DRAMATIC COURT SCENE' Lad Accused of Killing Two Italians, Points Cut Actual Murderers Krom Witness Maud. Arrests Follow. PARIS, June 20. (Special.) A dra matic incident took place in the Seine Assize Court the other day, when a young boy of 17. aocusfd of having murdered two Italians, was brought up for trial. At the preliminary hearing the third degree methods of the police combined with the threats of the gang of apaches to which lie belonged had frightened him into confessing a crime he never committed, and when lie ap peared in court the two rca murderers were in the" room arranging to kill him in case he should peach on them. The crime was committed about two months ago at Aubervillieis. Two Italian workmen had been stabbed and were found lying in the street, at a place where many crimes had been committed before',-and which is popu uarly known as the "Ca rrefour du crime." One oi them was already dead and the other was dying, but before lie expired he was able to tell the police that the crime had been committed by four young fellows, who hud attacked them as they were leaving a cute, and tried to rob them of their pay. Played on Ilis Ignorance. The police soon afterward arrested the four young fellows, and among these was the boy who was brougiit up for rial. lie was the youngest of the gang, and had taken no real part in the crime. The other three, however, had persuaded him that because of his age he would not be sentenced to death, the heaviest punishment that could be inflicted upon him being only an order to shut him up in a house of correction until he was 21. Being at the same time threatened that he would be killed if he gaVe evi dence that would convict the others, he made up his mind to confess that he alone had stabbed the Italians. The other three prisoners were, in consequence, released, and wore mere ly summoned to appear as witnesses. At the trial, however, they refused to appear, and the police had to compel them to appear in court. After being in prison for sonie weeks the young lad who hail pleaded guilty retracted his confession and wrote let ter after letter asserting his Innocence, but the court refused to take notice' until the suspicion was aroused by the actions of the other three, and when one of them was examined he got tangled up and made contradictory statements. Reasserts Ills Innocence. The prisoner again took occasion to assert his innocence, and pointed to the two fellows in the court room who were pala with rage, and who had threatened him with death. These were the real murderers. The dramatic scene came to a cli max when the witness in the box said that he knew all about the crime, anil that he would like to tell the truth. "Why are you - afraid?" the Judge asked. "Because if I tell tiie truth I shall be killed." he replied. The public prosecutor at onre pro posed that the court should take his evidence in private, with the result that instantly afterward the other two young fellows who had been called as witnesses were arrested, just as they attempted to escaie from the courtroom. "TOY SHOP" BRIGHT PLAY Lines Give Kvery Opportunity to the Young Actors. The' rehearsals of the "Toy Shop." to be given under the auspices of the In stitute Club of the People's Institute Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week at the Heilig. have developed much talent among the young folks. The plot of the opera is full of bright situations and calculated to produce not only amusement, but hearty appreciation of the music and fairy-like effects. A beautiful group is composed of the clock and minute fairies, all in effective costumes of red. The parts of the dork fairies are taken by the Misses Zeta Holllster, Beulah Cadwell, Genevieve But terfield and Clara Howell, all pupils of Mrs. Walter Reed.' The minute fairies are small girls. Dr. Pillsly (Phelps Car son) and the Rag Doll (Edwin Shevlln furnish some fun. and the Johnny Doll (George Biles) contributes some clever comedy work. The Teddy Bear stunt, which was writ ten especialy for the Portland perform ance, will be very funny. The seats are selling fast and the indications are for a packed house Monday night. BOERS IN SLAVE TRADE Carry on Traffic In Portuguese Ter ritory of Angola. LJSBC:, June 2n (Special.) Major Rocades, of the Portuguese army, who has Just returned here after commanding a victorious expedition against the Gua mada tribes, has made some very remark able disclosures concerning tdavery car ried on by the Boers . in Angola. He as serts that the Boers, who have a sepa rate colony to then4elves. continually make excursions to the Interior in alli ance with neighboring native tribes and capture all negroes they can lay their hands on. They describe their prisoners as "spoils of war." The natives are brought down to the coast by the Boers and are there sold to the Portuguese "native reeruiting sta tions" at prices ransliii from ?70 to SloO per head. It is evident that the Portu guese authorities are connlvant, for they allow the Boers to carry on the slave traffic on Portuguese territory, and even buy the natives from them. It seems that thousands of natives are sold an nually, the Boera making large proflu.
