hada descent Of abouttwenty degrees

suspicious character was the charge on
the sixth police station blotter this morning
opposite the entry, Charles Brooks, colored
seventeen years." There, was no explanation
on the blotter, but although only seventeen
years old Brooks has made an unenviable record
He started his criminal life by being arrested
on trifiing charge, for which he was sent to
tie work house. There he met older and hard
ened criminals. He learned something from
them that prepared him to enter the PRO
fession." He served his time there and when
released he managed to remain outside pris on
walls for some months, but finally he was
CAUGHT AGAIN.
1t was apparent to the court that Brooks in
tended to live the life of a criminal. and the
judge attempted to change the course Of the
lads life and sent him to the reform school.
he was then under fourteen years old.
He behaved himself well. and after remaining
there eighteen months he discharged ION
his honor" This training did not have the
desired effect, and when he got ont he fell IN
with his old companions and became worse
than ever.
STARTING OUT TO SEE THE COUNTRY.
With six companions he started out to see
the country. They called themselves the
Seven travellers" They we're not fond Of
walking and so they usually stole rides on
''freights." According to Brooks statement
they were sworn to secrecy and carried pistols
to Kill any one who attempted to arrest them:
They went as far as Martinsburg, VIVA, and
spent several days in that vicinity, sleeping in
barn. The people in that section would not
tolerate them and being unable to obtain food
they planned
TRAIN ROBBERY,
One afternoon in the broad daylight the
members of the gang went to the woods some
distance from Martinsburg Six of them Sc
GREETED themselves In the woods, while the
seventh member of the gang went out on the
track with red flag. He waved the danger
signal before an approaching freight train.
The engineer obeyed the signal and stopped
the train. Sure enough there was danger, but
not the kind that the train men had antici-
pated. The seven negroes appeared and each
was armed with pistol. and held up the train.
They succeeded in breaking the seal of the car,
but did not get anything except some candy.
SIX OF THE GANG SENT TO THE PENITENTIARY.
Detective Mike Reardon of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad made complete investigation of
the case and arrested six of the robbers. They
were tried and sentenced to two years each in
the MOundsville penitcntiary. Brooks was re-
leased from that prison shortly after last Christ
mas and he returned to this city. Two of his
companions were recently sent to Jail for steal
ing, and Brooks expresses surprise that one Of
them did not kill the police officer who arrested
them.
SENT TO THE FARM.
Brooks has not done much better since he
returned. and this morning Policemen Sullivan
and kimmen found him sleeping in q wagon
not far from the police station on New Jersey
avenue.
He was taken to the Police Court and Judge
Miller gave him the extent of the law-ninety
days on the farm.

The first witness for the defense was Frederick

certain differences between the testimony as
given before the coroners jury by old man

serious accident took place at Downey's
livery stable, on L street between 10th and 18th
streets, saturday night Mr.. B. ]. Downey, a
brother of the proprietor, was in the stable
when lady and gentleman called to look at
carriage on the fourth floor and went up on
the elevator. The machinery took them slowly
up and the visitors got off, but Mr.. Downey
who accompanied them, failed to stop the
ascent of the elevator. When the fifth floor
Was reached the machinery continued in mo-
ton and severed the rope and the elevator fell.
Mr.. Downey attempted to jump of at the fourth
floor, but struck the elevator, which was over
turned, and went down with it. Mr.. Downey
was removed to a room on the second floor and
Drs. W. W. Johnston. Manson and J. Taber
johnson were called and found that no bones
were broken, but MIR. Downey was internally
injured. IL was at first supposed that the in
juries would prove fatal, and Father Kervick
Of ST Matthews church administered the sacra-

man. Mr.. Downey was somewhat easier this
