloodshed from Turkey.
Three thousand have now fallen vic
tims to the mad rage of the mussul-
mans in Asia-Minor. In Mersina,
Adana, and other towns, the Are and
sword have ruthlessly claimed vic
tims. This is the fourth day of the
massacre.
In the midst of the scenes of riot
ing stands Constantinople in a tur
moil today over the invasion by the
young Turks. A dispatch from Sal
oiiica stated- '.that .'the committee of
union, nnd ".progress has condemned
Abdul llamid to death. There were
reports that the sultan would abdi
cate today. Turkey is on the verge
of civil war which may overrun the
boundaries and spread Into Europe,
The Constant inople correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph wires that the
riirkish troops in the capital would
offer but little resistance to the in
vaders. Further, he declares, that
in all likelihood the troops stationed
to guard the city would fraternize
with the members'' of the third corps
and there would not be a shot, fired
in defense of the capital. The garri
son is without officers and could
hardly pretend to offer serious resist
ance, says the correspondent.
Official notice has been given that
the Invading troops would begin their
march against Constantinople today.
A military dictatorship would be es
tablished In the event of the over
throw of the sultan and the fanatical
element would be swept from Stam-
lioul. .
The correspondent of the Times
declares that many persons have
been killed in vengeance for private
wrong since the rioting first com
menced. In part his dispatches to
day rend :
"In the Turkish chamber 35 tele
grams of sharp protest against the
mutiny have been received from the
provinces and read. These include
messages from the commander of the
Adrlanople army corps and the Ar
menian and Kurdish committees. It
Is estimated that since the mutiny,
from 15 to 25 army officers have
fallen victims of private hostility.
The rapid return to power by the
committee of union and progress Is
looked upon as certain, according to
today's dispatches. Thfl committee
attempted lo force a resignation of
the cabinet and it was declared that
this would be affected before night
fall today.
Further advices from the Turkish
capital declare that the entire Christ
ian population of Alexandretta has
gathered In the Christian residence
quarter. Barricades are being erect
ed and the refugees are preparing to
defend themselves against the Invad
ers, 1 Serious disorders are reported
at Smyrna.
