The Crime for Which a Young Colored ‘Woman Will Have to Answer. Susan Grabam, a young colored woman who is employed as a servant at house No. 1682 15th street, was arrested yesterday by Policeman Olmstead of the third precinct on a charge of infanticide, Her condition was such that she had to be removed to Freedman’s hospital, pending an investigation of the charge against her. Susan was taken ill yesterday afternoon and her employer went for » physician, During his absence Susan disappeared and went into the adjoining house. She, however, returned to her employer's house before the latter got back. She was still ill and a cab was called to convey her to her home. She told the driver tolet her out on L street near 2ist. The driver was paid in advance and he did as Susan re- quested him. She did not want the vehicle to go to her house, for she evidently did not want the cab driver to know where she went, Mean- while the occupants of her employer's house heard the voice of an infant erying and then for the first time they suspected some- wrong. A search was made for the infant, but as the young one ceased crying no one was able tc find it. Later the dead ood of the infant was found under a box in the cellar of the adjoming house. Po- liceman Olmstead was made acquainted with the facts and he at once went in search of the missing woman. She was found at No. 7 Alex- ander court, near where she had alighted from the cab, The woman was too ill to be locked up. and upon a certificate given by Dr. Morgan @ was sent to Freedman’s hospital. The cor- ouer was notitied of the death, Susan is about twenty years old, and according to the infor- mation received by the police she is not mar- ried. The infant is nearly white. The jury summoned to make an investiga- tionof ‘the case met at the third precinct station at3 o'clock this afternoon and pro- ceeded to take testimony concerning th dsati: of the infant. ne OUT OF HIS MIND. The Wanderings of a Washington Man While Suffering With Insanity. The friends of William M. Porter of this city, whose arrest in Belfast was announced in yesterday's dispatches, were glad to know that he had at last turned up. Mr. Porter has had @ singular career. He has been in the regular army, was subsequently aclerk in the War department and has been for some time in the pension office, where he is still employed as a special examiner. He is a man of regular habits and good character and has a large number of friends as well as an interesting family. He has the misfortune at lon intervals of becoming insane. At suc times his delusion is that he is pursued and must get away to a place of safety aud also that he has at hiscommand large sums of money. The result is that when he has one of these attacks he issues checks with great liberality and is constantly traveling. He was taken sick in May last while he was on duty i North Carolina, He went to various places, hoping to regain his health, and while making hb way by gradual hin 2 back to this city he beeame worse. When he reached this city his wife and friends recog- nized the fact that he was insane, but. hoping that he would recover, they did not attempt to confine him in an asylum. All at once he dis- appeared. His wife ascertained that be had taken passage on the Umbria and then the dispatch appeared statin, that he was under arrest in Belfast, charge with obtaining money under false pretences. The dispatch adds: ‘Porter arrived on the Umbria and first made himself known by at- tempting to borrow money from Consul General New on the plea that he had arrived in London after the banks were closed. Since Porter's arrest a letter has been received at the consulate from his wife asking for information about him. She says he has recently become insane and was under the eare of a physician and an at- tendant, from whom he escaped two weeks ago. She ascertained that he had sailed on the Um- bria and, as he was penniless, she wrote to the consulate to look after him. His baggage had been held by the steamship company, as the draft he gave for his passage proved to be worthless. The consul general bolieve that Porter is insane and steps will be taken to se- cure his return to America, This is the third attack of insanity which Porter has had. When he recovered from the first attack he found to his rise that he was @ cook on an ocean steamer. ow he got there he was unable to tell. The next time he found bimseif on the Island of Mauritius, ALEXANDRIA, Reported for the EVENING STAR. WasHINGTONIANS ARRESTED.—Lieut. Smith and officers Arrington, Bellis, Jones, Ticer and Sherwood vesterday evening made a sudden raid upon Mansey’s rooms in the rear of his establishment on Prince street between Lee and Union streets.

TEE TESTIMONY TAKEN TO-DAY—THE EFFECT OF 4 BLOW ON THE NOSE FROM 4X UMBRELLA— DOCTORS AGREE THAT BRIGHT'S DISEASE WAB ‘TRE FATAL MALADY. Getarday afternoon, after the autopsy made on the body of Gen. Theodore 8. West, as pub- lished in Saturday's Stax, a coroner's jury was summoned to hear evidence and determine the cause of death. The jury was composed of L. Moxley, Alfred John §. Harkness, Dr. A. H. Taylor, William L. Rose and M. H. Morris. The jury viewed the body at Speare’s undertaking establishment and adjourned un- til today, This morning at 11 0’clock the Jury assembled at the first precinct station, THE ASSAULT WITH THE UMBRELLA, Philip Holmes, a colored man employed st the Langham hotel, was the first witness called. He testified that on July 6, the even- ing of the alleged assault upon Gen, West by Mr. Raffin, the latter came. to the hotel and asked to see Gen. West. Witness showed him to the general and Ruffin said that he wanted to pay . Eaton's bill. Gen. West made out the bill which was for ton dollars and some cen‘s. Mr. Ruffin wanted the general to change ® figure in the bill, but latter refused and some words passed between them. Gen. West said: “I don’t want you to insult me in my own office, You had better get out and leave the bill for Mr. Eaton to pay.” Gen, West then threw the bill on the desk and walked to the front of the counter and said: “Get out of my office; I don’t want any trouble with you.” Mr, Ruffin then struck the general with an umbrella whick he held in both hands. Witness relieved Mr, Ruffin of the umbrella and then the men clinched. Wheto 3 the trouble witness said that Gen/ West told Ruffin that he - had some trouble in settling his own account and he had better let Eaton settle his own bill. When Gen. West received the blow he staggered, but did not fall to the floor. ‘THE EXTENT OF THE INJURY. Dr. G, G, Morris, who was called upon to at- wound on the left side of the nose, The lip of the nose was cut so badly that witness had to ut in a stitch at the base and one at the lip of e nose. The wound was bleeding freely. The general, he said, was very nervous. Wit- ness aw no symptoms of concussion of the brain, but the patient complained of the pain- fulness of the wound. Two days later witness redressed the wound. The patient was still confined to his room. His face was badly swollen, as witness coe from the blow of the umbrella handle, ‘hen witness was with him the general related the story of the as- sault, which, he said, was not a provoked one, but was cowardly, as he was about walking away when the blow was inflicted. Was the nose broken?” asked Juror Moxley. “No, sir,” was the doctor's reply. Witness continuing said he thought the gen- eral was confined to his room about a week. He complained of a pain in his face. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE ASSAULT. | W. C. Davis, who witnessed the assault, testi- fied that he saw Gen. West and Rufiin talking. The former came from behind the counter as witness thought to eject Mr. Ruffin from the hotel. As Gen. West approached him Ruffin struck him with an umbrella. The general told Ruffin to leave the hotel, which he did ina few minutes, “What made you think that the general was | going to put ner. “From his manner,” replied witness. “He | supsered to beangry. I don’t remember his ga | When fuyther questioned witness said that after the b&w was inflicted both men seemed to rush toward each other. “Did you separate them?” asked the coro- ner. “No, sir.” replied the witness, ‘it seemed to | me = though they separated of their own ac- | cord.” “In what room did the affair take place?” the coroner asked. “In the hotel office,” replied the witness, “Did they clinch before or after the blow was strack?” “Afterward.” THE MEDICAL TESTIMONY. Dr. D. 8. Lamb, who assisted in making the autopsy, testified that the most important ap- pearauce at the autopsy was that of the kid- neys, They were found to be in such a condi- tion as is cA result of Bright's disease, ‘The | examination of the head showed no sign of in- jury except the scar on the head. ly opinion | a8 to the cause of death would be,” said the | ee ‘hat he died of Bright's disease of the idne: In answer to a question by the coroner wit- ness said that a person suffering from Bright's disease may die suddenly; that is, within si to twenty-four hours, ‘itness did not tl that a blow such as was inflicted by Ruffin would hasten the death of a man suffering | from Bright's disease. The coroner explained that he asked the question at the suggestion of a friend of Gen. West. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer testified to the au- topsy aud described the condition of the wound on the face. The wound was so completely healed, he said, that unless Dr. Morris had been present and pointed it out it would have becn difficult to have found it. Witness bop Se that kidney disease fully ac- counted for the death of Gen. West. Witness thought the effect of excitement on an al- ready debilitated patient would probably ex- erciso an unfavorable influence over tLe patient, even though no blow was inflicted, It would be impossible, he said, to say with certainty that the assault had anything to do with Gen. West's death, AN OLD COMPLAINT. Surgeon General Hamilton testified that he | wasat one time Gen. West's attending physician, Gen. West, he said, came under his care in 1835. He was then suffering from chronic | Bright's disease. He was at that time very sick and witness hardly expected him to recover. He got better and was appointed to a position in California, when witness lost sight of bim. The general afterward told him that he ha had recurren:es of his trouble while in Califor- nia, Witness was present at the autopsy. The membrance of the brain were per- | fectly healthy so far as appearances | 0. There was no fracture and it was evident | that death was the result of the kidney trouble. He thought that such a blow as inflicted would not have any bearing on the disease. Excitement might precipitate convulsions, if the convulsions did not occur within five or anything to do with the death, GEN. WEST'S PARTNER. Col. C. C. Larfler, who was Gen. West's part- ner in the hotel business, testified that on the Mr. Ruffin out?” asked the coro- | 16th of June he sold a small interest in his | business to Gen. West because he was a bright, active man, Witness went away and when he returned the general was a total wreck. Witness told of the general's strange actions about the hotel sul juent to his re- ceiving the injury to his He went to sp oe and when he returned he had to be assisted up the steps, “One thing that { preyed upon the general's mind,” said the wit- ness, ‘wus the statement made by Ruffin that it only cost $10 to knock a general down in the United States.” Dr. Schaffer was again questioned and he ex- preseed surprise that Gen. West lived as long as he did, suffering as he was in 1885. RUFFIN EXONERATED, The jury returned a verdict in which they found that Gen. West's death was the result of Bright's disease of the kidneys and they were unable to connect the assault with the death. Sterling Butlin, the young man who assaulted Gen. West and who was subsequently arrested on a charge of manslaugter, was not present at ine Tohen of manslaughter now pending ir against Bafin in the Police Court will peobebly be nolle prossed, as the verdict exonerates him of the charge. - GEN.
