After being treated by a physician he was taken home by friends. ON A GRAVE CHARGE Michael Hurney Held for Murder of Aloysius Johnson, ACCUSED OF INFLICTING FATAL BLOW Arrested by Sheriff of Montgomery County,-Md. ACTION OF CORONER’S JURY eee Michael J. Hurncy, twenty-eight years old, whose occupation, as given, is that of a bariender, was locked uff last night at the first precinct station on a charge of murder. He is aecused of being responsible for the Geath of Albert Aloysius Johnson, who received fatal Injuries at Cabin John bridge Sunday night. Detectives Peck and Herndon arrested him on a warrant sworn out by Sheriff Williams of Montgomery county, at Rockville, yesterday morning. The arrest was made after Coroner Carr had held an inquest and the jury had been unable to fix the responsibility for the an's death. The jury me Lee’s under- king estabiishment, and after hearing the testimony of a number of wilnesses return- ed a verdict that Jehnson was assaulted in Maryland by some person to the jury un- known. Among the witn who were examined was Hurney, who is now charged with the crime. Ap; he most im- poriant witne to the ult, the son of the man who keeps the peanut stand, was not called by the detectives. So far as the evidence was concerned, it is de- clared, the fight in which Hurney partici- pated occurred in front of the hotel more 1 two hours after Johnson had been Attorney ery county was p ent at the in- ¢ witness th precinct sta- tion for the Maryland authorities. It was stated today that a requisition for him will reach here from Governor Smith tomorrow. His friends have secured the services of At- terney Tracy L. Jeffords, who will appear in court tomorrow when the requisition is presented. Testimony Before the Jury. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook testified that he performed the autopsy upon the body of Johnson yesterday afternoon. After telling of the condition of the clothing of the dead man, the witness described the numerous wounds on his face. His left eye was black. Witness removed the scalp and found a large hemorrhage under it on the left side. The skull of the deceased was unusually thick and tough. There was a general congestion of the brain. Death, he said, was the result of hemorrhage and shock. There was no fracture of the skull. Because of the thickness of the skull wit- said the injury could hardly have ulted from a blow with the fist. It was opinion that a hard, blunt instrument, something like a blackjack or sandbag, had been used. Witness also found sev- eral wounds on the left hand of the de- ceased. Dr. Arthur M. McNamee of the George- town University Hospital testified that he saw Johnson several hours after he was admitted to the hospital, and he was then unconscious. His face was covered with blood, and his left ear was also filled with blood. An attending physician told wit- hess the man was bleeding when he was admitted to the hospital. The case, he said, was diagnosed as one of a fracture at the base of the brain. Johnson died Tues- day afternoon at 2:40 o'clock. The patient was under the care of Dr. Vaughn. He said Johnson was completely paralyzed be- fore he died. He never regained conscious- ness. y is held at the Johnson's Friend Testifies. James E. Greer, 1309 L street northwest testified that he went to Cabin John Sunday afternoon and reached there, he thought, about 4:30 o'clock. Johnson went. into the hotel and remained awhile and then joined witness on the porch. Witness met friends while he was at the bridge. About 7 o'clock they started toward the cars. When they reached the east end of the bridge Johnson bought two packages of peanuts. They then started toward the car, but Johnson said he wanted some more peanuts and started back. He later saw a badly dis- figured man lying on the bridge, but he did not recognize him as his friend Johnson. Being unable to find Johnson, as he sup- Posed, he got on a car. The injured man Was Dut on the front of the car and wit- ness had no dea of his identity until he heard somebody say: “That's Sergeant Sul- livan’s brother-in-law.” Witness _ then ecognized his friend and accompanied him the hospital. Johnson, he said, was a quiet, inoffensive man, and he Was perfectly Sober at the time he was assaulted. It was dark when the affair happened, and there was no light on the bridge. When he saw his friend lying on the bridge some man lighted a match and asked: “Do you know the man?" ‘The man who asked the que tion was a stranger. Witness said he saw three Maryland Agricultural College cadets near him, a short distance from the bridge. he witness was questioned at length by Mr. Talbott, who asked him if he saw two men, whom described, near the bridge. A man who was apparently intoxicated, and who wore a white fedora hat, {t was said, Was there apparently apologizing to the cadets. Witness heard nothing of a row. Witnesses Who Knew Nothing. James Shugrue, who resides on the Con- duit road, testified that he was at Cabin John Sunday, but he left there between 4 and 5 o'clock. He said he knew nothing about the trouble that occurred when John- Son Was assaulted. Lloyd Cross, 3238 M street, was next sworn. He was unable to tell why he had been summoned. He sald he spent Sun- day in Prince George’s county, beyond koma Park. Hubert E. -Kelly, 830 New Hampshire avenue, told the jury that he knew nothing of the affatr. iy were you summoned for?” he was asked. “That's what I've been trying to find out,” was the answer. Witness said he was at Cabin John Hotel Sunday night, but he did not even hear the case discussed. Detective Peck waz called and asked why the previous witnesses had been summoned. The witness, Kelly, he said, was called be- cause he wrote a letter to a young lady ex- plaining that he had been unable to keep an engagement, because he got into trouble at Cabin John Sunday night. When he had told why the other witnesses had been called, Cross was recalled and he denied that he had made a certain statement c cerning the trouble at Cabin John. He w in @ saloon on 9th street when witness re- marked to a man: look as ou have been up at Cabin John bridge. He heard no statement about Johnson hay ng been struck with a heer bottle. Witness denied that he named two boys, and that he had said they had come from Cabin John bridge with beer bottles in their pockets.

Thomas Flynn, 2226 G street northwest, testified- that he met Johnson and Greer at the bridge together. They had a couple of drinks together, and witness saw no more of them. Witness said he went to the bridge with Hugh Hurney and a friend named Patrick Dorsey. While up there he saw Michael Hurney and a man known Aleck." Witness left there about o'clock. Just outside the hotel, he A Hugh Hurney was struck and knocked down. Michael Hurney, he said, sent for him yesterday atternoon. He went to Georgetown and saw him and, he said, Hurney asked him if he had been sum- moned. vhere the Row Started. Frank S. Fowler, who conducts the pea- nut stand at the bridge, testified that the row started in front of his stand, and a man whom he believed was Johnson, at- tempted to act as peacemaker. While he was thus engaged some man struck him. The men, he said, fought along the plat- form toward the bridge, and he heard a man in the crowd say, “Give it to him, There was a hat picked up and > heard a man call to some men on the “Come Tap.” The man who he sald, did not answer. ') son saw the blow inflicted and can identify the man who struck the blow. Witn aid a doctor worked on the injured man nearly an hour before he was put on a car and started to- ‘d the city. He identified the clothing of the deceased as having been worn by the peacemaker. The one who w > anx- ious to fight and who really started the fight was the man called “Dann Fow- ler said he had not seen him since Sunday night. Hugh Hurney, 3605 M street, testified that he was at Cabin John Sunday night, but he knew nothing of the Johnson ult un- til the next morning. whose right eye and nose were badly discolored, said he was assaulted just after he left the hotel. One man knocked him down and another struck him. “I was almost killed,” said witness. The Man Accused. Michael J. Hurney, 340) N street, was next examined. He testified that he was at Cabin John from 5 o'clock in the after- noon until 10 o'clock at night, and he knew nothing of Johnson being injured until he was on his way home. Witness said he was present at fhe hotel when his brother was assaulted. He went to his brother's assist- ance, and somebody in the crowd cut his (witness’) head. Witness said he sent for Flynn because he knew Flynn was at Cabin John Sunday night. ‘The witness Hubert Kelly was recalled and asked if he had written a letter to a irl in which he told her he had been in trouble at Cabin John bridge Sunday. “Did you get into any trouble?” asked Mr. Talbo “No, sir. He explained that he had an engagement with a girl, and pe told her he was in trou- ble in order to make her mad. Witness said a friend of his named Mull was assaulted at Cabin John Hotel Sunday. Bird Sloan, 121 F street northwest, tes- tifled that he was at the bridge when John- son was assaulted. He sald he saw John- son pai him and a tall man whom he partly described was after him. Vitness saw the man strike Johnson with his fist. Johnson ran toward the bridge and the tall man followed him. Witness did not See the blow struck on the bridge. He did hear some one say: “Give {t to him, Sloan said he went over to the bridge and saw Johnson lying there, but he was so badly disfigured that he (witness) did not gnize him. ‘This closed the testimony and the case Was submitted. Nolle Pros. Entered to Indictment Against C. C. Conlee. The United States district attorney today entered a nolle pros. in the case of Cheever C. Conlee, a young man of this city, under indictment for an assault with intent to kill made upon James F. McCarter. This action finally disposes of the case, and the charge against Conlee 1s erased.

THE HEALTH HABIT JUST AS BASY TO FORM AS ANY OTHER. We do not deliberately form our pet habits, but they ure uuconsctously acquired and grow as we grow, and by the time we learn they are hurting Us, we find them too strong to be easily broken. ‘Then, why not form a good habit, a habit which will counteract the many bad ones, in other words, contract the unfashionable habit of being always well. ‘The best health habit to get into Js to have and keep a vigorous stomach; if you have a healthy digestion you can drink your beloved coffee, smoke your favorite brand of tobacco, with ttle or no harm; the mischief begins when these things are forced upon the faithfut stomach, without any as- sistance. Form the habit of taking after meals some harm- less but efficient digestive which will relieve the stomach of 80 much extra work. Nature furnisnes us with such digestives, and when they are combined In such a pleasant prepa- ration as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets they give the overworked stomach just the hecessary assistance to secure perfect digestion without any of the harmful effects of cathartics and similar drogs, ‘The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is as necessary to the weak stomach as food itself, and, indeed, to get the benefit from food eaten, nothing better and certainly nothing safer can be used. Many families consider Stuart's Tablets as es- sential tn the house as knives and forks. They consist entirely of natural digestive prin- ciples without. the effect or characteristics of drugs; they have no cathartic action, but simply go to work on the food eaten and digest it. ‘Tuke into account your bad habits and the ex- pense they entail, and then invest fifty cents in a box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and see if your digestion for the neat month ts not vastly im- proved. E Ask the clerk In any drug store the name of the most successful and popular stomach remedy, and he will say “Stuarts.” aploalo Friday Fair: Fresh Westerly Winds, Friday fair; fresh westerly Weather conditions and general forecast —The storm-center which occupied upper Lawrence valley, and the barometer !s low along the northern border of the country There were indications last night of a Rio Grande river, and this morning this Heavy rain has fallen in the south At- reported for the twelve hours ending at 8 Fair and cooler weather is indicated for The following were the readings of the thermometer and barometer at the weather bureau for the twenty-four hours beginning 8 FINANCTAL.
