ABSTRACT OF THE OPINION para vite a Judge McComas today delivered his opin- fon in the matter of the demurrers filed by Capt. Henry W. Howgate to the eleven in- dictments returned against him thirteen years ago. Four of the indictments al- leged forgery, the others charging em- bezzlement. Judge McComas sustained the demurrers in the forgery cases, but over- ruled those in the embezzlement cases. In making this decision Judge McComas spoke as follows: The Indictments for Forgery. “There are four indictments of the de- fendent, Howgate, for forgery. Each of these indictments contains four counts. The first indictments, Nos. 14,070, 14,071 and 14,072 are alike, except as to date and paper therein described. The first count in each avers that Henry W. How- gate did felontously, falsely, make, alter, forge and counterfeit, and cause and pro- cure to be falsely made, etc., and willfully aid and assist in falsely making, etc., a cer- tain paper purporting to be an account and a receipt (the paper being inserted in full) with intent to defraud the United States. “The second count avers that Howgate did pass, alter and publish a: tain false, forged and counterfeited paper, partly in writing and partly in print, pur- porting to be an deccount against the United States, and a receipt of the same (and again the paper ts set out in full) knowing the same to be so falsely made, ete., and with intent to defraud the United States. he third count avers that Howgate having in his custody and possession a certain paper purporti:g to be an account against the United States (the paper is set cut in full) unlawfully and feloniously did forge and counterfeit, and cause and pro- cure to be forged and counterfeited, a re- ceipt for the amount of said pretended ac- count against the United States (the paper being again inserted) with intent to de- fraud the United States. “The fourth count avers that Howgate having in his custody and possession a pa- per purporting to be an account against the United States (the paper being set out in full) afterward did unlawfully and fe- loniously forge and counterfeit the name of R. H. Rochester, treasurer of the West- ern Union Telegraph Company, to a re- ceipt attached to said paper in the form of an account (the paper being inserted in full) with intent to defraud the United States. “The indictment No. 14,106 contains four count: and the first, third and fourth count: bstantially make the same aver- ments, as are made in the first, third and fourth counts in the first three indict- ments. Each set forth an alleged account and receipt, and the name alleged to be forged is that of H. D. Sayre. The second count is admitted to be bad, because it omits the essential Ingredient that the de- fendant altered the paper ‘knowing the same to be falsely made, altered, forged and counterfeited.’ Each of these tndict- ments contains a sufficient averment of time and place,.and each of them con- cludes ‘against the form of the statute.’ Demurrer Sustained. “The demurrer to each count of each in- dictment must be sustained, because all are bad. The first count in each indict- ment appears to charge several distinct offenses, and to charge each of them in- sufficiently. Among other errors it avers that the defendant altered the paper, but omits to state the alteration, and sets forth the paper without the alteration. “The offenses at which the statute is aim- ed are similar to the common law of- fenses of forging and altering forged paper. Had the pleader regarded this con- sideration, other errors in these counts might have been avoided. It is not neces- sary to comment on such errors in the dif- ferent counts, because there is one fatal omission of an essential element of the crime from each of them. It is clear to the court that each of these indictments is based upon section 1157, Revised Stat- utes of the District of Columbia. There- fore, each count of each indictment is fatal- ly defective by omitting to aver that the alleged forging or altering was ‘to the prejudice of the right of any other person, body politic or corporate, or voluntary association.’ This statute makes neces- sary the averment that the specified forg- ing or altering was to the prejudice of the United States or to the prejudice of some person named in the indictment.” The court then elaborates on the defects and says: “I am constrained by the many defects therein to sustain the demurrers to each of the indictments for forgery, the same | being numbered respectively 14,070, 14,071, 14,072 and 14,076. The Indictments for Embezzlement. “There are seven indictments of this de- fendant Howgate for embezzlement, name- ly, 14,069, containing seventy-four counts; 14,101 and 14,105, each containing two counts; 14,100, 14,102, 14,103 and 14,104, each containing one count. “Except the difference of date of the al- leged offense and the amount of money mentioned these counts are each like every other. “Therefore, in considering the demurrers to these indictments for brevity I speak of all of them as one indictment. “This indictment is not skillfully framed, but it embodies the language of the stat- ute; it charges every element of the of- fense created by the statute with suflictent certainty, and gives the defendant clear notice of the charge he is called on to defend.” He then proceeds to analyze the irdictments and then says: unsel for the defendant insists that this indictment is bad, because the aver- ment that the defendant ‘did unlawfully, willfully and feloniously convert to his own use’ 1s too general and indefinite. It is urged that the indictment must state how the conversion was made; that the mode of the conversion must be set out, because the meaning of the statute id that the punishment prescrébed shall follow when the conversion is fraudulent or to the in- jury of the United States; or at least with intent to injure, or defraud the govern- ment; that this indictment fails to state any of these essential facts, and fails to state anything but a naked legal con- clusion; that it dces not set out the facts from which the court may see whether the conclusion is correct. Embezzlements by public officers are punishable under stat- utey which are not always quite the same in terms with those against private em- bezalements. Section 5485 does not make the embezzlement therein defined a larceny, so as to compel the pleader to weave into an Indictment on this statute the larceny element. The single statutory verb ‘did embezzle’ suificiently Indicates the crim- inal act, for in such statutes it is a word of settled technical meaning. “This offense of embezzlement by a dis- bursing officer 1s purely statutory, and has no relation to the common law, ‘and it is svffctent to charge the defendant with acts coming fully within the statutory de- scription in the substantial words of the statute, without any further expansion of the matter, provided the indictment also apprises the accused with reasonable cer- tainty of the nature of the accusation against him, to the end that he may pre- pare his defense and plead the judgment fn bar to any subsequent prosecution for the same offense. Contentions of Counsel. “It is further insisted that thtsindictment is defective in not describing the property embezzled. I have already adverted to the distinction between embezzlements by pub- lic officers and embezzlements by employes of private parties. In the latter cases the common law elements of larceny may be necessary to be incorporated in the indict- ment, and particulars, therefore, are requir- ed to be stated, but in the case of an em- bezzlement of public funds by @ public of- ficer, where the public has no direct per- sonal possession or oversight, and where it would ordinarily be impracticable, if not impossible, to identify the particular true, a cer-' moneys embezzled, it has been held that such particularity ts unnecessary. “It is urged as a fatal defect in this indict- ment that it is not averred that at the time of the alleged conversion the money was intrusted to the defendant os a disburs- ing officer; that it is not charged that it Was so intrusted when it was converted. The indictment alleges that the money con- verted to his own use by Howgate was ‘at the time when so as aforesaid unlawtully converted to the use of him, Henry W. Howgate, public moneys of the United States, which had been before that time (and was on the day last aforesaid) law= fully intrusted to him, the said Henry W. Howsate, in his said employment and char- acter as such dishursing officer of the United States.’ The words I have placed in parenthesis, ‘and was on the day last foresaid,” are really 41 parenthetic clause, and the allegation is that the public money converted by Howgate to his own use was at the time he converted it to his own use public moneys of the United States, which had been before that time intrusted to him in his employment and character as such disbursing orlicer. “The objection that there is no sufficient averment that the Jefendant was a dis- bursing officer of the United States is not well taken. It is not necessary to allege who appointed nim. “I will overrule the demurrer to the in- dictments numbered respectively 14,069, 1 100, 14,101, 14,102, 14,103, 14,104 and 14,105, Albaugh’s.—Camille, lachrymose and de- pressing though it be, is one of the plays on which the actress relies to establish her claims to recognition as a true artist. There is sunshine as well as shadow, smiles as well as tears, albeit even the sunshine serves only to deepen the darkness by contrast. The varying touches of mood for which the character calls make de- mands on the full technical range of an emotional actress. It has been sald that the public is weary of Camille. The same might be said concerning the Shakespearean drama if a refusal to patronize mere medi- ocre performances of it were to be regard- ed as a sweeping verdict. But a good Camille, a Camille who represents the fer- vor, the pathos, the idealized humanity of the role, will always be welcomed as she was last night when Miss Olga Nethersole made her first appearance in this city. ‘The consideration of personality ts, in a sense, a negative quantity in emotional parts. It is taken for granted that the interpreter shall have*a presence which commands interest and gympathy, for it is only to the beautiful that human nature extends its pity with unrestrained generosity. Miss Nethersole is winsome and charming with- out being a commanding beauty. She has the tenderness, the sweet dependence which constitutes one of the truest graces of womanhood. Her performance demonstrates a devotion to high standards, with a high technical finish as the result. Her elocution and her poses have been studied and pol- ished to that artistic point where effort seems to be consumed in its own intensity and disappears. England has sent many actors to this country, and Miss Nether- sole is one of the really great players that we ‘have from that source. Her Camille is an ethereal creation, as it could not fail to be if intelligence and dramatic capabilities were present in its interpretation. . The character is by no means a type; the no- bility of sentiment, the delicacy of soul could not be combined with her career only in rare cases. In this cese as in that of Hamlet it is the intense individuality of the character that makes it sublime. Miss Nethersole has succeeded in drawing with delicate fervor and intense feeling the expiation, which, when met with fortitude, becomes almost herowm. She was com- petently supported, the company affording a smooth production without in any par- ticular case, excepting that of the star, rising to extraordinary strength. The Academy of Music.—Lew Dockstader perhaps in some respects the cleverest man in the minstrel profession, made a decided hit at the Academy of Music last night, and caused a good-sized audience to Jaugh heartily at his parody on “Sweet Marie,"" in which there were bright drives at statesmen and ‘other prominent people. He also made many neat local allusions, which caused great merriment. Mr. Dock- stader, though a host in himself, is sur- rounded by an excellent company and the program is interesting and entertaining from beginning to end. The opening scene is effective, and Frank Dumont, Wm. A. Galpin, Bert. Flatt, Chas. Sharp, C. J. Cur- tis, Harry Leighton, Symonds and Hughes all do some gcod work. Dockstader and Frank H. White do a combined specialty “I Don't See How You Stand It,” and **Take Back the Engagement Ring” is very fun- ny, as is also the “Scene in a Music Store’ by Sharp %nd Flatt. There is clever danc- ing. by Symonds, Hughes and Rastus, and the acrobatic work of the three Marvelles is really great. The Manhattan Quartet also made a hit and the whole perform- ance Is one of the best given by a min- strel troupe in this city in a long time. Damrosch Lecture.—The sale of seats for Walter Damrosch’s lecture shows that there will be a large audience at Metzer- ott’s Music Hall tomorrow night to greet the young composer. Mr. Damrosch’s sub- ject: “Wagner and the Musical Motives of His Music Dramas,” ts one which few could handle and none more interestingly than he. This will be the first time Mr. Damrosch has lectured in Washington and the first time he has delivered this new lecture anywhere. In the course of his explanation of Wagner's music Dam- rosch will give a recital on the piano. Ovide Musin.—The sale of seats for the Ovide Musin concert opened at Metzerott’s yesterday. There was an excellent sale for the first day and if this can be taken as an indication, Mr. Musin and his com- pany will have a large audience when they visit Washington next week. New National Theater.—There was a big crowd at the National last night to see Miss Fox as a stellar attrac- tion, this being her first appearance in Washington as the chief feature in the cast. The comic opera chosen is “The Litule Trooper,” a French vaudeville operetta by Raymond and Mars, adapted by Clay M. Greene, with music by William Furst and Victor Roger, and, while it is not pre-emi- nent in either score or libretto, Miss Fox, with a strong cast, succeeds in presenting it in an effective manner. It is Frenchy in motive, and that means certain complica- tions of association which are funny, al- beit, not always of the highest moral teaching. Miss Fox appears in three charac- ters, one of which, the little trooper, gives the play its name, and in all of these she is the same vivacious, vigorous, plump and piquant Della. The public has known her as @he second star in several attractions. Miss Villa Knox and Marie Celeste are her feminine coadjutors in the cast, but they have scarcely enough to do to say How weil they could do. . Among the men, Paul Arthur is a handsome and agreeable Emiie Duval, who is the over-gallant husband of Clairette (Miss Fox), and his side partner is Lieut. Gibbard (Mr. D’ Angelis), a charac- ter that is about as funny a one as can be found in comic opera, without being really great. Mr. D’Angelis’ presentation of the part is ridiculously funny, and he had not been before his audience five minutes, un- til he had everybody with htm. He pre- served a graviiy throughout that grew funnier all the time, and gives to Mr. D'An- gelis undoubted rank as a comedian. Mr. Campbell and Mr. Wheelan, in less import- ant comedy parts, sustained their reputa- tions, and Mr. Dungan was a handsome colonel. Butler's Bijou Theater.—Butler’s Bijou was packed to the doors last night by an euthusiastic audience to welcome a new American melodrama, entitled “The Life Guard.” The play is one of the strongest seen at the isijou this season, and is replete with startling features. The scenery was especially effective, and the living ladder was a bit of stage realism seldom equaled. The company comprises several well-known comedians, Who interject every now and then a bit of fun. Mr. Joseph J. Dowling easily assumed the principal male charac- ter. He shared the honors of the evening with Miss Myra Davis, who in soubrette role won many friends. Ralph E. Cum- mings and John Ashton did the heavy work and won the hisses of the audience, the best evidence of a stage villain’s perfidy. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.--Pat Reilly, long the acknowledged head of variety, with Eva Armstrong, the queen of bur- lesque, and a superior company, opened a week’s engagement at Kernan’s last night. Individually and collectively the features are all new and interpreted by artists, the pick of both nemispheres. Pat Reilly enjoys a reputation in the vaudeville world that few attain. He always pleases the public. The newest is always his, the best never too good for his patrons. His com- pany this season is excellent. The lengthy program includes Allen and West, the mu- sical eccentrics; the Fergusons, champion clog dancers; the Savans, premier equill- oriets, in a world challenge act; Perry and Tenbrooke, Laurel and Harvey, Iler, Burke and Randall, the acrobatic peers; Eva Armstrong, the beautiful purlesquer; Mlle. Egypt, the Algerian dancer, and Prof. Geo. A Foster, the Theodore Thomas of the variety stage Of course, Pat Reilly is good, He always is. Again tonight. Dean Hole’s, Talk.—Rev. S. Reynolds Hole, dean of Rochester Cathedral, Eng- land, gave an extremely interesting talk at Metzerott’s Hall last evening. The dean is a striking figure personally, being un- usually tall and commanding in appearance, and ‘he speaks entertainingly of people whom he has known. Some of those com- mented upon were Gladstone, Thackeray, John Lecch and Daniel Webster. He told many interesting anecdotes and delighted a good-sized audience during his entire lec- ture. The dean was introduced by Rev. Dr. McKim. The Moody Concert.—Judging from the advance sale of seats and the tremendous enthusiasm of the singers themselves, the concert of the big Moody and Sankey Choir tomorrow night in @onvention Hall will be a great success. There was a full rehearsal last night in the: First Baptist Church, and the final one oceurs this evea- ing. Director Foster says that the choir ts in splendid condition, and will no doubt come up to all expectations in the concert. It is not the object to compete in any sense with other local musical organizations, as the music rendered is, in large part, dif- ferent from that sung by all other soci- eties. The program will furnish a variety of Gospel song and church music, inter- spersed with selections by several well- known soloists. Among the numbers to be rendered are Knox's beautiful anthem, “Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem ‘0, Lord, How Manifold Are Thy Works,” by Barnby; “The Holy City,” by Stephen Adams; soprano solo, by Mrs. T. C. Noye: “The Lost Chord” (Sullivan), cornet solo, by E. Youngs, jr.; baritone obligato solo, by Dr. F. J. Woodman, together with sev- eral choice numbers from the Moody and Sankey Gospel hymns. The entire proceeds of the concert are to be devoted to char- itable_ purpose: Dr. Minot Savage's Lecture.—“‘Social Evo- lutton—What Next?” was the characteristic title of a thoughtful and extremely inter- esting lecture delivered in All Souis’ Church last night by Dr. Minot Savage of Boston. The lecturer believed it was the extreme of supercilious impudence for capital to organize and then whine because labor de- sired to form associations: for protection For one, he wanted to see labor better or- ganized and have a legal standing as well as capitalists. The laboring man would never get a glimpse of the better things of life if he did not have shorter hours of work, and he should bend his energies to secure them. He discussed the strikes on the railroads in their effect_upon the ge! eral public and its prosperity, and, in con- clusion, favored the creation of a national commission whose duty it should be to settle the differences and subsequent diffi- culties that may arise between labor and capital. —_->-—. MARRIAGE POSTPONED. The Bride Was Arrested on Her Wedding Night. ‘There was a disappointed young colored man in Washington yesterday, and this morning he sat in Judge Kimball's court and watched the prisoners’ cage, anxious to get ore look at the woman who had caused the disappointment. This man is Henry Pony, and the woman is Annie Williams, who is also known as Annie Branson. These two young people were to have been married last night. All the necessary arrangements had been made and the event of their lives was soon to take place. There was a minister at the house, and most of the guests had arrived, but Annie found it necessary to leave the house for a few minutes and go to the house of a neighbor. When the hour ap- pointed for the ceremony to'take place ar- rived, Annie had not returned, but her prospective husband did not: feel that she had jilted him. He was canfident that she was still true to him, and:that she had been detained against her'will At first he felt uneasy, thinking she had met with an accident, but soon afterward news of her arrest reached the house, and then the guests departed. e Annie said she went into O'Brien's saloon, on H street, to get a glass of beer to nerve herself up, as she put it. O’Brien pursued her and Biaced her under arrest, because of the statement of an old colored man, and she appeared in court on a charge of suspicion. “What is the charge against this girl?” Judge Kimball asked. “Suspicion of going to get married, I suppose," responded Lawyer Hewlett. “Here's the licens: There was nothing in the proof to show that the girl wearing a striped silk dress and military cap had done anything wrong and Lawyer Hewlett asked for her dis charge. His motion was granted, and he sent Annie home with her license, rk ing: “The preacher was there yesterday and the wedding had to be postponed, but it_will take place tonight.” Henry met her at the door and the happy couple went home. > Ripans Tabules for that full feeling after eating, We. box.

ERT Tai & ERT 5 ofS» 906 F Street N. W. ORIGINAL HISTORICAL DATA. An Interesting Paper Read Before the Historical Society Last Eventag. The first break in the ranks of the Co- lumbia Historical Society was caused by the death of the late Dr. J. C. Welling, the president of Columbian University. At the monthly meeting of the society, which was held last evening at the residence of the president, Dr. J. M. Toner, Judge Hag- ner, from the committee appointed for that purpose, read a sketch of the life of Dr. Welling, and submitted resolutions expres- sive of the sense of loss felt by the society in his death. Judge Hagner, who had known the deceased for fifty-one years, made some remarks, and Mr. Spofford, in seconding the resolutions, paid a just trib- ute to the life and character of the de- ceased. . The paper of the evening was read by Mr. W. B. Bryan, and gave interesting original material relating to some phases of the removal of the government from Philadelphia to Washington. He read in full two letters written by Abraham Brad- ley, jr., who was the assistant postmaster general in 1800, and for many years later, which gave an account of the removal of the Post Office Department to this city,and a description of the building located near the corner of 9th and E streets which was leased for the use of the Post Office De- partment. The building was a three-story dwelling house, and Mr. Bradley states that the Post Office Department occupied the second floor, which contained one room 27 by 17 feét, and two rooms each 15 by 14 feet. The city postmaster, Mr. Monroe, occupied the front room on the second floor. This statement in regard to the location of the city post offtce clears up a rather doubtful period in its early history. Mr. Bryan stated that the accounts of the removal of the government are ex- tremely meager. He said that the account which was most generally quoted is one which appeared some years ago, in which it is said that “the ‘oldest inhabitant” states that a single packet sloop brougit all the office furniture of the departments besides the seven large boxes and four or five smaller ones, which contained the ar- chives of the government. Mr. Bryan brought out the facts which have not hith- erto been published, which showed that the cost of the removal to the general gov- ernment was about $40,000, and that in- stead of one vessel, several vessels must have been used to bring the effects of the government to this city. One of the inter- esting features of the paper was a unique bil) which was presented by one of the clerks in the Treasury Department to de- fray the personal expenses of himself and his family in removing to this city. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the paper, remarks were made by Judge Hag- ner, Mr. Spofford, Dr. Anita McGee and others. eee ees Fighting Sunday Theaters. Sunday night the Rev. Charles Work of the First Presbyterian Church of Cincin- nati accompanied the Rev. Charles Pel- ton, agent of the Municipal Reform Society, to Havlin’s Theater, stayed long enough to qualify themselves as witnesses and then went on the street and requested a policeman to arrest the performers. He refused. They made the same request at police headquarters and were refused. Performers at other the: ters were subjected to the regular Sunday night arrest after performance. —— Trusfées’ sale of the handsome four-story brick dwelling, No. 1702 Oregon avenue northwest, will take place tomorrow at 4:30 o'clock p.m.—Advt. en Ripans for dyspepsia, 50c. gists —Advt, ‘A cream of tartar baking pow- Highest of all im leavening & Govern z : Absolutely Pure. $ der. strength.—Latest U. ment Report.
