The grard jury for the January term completed their term of service yesterday afternvon, and were discharged by Chief Justice Bingham, with the thanks of the court, after returning the following in- dictments: Lewis McKenzie Turner and Philip McElhone, violation of sections 5403, 5406, of the Revised Statutes, and act of June 19, 1878; Telemague T. Tunayenes, violation of section 3893, Revised Statutes (sending obscene letter through the mail); Robert J.

Batchelder, John W. Barnes, forgery; Joseph W. Geyer and Lawrence Ball, housebreaking; Lincoln 3. Forrest, pretenses; John G, Jones, murder; Jolin Beckett, “concealed weapons, second offense. The charge of forgery against Fred, Hubert was ignored. The three indictments returned against Lewis McKenzie Turner and Philip McEl- hone, the young employes of the Congres- Library, charge that November 5, they did “feloniously steal, take and carry away” a piece of paper, valued at $100, entitled “A return of the troops of the western expedition under the command of Maj. General Sullivan,” in the hand- writing of George Washington, command- er of the American troops during the war of the revolution. This was a part of the historical collection of Peter Force, pur- chased fcr the Congressional Library un- der the act of March, 186 that on No- vember 330, 1896, they took a letter writ- ten by Ber.edict Arnold to Nathantel Shaw, bearing date of September 19, 1780, valued at $100; that ancther letter written by Arnold from “Headquarters Robinson,” dated September 10, 1780; that they took some manuscript in the form of a circular letter, containing ten pages, bearing Wash- ington’s signature, and a book entitled “Washington’s Private Diary for the Year 1787," of the value of $300. January 26, 1807, the indictment charges, they took two books valued at $5,000, both in manuscript, and said to be “Orderly books of Sir Edward Braddock r the period from February to June, 1 Both books contain handwritings of George Washington, and being a part of the Peter Force collection; that on January 28, 1897, they took a letter written by Thomas Paine to Col.

All the other allegations in the indictments are brought under section 5403 and 5456 of the Revised Statutes. The value of the papers aileged to have been stolen exceeds $5,000. ———_—. Forgery Proved. Howard M. Batchelor, a young and neat- ly attired white man, of more than or- divary intelligence, pleaded guilty in Crim- inal Court N. 1 today of forging the name of his brother-in-lgw, E. P. Watkins, the 2a of last month to a $0 check on the Farmers and Mechanics’ National Bank of Georgetown. While not so charged, Batch- elor confessed to forging Mr. Watkins’ name to several other checks on the same bank. He claimed that he had been ne- Sorted by his family. He also stated that he had previously enjoyed a good reputa- tion.

MR. BELL'S RESIGNATION, It Was Accepted to Take Effect Yes< terday. The Secretary of the Interior has ac- cepted the resignation of Henry C. Bell, second deputy commissioner of pensions, to take effect at once. In a@ statement given to the Associated Press Pension Commis- sioner Evans. speaking of the resignatton, said: “On the 27th of April, 1893, Mr. Bell velunterily relinquished his claim for pen- ston. On Thursday last I was sworn in as commissioner, but owing to other business apperiaining to the office which I had b fore the Interior Department, I did not take active hold of the office until Satur- day. During the interregnum, while First Deputy Commissioner Dana in charge, Mr. Bell had his pension restored, dating from the 28th of April, 1805, giving him the original rate and entitling him to ove 00 back money. Friday Mr. Bell tendered his resignation as deputy, and o above facts becoming known, Secretary Pliss promptly epted the resignation, dating from today Mr. Evans added that Mr. Bell had not yet received his back money, and that his active participation in the last campaign in behalf of Bryan and Sewall had noth- ing whatever to do with the action of the Secretary in the matter. Mr. Bell's successor has not yet been selected. Mr. Bell, speaking today to a Star re porter of his pension and of the press com- ments thereon, said: “I do not desire to discuss the matter at this time further than to say that the matter will be care- fully considered by Commissioner Evans, whom I regard as a just man, and when this is done, I feel satisfied that he will fiad that the claim for restoration was properly filed, properly adjudicated and properly allowed. As to Secretary Bliss telling me that he had plenty of good re publicans, and would not allow me to rm main in the classified service In even @ minor position, I will say that no such con- versation was ever had by Mr. Bliss with me.”” Mr. D. F. Groff, a well-known Foung professional man of this city, had a very narrow escape today from relegation to the dock of the Police Court for contempt. Mr. Groff was on trial for cruelty to ant- mals, and at the conclusion of the testi- mony Judge Kimball imposed a fine of $5. “And that’s a very unjust fine,” remark- ed Mr. Groff. “What's that, sir?” said Judge severely. “Be caretul; one more that character and you will find in the dock.” Mr. Groff hastily paid the fine the reom Mrs. Mary R. Knowlton of the Hu the prosecuting witness. stated Saturday morning last’ she saw a dog in the yard fronting Mr. Groft's street, apparently in great o "Mr. Grof admitted to her that he cked th> breath from the animal, and had reason to belie’ ve that it was struck with ton. Some one raised "and consider- able excitement follow Kimball word of yourself and left Miss Alice Riddle explained to the court that she saw the dog lying, rigid in the yard. In his defense, Mr. Groff deciared that the dog was a great nuisance. He hit it, but not in a cruel manner. The fine stated was then imposed. ns Has Disappeared, Lieut.
