HOW DEFENDANTS IN CRIMINAL CASES ARE PLUCKED, AND JUSTICE 18 DEFEATED. “You have been publishing in your paper a good deal that Judge Snell has been saying lately about the ‘runners’ and ‘straw bondsmen’ around the Police Court,” remarked a colored man to a STaR reporter to-day, “but you don’t begin to know the full extent of the tusiness. I was in the business myself, but I cut loose from it when Judge Snell made it 60 hot for us some time ago. “Then, to0, these shyster lawyers—some of them my own color—were getting 80 mean that they beat us out of our molety, ff we were not pretty cute, and consequently there was, and fs, constant wrang- ling.” Scelng a possibility of learning something 0: the true inwardness of this nefarious business, the reporter induced the ex-defeater of the ends of Justice, with an offer of as much watermelon as h> could eat, to tell hisexperience a8 a “capper” and procurer of “straw ball.” WHAT “CAPPERS” ARE PAID, “When the Police Cour,” he said, “was moved up here where it !s now—s2veral years ago—there were only two of us ‘runners’ who worked for lawyers. At that time the lawyers only patd thelr ‘runners’ twenty-five cents for each case they got for them, and we made good wages at that. Now the ‘runuer’ gets halt of the fee, no matter what it Js, and can’t make inuch ut it either, because there are 30 many in the business. I have seer the ime when I could pick up $60. week around here. The fee of a ‘runner’ now ts $2.50 out of $5, butif a fellow don’t watch and see the lawyer get tne money he don't get acent. Youcan see a crowd of them on tie corner opposite the court-house at 6 o’-lock tn the morning, with tueir lunches" They have to work hard now to rake $10.a week. They have thelr headquarters in the law building next to the court, where they eat thelr lunches and compare notes. I have often been asked by the shyster lawyers to take care of their rooms, as a mere blind for hunting up cases for them, but I preferred to sell my cases to the party that yave me the highest price for them, and be under obil- ations to no One, There was fairer dealing when was in the business. Nol Jt 1s worse than the ‘thre2-card-monte’ swindle. Sometimes we would get the best of the lawyers for cheating us. We would find a customer and tell her—for we pre- ferred females to deal with—that we could get her a lawyer for $2, if she would give us $2 for our- selves. When tue case was tricd we got 75 cents out of the $2, and then we had $2.75 for our services and the lawyer $1.25 for his.” HOW THE VICTIMS ARE FLEECED. “What was your general mode of procedure,” inquired the reporter. “Tell me just how you vorked a Case, from the ground right up.” Well,” was the reply, “we generally approach prisoners la this man Tt it 1s a female we call her ‘sister;’ 1f a young fellow, we say “hello, old tellow’; and if an old inan, ‘how do you do, my brother.’ Then we say, ‘I suppose you are going into court to spend some more money,’ and. they’ teli us what they are charged with. We feel them to see If they have any money, and, if they have, we say, ‘I'll do the best I can for you. I'll cet anol frlehd of mine who used to do busi= hess for me to derend you.’ They generally agree to this, and then we hitroduce the victim to the lawyer, Who ressives him with all the courtesy imaginable, and we watt around to see the tee pald the atioraey so that he can’t deny that he Is paid wien we ask for our share.” STRAW BAIL, “Now about straw bonds; how ts that part of the business done?” “Tere is not much business done In the straw bond business by the runners now,” was the reply, “because these lawyers are giving bail for thelr clients. We used to charge $10 for furnishing a vagrancy bond of $2) and made big money out of 1. A colored man who goes on so many bonds sre 13 a hard fellow to deal with; he won't divy. We know all the policy men and all tie other crooked men, and Ihave got as high as $100 for a sitw bond la this court, and then saw the party off at the depot and Knew he was not coming back. Times were good then and I used to make $200 ‘amonth, but I haven't got any of it now. ‘The fellows we got to go the security were not afraid of losing anything, because they never collzct any forfetred bail bend here; but they used to swear that their property was not encumbered when it was, but they were never taken up for perjury, either.” “You wauldn’t object to making $100 on a bond yet?” suggested Tue Srar man. “Oh, no;” was the reply. “I am tn the bond business yet, but I don't do any capping for lawyers.” Ai Soi Discussing Civil Rights. A FEW OF THE FAITHFCL MERT AND DETERMINE TO HOLD ANOTHER MEETING—SOME REMARKS FROM MESSRS. MOSS AND CARS ‘The meeting of colored citizens which was held last week in the Virginia avenue Baptist church to cons1i er the subject, of civil rights, adjourned untll last evening. There were, perhaps, a hut doken who made titir appearaneo at the’caurch last evening at the appointed hour, but none ot those who Were prominent in the ‘last meeting. Those iat came waited patiently, and about nine o'clock the sexton of the cilurch stated that Rev. Mr. Laws, who was e of tho: who favored an adjourned meeting, had bee! calied unexpectedly to Pittsbuig. Upon thls intor- mation It was suggested that they had better not try to hold a meeting, “Last weck It was half- ast mine before we got together, so let us walt a. ittle longer,” urged a patient brotier. A few more cuine In thé church, including some women, and athalf-past nine o'clock Mr. John A. Moss called eting to order and asked that 4 secretary potated. ral Rimes were sugzested, Dut tnose named declined the honor with much persis- tence. PERRY CARSON ACCEPTS. Finally Perry Carson was nominated. “Oh he won't accept,” called out a discouraged member. “Since I have been put out of office,” responded Mr. Carson, smiling good naturedly about. the room, ‘I suppose that I will accept anything.” ‘Thereupon Mr, Carson was nominated, elected and quickiy tocated Ina large arm-chair near the presiding officer. COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE FOR A MASS MEETING. The chairman sald that it had been suggested that the best plan would be to appoint a commit- tce to arrange ior u grand mas3 meeting, and a motion to this effvet Was made and carried. The followlug were appeinted:—Perry Carsen, chatr~ man; A."T. John:on, H. E. Brown, G. M. Arnold, Kev. Ro It Laws, Wm. Ostorne, Charles H. Mar: shall, J. B. Johnson, E. M. Hewlett, D. W. Lewis, Jane's Garner, 'T. B. wick, C. W. Davis, John Shippen, David Grim ‘MR. MOSS EXPLAINS, After this business was disposed of the chatr- man extended an invitation touny one who wished to speak to address the meeting. A man in the Year arose and asked if any one could explain the purpose of this meeting or what was done at the last. Mr. Moss obligingly furnished the desired Informatton and then went on to correct some mis- statements of what he had been reported to have said at the last mecting. Me said that he hoped at the next meeting that the subject of the poilties condition of the colored people would be consid- cred. He thought that nis race ought not to re- matn any longer as the wards of any poiltical party. He regretted the fact that asa rule the color of their skin was an index of thelr political opinions, As for Limself,he considered himself bound by n . party, but would vote for men. MR. CAKSON BELIEVES IN STICKING TO THE REPUBLI- CAN PARTY. Mr. Perry Carson followed in a speech in which he labored to correct what he considered the heretical tdeas advanced by Mr. Moss, He said that Mr. Moss had reason to complain, but It was not of the republican party. but of some of tne men in the party. “It tue President of the United States,” continued Mr. Carson, “should appoint men tooftice who proscribe u3 because we are black, the republican party does not injure us but tlie President, and he is not the party. I be- Leve in sticking to the old party. If you wake me up at half-past 1 in tue morning,” exclaimed Mr. Carson tn conclusion, “1 can tcli what party I be- long to.” When Mr, Carson had concluded Rey. Mr. Smith, who fs the hero in the recent evil rights case, made a brief address, and then the meeting was adjourned. ———— FINED FOR DEFACING PxivaTe PROPERTY.—ThIS morning In the Police Court a boy named Harry Newman pleaded guilty to defacing private prop- erty—smearing paint‘on a fence. Mr. John Cas- sell, of 7th street and Maryland avenue, stated that hig fence, which 1s white and Upped with green, had a streak palnted on it for a distance of several yards.

A Fiona Currosity.—The old sage palm, ¢ cas Revoluta.” belonging to Mrs. Kennon, of G-orgetown, (on Congress street, just above West,) 4s going to bloom for the second time, and the flower bud is a vegetable wonder. The bud rises from the middie of the top of the stem and ts about five inches in diameter and nine Inches long, with the top part rounded and swelled to six inches across. It may last a bud for a few days, but any one that wishes to see it ought to see It a8 soon as possible. Mrs. Kennon’s mother, who was a grand- daughter of Mrs. General Washington, brouzht the plant when young from Pratt’sgarden in Phil- adelphia sometime tn 1815 to 1818. It is sixty-three inches high to the flower bud and ten inches thick, with about seventy stiff leaves growing all round the upper eighteen inches‘of the stem. “Mrs. Ken- hon Says that Mr. Smith, superintendent of the Botanical Garden, told her a few days ago that the famous ship that brought the tea which the Bostonians cast into the sea fn old times, brought, also, three plants of the Cyeas Revoluta,and that one of them went to Philadelphia. Mrs Keanon thinks the plant may be an offspring of the above. Mrs. Kennon, formerly Miss Brittanfa Peter, is the daughter of Miss Custis, sister to the late Was! ington Parke Custis, the former owner of Arling- ton, and who died several years before the late war.
