Oharge of Having Kept : a Gathing Table, They Are Comveyed to Alexandria, Where They Will Be Arraigned —The Attorney's Statement. Daniel Benton, -Frank Boswell, George Heath and Harry Reiley were today sur- rendered by Chief Justice Bingham into the custody of Sherifr Palmer of Ajexan- dria ccuaty, Virginia, and by the latter, conveyed to Alexandria. The requisitions, charging them with the crime of having kept a gaming table in Virginia and with being fugitives from justice, were granted after a hearing. Edmond Burke, their lawyer, stated to a Star reporter-that the men will be ar- raigned today before Judge Love in the criminal ccurt at Alexandria, and released on bail. Mr. Burke explained to the chief justice, when the hearing began, that all his clients were present except Boswell, who had, through a mistake, gone to Alexan- dria. He would return to this city, he said, as soon as he could be reached, and, in- deed, Boswell surrendered himself before the hearing concluded. z In presenting the case, Mr. Shillington. for the government, stated that Mr. Burke had waived identifi¢ation as to the persons wanted, and also had admitted that his clients. were in Virginia within the period of time alleged in the indictments against them. Mr. Burke stated that he had done this in order to expedite the hearing, but he denicd that the men had been in’ Vir- sinia March 27 last, the day specially named. Mr. Burke then asked that the court dis- charge the men on the ground that they have been tried and acquitted once on the very charge and for the same offense as stated in the requisition. He said they were regularly tried before a justice of the peace having exclusive and original juris- diction in Virginia over such cases, and were acquitted. He produced the records gcing to prove his statement and submitted them to the court. “These men aré not fugitives from jus- tice in any sense. of the word,” said he; “in fact, they are quite the reverse. They returned to Virginia, submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the court and were acquitted. These requisitions have been based upon misinformation. They never wculd have been signed by the governor of Virginia had he known the true facts in the case. It is persecution. They are the vietims of rival prosecutors, who are anx- fous to get their share of the fines If any had been imposed. One goes to the jus- tice of the peace and swears out warrants and the other goes before the grand jury and procures indictments, It was a race for the spoils. It is not right that my client should be so harassed. The court must be satisfied that they are fugitives from justice before granting these requisi- tions. I have produced the records of the court of exclusive jurisdiction, showing that they were arrested, tried and acquit- ted upon the identical charge now made against them. Therefore I ask their dis- charge.”” = 9 Mr. Shillington said the plea that they have been tried and acquitted is a special plea which shouldbe put in when they are brought beforesthe court at Alexan- dria, and is of no avail in this jurisdic- ticn, All that tQe alfief justice had to do is to be sures thdt the requisition is in du> form, theragpies of the indictment properly certified; theiparties in court iden- tified as the ones wanted, and that they were within the staté at some time within the period alleged nthe indictment. These points had been watyed and, therefore, the court should grant the requisition. After a long ar@ement the chief justice stated his conclusiery which was practically the same as thatadvanced by Mr. Shilling- /ton, and the.mey piere ordered, to, be sur- rendered intg the gugtody, of the Virginia authorities. : Go) 4 ” ATTEMP?SD ‘MURDER. oisd_blos Sqmuel Mason Vents His Jealous Rage 4 on 240m Bde Wifes cong oouIL Dulce Mason, the colored woman who aWwas assaulted with: aivock by her husband, Samuel Mason, of:!No. 5 McCullough stteet northwest, yesterday: afternoon at Notley Hall and -seriously tjured, is stik at the Wmetgency Hospital. While sheds in a critical condition, her chance for recovery is said to be good. Mason and his wife, with a friend, Emma Coleman, and Robert Grady, a colored man, went to Notley Hall yesterday afternoon on a picnic given by the Fourth Baptist Church. It is said that jealousy of Grady caused Mason to at- tempt the life of his wife. 3 Mason left the party soon after arriv- ing at the pienie grounds. Grady and the two women walked to a bench near the pavilion and sat down. A few minutes Jater Mason appeared on the scene, and, calling his wife aside, it is said, quarreled with her for about two minutes, and was then seen to strike her on the head with a large rock. The, woman fell to the ground senseless.’ r husband hit her again, however, before he could be inter- fered with. Special Officers Gibbons, Smith and Haskins arrested” the man, and it was with difficulty they prevented the crowd from dealing summarily with their pris- oner. He was placed in the lockup at Not- ley Hall, which is in St. George's county, Md. The woman was brought to this city on the steamer and was at once taken to the Emergen Hospital. Her skull is badly crushed, but she is quiet and may recover. : —_—- THE AWFUL GUNNERY. Opinion of Spanish Marksmanship Given by Eyewitness, Capt. Beach, the District Engineer Com- missioner, has a brother on the Associated Press boat Dandy, which vessel has been in Cuban waters for several weeks. In a recent letter home the young man describes Commodore Schley’s first engagement with the batteries of Santiago de Cuba. The shore batteries were aided by the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cervera within the harbor, and young Beach writes that the fight was a very pretty one, he having a good view of it about two miles distant from the American fleet, which was about five miles off shore. He says: “It was simply wonderful to see how close the Americans put their shots to the mark and how rapidly they fired. It really seemed as though not one shell was wasted. The gunnery of the Spaniards was actually comical. Sometimes they would miss our ships by at least two miles, and this, too, when the American vessels were in plain sight and easy range. The sailors on our boats, after the fight was over and the Spaniards were still banging away, would watch for the Spanish shots and yell in de- light at their awful, shgoting. x “I see no chancé ‘of our getting back to Key West until after the Spanish fleet is disposed of. It will nof’take long to do the business, once the American ships get past the mines at the ‘entrdnce to the harbor, and th®n the war will We over as far as the south side of the fsland (Cuba) is concern- ed. This place, Port Antonio, Jamaica, is one of the most ‘beautiful places I have ever seen, but the telegraph system down here is a fearful ani whnderful thing. The methods of these peoplé in doing business are something awful.’ They simply cannot get a move on them.” re 10 v0 CHARLES Ho.PAMSONS DEAD. rs Long a Trusted Omicial of Internal’ Reveniie’ Bureau. _ The death of Charles Henry Parsons, cashier of the United States internal reve- nue bureau during the civil war, occurred in this city a few days ago. He was born December 1, 182J, at Amherst, Mass., but emigrated to Ohio in 1842. In 1862 he was called to this city by the Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase, and appointed as one of the first clerks in the internal revenue bureau, which was organized to provide funds to meet the expenses of the war of the rebellion.

While in Philadelphia he was appointed cashier of the internal revenue bureau without his knowledge or solicitation. This office he held until it was abolished by Congress, about two and a half years later. During his incumbency he handled eight hundred and thirty mil- lions of dollars, being, according to a state- ment of Treasurer F. E. Spinner, the larg- est sum ever deposited in the United States treasury by one man in a similar length of time. While serving as cashier of the in- ternal revenue bureau Mr. Parsons, acting under an order signed by President Lin- coln, bid in the Arlington estate for the government, when it was sold at auction xes. ri epereone was a personal friend of both President Lincoln and Secretary Chase, and enjoyed their utmost confidence. For a short time he held the position of chief clerk of the supervising architect's office, under Mr. A. B. Mullett. Since 1876 Mr. Parsons had suffered from the effects of a sunstroke, and finally poor health obliged him to relinquish ail active business. For over thirty-five years Mr. Parsons had resided on Capitol Hill. His death occurred at his residence, 112 C street southeast. —_+_—_ Bieycle Stolen.
