BOYERS EARNEST PLEA Never probably in its history has Ana- costia been so excited over the arrests of two alleged criminals as it was yesterday afternoon and last night, as the result of the capture by Policemen Reagan and Marr of the Anacostia substation of Rob- ert Taylor and Milton W. Boyer, who are charged with having robbed the cigar store of W. H. Truslow, on Monroe street, which, as already stated in The Star, occurred early Saturday morning last. __The house occupied by the two men and the wife of the former, who is Boyer's sis- ter, on Jackson street near the Masonic Half, was searched yesterday afternoon, and a considerable quantity of goods, not only all that had been taken from Mr. Truslow, but some besides, which are at the station awaiting identification, was discovered. It is the opinion of the police authorities that in the capture of Taylor and Boyer they have succeeded in breaking up a party of thieves, who had determined to make their headquarters in Anacostia, and with that place as a base of operations pursue their nefarious calling wherever their fancy Jed them. The men removed to Anacostia from Washington, where they are said to be well connected, only about two weeks ago, and but few persons knew them,which makes their prompt arrest by the police- men all the more creditable to the latter. Caught by a Penny. When the thieves carried off from Mr. ‘Truslow’s store what booty they desired, they left not the slightest clue behind them, and the arrests would hardly have followed so soon as this, at least, but for the fact that among the money taken was a badly battered cent, which Mr. Truslow had particularly observed at the time he received it in part payment for some goods Friday last. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning this penny found its way back to Mr. Truslow’s store,having been brought there by a child, who purchased an article from Mr. Trus low’s clerk, Mr. Truslow being absent from the store at the time. Upon the re- turn of the latter he at once looked into his money drawer and speedily noticed the battered penny. “That penny,” said he to his young man, “will lead to the detection of the party or parties who robbed me, and I want you to #0 out and ask Officer Reagan to come in.” The peliceman was on duty at the time, and he lost no time in responding to Mr. Truslow’s call. The latter put the cent in Officer Reagan's hands and gave him such information as he possessed. Mr. Reagan next ascertained that the child had gone to the house occupied by Taylor and Boyer, and he proceeded to the office of Justice Carroll W. Smith, where he swore out war- rants for the arrest of the two men and for searching the premises. A little later both the suspected parties were taken into custody by Policemen Reagan and Marr and conveyed to the Anacostia substation, where they were searched. Upon Boyer nothing of value was found. He had, however, several cards of the Baker Publishing Company of Prov- idence, R. I, whose agent he represented himself to be. In_one of Taylor's shoes there was found $37. While being searched Taylor managed to throw something into the stove in the rocm, but the articles were quickly removed from the fire and were found to be a pair of cuff buttons, which Mr. Truslow subsequently {dentified as his property. The Goods Discovered. The prisoners were placed in separate cells, and Officers Reagan and Marr went to the house the former occupied in order to see if any of Mr. Truslow's goods were there. Their efforts were rewarded by the disecvery of all the articles which }.ad been taken from Mr. Truslow, consisting of a sult of clothes and a number of small articles, such as lead pencils, erasers, &c., also a quantity of cloth, one pair of blue pants, a blue coat, four vests, one pair of pants with suspenders attached, a frock coat and a sack coat, all of which are supposed to have been’ stolen. While the officers re taking a memo- randum of the articles comprised in che capture Taylor was making the most in- dustrious efforts to escape from the cell, and wotld probably have succeeded in doing so but for the vigilance of Sergt. Anderson and Station Keeper Ecklauf. By seme means Taylor became possessed of a small iron spoon, but how has not been clearly explained, and with this he succeed- ed in removing the mortar from around several adjoining bricks in the rear of the cell. Daylight was clearly visible through the aperture, and but for the timely dis- covery made by Sergt. Anderson and Mr. Ecklauf in a few minutes more he would have been at liberty. As soon as Sergt. Anderson found what sort of prisoners he had to deal with he telephoned to the fifth precinct station for the patrol wagon, and soon afterward Taylor and Bi r were landed in the station in the city, where good care w taken that they foxnd no chance to escape. Notes Written. While confined in the Anacostia station Boyer wrote two notes to Taylor, whom he seemed to think would escape. One of these was as follow: “Robert—Tell them the things they have are yours and the money you gave me from time to time. By telling them the truth they certainly won't hold me, and I will get youa bond. Don't try to get out.” The other was: “If you was to get out you know they would stick me, for I am guilty of nothing, and you know I am not, and you can easy clear me at the hearing. You know all the money I have had I got of you. Tell trem so, so I won't be held here. I must go out and make a living. “MILTON BOYER.” Both notes were found on the floor of Taylor's cell after his removal. The sec- ond note was torn into small pieces, but when pasted tegether could be read easily. Taylor’s Record. Taylor gave Ms occupation when arrest- ed as a druggist, and inquiry at S. F. Ware's store, where he said he had been employed, brought out the fact that he had worked there, but was discharged af- ter a short period of service by the pro- prietor, who missed many articles during Taylor's clerkship. Some articles of per- fumery which were found in Taylor's house were last night taken to Mr. Ware, and the latter identified them as his property. It is understood that Taylor was about to open a drug store on his own account, and the police authorities are endeavoring to Castoria s For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS.

Taylor and Boyer were both well dressed and bore every evidence of being prosper- ous. The former is thirty-seven years of age and the latter twenty-seven. Invented Puzzles. Boyer hes quite a history as an inventor of puzzles. It was he who several years ago brought out the “Pigs in Clover,” which became quite a rage throughout the country. He received a royalty on each puzzle ard realized quiteia handsome sum, but spent the money as fast as he got it. He later brought owt a®number of other puzzles, among them the “Aluminum Puz- zie’ and the ‘Prison Problem.” He marked after his arrest In speaking of the latter that he now Had a problem on hand that beat his puzzle’ al“hollow. He lived in Washington a numberof years and was never regarded with suspicion before. It is said that he has posed-as a professional detective, but, so far as Is known, did not attempt to do anything dishonest at any place where he was employed in that ca- pacity, Boyer has also had some theat pericr ce, having been at one time advance agent for the Primrose and West min- Subsequently, ke was the backer and advance agent ‘of’ a company called “Boyd's Minstrels.” Ii'“the latter enter- prise he lost consiiferable money. La he has been engaged in selling adver devices of various kinds, At the fifth precinct station last night Boyer was inclined to be very talkative and to protest that he was innocent of any i doir ing that all the trouble he had gotten into had been brought him by Teylor. The latter rebuked ical ex- upon Boyer, telling him he was a chump, and that if he did not keep his mouth shut he would give everything awa More Goods Found. This morning Officers; Reagan and Marr again visited the house, 239 Jackson street, occupied by Taylor and Boyer, and after another search of the premises found an additional lot of druggists’ goods, which have been taken to police head- quarters to await identification. Before Judge Miller. This morning Taylor and Boyer were arraigned in Judge Miller's court on a e of burglarizing Truslow’s store, and there were also charges of petit larceny against Taylor. The police had all the plunder ir court as evidence, and Lawyer Mcss, who appeared for the prisoners, plead not guilty for them, Taylor's of petit larceny were first heard, and w u for the prosecution had closed the and and denied the prisoner went on the s charges. On cro: xamination he said he had lived at Burlington, Iowa, and other places in the west, and he had been here but a short time when he found employ- ment in Ware's drug store. He claimed that the alleged stolen goods were brought here from the west. Boyer, in his testimon; aid that he and Taylor were brothe: jaw. Boyer said he had lived here twelve ye and, in ad- Gition to getting out patents for different he conducted the baby show at igh’s last year. He recommended his brother-in-law to Dr. Ware, and later his brother-in-law came to his house to board. He said he s at home Friday night with his wife and family. Dr. Taylor, he said, gave him $2 Saturday morning, including the mutilated cent, and he spent it at the store from where it had been taken. Boyer protested his innocence, and char- acterized his arrest as an outrage. Taylor next went on the stand and de- clared that Boyer was innocent. “Mr. Boyer,” he sald, “knows nothing about the case, and he is unjustly prose- cuted.” i ‘The pennies he gave Boyer, he said, he got in payment for patent medicine. “Do you want to tell about getting in that back window?” the-court asked. “I didn’t get in any back window,” he answered. Following this he told the court that he Is no “chump,” and said he knew if he did not tel the truth he would ‘get it in the neck.” Evidence as to Boyer’s good character was given, and the court also heard the evidence of the police concerning the cor- respondence between the men in the sta- tion, and held: them in §500 security for the action of the grand jury. Taylor was given three months for petit larceny. Boyer's Plea. Boyer then arose and made an earnest plea in his own behalf.» He spoke of his wife and little child} who, he said, needed his services. He had lost his effects in a fire, his lots were sold for an indebtedness and he Is now without anything except his household effects. ° It then came out that Boyer had made a proposition to buy Truslow’s store, and was to have given lots in exchange for it. These lots, he said, he expected to get through the Boyens’ firm that has skipped out. * “I am connected with five organizations here,” he said, in conclusion, “and if I'm a swindler I've swindled the people for twelve years. The prisoners were committed in default of security. ———— Reflection of Light.

STREET OBSTRUCTIONS. Commissioners Are Considering Some Phases of the Question. The question of street obstruction, or oc- cupying public space for private purposes, is again to be called in the Police Court, and this case will probably be tried before the decision of the upper court in the Louis- jana avenue cases. In this case the de- fendant is William A. Haliday, who oc- cupies the public space at O and Water streets, where he has a shed used as a boat house. This shed was erected in No- vember, 1803, a permit for its erection having been granted to L. J. Nilson. The permit stated that no right of oc- cupanecy or possession of the ground is conceded, and the Commissioners reserved the right to revoke the permit at pleasure. In January of this ys revoked, but Mr. Haliday, successor to Mr. Nilson, failed to remove the shed, and, act- ing under instructions from the Commis- sioners, Sergt. Daley swore out a warrant for Mr. Haliday. The case was called in Judge Kimball's court today and continued until Thursday., Some of the Italian fruit stands that were ordered from the street corners when the clearing order of the Commissioners was issued are reappearing, but the bootblacks, so far as is known, have not been toid that they may again put out their chairs.

SENATOR BLACKBURN'S BOLD COURSE Position of the Various Senatorial Candidates. MR. CARLISLE’S RECEPTION ee Special From a Staff Correspondent. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 28—The most interesting political contest now being waged in the west is in Kentucky, and the outcome seems as uncertain as it Is im- portant. It is a two-sided fight within the democracy of the state, involving the Uni- ted States senatorship, state offices and the question whether Kentucky shall stand for free silver or sound money. An important element of the situation is the strong prob- ability that there may be a divided house among the democrats and the republicans capture the state and possibly the senator- ship. Senator Blackburn, who wishes to be re- elected to the United States Senate, and several free silver candidates for state offi- ces, are held largely responsible for in- jecting the silver question into the present campaign. Senator Blackburn is making his canvass upon his personal popularity and the advocacy of the free, and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. ‘The democratic state convention will be held June 25 to nominate candidates for state offices, beginning with the governox- ship, and for the adoption of a state plat- form. It is the purpose of the advocates of free silver to attempt to commit the de- mocracy of the state to free silver at that convention and to have a free silver dec- laration as a wide plank in the platform. ‘The sound money democrats will resist the effort in this direction on the ground that it threatens a disruption of the party. Every effort has been made to dissuade the free silver leaders from bringing forward the question in a state contest with the re- publicans. They have been warned that the republicans will surely adopt a sound money platform at their convention, and that to commit the democracy to free silver will be a handicap in the outset. To this the free silver men reply that the sentiment of the state is for silver, regard- less of politics; that free silver is sure to , and that thelr platform will attract votes from the republicans in case the re- publican party of the state takes a stand egainst silver at, its convention. The democratic convention of June 25 is awaited with a great deal of anxiety. It is realized that there is a strong sentiment for silver among the farmers and the peo- ple of the small towns, which is being con- stantly encouraged by the free silver sena- tcrial and state office candidates. Senator Blackburn in all of his speeches urges the ople to send free silver delegates to the convention, Up to the time of Secretary Carlisle’s arrival in the state there had been no attempt to counteract the free silver dal wave. R Representative McCreary, also a candi- date for the senatorship, has been trying to keep an anchor out fore and aft. He is doing this by bearing down easily on silver, using the word “bimetallism” freely, and, while professing his undying affection for silver, urging its advocates to wait for an international agreement. Ex-Governor Buckner, who will be a candidate, is known to be a sound money man, but has made no active canvass. Thus, with Senator Blackburn actively at work, Mr. McCreary temporizing and the out-and-out sound money man not yet fair- ly in the field, the free silver boom was forging ahead. Secretary Carlisle's Arrival. It was at this juncture that Secretary Carlisle swooped down on the silver men like the wolf on the fold, but unlike the Assyrian of yore, his cohorts were gleam- ing with gold alone. He quickly set the pace for the sound money men, and has laid down the law to those inclined to tem- porize. He says the time to stop the silver movement is at the convention, and not al- low it to enter into the subsequent cam- paign. He has pointed out the danger of giving free silver the prestige of recogni- tion by a democratic state convention as dangerous not only to the party as a po- litical organization, but to the cause of sound money and good business. Secretary Carlisle received a welcome in the state which must have been highly gratifying to him personally, but probably the most important feature of it was the enthusiasm with which his sound money speeches were received by his audiences. Every speech that he made in Kentucky has been attended by immense crowds, and their applause of his sound money senti- ments has demonstrated the existence of a marked anti-silver feeling. Wide circula- tion is to be given to his speeches, and the only anxiety of the sound money people is whether the campaign of education can be made effective before the convention dele- gates are chosen. cretary Carlisle’s hurried departure for Washington this morning on account _of Secretary Gresham's death has caused great disappointment in political circles. He canceled his engagement to make a sound money speech here tomorrow night, for which extensive arrangements had been made. It is the understanding that he will return to Kentucky at an early date and speak at a number of points. An informal sound money organization has been per- fected for the distribution of his speeches throughout the state. Choosing the Legislature. The election of the legislature which ts to choose a United States Senator will be held next November at the same time that the élection of state officials occurs. Can- didates for the legislature are already being nominated, however, and the sena- torial fight begins there. Senator Blackburn ard Mr. McCreary have both been laying their pipes with the candidates for the legislature, shaping their campaign into those districts where the nomination of candidates occurred earliest. It 1s sald to be nearly an even thing between them up to date, but with the result also contingent upon the action of the convention. Mr. Blackburn’s Course. Senator Blackburn has staked his last chance upon free silver. If the conven- tion declares for the unlimited coinage of the white metal he will claim to be the original free silver man, although Governor Brown will contest that position with him, as it is understood he will be a candidate on the silver plank. If the convention declares against silver Senator Blackburn will claim that the administration and the gold bugs controlled the meeting and will extend an invitation to all advocates of unlimited coinage to stand up for him as its true and lively exponent and send him to the Senate that he may demonstrate the fact to their satisfaction and his own. Mr. Blackburn's opponents stand very much in awe of him, it !s said. Aside from his catchy free silver position, Mable to bring him considerable following, he is a man of marked popularity. One of his op- ponents remarked to the ¥riter: “Jo Black- burn has friends everywhere, and they are friends who will go with him, silver or no silve! While the senatorial contest and the can- didacy of state officials are interesting features of the situation in Kentucky the silver question is the issue which the lead- ers are taking most to heart. It is already apparent that Secretary Carlisle's speeches have awakened the ad- vocates of sound money to the necessity of preserving Kentucky’s position in the column of sound money states, and that she shall set the pace for the other south- ern states to follow. Louisville furnishes a nucleus for sound money sentiment, and the intimate business connections of the city with the outlying communities are ex- pected to furnish channels for the convey- ance of safe currency ideas.
