They stole a flat Ijoitomed boat, sailed up a narrow dl *erfloi) channel to within a short dis tance of the dynamite storehouse, gently stole up to the hodse, which >VpM guarded hy the watchman; and , pked for some dynamite.

Quickly Apprehertdsd. | By ten o'clock that night two of the Borderers were In custody ; the third was apprehended next day. Most peo-1 pie on the Zone thought there was no inch thing ds cnpltal punishment pn the statute hooks, but they were mis taken, and three men have bdphv hinged since the American, occupa tion of the Canal Zone ? in 1908 and 1909? for murder in, the first degree. The feeling among the residents on the Isthmus ran high 'against the ac cused, especially among their own people. The negroes on the isthmus,* *a?a rule, are peace-loving, and while . they will do much talking in their quarrels they seldom come to blows. That their countrymen would kill an other was beyond their comprehen non. - McClotid, Lopez and Williams were arraigned before tlie magistrates' court and held for murder and grand larceny for the district court. On the day of the trial excitement was at its highest. It was feared that an at tempt would he made to take the prisoners from the pdllce, and every effort waft made to insure their safety.. The courtroom is on the third floor of the Masonic temple, in the very cen ter of the city, and on the border/li?e ] of the ('anal Zone and the Republic | of Panama. The building i# equipped, with fire escapes, and these were packed with negroes anxious to get ? look at the men who had disgraced their race. They would have been glad to pass and execute Judgment on the accused. ' Ably Defended. ? Judge llanan designated three of the most able lawyers practicing in the Canal Zone courts to defend the roorderers. Judge C. P. Falrman, an American lawyer of high standing, was named to defend McCloud, while W. C. Todd and L. &. Carrington, both of Colon, were appointed to de fend Williams and Lopez. The three on \trial for their lives paid little attention to the proceed ings exrppt when" on the witness itand. Tlion each admitted taking part In the murder, but each denied being tin? man who did the actual Wiling, each blaming the other. The government's cose was so closely woven about them that there was no chance for osrnpe. PREACHERS STARVE TO DEATH English Clergy Unionizes to Combat Low Wage* VJfhen TV^enty Flve Die. London.
