Details of the Inquiry Made by the Police Commissioners—The Repri- mand—Delegates Elected. Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King street (ell Telephone No. 106), ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 22, 1897. A called meeting of the board of police commissioners was he'd last night at the mayor's office shortly after 8 o'clock to in- vestigate the charges against Policeman Weston H. Atkinson which were preferred by Lawyer Eugene B.~Taylor. After a ses- sion lasting over two hours the commis- sioners instructed the mayor to reprimand Mr. Atkinson this morning. ‘The accused was represented by Mr. An- thony W. Armstrong. Mr. Taylor made a request of the commissioners to be per- mitted to have Mr. Samuel G. Brent rep- resent hima and prosecute tke case. This re- quest brought forth a great deal of discus- sion among the commissioners, Mr. Bryant insisting that a policeman had a perfect right to counsel in conducting his defense, tut that the commissfoners represented the city and were capable of conducting the prosecution themselves. Commissioner Strauss said he was in favor of allowing an attorney to represent Mr. Taylor. A vote ‘vas finally taken, resulting as follows: Bryant, Lindsey and Tackett, no; Strauss, y Mr. Taylor then asked permission to avestion and cross-examine witness him- self, which was allowed. The attorney then took the stand and said: “About ten days ago I was standing at the door of the Fairfax Club, on Wasi ington street, talking to Mr. William Wat- tles, when I saw a man run by me with a stick in his hand. Immediately behind him was another man, who called out to the man in lead, ‘Halt, you —- —, or I will kill you.’ This remark was repeated several times. When the men reached the alley just this side of the church the one in the lead fell to the greund, and the pur- suer ran up and kicked him several times in the side whiie ke was down, at the same time cursing him. “The man running with the stick turned out to be a tramp named Wilson, and the otker man, the one who did the kicking and cursing. was Officer Atkinson. The officer placed the tramp under arrest, and teck him to the station house. After this was all over several] of us were standing at the corner of King and Washington streets talking about the affair, and I stated that the act of the officer was a most brutal and cowardly one. After that night I never mentioned the affair to a single person. “The night of June 17 I went to the sta- tion house to attend a ward meeting being held there, ard when I reached the may- or’s office upstairs I was approached by Mr. Atkinson, who, in a most insolent man- ner, said: ‘You are the man I have been looking for.’ I asked him what he wanted. and he (Atkinson) replied, saying: ‘What is this I hear you have been saying about my cruelly treating and kicking that tramp?” “I repeated what I had seen and heard, whereupon the officer catled me a ‘d— lar.’ I told him he was anotner, whereupon the officer slapped at me, brushing his hand I then asked him whe was as I desired to report his conduct. nd the officer replied, saying: ‘You don't ow. do you; you can find out the hest I went down stairs and re- rted the matter to Chief Webster.” This enéed Mr Taylor's statement. Mr. William Wattles then took the stand He said that on the night in question he w standing at the Fairfax. Club door, alking with Taylor. His statement as to what took place cn Washington street was about the same as that teld by Mr. Taylor. Mr. Atkinson then testified in his own be- half. He narrated the facts leading up to the arrest of the two tramps, the night in question. He said that the tramps were very unruly, and had attempted to strike him with sticks which they carried. When I arrived in front of Mr. Geo. Ap- pich’s saloon, on King street,” said the officer, “both tramps bucked, and declined to go with me, one of them raised his stick and attempted to strike me, and I struck him with my fist, knocking him to the ground. “During the excitement the second tramp made his way to the corner of King and Washington streets. I was told by several citizens that they would guard the first tramp, who was then lying upon the pavement, while I went after the other one. 1 started after him and he ran up Washington street. I called to him to halt, and he would not. When the alley was reached the tramp stumbled and feil. When I arrived within about five feet of him he threw his hand back to his pistol pocket, as if he were going to draw a gun. I then rushed up to him, and not having my stick with me, kicked his hand away from his pocket. At this point the officer was asked by his attorney, Mr. Armstrong, what he had to say in regard to having cursed the tramp, as Mr. Taylor had t d. “I deny that, most emphatically,” repticd Atkinson. “I defy any living man to come forward and truthfully say he ever heard me utter a profane word in my life, and | any man who testifies that I cursed that tramp willfully perjures himseif.” In regard to what took place at the sta- tion house the night that Mr. Taylor al- jeged that he was assaulted and insulted by Officer Atkinson, Mr. Atkinson stated that he was on duty at the time Mr. Taylor came to the station house, and he asked him what it was he (Taylor) had been say- ing about him in regard to the arrest of the two tramps. : “Mr. Taylor told me that I had been guil- ty of cruel treatment and cursing the tramps,” continued Atkinson. “I told him that he was mistaken, and Taylor then said I was a d—d liar. I replied, saying ‘You are another,’ and Mr. Taylor struck me in the breast. “I thought the man was fooling.” said Mr. Atkinson, “or I would have dashed his brains out against the floor, for I will not be told that I was guilty of using profane language, which I have never done in my life, and nen be told that I am a d— liar. “Mr. Taylor asked me who was on duty, and I told him to find out the best way he could. Mr. Taylor then went down stairs, but in a few minutes returned. and I told him that I was in charge.” Upon cross- examination Mr. Atkinson said that he was not mad on the night in question and had never borne any malice toward Mr. Taylor or any other man. Several witnesses were called, all testify- ing to the fact that they had known Otticer Atkinson for a number of years,, several having worked with him, and none had ever heard Officer Atkinson use an oath of any description or kind. Chief Webster and Lieut. Smith both testified that they con- sidered Atkinson a good, faithful otticer, and neither, although thcy had seen him under the most trying circumstances, had ever heard him vtter a profane word. Mr. William. F. Carne testified that the night of the arrest of the tramp by Atkin- son he (Carne) was at the corner of King and Washington streets and saw the officer running after the tramp. “The only thing I heard,” said Mr. Carne, “was the officer calling to the man to halt. I did not hear him curse at all. Further- CASTORIA FOR Infants and Children. SEE THAT THE FACSIMILE SIGNATURE OF Chas. H. Fletcher CF EVERY BOTTLE OF CASTORIA _ high and low barometer.

From the Boston Herald. Aprepos of the proposed subscription for} the benefit of Mark ‘Twain, the humorist tells a story which would seem to say that; the appeals for contributions should not be made too long or too harrowing. A mis- sionary once visited Hartford, and made a long and pathetic appeal for funds where- with to relieve misery and distress in the slums where he was working. After lis- tening to the agonizing story of suffering, Mark Twain said to himself: “For God’s sake, send that plate round, so that I can pour my sympathy into it. I'll give these four 10)-dollar bills, and if I can get a piece of paper, I'll write a check for something more. I can very well spare a little money for a cause like that.” But the lecturer went on talking, and as he talked Twain's enthusiasm calmed, and the red flush of his sympathy became paler. “And when the missionary had been talking about ralf an hour I had saved one of those bills, and when he had talked five rainutes more two of thos bills were mine 2gain, and when he hhad been talking an hour I’ had won al) feur back, and, by gosh, when he finally ficiency in sewing, neeule work, eic.: Misses Clarissa Edmonston, Agnes Scanion, Aiice Gray, May Hisenbice, iva Meiling, Stella iievin, Neliie Koechling, Mamle McCar- thy, kdith Smith, Gertrude Clark, Nellie Harker, Blanche Becker, Mary Holey, Sa- tah Gallagher, Mar: Mangan, Katie May, Helen Kengia, Teresa Murphy, Clara Becker, May King, Mary Kelly, Reginia Sheckeis, hatie Kota, Fannie Riordan, Mary Sweeney. - in typewriting—Misses Alice Gray, Agnes Scanlon, Mamie Murphy, Mamie Quilter, Mary McMakon, it panting Misses Lillan Keefe, Louise er, retto Sulliv: May Ms Scanion, Nellie Koechiing etree Se Infant Violator of Law. “Little boy, wait until the Fourth of July before exploding any more fireci‘ackers,” admonished Judge Mills today, in;the Po- lice Court, as he directed that 1Franklin Ball, a colored lad about tourlyear¥ of age, be released on his personal bids, It seems thag Franklin could not check kis youthful patriotism yesterday, ‘and, ac- cording to the information, filed ‘th court, “did then and there set off!certain fire- crackers in Chester court.” i Policeman Boswell made tht arfest, but id send that plate round, I borrowed ten | the court, after giancing at the fitue fel- certs out of it to pay my car fare home.” | lew, decided that he did not?¢aré"to hear ES aes any’ testimony, Franklin wag’ scafed very 2 a ly, and lost no time in lea’ i court A Jag and a Bag of Crabs ee cnn < From the Philadelphia Reeord. ee A man with a jag and a bag of live crabs Drove Too Fastx: For fast driving yesterday “on Pennsyi- vania avenue Thomas Jones Was prrested by Policeman Duvall.

At South street the crabs woke up and made themselves in evidence by breaking through the paper bag and making hideous grimaces at the passengers. One drowsy woman opened her eyes to find one of the crawling creat- ures on her lap. With a yell she arose and shook her skirts, but the crab held on. A brave youth relieved the woman of the crab, threw it on the floor and kicked it. Several other crabs, which escaped from the bag, could be noticed receiving like treatment in different parts of the car. To say that their owner was fierce would be putting it mildly. In language that was thick and highly colored, he invited the entire contents of the car to fight. It was then that the conductor told him to collect his crabs and get ae which he finally did, greatly to the rel! of the other passen- gers. —_—_——— If you want an: Star.

Another Clue Followed With the Same Result That Has Rewarded Simi- lar Efforts in the Past. Another “sure thing” on the where- abouts of Dorsey Foultz, the fugitive mur- derer, exploded last night when a squad of detectives went to a house and made a search. Information concerning his wherea- bouts was given to the detectives yesterday morning, and so favorable an impression was made on them that Inspector Hollin- berger had the men meet at the -ietective office last night and start out together to make the capture. It was after 8 o'clock when the start was made, and the ar- Tangements were so complete and the in- formation apparently so reliable that it seemed only a question of a short time be- fore Dorsey would be in a cell. But, like other clues, the investigation proved fruit- less, and the officers returned without their man. “Look here,now,” he said, ‘you men done far from where Foultz lived, and not far from the sewer in which it was thought the fugitive had been in hiding. More than two weeks ago this same house was searched by Detective Boyd, and it was Searched again about 2 o'clock Sunday Taorning. Made Him Tired. It was about 10 o'clock last night wher the officers reached the house, and the old man who lives there complained that he was tired of being visited in this way. “I.ook here now,” he said, “you men done been in my house three times, and I want you to keep away, or I'll see what I can 0. One of the women in the house made an effort to extinguish the light, but the house was surrounded, and had Vorsey been there ke wotld hardly have been able to make his escape. A man who is well acquaintea with Foultz says he saw him on “Bluebird Hill” yester- day about 6 o'clock, and that he had a pistol in his hand. "This information was conveyed to the police, and some of them really believe it. A Suspect in Virginia. ‘This morning a copy of a picture taken of the suspect upder arrest at Keysville, Va., was received by Inspector Hcllin- berger, but it had faded so much that iJen- tification was rendered impossible. Special OSicer Brockenbrough, who is weil ac- quainted with Foultz, is positive that the suspect is not Foultz, and he is equally positive that the fugitive is still here. It is his opinion that Dorsey spends most of his time in the woods and is being fed by friends. While many policemen are of the same opinion, there are some who believe s not been here since the day he cum- ed the murder. e descriptive postals containing the f a reward of2850 for his apprehension e all been sent out, and there is y a sheriff or deputy sheriff in Maryland or Virginia who does not know of the offer. And there is scarcely an officer in the two states whd is not on the lookout for the The result is that strange col- men in the states are being Icoked upon with suspicion by the officers, and al- ready several of them have been arrested. All these strangers are overhauled and re- quired to account for themselves, and it is likely that this search will result in the ar- rest and Incarceration of a number of co! ored nomads before Foultz is finally cap- tured. os BRAVE ACT. A Young Man Stops Team. Today, about noon, a pair of horses draw- ing the Mctropolitan Hotel coach ran away and scer: of pedestrians who were in front of the District buildings and saw the team pass feared the result would be dis- astrous. The horses were making fast time as they came up Indiana avenue, the vehicle alternating berween the concrete paved car tracks and the granite block pavement. So much noise was, made by the rattling of the heavy coach over the stone pavement that a number of drivers had time to start their horses and get out of the way. There were other teams stand ing along the line of the curb which w not in charge of drivers, but the runawa horses managed to make turns at the right time and steer clear of them. In fr of the District building the team came pear striking a Metropoiitan electric car, id then the horses sped down the Louis jana avenue hill in the direction of 7th street. Fortunately there was no car on the tracks of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad, and the vehicle crossed without having inflicted any damage. When the team got near the Central Union Mission the horses were going faster than ever, and despite the dangerous surround- ings a young man named Frank Miiler, who lives at 718 6th street, rushed from in front of the second-hand store and grabbed the horses. ‘Those on the sidewalk who witnessed’ his daring act expectel he would lose his life in his effort to save the team and possibly prevent the kill! of a pedestrian at the 7th street crossing. For an instant the young man held to the bridies, but he was unable to hold on, for the animals succeeded :n pulling the lines from him, and he fell directly in front cf them. He had succeeded in checking the speed of the horses to such an extent that Policeman Newkirk was able to bring them to a full stop. In falling the young man went under the pole of the vehicle, and when the coach had passed he got up and walked to the sidewalk, much to the sur- prise and delight of the crowd that tad gathered, for it was feared that the wheels haa passed over him. Besides being badly shaken up the young man was not injured. The coach was slightly damaged. ———— EXPECTORATED IN A STREET CAR. a Runaway The First Arrest Under the Recent Regulations Made on the Avenue. The first arrest under the police regula- tion, which recently went into effect, pro- hibiting expectorations in street cars, was made last evening. The offender was Jo- seph Robertson, a laboring man, and he was taken into custody while a passenger on a car of the Capital Traction Company which was passing along Pennsylvania avenue. Policeman Van Horn made the arrest on complaint of the conductor of the car, Geo. Colbert. Robertson was escorted to a nearby sta- tion house, where he posted $5 collateral for his appearance today in the Police Court. On the oath of Policeman Van Horn an information was filed this morning setting forth that Robertson “on the 2ist day of June, on Pennsylvania avenue, did then and there expectorate and spit in a certain street car.” Prosecuting Attorney Pugh in- vestigated the case in his office, and learned that the policeman had arrested the man without a warrant, and merely on com- Plaint of the conductor. Such a course, the prosecuting attorney informed the po- liceman, was imprcper, and instructions were issued that in the future no arrests should be made in such cases without a warrant, unless the commission of the of- fense should be witnessed by the’ police- man. : As the case described was the first brought under the law, and in view of the surrounding circumstances, Prosecuting Attorney Pugh permitted Robertson to for- feit one dollar of the collateral deposited. ‘The case was not taken into court. ——_ __ Real Estate Transfers.

CONDENSED LOCALS A bicycle belonging to Mr. Wilmot Lake of 90 Florida avenue was stolen three weeks ago from in front of Corson & Ma- cartney’s bank, and yesterday a colored men named Lee made an cfiort to dispose of the wheel. Detectives Boardman and Gallaher interviewed Lee, and they learned tiat he had purchased the bicycic from an urknown white man. He had paid $3 on account, and the seller had not returaed for the balance of the mone Lee is $8 out, and Mr. Wilmot gets back his wheel. Benning road between the bridge and Penning is narrow and has not even a side- path for pedestrians. Persons living in this bart of the county complain thai in bad weather the road is aimost impassable on account of the mud, while in dry weather walking is rendered unpleasant because cf the dust. They hope that ihe road wi'l scon be widened and a boardwalk or bricx sidewalk put dowa. A sixth precinct policeman arrested a bicycle last night fer being out unattended after hours. The wheel was found at tir ccrner of ith and E streets, and when its owner missed it this morning, he thought that some thief had fallen in love with it. He had reason to rejoice at his good for- ture, when he learned of the whereabouts of his steed, and today he is riding in com. fort instead of being in nervous search of a thief. It is said that Maj. Mocre is Belng to make an effort to decrease the number of policemen detailed on special duty at dif- ferent places in order that they may be placed on the streets where their services are most fleeded. The detail of so many men cripples the working of the force to 4 great extent. Six policemen are detailed at the Police Court, where some of them have to perform the duties of the bailiffs, and this is one of the details t ay lessened. eee The carriageway on Van street south- east between New Jersey avenue and I reet is in a dangerous condition, and sev- ral holes in the sidewalk on L’ street in the same section have been reported.
