AFTER THE GRAVE ROBBERS Testimony Offered in the Police Oourt Today. ‘Two of the Men Held for the Grand Jury — Bodies Packed in Boxes. In following up the investigation of the cases involving the robbery of graves in Payne’s and Woodlawn cemeteries, the po- lice made an effort last evening to appre- hend the missing member of the Marlow family who is alleged to have been con- nected with the ghastly crimes, but failed to succeed. George Marlow and his son Jere- miah, and their alleged companion, John Jones, failed-to give bail, and were held in custody at the police station until this morn- ing, when they were taken to the Police Court. The case attracted an unusual amount of attention, and scores of curious people were in court early in the morning, anxious to get a glimpse of the alleged resurrectionists, and some of them even expected to see the bodies that had been taken from the graves in the dead hour of night and packed in oak leaves, preparatory to shipment to medical colleges in the east and west. But in this they were sadly disappointed, for the bodies had been returned to the cemeteries, and either put back in the ground or in the vault, where the grave robbers cannot again get them. There were no eye-witnesses to the weird scene in the cemetery, nor was there anybody in court to tell of how the disturbers of the graves had collected oak leaves in the cemetery to use for packing. George Marlow and John Jones are power- ful colored men, while Jeremiah Marlow, although only fourteen years old, looked as if he were much older. Lawyers Peyton and Holland represented the prisoners, while Lawyer Hewlett ap- peared in the interest of the cemetery companies and assisted Mr. Mullowny in the prosecution of the case. The body of Ellen Whittington, taken from Payne's, and the body of Wilham Qualls, taken from Woodlawn cemetery, Were charged as having been taken by the prisoners in the warrants, which were filed undtr the act of Congress of last year which makes grave robbery a felony. : Evidence t6 establish the death and burial of two of the four bodies was first offered, and the government followed this-up by showing that the bodies were afterward taken from the express packages and placed on the dead table in the morgue. Mrs. Whittington’s body was first under dis- cussion, and her daughter, attired in black, related her sad experience of the burial, resurrection and reinterment of her mother's body. At the Express Office. Sylvester Peck, night clerk in the employ of the United States Express Company, told of the receipt of the large dry goods box, in which was the .body of Mrs. Whit- tington, as well as that of another woman. The box was delivered early in the morn- ing, and as there were two addresses on the box the lid was removed, and he saw that the contents were packed in oak leaves. ‘i put my hand in the box,” he said, “and felt what I thought was human flesh. Then I ran my hand down further in the box and felt a human foot.” Witness could not identify either Marlow, althcveh George Marlow resembles the inan who he'd the horse. “Do you recognize either of the defend anis as having been there with the bos he was asked. “Yes, sir,” was his response. “I recognize that man (pointing to Jones) as the man who signed the bill as William Jackson. He signed for a similar box some time be- fere.” Ernest Johnson, also a clerk in the ex- Press office, identified both George Marlow and John Jones as having delivered two boxes at the office. On the 31st of January, he said, they delivered a box there address: ed to “L. B. Downing, Hanover, N.H." This box contained hardware, they said, but some of the men became suspicious, and part of the lid was removed. It was found to contain oak leaves, but the clerk who made the investigation did not put his kand in the box far enough to tell what Was packed in the leaves. The box re- ceived on the Sth of February contained the two bodies of women. Clerk Robey also gave evidence. He told of the box received there on the Sth of Fen- Tuary and opened the next day. This box Was opened because of the two addresses en it, one Detroit, Mich., and the other Bal- timore, Md. This witness did not know by he box was delivered. Legal Point. This concluded the proof, so far as Mrs. Whittingten’s body was concerned, and Lawyer Peyton moved that the warrant be quashed because, he said, the law makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by imprison- ment in jail and not in the penitentiary. Judge Miller said he would like to know when Congress would learn that there is no labor performed in the jail. The act says that the offense is punishable by hard labor and imprisonment in jail. Mr. Mullowny said that the word jail mae no difference because the word labor is used. Judge Miller confessed that the statute was peculiarly drawn. Counsel argued that the law applied to paupers, and said that ghouls, as is well known, have made potter's field their prin- cipal place of operation. ‘The court did not agree with counsel, but thought an investigation weuld reveal many empiy graves in different cemeteries. The Result. The cotrt overruled the motion, and then counsel moved that the prisoners be dis- charged because of insufficient proof. There was ro proo? against the boy, Jeremiah Marlow, in this case, and he was acquitted. His father, George Marlow, and John Jones were held for the grand jury, and the court fixed the bond at $1,000. Mr. Mullowny said he would abandon the case involving the removal of Qualls’ body, which was deposited with Adams Express Company Monday mornipg. ——.—__ For Divorce. A petition for divorce from James D. Monroe was filed today by Lucy E. Monroe, through Attorney D. W. Glassie. The par- ties were married here, August 24, 1891, her maiden name being Johnson. She charges tniat he deserted her February 15, 1803, and also charges cruel treatment. She says no children have been born to them, and asks for permission to resume her maiden name. —_—-—__- Blaine Invincibles.

Inspector Hollinberger was not very much surprised last evening when he learn- ed that Chag. Mcrtis, alias Meson, alias “Bosten Charlie,” had been released by the New York police commissioner. It is not an unusual thing for New York police commiesioners to refuse to hold prisoners fer the authorities, although the police department there is usually willing to lend a helpirg hand. His release was the result of the delay in eending a berch warrant and requisition there for him as soon as he was arrested instead of a Police Court warrant. Witresses went befcre the grand jury two weeks ago, and that body acted in the matter, 8» the police say, but the delay in the district attorney's office in pre- paring the indictment and getting the bench warrant, they say, was what caused them to send a Police Court warrant, hop- ing it would serve to hold the prisoner. ‘Beston Charlie,” as he is known, is wanted for alleged complicity in the’ at- tempt to defraud Mrs. Judge Lindsey of Gainesville, Texas. He is indicted with John J. Cunningham and Daniel Dwyer, who were arrest2d at the time of the com- mission of the alleged offense. ‘The fugitive was located in New York, and the police did not want to arrest him until the requisition papers were made out, but they were forced to have him locked up for fear he would leave the metropolis. Acting upon the request from here De- tectives Valley and Evanhoe arrested him, and yesterday he was taken before Mai trate Crane. The detectives presented the Police Court warrant together with the photograph of ihe prisoner, but this had no effect upon the magistrate, who dis- charged the prisoner and even refused to hold him for a day on a charge of va- grancy, as the officers informed him thut Officers were on thelr way there with requisition papers. ‘The action of the magistrate was re- ported to the higher police officials, and Police Commissioner Roosevelt, comment- ing on the actlun of the magistrate, said: “Action like that is the most effective means of helping criminals against the Police. The prisener had fake bonds on his person, and was evidently a criminal. It is clear that the man should have been held. If Magistrate Crane's ruling {s cor- rect it will make it impessible for the police here to render any assistance to the police of other cities any distance from New York. In almost every case where criminals are arrested for the police of outside cities they are held to await requi- sition papers. There were never so many arrests made by the detective bureau as in the last nine months, but the masis- trate’s action in this case helps the crim- inal.” = Later in the day the detectives, acting upon the advice of the district attorney, re- arrested ‘Boston Charlie,” and it is prob- able that the requisition Is now there for him and that he will be brought here for trial. Detective Weedcn Is in New York looking after the case, ard it is expected that the prisoner will be returned here in a few days. . ——————_—_ Thefts Reported. Only three éases of theft were reported to tke police today, and the amounts involved will not aggregate $5. The detectives have been busy this week clearing up a number of. robberies, and in their investigations succeeded in finding the boys accused of having stolen Frank Vaughn's bicycle. Geo. Waller, Pressly Thornton and William Bailor, colored boys, were arrested. The wheels had been taker from the frame, and Detectives Lacy, Boyd and Helan made the arrests and recovered the property. Judge Miller held the boys for the action of the grand jury. “ George Raymond and Albert Stewart, al- so colored, were arrested by the same offi- cers. It is alleged that they have been stealing property of various kinds and sell- ing it. They are held for court. William Bowser, colored, is held by De- tectives Carter and Gallaher on a charge of having committed a sneak job at the house of William T. Walker. An overcoat stolen from the house has been recovered. Charles Warner was locked up last night because he was endeavoring to dispose of some dress goods which, he admits, had been stolen from a store on 7th street. He will be tried tomorrow. THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Indicrtions That There Will Be but One Parade. The probabilties of a double parade on Emancipation day are growing less and the evidences are that the celebration will be under the auspices of the Emancipation Celebration and Historical Associatiop. At least this is the course recommended by Col. Perry H. Carson, who gave such ad- vice before he withdrew from all active Participation in the affair last Tuesday. There was a meeting on that day of the colonel and his friends, at which he relin- quished the position of chief marshal and had a committee appointed to confer with the representatives of the E. C. and H. A. and come to some unedrstanding about the parade. The question has not yet been settled, but all the interested parties ex- pect a solution that will result in but one parade. Col. Carson said to a Star reporter today that he understood that some persons were going arourd representing themselves as coming from him and soliciting contribu- tions for the expenses of the emancipation celebration. “I wish you would say,” said Col. Car- son, “that no one has any authority from me to ask for money for such a purpose, and that I have nothing whatever to do with the arrangements or plans for the celebration of Emancipation day in an of- ficial way. So if any citizens are approach- ed for contributions by people pretending to come from me they can rest assured that such representations are false.” ——.__ Granted a Divorce. - Judge Cox today granted Marie Webster a divorce from George H. Webster. The parties were married at Norfolk, Va., May 14, 1882, and Mrs. Webster charged that a few months after the marriage her hushand became addicted to the excessive use of in- toxlcating liquors, and that he.deserted her about a year later. She went to live with him again in November, 1884. He drank heavily, did little or nothing for her sup- port, and cruelly treated her, once being sent to jail for assaulting her. He denied the charges, and accused her of running off to Baltimore, Md., in 1893 with one Walter Boult. That Mrs. Webster denied. In addl- tion to the divorce, she prayed for permis- sion to resume her former name of Krejci, for the custody of their two children, for all- mony, and costs, and that her husband be restrained from interfering with her pro) erty and their children. = re ——.__ Marriage Licenses.
