PRISONER ACTED AS FENCE — Candler Had Stolen Property Hid in His House. THE JAIL MANAGEMENT The mayor’s court room was packed to the decors last night by a crowd of people who had come to listen to the trial of the case egainst William Arrington and John Henderson, charged w:th being implicate’ in the robbery of French's book store. As has been stated, the goods were found in Alexandria county yesterday afternoon in a house formerly occupied by’ Harry Candler. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Smith suc- ceeded in getting Candler to locate the stolen preperty, which he did by driving out into the county with Deputy Smith. Cendior explained the gocds be'ng in his Possession by saying that they were brought to him at the jail by William Ar- Tington, who, at the same time, he said, made him a present of a gold pen and holder, which was the article that led to the recent suspicions aga‘nst the jail asa storage place for stolen goods. Most of the stolen property has been recovered and was produced as evidence last night. Deputy Sergeant Webster, who has been conducting the investigation, was the first witness. He told about how he had gone to the jail, and Richard Burnett, who was iu Candier’s room, asked him to write a note for him. He said that Burnett had given him a gold pen to write with, and he started to leave the room, and in- advertently put the pen in his pocket, whereupon Burnett became excited and said: “For God’s sake don’t take that pen cut of here.” This arcused his suspicicns. He went to the station house and procured the warra:ts for the arrest of Candler and Burnett, but owing to the refusal of the jail officials to allow the search to be made and the delay cecasioned thereby, the plunder, whi>h Webster had seen in the jail had been spirited away before the search Wss inade. Capt. George Young and Night Watchman Gentzberger gave evidence of an immaterial rature. The Search of the Jail. Deputy Sergeant Smith was next put on the stand, and said that Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock his father (City Sergeant Smith) went out of the city; that he being first deputy was left in charge. Said he had received a telephone message from the warden stating that the officers wanted to arrest Candler and Burnett; that he in- structed him not to give them up. Asked if Warden Hayes was there. On being told he was not instructed Warden Mc- Cuen as soon as Hayes returned for both to search the jail. Then went to Judge Norton of the corporation court, whom he told of his action in the case. " After the officers searched the jail and found nothing he went out there to make a search him- seif. Upon information received from Candier he got permission -from Judge Chichester of the county court to take Candler to his former home in the county, near the Long bridge. They left in a closed carriage. On the way out Candler stated to him that Wednesday, the 18th, William Arrington came into his cell at the Jail and gave him a gold pen and at the Same time handed him a package to keep. Deputy Smith further stated that on ar- riving at Candler's house they alighted from the carriage. Candler preceded him to the house, unlocked the door and they went in. There they found the packages which had been secreted by Candler on one of his trips from the jail on furlough by the county sheriff. The package contained twenty pocket knives, three razor strops, ten razors, go!d pens, etc., which had been stolen from Mr. French. Commonwealth's attorney a&ked witness how Candler happened to be out on the 18th instant. Deputy Smith said inas- much as Candler was a county prisoner the sheriff of the county had a perfect right to take him out at will. When Dep- uty Smith had finished his testimony he placed all of the stolen property on the mayor's desk and Mr. French came for- ward and identified it, and in reply to a question said it was worth about $60. Mr. and Mrs. Burnett. Mrs. Maggie Burnett, wife of Richard Burnett, testified that Arrington and Hen- derson tried to sell her a gold pen last Monday. Richard Burnett was the next witness. He stated that he had requested Deputy Webster to write a note for him, and told him to get a pen from a box on the table. Webster went to the wrong box and got French's pen. Mr. Marbury asked him if he had had any conversation with anybody about the robbery. He replied that the men had tried to sell his wife a pen. He denied telling Deputy Webster anything about the stolen goods. Candler’s Testimony. Candler was then called, and stated that Tuesday morning Arrington and Hender- son came to the jail to visit a friend. While in the jail they paid him a visit, and Ar- rington gave him the pen, and asked him tg take charge of a package for him. Ar- ringten put the package in the pocket of Candier’s overcoat, which was hanging on the wall. About 1 o’clock the same day Sheriff Palmer called for him, and they went to the Long bridge, where he put the package away for safekeeping. He ad- mitted being away from the jail until Mon- day morning. He described Webster's visit to the jail, and said that Burnett had re- quested him to excuse himself and leave the rvom while Webster was there, which he did. Upon his return Burnett told him that Webster had gone through his effects. Later in the day Deputy Webster and Offi- cer Ferguson appeared at the jail, but he refused to admit them to his cell until City Sergt. Smith had given them permis. sion to enter. Candler stated that Arring- ton had brought the stolen goods to the jail. Candler admitted that the stolen ar- ticles found were the ones that had been brought to the jail by Arrington. Arrington and Henderson were called on for statements, but had nothing to say. They were held to await the action of the grand jury. Jail Management. The recent developments in the conduct of affairs at the jail are still the subject of much unfavorable comment, and the mat- ter is being quietly investigated by the authorities, and startling results are looked for. very indignant that Chief Webster was his men should have been denied admission to the jail, and said: “If I had been there, I would have taken an ax and broken the dcor in if 1 could have gotten in in no other way. Common law is on common sense. It is not the ran, but the paper he hojJs. With that warrant the officers could go anywhere after a prisoner. “It would be a pretty come to pass if scme one had to be looked up and con- sulted whenever an arrest or a search was to be made. I don’t think much would be accomplished in the way of arrests. If that warrant was no good for the purpose, the book had better be torn up.” There w2s a conference at the county court yesterday between Chi- chester, City Sergeant Smith, it ere! ‘puty Smith eras ti Geng William Travers was summoned be- fere Mayor Thompson to show cause why | he should not be dismissed for releasing prisoners without authority. It appears that about two weeks ago a tramp named Harry McDevitt was sent to the chain gang for thirty days. Saturday night last he came to the sta- tion house in a drunken condition and was jocked up. Sanday morning he made his sescape from the station house, as stated in Monday's Star, but was rearrested, when he stated that he had been allowed to go | Overseer Travers. At the examination Warden McCuen of the jail stated that Saturday last, when Travers returned to the jail with the chain gang, McDevitt was missing, and he asked Travers where Mas. Travers told him that he had let Mc- Devitt go, as McDevitt had promised to- leave town. Overscer Travers then took the stand in his own behalf. He cid not deny that he had let McDevitt go. but said that he had received orders from City Sergeant Smit to take the ball and chain off McDevitt and let him go. City Sergeant Smith was not at the examination but after Travers the case was continued. the mayor had left his cflice, however. S: geant Smith came in and was told what Travers had testified to. He said that Travers told him several days age that McDevitt’s leg was very much chafed by ihe chuin, and he told Travers to take t ball off him, but he did not tell him to let McDevitt go. Travers was given another hearing last night at 7 o'clock, at which time the case was continued for further investigation. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS An Alleged Disorderly House Raided on o Father's Complaint, Grant Smith Convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter—New Sentence for John Gorman.
