WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The new dis
trict attorney, Gov Wells, cannot take
of his office here any too soon
for the welfare of the community, and the
punishment of criminals Fisher and his
promising son has possession of the office
until September. The latter is evidently
making use of his little time left, as an in-
cident in the police court to-day will show.
In June last burglar by the name of L.
Schneider opened the dry goods store of
Perry Brothers, and took away some So
900 worth Of silks. He was afterwards
captured and committed to Jail, to await
hearing. This morning, when his case
was called in the police court, it was dis
covered that the bird had flown. He had
been released on bail The clerk of the
court, upon being asked by what authority
he had released the prisoner, procured the
following letter:
OFFICE OF UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WAsHINGTON,Aug. 20, 1915.
in he sum of $1,000 for L S, Schneider, CHARGED
with grand larceny. and now committed from the
police court to await further hearing.
Assistant United States Attorney.
A short time after the reception Of this
letter, man by the name of Geo. Edison,
of Georgetown, was accepted as bail in the
amount named. Schneider at once left
town, and has doubtless by this time es-
capped. The bail was declared forfeited
this morning, in order to allow the detec-
tive to again set out after Schneider, who
was allowed to get away through the aind
offices of young Fisher. The person who
gave bail Tor Schneider is also 4 wandercr,
as he has not yet been discovered.
The above is only one of the many inter-
esting little games Fisher, Jr., has dis
played for the benefit of criminals in dis
tress in this district.
