A FORGOTTEN TRAGEDY.
The Foreman Murder Case Revived by the
Arrest of Greenbury #. Williams
Charge of Murder.

Another man has been arrested for the muir
der of the Foreman women, but the evidence
against the prisoner so far can be learned is
about as vague as that in the cases against the
several others who have been under arrest for
committing the crime. Since the discharge of
Hough, Cassiday and Foreman, the last three
under arrest, the tragedy has ceased to be
a matter of much public attention, and
most of the officers had given up in
despair all hope of ever finding the murderer;
but two of the detectives-Bretagny and Ste
phens, who have been indefatIgable in their
work upon the oase-have manifested a deter
mination not to rest until they have discovered
the persons who committed the crime. Their
latest arrest is Greenbury F. Williams, who has
lately been living with son-in-law near Mount
Meridian, in Putnam county. TIE arrest was
made last Saturday, with the assist
ance of Sheriff Hess and Superiu tendent
Robbins, but from some cause. not altogether
clear, the matter has been kept a secret, and
did not become known until yesterday. The
prisoner declares that he ia innocent, and upon
what evidence he was arrested is not known.
He is sixty years old, and his attorney, Samuel
G. Wessner, of Lebanon. last night stated TO a
Journal reporter that Williams had for two
years kept saloon at Whitestown. His repu.
tation has been that of dissipated
man, but he has not been re-
garded as criminal He at one
time lived Traders Point,
and was neishbor TO the
FOremans, but at the time murder was
committed he was not living in that vicinity.
Mr.. Wessner is confident that he will he able to
prove alibi at the preliminary examination,
morning, and the prisoner himself seems to have
no fears about the result of the trial. n

that Assistant Secretary French will continue

When the Potomac Manufacturing COM

the council was induced to exempt the COM

under promises from the company that they

Because the works have not been in opera

tion of inquiry arose in the city council two
weeks ago and resolution was then adopted
to require a statement Of condition, &C., from
the directors. The resolution was referred to
the finance committee, who reported to the
board of aldermen last night, recommending
that the company be granted longer time.
Their report was concurred in by the board of

SAMUEL DoNAIDsoN,s SUICIDE.
The Coroner's Inquest-An Investigatio,
Probably 10 be Made.


The body of Samuel Donaldson, white boy,
aged eighteen, was taken to Georgetown police
station early yesterday morning by Capt. A.
l.. Moss, Charles O'Brien, and James Perkins.
Donaldson cut his throat with razor aboard
the sloop Lottie, at Rozier's creek, Virginia,
last Saturday. A coroner's inquest was held
in King George County, Va, over theremans,
and the verdict was "suicide, to which he
was induced by fear" 1t appeared that u
letter containing Sl4.O2, sent from the post
Office to Capt. Simmons, of the sloop Lottie,
while the esloop was lying at anchor off Rozier's
creek, was missed. Donaldson was suspected
of having stolen it. He denied the theft, but
Capt Simmons ordered him to be taken
ashore, telling the boy he would send him to
the penitentiary. In an agony of fear the
boy begged to be taken back to the sloop,
saying he would find the money. He was
taken back, and while protesting to be search
ing for the money he seized razor and cut
his throat, dying almost Immediately. The
boys parents, who live in Roslyn, were noti-
fed and the body was removed to their house,
where the funeral will take place to-day. 1t
would seem to be in order to investigate the
matter and SEQ if the boy did steal the money
and how the threat of Imprisonment operated
SO strongly upon him.
