GE fl 1th Sts 5 of Charged With Causing the Death of Mar- cellus Bowie. ]Whe Evidence Adduced Today by the Prosecution—Dr. Glazebrook Tells of the Autopsy. The trial of Eugene Marlow, colored, for manslaughter, in having fractured the skull of Mercellus Bowle, also colored, in Feb- ruary last, from which the latter died in March, was begun this morning in Criminal Court No. 2 before Justice Bradley. Thomas L. Jones, colored. and Horace Ford represented the priscner and Mr. Bhillington prosecuted. A very small au- dience was present. The tndictment alleges that in February Jast Marlow assaulted Bowie, knocked him down a number of times, his head striking the paverrent and the street, and that early in March Bowie died from the in- juries received. Appearance of the Accused. The accused is a mulatto, about twenty- one years of age. “He is intelligent looking, with nothing in his appearance to indicate @ Vicious disposition or an evil temper. Tattooed upon his right hand, half way to the wrist, are the letters “E. M." He was neatly dressed in a gray suit, and had the spruce appearance of a smart hotel hall boy. He sat between his counsel most of the time, with arms folded, and paid close attention to the proceedings. A nervous twitching of the muscles around his mouth, and occasionally a convulsive movement of his fingers, showed the anxiety he felt. Only one panel of jurors was called, and but three were challenged, one of them evidently being to get a colored man on the jury. ‘As finally sworn, the jury was made up of Charles F. Obold, Alfred C. Hines, Thos. Fanning, Wm. H.’ Donkhorst, Chas. C. Dyer, George Burdette, W. 8. Barker, Wm. E. Morgan, W. M. Whyte, John O. T. Mc- ‘arthy, J.'S. Duvall and’ T. D. Manning, =» C0101 An Eyewitness. Edward Miller, the first witness for the Prosecution, living at No. 815 C street southeast, testified that he was an eyewit- ness of the assault Marlow made on Bowie. edeidaats thea hepsi asebesansermentoantoratininenarotcnnnone eevee CO ACE A TTT L | He was standing at the corner of 6th street | Bowie after he c: and Pennsylvania avenue southeast be- o'clock in the evening. wie came up the street. They were intoxicated, Marlow more than the other. They were’ quarreling about a quarter of a dollar for drinks. At the cor- ner, where he stood, he saw Marlow strike Bowie with his fist. They started across the street and Bowie began to run. Marlow pursued him, and at the south- west corner of the ‘street knocked him down again, Bowie's forehead hitting the pavement. Bowie got up, started to run and was knocked down again by Marlow. This was repeated several times, Bowie's head once again striking the pavement. Then Bowie fell out-in the street and did not move. Witness picked him up and set him against a tree box. Marlow wanted to fight witness for interfering. He also tried to get into fights with others who had come up. * Effort of Defendant’s Lawyer. It was sought by Lawyer Jones on cross- examination to make the witness admit that he had heard Marlow trying to per- suade Bowie to go home; ‘that he was ten- der and solicitous about it, and that every time Bowle fell he'd pick the latter up and hold him in his arms. “Now, isn’t it a fact that every time Bowis ran Marlow followed and put his arms around him?” “He hit him every time,” positively and conclusively replied Miller. ‘Testimony of Physicians. Dr. T. J. Kleider, asgistant resident phy- sician at the Washingtcn Asylum, testified that he saw Bowie the night he was hurt. ‘The injured man was under the influence of liquor. He had an incised wound and a contusion in the head. There was no evi- dence or symptom of fracture. Bowie re- mained two days and walked home with his brother. He did not show any sign of pneumonia or meningitis. Dr. W. E. Whitson of the Washington Asylum testified that he personally treated Bowie at the hospital. His evidence cor- roborated that of the preceding witness. Result of Autop: Dr. L. W. Glazebrcok testified that he performed the autopsy on the body of Bewie March 8 last. He found a fracture of the skull. Bowie died of heart failure subsequent to severe pneumonia, Whether the pneumonia developed prior to or after the fracture he could not say. iy Pneumonia follows severe injuries of the head. The fractvre was undoubtedly by some round cbject. Bowie's: skull was not as thick as that of the average colored man of his age. Dr. Wilder, colored, testified that he saw ‘ame out of the asylum | hespital, and advised him to go to Freed. men’s Hospital for treatment. Jesse Fuss, a youth, called next, swore that he saw Marlow knock Bowie down ieveral Loe eee that finally the latter unconscious in the street. interfere. ye ete “Now, didn’t Marlow accuse you, when you came up, with O’Brien and ’ others arcund you at the time, of assaulting him and Bowie previously?” asked defendant's eee a “No, he didn’t,” defiantl: aR ly answered the Other efforts by counsel to show by tk: witness that Bowle and Marlow ad bean attacked by a number of white youths prior to the fatal assault failed. —__.

Mr. Newlands of Nevada then moved that the House adopt the original Senate Proposition to allow all street railways in Roys’ and Girls’ Dressy, Serviceable Tan and Black Low and High Shoes, in all sizes, $1.25 and $1.50 qualities.

He said the result of the adop- tion of this amendment would be to es- tablish three or four great street railway systems, enabling the bankrupt lines to tle onto the paying lines and give the peo- ple longer rides for one fare. Mr. Babcock, who was one of the con- ferees, explained the situation. He said Mr. Newlands’ proposition had been voted WTI. HAHN & CO.’S RELIABLE SHOE HOUSES, 930 & 932 7th St. | 1914 & 1916 Pa. Av. 233 — Pa. A upon by the House twice. In those cir- cumstances the conferees felt they could not agree to the Senate amendment. Mr. Babcock said that the amendment authorizing all lines to purchase or lease connecting lines was dangerous legislation, opening up a wide field. It was granting a power which has not been conferred upon street railways in any other city. Mr. Cannon of Illinois advocated consoli- dation of the weaker lines with the stronger ones. He said consolidation had proved a good thing in the case of three lines, and h2 saw no reason why it should not be beneficial to others. Opposed Consolidation. Mr. Cowherd opposed the consolidation authorized by the Newlands amendment. He thought Congress should exercise the power it already possesses and compel transfers between connecting lines, He said that if a system is provided by which all roads may combine it will shut off all extension of suburban lines. As long as there is active competition th2re is good service, but as soon as roads are combined the service deteriorates. There are now three good roads compsting, and he did not want to see them given the authority to combine into one corporation. Mr. Dockery strenuously opposed the amendment. He said\hé would fight con- solidation even if it should result in a fare of 1 cent for all time.» Consolidation, he said, would destroy the element of com- petition, which he held to be essential to the public good.
