He Refraincd From Stealing More When He Had an Apportunity— Court Imposes Sentence. Thomas Varrick Hawkins, the colored messenger who robbed the safe of Collec- tor of Taxes E. G. Davis the 3ist of last sm August of nearly $9,000, and who fled to i Canada, was sentenced late yesterday af- collectively ee ternoon in Criminal Court No. 1 to three their attendance years’ imprisonment in the New Jersey at our annual state prison, at hard labor, the extreme open- penalty’ provided for grand larceny. ing re- As reported in The Star, Hawkins pleaded’ : guilty yesterday morning, Attorney J. McD. ce eption. Carrington, at the prisoner's request, being so Simt- assigned to address the court for him. Mr. Carrington was engaged in the trial of an- other case during the greater part of the day, and at recess he had an interview with Hawkins in the basement cage. Mania for Wandering. When brought up for sentence, Hawkins handed Mr. Carrington a statement of sev- eral pages, which he wished the court to read. Mr. Carrington said Hawkins had informed him that when a mere boy he suffered an injury to his head, which at times caused him to become possessed of an insane desire to wander. It was this desire to wander from his own fireside, Hawkins explained to his counsel, whica induced him to help himself to the contents of Mr. Davis’ safe. Mr. Carrington also explained that Hawkins desired the court to know that he had during his service under the District government saved it not less than $14,000, the self-confessed thief naively explaining that he and others might have stolen that much of District funds, but did not, and in that way saved it to the District govern- ment. Hawkins’ statement was handed up to Chief Justice Bingham, but the judge did not even glance over it, remarking that if the man had previously refrained from rob- bery, he had merely acted as he was ex- pected to do, and as he should have done, but did not thereby place the District gov- ernment under any obligations to him. Attorney Shillington Explains, Assistant District Attorney Shillington, reviewing Hawkins’ connection with the collector of taxes’ office, explained the circumstances of the robbery, and called the court's attention to the fact that Hawkins has not yet accounted for some- thing like $400 of the stolen money. Mr. Shillington also explained that while lar- ceny from the United States is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000, ur im- prisonment for not more than ten years, or both, the maximum penalty for larceny from the District is but three years. While he would not suggest to the court the term of imprisonment, Mr. Shillington stated that the government believed the imposi- tion of the maximum penalty for grand larceny would, unfortunately, be inade- quate. lar event in our history has been honored with such a large and appreciative audience of thé la- dies of Washington!" == Owing to the>delayed: arrival of many of our choicest and handsom- est creations in the, Street Costumes and | decided to continue’ thé pening for the balance of this “week ‘to enable you to view the recent arrivals.

When asked if he had anything to say, Hawkins shook his head, and, covering his face with a handkerchief, leaned forward upon a table while the court imposed sen- tence. The chief justice remarked that three years amounted to a yery light penalty, and expressed surprise that no greater penalty for grand larceny is imposed in this jurisdiction. “I observe,” said the court to Hawkins, “that you are fully conscious of the enor- mity of your offense, and if you are truly hundreds of them last. year -aud propose to double our sales this year. $1.39 penitent you will have time in the three. years that you will be confined in prison Our special price fi these Suits is. = : to complete your reformation and guard Wm.

The entire exterior is covered with plas- ter and a rough-coated surface, commonly called .“‘pebble dashed.’ The large sur- rounding grounds were ornamented with rare trees and shrubbery. This was form- erly the home of Lewis Carbery, esquire, and has been recently sold by his grand- son, Louis P. Shoemaker, to Mr. Thomas E. Waggaman. Mr. Carbery, as will be remembered by the very old residents, was not only highly respected and esteemed as a resident of Georgetown, but as a valu- able citizen of the District of Columbia and a man of marked ability. He was engmeer of the District of Co- lumbia, a position similar to the Engineer Commissioner under our present form of government, and Mr. Wm. Forsyth, the late surveyor of the District, remarked to a Star reporter today that the accurate and efficient professional labors of Mr. Carbery form some of the most valuable records of the present surveyor’s office. He was a member of the levy court, which represented the interests of the county of Washington, as it was then called, and had charge of all the important engineering enterprises of the District in his day. His brother, Captain Thomas Carbery, was mayor of Washington city in 182%, and for many years president of the Bank cf Metropolis, now the National Metro- politan Bank, located then, as it is now, 15th street between F and G streets north- west. The purchaser of this property, Mr. Thos. E. Waggaman, will at once remove the old dwelling and construct a number of mod- ern residences upon the lot, which is quite large. ee —.—_— Transfers of Real Estate.
