Beware of conterfeits.” THE HIGH Given to a Man Convicted of a Serious Ottense. An elderly man, whose name is given as B. Philip Price, and who hails from Dallas, Texas, came here about a year ago to pros- ecute a claim for stores and supplies taken from him during the war. He had been here only a short time before h& was ar- rested on a charge of indecent exposure and fined. Friends interposed in his behalf and he was released. Today he again ap- peured. This time the charge against him was similar conduct in a herdic. A num- ber of complaints had been made against him, and he was finally caught. * Judge Kimball, in disposing of the case, said there were not words in the English language strong enough to show his is- gust and condemnation of the prisoner's conduct. If the man is insane he ougnt to be locked up where he can’t see good soci- ety. The highest penalty provided by law is not sufficient punishment, said the judge, but that was all he could give him. A fine of $250 or six months in the work house was imposed. Equity Court No. 1.—Judge Cox. Waters agt. Waters; testimoay before Robt. J. Murray, Wheeler et al. agt.

SECURE FROM NOTORIETY Charles Riley Sent to Jail for Attempting a Murder. Struck His Sweetheart With a Piece of Wcod—Believed to Be Seek- ing Notoriety. Charles C. Riley, a young man who is known in police circles because of his de- sire to do detective work, and also for the reason that he has figured as prisoner, at- tempted to kill Miss Blanche Graves in front of the Central Union Mission last night, and now he is booked for a jail sentence. He had been paying attentions to the young woman, but last night she was with another young man, and Riley used a slat from a tree box on her head, but, fortunately for her, the piece of wood struck against a thick bunch of hair and did not seriously injure her. Miss Graves, who is nineteen years ol lives on 6th street northeast, and although she has been going with Riley, her mother objected and had given him notice not to come to the house. Riley attended the mission last night, as usual, and when he entered the room where services are held he discov- ered the object of his affection seated be- side another young mai Then he went outside and looked for a weapon. Failing to get a pistol or sharp instrument, he pro- cured the slat from a tree box and waited near the door to do his murderous work. When Miss Blanche came out and started toward home he wielded the slat with such effect that his former sweetheart fell to the pavement. Riley started to run and the crowd pur- sued him. But instead of endeavoring to get away he ran into pclice headquarters, where he had been many times before, and cricd, “I've killed my sweetheart.” Sergeant Perry, Detective Boyd and Offi- cer Burns were in the office at the time and Sergeant Perry expressed the belief that Riley was insane. “No, I ain't crazy,” said the young man, who was made a prisoner on suspicion. “She told me if I ever caught her with another man that I might kill her, and I tuok her at her word.”” Then he reasoned that he would get an eight years’ sentence and would actually serve five years. * He was locked up and the young woman sent home. When turned over to Policeman Sullivan Riley repeated his story and said he was only sorry he had not killed her so he would hang for it. In the Police Court. This morning when he reached the Police Court he fell to the floor and pretended that he had a fit, but a doctor who hap- pened to be in court said he had made a poor attempt at feigning. When the case was called Riley said he did not care how the case was tried. Miss Graves went on the stand and told Judge Miller that she had known Riley for about eight months. He had met her at the store where she is employed and esccrted her to the car. One night last summer he threatened to kill her if he cavght her with another man. At that time she told him she was going to the theater or down the river with another friend, and that was why he said he would kill her. He told her then that he had a pistol. Two young men were called and they gave evidence concerning the assault. One of them said he had a@ conversation with Riley early in the evening, when he said that if he (Riley) did not go home with Miss Graves tne other young man would not. Remarkable Story. Riley then took the stand in his own be- half and told a_remarkable story. “I've been goiffg with her on the sly,” he said to the court. “I couldn't go to the house and so we met at the mission.” “Did you hit her last night?” the court interrupted. e s, sir,” he responded, “She told me to do it and'I did it. Last summer she told me if I ever met her with another feller 1 should kill her. She said then that she was going out with a man and I was to hide behind the boxes at the paint store at 6th and H streets northeast and when she came along she said for me to shoot her and then kill myself.” “Where's your pistol now?” asked him. ‘My sister-in-law’s father has it,” he re- sponded, “but he won't give it to me.” Miss Graves was recalled and Judge Mil- ler asked her what she thought of Riley, and she replied, “I don’t think much.” “But,” explained the court, hat do you think of his mental condition?’ “I think he knows what he is about.” She said that what Riley had said about the killing was a falsehood. Rile; Mind. Judge Miller then spoke of Riley's career in police circles, and several officers told of his connection with thefts. Detective Weedon told the court that he thought Riley’s mind unsound, and said he had come to him several times lately and told of a big robbery that was to occur. Detective Rhcdes thought his mind sound enough, but he also thought it ran in a criminal direction. When Detective Proctor was called he told of Riley's frequent visits to the mis- sion, and said he had occasion to eject him from the mission only a few nights ago. Several policemen gave the prisoner a bad reputation, and Precinct Detective Helan told of his arrest and imprisonment for stealing cigars about four months ago. “That's right,” the prisoner added, Miss Blanche and a girl named Miss Sallie came to see me almost every day when I was in jail.” “Don’t ycu think it fs a case of jealousy?” Miss Graves was asked. “It looks like it,” she answered. Policeman Sullivan said that Riley liked notoriety and was anxious to see what the morning papers had published about him. “I'll send him away for awhile where he will not get notoriety,” said Judge Miller, “and where he will not read the papers. You will have to go to jail for eleven months and twenty-nine days.” “Thank you,” said the prisoner, and then he returned to the cell ym. —_—>—__ DECEIVED THE PRESIDENT. the judge Mr. Cleveland Indignant Over Clem- ency Obtained Through Fraud. President Cleveland is indignant over the apparent fraud that has been perpetrated in securing the pardon of Henry Zink of Louisville, who was sentenced to the In- diana state prison at Jeffersonville, Ind., for sending obscene photographs through the mails. The pardon was granted on the recom- mendation that Zink was dying of con- sumption, The day of his release Zink boasted of the influences he had brought to bear to obtain a pardon. His own physician, Dr. 8. Brozowoski, stated that Zink would live ten or fifteen years, but added that one of his lungs was affected. Dr. Brozowoski was one of the physicians who recommended Zink’s. p: don. When these statements were tele- graphed to eastern papers, they came to the attention of the President, who wrote to Warden Patten an autograph letter. In the letter the President quotes from letters received from the prison warden and physician, in which they made Zink out to be a very sick man. He inclosed a clipping from a paper, which showed that Zink was far from sick to all appearances. He concludes by calling for explanation, tf the warden and physicians have any’ to wake. To this letter Warden Patten has written an answer, which was matled yesterday, in which he says Zink was failing rapidiy; that he was unable to do any labor, and in the opinion of himself and Dr. Peytor, par- don should be issued in the name of hu- manity. The matter is to be thoroughly sifted. —_—_—_+e2+-—— Literary Society Officers. The Literary Society of Washington held a meeting at the residence of Dr. J.

He was compelled to speak so often that he quite tired himself out. Last night at a late hour he made a speech in the St. James Hotel, in which he took occasion to severely criticise American institutions and the Amertcan people, the laboring men par- ticularly. Many of them, delegates to the American Federation of Labor, became quite indignant, but it was left to Gov. Waite, who was in the audience, to express himself upon the matter. After Mr. Burns had withdrawn Gov. Waite asked permi: n to reply to some statements made by Mr. Burns, and, taking the floor, he made a most exciting arraign- ment of the English socialistic labor leade! refuting some of that gentleman's state- ments. It was today that the labor delegates re- belled. In a conversation with Henry Weissman of New York, representing the Bakers’ National Organization, Mr. Burns said, in speaking of the action of the con- vention upon the socialistic plank: “Yo fello’ have made asses of yourselves. Weissman replied ‘I do not think you are capable of judging, sir,” and he forthwith turned his ‘k upon the English member of parliament. Later on several of the delegates grew in- dignant over this charge. William C. Pom- eroy of Chicago, representing the Phoenix Federal Trades Union, indited a letter to Mr.Burns, which he sent to him by messen- ger this evening. This letter read: I request that you favor me answer to the following question: “Would an American speaking in Eng- land escape the duck pond if he presumed to criticise conditions, persons and person- al habits in the manner in which you have spoken in America?” “Evidently Mr. J. Burns does not under- stand the usages of hospitality,” said Mr. Pomeroy this evening in discussing the matter. “He has been most discourteous and has said things in public which he should not have said while partaking of the great hospitality of the citizens of Den- ver. His private utterances have been worse, but when he attacks the delegates of this convention because of their concerted uc- tion he insults the American Federation of Labor, and I have personally taken it upon myself to publicly resent it. Mr. David Holmes has been a gentleman all along, and he has won the esteem and good will of every one by his conservatism, but Mr. Burns has been ungrateful and inconsider- ate. “Last night Mr. Burns in his speech, speaking of the dishonesty and corruption of municipal life in America, made the statement that the conduct of officials in Chicago and New Yor@ city is such that were these men living in the frontier towns they would be good cases for Judge Lynch, and he was noi sure that it would not be a good plan to have lynch law in those cities. “He also said that Chicago is a pocket edition of hell or hell a pocket edition of Chicago, he could not say which. He was astonished at the sentiment of the dele- gates to this convention relating to the judiciary of this land, and he was of the opinion that our Constitution had utterly fal to be of further use. ou need a new Constitution,’ said he, ‘this one is antiquated and utterly unfit for present condition: “These are only a few of the many state- ments which he has been making in Den- ver, both in public and private, and the re- sult is that he has been roundly condemn- ed by citizens and visiting delegates of the American labor organizations. If he con- tinues this sort of criticism while enroute east Mr. J. Burns will have a very lively ume.” ——__+.
