rngeOus Proceedings.
After o'clock at night the Capitol parks
are entirely without police protection, con-
sequently two-leggod brutes, sand-baggers
and sluggers have full sway there from the
above hour until morning. II is no wonder,
therefore, that nearly every night excessos
are committed under tho very shadow Of
the Capitol DOME THE CRITIC has from
time to time shown up highway robberies,
attempts at robbery, attempts at
rape, knock downs fights, &c.
which have disgracod the beautiful
parks, but still no action has been taken by
the authorities to guard them. Resi-
dents of East Washington who are
detained down town by business, are COM
PEELED to pass through the Capitol reserva-
tions in going home, and If they are un-
armed their chances for run or knock
down and garrote are very much enhanced.
Last night, during the rain, n gentleman
named Robinson was stopped by two men
near the grotto. Luckily he was armed,
and, drawing his revolver, made the high
waymen trot. He afterward remarked
that he wanted to fire at the villains, but
was afraid he might be arrested for carry
ing concealed weapons.

HAMlLToN,s TRIAL.
The Evidence All In aud Now Come
the Arguments.


In Judge Hagner's Court this morning
the trial Of Hamilton for the killing of
Hill was resumed.
Mrs. Hamilton was called to prove the
distance from her house to the corner where
the shooting took place. She knew the
number of her house, but did not know the
number Of feet or yards to the place.
JEFF Mackey was called by the Govern
ment and asked two or three unimpor.
tant questions, which were satisfactorily
answered.
Frank Lordson was called in rebuttal
He testified that he met Mackev after the
shooting, and that Mackey told him it was
shame for Hamilton to shoot Hill it was
all done for nothing. He had examined
the pavement the next morning and found
blood on the pavement.
Cross-examined by Mr. MIiller-He did
not know what day of the week or month
it was that he went around to examine
the pavement. He did not know what
time of night it was he met Mackey. He
belonged to the Washington Cadet Corps
Hamilton belonged to the drum corps. The
witness did not seem to know anything
very definitely.
d. II. Teeple was put on the stand to
prove the distance from the corner oi
Fourth and n streets, where the killing
took place, to Mrs. Hamiltons house. He
said lie bad measured the distance, and il
was 131 feet.
Eliza Adams was called by the Govern.
ment IN rebuttal. All she knew was that
she saw Hill between 12 and o'clock on
the night of the killing in front of her
house, and that Hill had cane in his hand
On cross.examination by Mr.. Miller she
succeeded in getting herself most beauti
fully tangled up.
This closed the evidence ON both sides.

The Evening critic., 1883-04-17

The rumors and reports which have been
circulated recently to the effect that certain
inmates of the Insane Asylum have been
treated in brutal manner are without
foundation. A case in rebuttal to such re-
ports happened few days ago. One of the
inmates, named Samuel Gordon, whose
family reside at 1910 Eleventh street south
east, was taken suddenly and seriously ill,
and when DIR. Godding found that Gordon
could only last few hours longer, he Or
dered one of the asylum carriages and sent
for the dying mans wife and family, so
they might be present at the death bed.
Upon his death, which occurred a few hours
later, the kind hearted doctor had the body
placed in new suit of black clothing and
sent home to his family in an appropriate
coffin. This is but one of many instances
of Dr. Godding's liberal philanthropy.

Manufacturing History.

A fine illustration of the way the Froudes
and Macauays Of the press make history is
seen in two dispatches given below. Both
are dated at Washington, April 16, and
published in Metropolitan journals. The
first is from the New York Sun, and reads :
Judge Gresham's first act OF importance was
the denial TO Fort Pillow Chalmers of the con-
troll OF Federal appointments In Mississippi.
The case of the Postmaster at Columbus was
pending when Mr.. Howe died. 1t came before
the new Postmaster General, who was not
long in deciding II. Chalmers asked for the
head of Postmaster Kennon, to show his power
10 his followers. He failed to get 1t.
The second is from the Herald, and says I:
Postmaster General Gresham says that II he
has refused TO remove Postmaster Kennon Mt
Columbus, MISS, as has been reported, he
does not know 1t. He has declined TO make re-.
moyals, but not because Mr.. Chalmers asked
that changes should be made. First Assistant
Postmaster-G uatton says that the case
of the Columbus postmaster, whose removal
Mr.. Chalmers Is said to have demanded, has
not been presented to the Postmaster-General.
Tie latter dispatch has been pronounced
correct at the Postoillce Department.
