Dye was chief of police, and to which reference has been made in The Star since the recent shooting of Willis Washington by Officer Terry, read as follows: “The attention of the force is called to the necessity of observing more care in the use of the pistol. “I am glad to say that the instances of carelessness brought to my notice have been very rare. But even these rare cases should be eliminated from the service, for | the lives of innocent parties are at stake. The pistol is in the hands of officers almost | exclusively for self-defense against desper- ate characters. Even against them it should be used only in the urgent cases, and in such manner that the lives of innocent parties be not jeopardized thereby. “Heresfter, a wanton disregard of life by an officer in the careless use of a pistol will not only subject him to a trial before the committee, but will deprive him of the arm in the future. “It may be added that the pistol should never be drawn unless the officer be justi- fied in using it; never drawn, much less discharged, for purposes of intimidation.” The Washington case recalls the number | of alleged reckless shooting cases in which officers did the shooting and for which the | law has been so plainly laid down by Judge Miller. Mr. Mallowney’s Views. Mr. Alexander R. Mullowney, the prose- cuting attorney, who has figured in the prosecution of such cases, said to a Star reporter. “An officer has no right to use his pistol under any circumstances until he has used all reasonable means, diligence and caution to carry out and maintain his authority. If, in the preservation of the peace of the com- munity, as, for imstance, a riot, circum- stances show it necessary to take life, it will be justifiable for him to do so; aiso in defense of his own life, or when he or any one else is in danger of great bodily harm. | Sewell, In an altercation with his prisoner he need not retreat, for it is his duty to maintain his arrest, but he has not the right to use violence upon any slight insult or resist- ance. An officer should not forget that he is a public servant, and when a prisoner in- sults and curses him, he should not seek revenge and club the prisoner, for it is not his personality, but the authority which he exercises that is cursed and insulted. wi Be Marder. “If a felony or a penitentiary offense h: been committed and an officer attempts to arrest the party and he runs, and the offi- cer, after having used every means to effect the capture and as a last resort shoots and engaged in making a few repairs and aiter- ations in the Blaine mansion, on Lafayette Square, and their presence has given rise to more than a little curiosity as to the fate of this famous old house during tne coming season. Many inquiries have been made of the people about the place, but the answers received were for the most part rather unsatisfactory. It now de- velopes, and the statement is made on gooa authority, that the house will be occupiea by Mrs. Blaine herself and her family. They are expected to spend the winter here, though of course it will be some time before any of them will be seen at eli in social life. The Frenc> Club held a most enjoyabie Friday evening at the Robert Christy, hose daughter has re- cently become a member of the ‘ercie.”” The program included some banjo play- ing. a humorous piece entitled “Autrefois,” by M a and a reading by Miss Kosa 0 gave a cleve Mark Twain's humorous. tory. “is Me Living or is He Dead?” A) those pres- ent were Monsieur Buynitzki, . and Miss Sewell, Gen. Palmer, Mrs. Bertha L. Merrill, Mr. and “Miss Becker, Miss Rich- ards and Mr. Xander. The club will meet on Friday evening next at the residence of Miss Richards, on Rhode Island avenue. Mrs. David W. Watt of Janesville, Wis., is visiting Mrs. J. D. King, at 122 Sth Street northeast, for a few days. Mrs. and Miss Cullen, who have been abroad for the past two years, have re- turned to Washington and will spend the winter at their house on K street. Miss Abbott of Minnesota, who is a sis- ter of Mrs. Lochren, is with Judge anda Mrs. Lochren at the Arno for the winter. Mrs. J. W. Wagner, 502 Florida avenue, has her father, Mr. —— Brow! spend- ing the winter with h et Mrs. Weaver of wrest Royal, and Mrs. Henry Yates of Warrenton, va. guests of Auditor and Mrs. Petty. Sets ig The cori of Mrs. M. A. Gibbons win that she ts rapidly recent severe ac- be pleased learn convalescing f from her cident. Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Merrill are at the Hotel Richmond for the winter. Church of the Reformation, Capitol Hill, gave @ very pleasant entertainment. ‘The lecture room of the church was well filled with the members and their friends. During the evening the following program was rendered: Piano solo, Miss Taylor; zither solo, Mr. Frank; recitation, Miss kills, he will be justified, but not so in mis- | 1Te®¢ Deis; piano solo, Miss Frank; recita- demeanors or petty offenses. In this class of cases the officer is not justified, under any circumstances, in killing or of using his pistol in any manner whatever, except, of course, in defense of his life; and when an officer attempts to arrest a person for a petty offense, such as suspicious charac- ter, vagrancy, drunk and disorderly, pro- fanity, simple assaults and other offenses of like character, and he kills him while pursu- ing him, it will be murder or manslaughter, according to the circumstances of the case. “If the offense has not occurred in his presence or view and he arrests without a warrant, he undertakes to do an unlawful act,” continued Mr. Mullowney, “and if he shoots to kill the person while pursuing him, it will be what is cailed book murder, but anyway manslaughter. If he has warrant and he shoots and kills without pursuing or using diligence to effect the capture, it will be murder, because the law imputes to him such a depraved, reckless and malignant nature and such an utter disregard for human life that it presumes that he intended to kill when he fired. If he used every means at hand to capture the fleeing person and to accomplish the cap- ture, and then shoots and kills him, it will be manslaughter, only because he had no apparent intention of killing, but in shoot- ing, nevertheless, was doing an unlawful act. Life Too Precious. “The law abhors and sternly reprimands officers in using their pistols to effect ar- rests for this class of offenses. Life is too precious, not only to the fleeing party, but to citizens who happen to be in the street, to be taken by such means or put in jeopar- dy to effect the capture of such an offender. It is always better to let him escape if the officer's legs are not fast enough to overtake him. An officer has a right to make an ar- rest for a penitentiary offense, without a warrant, upon reasonable suspicion -that such an offense has been committed, but when he kills a person so arrested in effect- ing his capture, he must show he had just and strong grounds for believing the party such an offender to be justified. Private Ari ts. “For misdemeanors or simple jail offenses an ortlicer can only arrest without a war- rant when the offense has actually occurred | in his presence. “In private citizens using them, endea- vors to bring felons to justice, great care and caution ought to be observed. A citi- zen can arrest a felon without a warrant, but in his case he must actually know that the crime has been committed. No sus- picion, however well grounded, will bring him within the protection which the law extends to officers acting with proper au- thority if he should kill in effecting a cap- ture. He has a right to arrest without a warrant for misdemeanors committed in his presence, but of course not under any circumstances to use a pistol to effect the capture. It is a very dangerous thing under | any circumstance for a citizen to make an | arrest, as the law does not hold out to! him the same indemnity it docs to officers, | and the principle of the law is to dis- | courage private persons from proceeding to extremities upon their own private sus- picion or authority in making arrests.” Mr. Birney Talks. District Attorney Birney, when asked by a Star reporter for his views upon the ques- tion of the use of a pistol by policemen, said: “The rights and liabilities of a police ofi- cer in the use of weapons entrusted to him when making an arrest may be easily un- derstood. In making an arrest upon the charge of a misdemeanor, the officer has no right to use deadly weapons to effect the capture.
