THH EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1895-TWELVE PAGES, ee ——$————————_—_——_——_—— } STILL A MYSTERY, Although Coroner’s Jury Acts on Will Clements’ Death. Evidence at Inquest id ‘the Verdict That Resulted—Selting Weup- ons to Smal Boys.” *~ A coroner’s inquest was held yéstérday afternoon over the bedy of. young. Wiligm Gross Clements, who was accidentally shot and killed at his residence; 1745 18th‘street, Tuesday afternoon. The inquest lasted for several hours, but developed nothing ma- terial beyond what Was contained -in-The Star yesterday afternoon.. Yet, in the opin- fon of the jury which investigated the cas sufficient evidence was brought. out to:war- rant them in bringing in a verdict to the effect that the pistol by which the unfortu- nate lad was killed was held in the hand of Frederick Arthur Bryan, one of the twin sons of Mr. S. M. Bryan. ~ Members of the jury who officiated at the inquest yesterday afternoon were M. F. Caughlin, Daniel Sweeny, George H. De- monet, Johr R. Grove and John M. Bucke ley. After the evidence was all in they deliberated for over an hour over their verdict and finally brought in the follow- ing: “We, the undersigned jurors, find, accord- ing to the best of our knowledge and be- lief, after hearing all the evidence in this case, that William Clements came to his death from a gun or a pistol shot wound, at 3:30 p.m., caused, by its accidental dis- charge in the hand of Frederick Bryan, at 1745 18th street northwest, January 8, 1895. We, the undersigned jurors, do exonerate Frederick Bryan from. all blame.” Method of Reasoning. Just why they should have decided upon a verdict which held one of the boys re- sponsible and not the other was a matter of considerable doubt to all the others who heard the testimony given at the inquest. There was no direct testimony, or indirect, which made it certain“that the pistol was in the hand of either one of the boys, and certainly nothing to Show that tt was more Likely te have been in the hand of one than the other. ‘The physicians who attended Will Clements after he was shot testified as to the character of the wound, and Dr. E. L. Tompkins, who made the autopsy, expressed the opinion that the wound could not have been made from a pistol held in the hand of the unfortunate boy himself. This evidently made the jury think that, as it must have been held in somebody's hand, they might as well: pick-out one of the Bryan boys as the other. Edgar Bryan denied absolutely that -he~fired- the: fatal shot, but the auestion whether he had or not for some reason or other was not put to Fred. Bryan, as the general trend of the testimony seemed to show that he knew no more about the accident than he told in his story in The Star’yesterday afternoon. "The jury decided that no blame at all rest- ed on the-shoulders of young Bryan. Witnesses Examined. The witnesses examined by Coroner Ham- mett were Dr. J. R. L. Hardesty, Dr. C. B. Hagner, both of whom attended the de- ceased; Mrs. J. Florence Manning, a neigh- bor of the Clements family; Mrs. Clements, mother of the dead boy; Alfred Edgar Bryan and Frederick Arthur Bryan, twin sons of Mr. Samuel Bryan; Keith Reeves, Guy Clements, twelve years of age, a brother, and C. C.'Cléeiients,“tather“of the dead boy; Dr. E. L, Tompkins, who per- formed the autopsy, and Sergt. Robert W. Montgomery of the police force. Mrs. Clements, who was the first wit- ness, described the incidents that imme- diately preceded the shooting, and also told of the death of her son, a few sec- onds after she reached his side, after hear~ ing the report of the pistol and the noise of a fall. The only other witnesses who could throw any direct light on the occur- rence were Fred and Edgar Bryan, and they adhered stouily to the version of the affair which they had given from the be- ginning; that is te say, they testified in a straightforward manner that they were in the adjoining room when their Blaymate was shot, and that when they ran intg room he was already prostrate on t floor, Selling Weapons. While the cloud’ of doubt Which hung over the accident in the beginning has not been altogether cleared away, the accident itself is likely to result in a more stringent enforcement of the law with reference to the sale of deadly weapons in this city. Tho Bryan boys, on the stand yesterday, described how the three pistols were bought, just as it was told in The Star yes- terday, and their story showed apparently that the clerk in the sporting goods store where the pistols were bought had lived up only ito the letter, and not by any means to the spirit of the law when he permitted three pistols to get into the pos- session of three small boys. Their action in getting an old colored man to go in and buy the pistols for ‘thenf ‘was so transpa- rent that it is hard to see how a dealer could have taken it upér himself to sell the pistols under the circumstances. Ac- cording to the statement of the boys, they went into the store with the colored man and took an active part in the selection of the revolvers, which were of the cheapest sort, and without any safety appliances whatever. The two Bryan boys are greatly distressed by the sad affair, and both fam- ilies that are concerned have the sympathy of all their friends and the community generally. et Annual Meccting of C. A. C. The annual meeting .of the.,Columbia Athletic Club was held at the club house last evening. The reports of the secretary and treasurer and of the board of gov- ernors were received with applause, the treasurer's statement showing that not- withstanding the prevailing dull times the club has been able to move steadily on- ward. The secretary’s report was very exkaustive, and went into particular de- tail in regard to athletics. The only branch of athletic work in which the club has not been represented during the past year was base ball, and this was particu- jarly on account of the lack of grounds. The coming spring will see work on Co- lumbia Field resumed, and by warm weather it is expected that the club will be the possessor of one of the best equip- ped grounds for outdoor sports in the country. Lieut. Smith of the boating com- mittee recommends the purchase of se eral new boats and the leasing of a land- ing stage on the upper river. By a unani- mous vote the initiation fee of $10, which has for some time en waived, was re- stored, to take effect from March 1. sr An Invaluable Hand Book.

After considering the case for five hours, the jury in the case of Frank Williams, charged with the murder of Wm. H. Twigs on the canal towpath on the 7th of last August, returned a verdict at 8 o'clock last evening of manslaughter. As stated in yesterday's Star, the killing of Twigg re- sulted from a quarrel between him and Williams, a young colored man, over the possession of a whip. The deceased was in a drunken condition, and was shot down by Williams after the quarrel had ap- parently ended. A verdict of murder was urged by the prosecution, despite the con- tention of the defense that the prisoner shot in self-defense. A sentence of ten years in the penitentiary was imposed by Judge Cole, et ee Caused by Gasoline. 8.

A small blaze resulted, and the fire department was called to the scene, but the flames were extinguished with the assistance of a hand grenade.

Macfarland, it was decided to hold a public meeting under the auspices of the association, at which the practical work- ings of the civil service law in the govern- ment departments shall be explained by some of the higher officials. In this way it was believed that more general interest could be excited in the public mind on the subject, and remarks to that end were made by Rev. Alex. Mackay-Smith, Gen. McKeever, Mr. Macfarland, Mr. Siddons, Mr. Stetson and Mr. Gurley. A legal opin- ion, which was quite lengthy and exhaust- ive, was submitted by Mr. Wolf upon what constitutes soliciting political assessments, and a copy was ordered to be transmitted to the civil service commission. The matter of placing the employes of the District government under the protec- tion of the civil service law was discussed, and it was dvcided that the association would lend its assistance to the work of the board of trade in endeavoring to secure legislation by Congress to accomplish this, if such legislation shall be deemed neces- sary. ee ARRANGING THE RECEPTION. Executive Board of Local W. C. T. U. Transacts Business. * The regular meeting of the executive beard of the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union of the District was held yester- day afternoon at Central Union Mission. Miss M. E. Griffith, the president, presided. The work of the various departments was reviewed, reports from each being present- ed and adopted. The most conspicuous business transacted was that in relation to the monster meeting of the World's Inter- national Women's Christisn Temperance Union, to be held here on the evening of February 15. It wes finally settled that the meeting should be held at Convention Hall. It is at this meeting that the great polyglot petition will be presented to the United States. It was also finally deter- mined to hold meetings in a number of the largest churches in the District of Co- lumbia during the week of February i The churches in which they will be held have not-as yet been named. It was also voted to give a reception at the residence of President M. E. Griftith to Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the World's W. ¢ T. U., and to Lady Henry Somerset, vi president at large of the same union. At this reception it is designed to have a throng of leading people in the theological, scientific and political spheres. All friends of the temperance cause wiil be invited to nd. e quarterly meeting of the W. C. T. U. of the District will be held next wee The evangelistic department of the V T. U., of which branch Mrs. S. M. Hart- sock is the superintendent, is holding daily c, services of prayer in the auditorium of the mission. These services begin at 2 p.m. and will be continued during the week. WORK FOR Tilk POOR. Grand Army Favors an Appropriation for Street Grading. ~The Grand Army of the Republic, through its department commander, has referred to the Commissioners fer their careful consid- eration a resolution urging an immediate appropriation of $25,000 to be expended wa- der its direction in the work of street grading, to assist in relieving the pressure of want upon the laboring population, which is severely felt among the comrades and wards of the Grand Army. In a letter accompanying the resolution the commander says that after twenty-tive years’ experience the Grand Army is thor- oughly convinced that mere alins giving is a virtue of doubtful utility, except for some unusual misfortune or emergency, and that employment and pitals are the only proper relief for most of those who an- nually and for a considerable time claim the attention of charitable snd benevolent organization. As much of the poverty in this city is directly traceable and properiy chargeable to congressional action and non- action, it would seem to be emin fitting that the same power should be voked for the relief of the sufferers. Se A Washingtonian Honored. In recognition of services rendered as commifsioner general of the United States at the international exposition at Antwerp the King of Belgium has bestowed upon Professor J. H. Gere of the Columbian University the Order of Leopold, and as a mark of special faver presented him with the jewel of that order. The officials of the exposition, vote, granted him the member of the superior jury, while the civil engineering jury awarded to his “Bib- licgraphy of Geodesy” a diploma of hoa with the explicit report that it was most important ahd valuable work.” The committee to whem this book was referred had as members the president of the bu- reau of longitude, Paris; the Belgian chief of railways and bridges, and tha chief of the department of engineering in the French war office. In. oraer to free the book from such influence as its author's official position might have given it was net entered under his name nor was his name known until the final list of awards was made up. This was the second book of Professor Gore’s to receive an award. His “History of Geodesy” was similarly honored at the world's Columbian exposition, when Mr. Thatcher himself wrote the report.

Just before the holidays he was arrested and sent down for two weeks. He was released New Year day, and before sundown he was under the influence of liquor. His friends kept “open house,” and he had no trouble getting all the drinks he wanted. “And Le has been drunk ever since,” Policeman Stearns told Judge Kimball this morning. When under the influence of strong drink Scott does not crawl into some shed and go to sleep, but he visits the greenhouses and enjoys a bed of roses in the summer climate. Yesterday he departed from his general custom, and instead of going into one of the houses and damaging the roses he in- quired of the proprietor, “What will you charge for a bed of carnations?” The proprietor set no price, for he knew that the intoxicated man was without funds, and instead of giving him the privi- lege of taking a nap where he would get the fragrance of the carnations he was taken off to a police station and given an iren bed with to cause thoughts of cholera or smalipox. Judge Kimball recognized Scott when he appeared in court, and asked him how sentence he was given last time. ifteen days,” he answered. ‘Scott,”” said the court, “why don’t you stop drinking and go to work?” “Well, judge,” answered the victim of intemperance, “I did intend to stop drink- ing when I got out, but I didn’t.
