Albert SnOwden, also colOred, both living in

tempt by Collins to intimidate SnOwden from
appearing as witness In murder case before
our courts, and threats to Snowden if he did ap-
pear to testify against one Pope; $500 bonds to
keep the peace. Frank kinsey, young man,
charged with assault and battery on William
Williams, and elderly blind and lame man, who
lives on L street. Mr.. Williams told his story to
the judge from which it appears that Kinsey,
who is step-sOn, tries to rule the house, and is
in the habit of chastising his younger brothers.
On this occasion he was fiogging two younger
brothers, when the old gentleman hobb1ed
down stairs to put stop to it and young Kinsey
assaulted him, striking him with the from fire
poker. Several witnesses corroborated the old
mans testimony. Kinsey then told the story,
giving somewhat different coloring to the
case, and the court dismissed the young man.
George Anderson, charged with larceny OF !,
large picture OF Gen. Grant from John Hailoran:
dismissed.
