Niagara Fi MURDER BY ORDER Williams Claims His Captain Told Him to Shoot Twigg. The Canal Homicide—Victim and His Slayer in the Same Bui The Prisoner's Attitude. The slayer of W. H. Twigg, who was shot on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal towpath yesterday afternoon, as stated in a Star postscript, about 2:30 o'clock, was captured an hour and a half later. He proved to be Frank Williams, a colored boy, hardly twenty years of age. He was employed on the canal boat Ivy City as 4 mule driver and ,man-of-all-work. Twigg had asked fer passage dn the Ivy City from Georgetown to Cumberiand. His re- quest was granted. As the boat moved slowly up the stream she met the scow of the canal company, used to dredge the great trough. As the canal boat appreach- ed Twigs, it ts claimed, stepped on the scow with a whip belonging to the captain in his hand. The colored boy saw him and told the captain. The boat was stopped ond the boy sent. after the whip. Accord- ing to the-story of W! ms, as told in his cell to a Star reporter, he passei to the scow, where Twigg was then seated, and asked politely for the whip. It was refused. He asked several times without success md then went beck to the captain. The tain called out: “If you don’t get that whip I'll shoot you.’ ‘The bey started again, this time in a de- termined way. He claims that as. soon as Twigg saw htm, he (the white man) ad- vanced with a long-bladed knife. He again went. baek.to the captain, who gave him a gun and told him to shoot. He went forth at first tremulously, but kept on over the scow and to the towpath, which ‘Twigg hed reached. Here, he says, Twisg rushed at him with the knife, and he fired full into his stomaeh.- As soon as the shot was firea and the man fell the negro went back deliberately to Ivy City, by jumping on the scow. He handed the sod he had used to Capt. = neberger. had better run no’ captain sald. Hadn't T better give — self up*" the boy replied. “No, break for it," came the answer. Tien the boy was handed $1.25, about ore-third of what was due him for work, end he bolted. By this time the attention of several had been attracted by the noise and they immediately started off after the boy, whe raa up the towpath. Fore- most among the followers was W. T. Richards, the “bess” on the dredging scow. ‘The boy saw he was being pursued and ran for dear life. He realized before he had gone far that he would be overtaken, and turning from the tewpath he rushed down the hill into the marshy land near the out- let lock. He was caught there in the mud and feund that he could proceed only witn difficulty. He stopped then to rest. A moment later his pursuers came up and sighted him. Sergt. Haney and Officers Brown and Finnelly, who had joined the followers, took charge of him. He offered no resistance. The patrol waS summoned and he was brought to. the station. His victim had been brought there about two hours before and placed im the morgue, almost beneath his cell. He lay «n a board, his body covered with an old white spread, his feet protruding, his shoes full of blood. Williams is short and round headed. His teeth are loug and full of ridges—unusua! looking. His eyes are dull. He talks m chanically. His face is full end lac’ . His ers are long and wrinkled. When ‘The Star maa approached his cel! he was lying prone on his fece, probably half asleep. He arcse and come to the grated door at the second callirg. He was not remorseful—not talkative. Questions were answered when ptt, though most of them had to be revected. Meanings were scem- ingly grasped slowly. He was scantily clothed, his trousers, full of the mud of the vaviag been taken off acd hung in No tremor was noticed when he his crime. He seoms to be devoid of all sénsitiveness. There is more of the animal than man in the fellow. He seems to be alnost uncon- sclous of the seriousness of his position and does rot realize, apparently, what he has done. He talked of the crime last evening to a reporter as If he were telling the most commonplace incidents. He appears to be exceelingly ignorant and hard of under- stancing. Answers had to. be drilled from him. He said he was from some unintelli- gible place shout twenty miles. from Co- lumbia, 8. C. He had worked on a farm there. Both parents were dead. He had three sisters, but had not seen them for years, nor did -he know-‘here they were. On leaving South Carolina he had worked his way up the coast with the circus show of Barnum & Bailey. He left it.in Wash- ington and went to Cumberland, after hav- ing failed to get work in Pittsburg. He did not leave the circus voluntarily. He was dropped because he wes not needed. In Cumberland he secured a jdB with Capt. Linneberer of the canal boat Ivy City, en- aged in coal transportation. Twigg was probably twenty-six or twen- ty-seven years of age. When shot he was very shabbily dressed. His features are clear-cut and rather handsome, though his tkin is dark, rather of an olive complexion. His hair is curly and of a rich black. His nome is tattoed in large blue letters on his right arm below the elbow The stomach was horribly torn by the leader. bullets, which bored their way in. ‘They made noles as large as sluys. Twigs, it is said, had been working for Taylor Reid, the canal captain. He was employed on the boat Mertens. He had but left Reid’s employment that day. His father is John Twigg, who resides at lock 61 on ihe canal, his post office address being Pawpaw, Md. The coroner yesterday, late, ordered the removal of the dead man's body to the sixth precinct morgue, where there are fa- cilities for preserving it. The inquest will be held at 3 o'clock today. As soon as Captain Linneberger's part in the crime was discovered, through the boy’s story, efforts were at once made to overtake him. MM #10. Gien and Geneva.

NO SMOKING, An Order ed Today by Health Officer Woodward. An order was issued by Health Officer Woodward this morning and circulated among the employes of the department for their signatures. While the order is not intended to correct the habits of the clerks, and inspectors permanently it may have that effect. The order will, however, have the effect of saving many of them a few nickels, for it reads: “That no employe of the health’ depart- ment shall be permitted to smoke while on oficial duty.” The employes, clerks, inspectors and oth- ers attached their initials to the ddcu- ment, and as they are supposed to be on official duty from 9 to 3 in summer and an hour later in winter, with the exception of lunch time, some of those addicted to the habit will miss what they have hereto- fore enjoyed as a luxury. Just’ why the order was Issued is not ex- plained, but it is thought it resulted from some of th: clerks smoking In the office while attending to their duties. ‘6 > EXCURSIONS...

Yesterday afternoon in the Poii%@ Court in. the case of Mrs. Minnie Bergmann, charged with keeping her bar at 2003 14th Street’ open on Sunday, Policeman: Gela+ bert concluded his evidence after The Star's report closed. He told of his conduct while in the: fourth precinct, and informed the court of his reasons, also saying he had taken the pledge. o-iawyer Shillington made an argument for his client, dwelling upon the evidence of Policeman Gelabert, and referring to the }evidence given to break down his..testi- mony. He frequently reminded the jury of Gelabert’s own evidence concerning thé part he took in the raid on Frank Hal's saloon, which did not take place, and asked ‘the jury io disregard his testimony: Dur: | ing the course of his argument he said he thought the fact that Mrs. Bergmann's em- Ployes were in the place cleaning up after Saturday night's business should not be held against her. Mr. Pugh, for the District, made an earn- est appeal to the jury. He sald it was a sad spectacle to see officers come into court and swear against their brother officers, a’) |-had been done in both courts in one. day, and he thought that some action by per- sons other than the judges was necessary. In his argument he endeavored to rob the ease of any s;mpathy for the woman,..the result of the attack on Officer Gelabert, and claimed a conviction on the evidence: given for the defense. The lew, he argued, pro- Vides that the piace must be closed, and It certainly was not closed when these people, a or not, were in the place om Sun- Juége Mills sustaived Mr. Pugh’s idea ot the k.w, and Mrs. Bergmann was convicted. mage gave notice of a motion for a Pousenan Herbert, who was mentioned as the oid officer who enticed Officer Gela- bert to a drinking piace, and started him on the wrong track, deries the statement of Gek bert. The transactioa in connecticn with the raid which did aot take place will be fur- ther investigated. A though the evidence in court showed what was dore, and that some of Gelabert’s superior officers were aware of it, Maj. Mocre knew nothing of tt entil he read the account of the trial in yesterday's Star. Remarkable Criticism, The efficiency of the police force came up in Judge Taylor's court this morning, when Prosecuting Attorney Pugh cpenly stated that the police were dissatistied with the court's disposition of some of care: He raid that the court, of cours: so well acquainted with the reg and the fact that meny of them had been discharged not only dissatisfied them, but the and the policeman’s complaint, the judge said he intended to do justice to every- bedy. “Even the humblest man or wo- man brought here will get the same con- sideration that is given persons in better standing,” and then the judge repeated that he would do his duty irrespective of com- plaints. Laselle got fifteen days. Just before the adjournment of court Judge Taylor sail yesterday he had dis- pcsed of a case without time for reflection, and he was now ready to make amends. He referred to the arrest of Sam Newton, one of Sergt. Daley's colored co-workers, not a memter of the force. “I am satistied,” he said, “that the ar- rest was not made in the interest of justice. “And,” he added, “on my own motion and not because of solicitation on part of any other person, I am going to set aside the senterce of, personal bonds and grant a The charge against Newton is in .Newton’s. case read, “ nitely "as the defendant was not in court.” x 1 Marriage Licenses.

Moses & Sons which is in keeping with the liberal policy which has contributed so much to the unanimity of sentiment and sympathy which exists in that establishment between the proprietors and their assistants. Every clerk in the establishment is allowed fifteen days’ leave of absence on full pay. In past years it has been i. custom to allow clerks prac- Ucally 4s ..uch vacation time as they de- sired on hal€ pay. The firm finding thet their employes would prefer a shorter va- cation on full pay felt that thetr Joint in- terests would be benefited by the change. In consequence of the absence of a number of the employes under this arrangement the firm has found it necessary to keep open evenings until 6 o'clock in order that the work of each day could be accomplish- ed. For this reason this store ts not closed at 5.o’clock daily in accordance with the prevailins custom. SED 09RO S909 6569 96559505 05 % ROYAL discouraged them. Mi.
