AN uNPRovoxKD ATTACK.
About midnight last night q policeman in
| Lieut. Kellys precinct named Mcintosh, who,
| 1t Is charged, was intoxicated at the tim Q,
| created considerable excitement by a course of
| conduct not required by tho police manual.
According to the statements made at police
headquarters today Mcintosh attempted to rid
the streets Of coiorod persons whom he thought
were out too late. The special sufferer was
colorod man named Walter Carter. Carter
is secretary Of Christian Union Lodge, No. 49,
and last night he attended the lodge meeting.
1t was long after II o'clock when the members
Of the lodge adjourned the meeting and
started for their homes. Carter, who lives in
the rear of No. 511 New Jersey avenue, walked
with friend named Thomas Drayer, who re-
sides on street northwest between LIST and
I'd streets. Carriers wife was also along.
They passed through tho streets together UNI
molested until they reached Drayer's house
and they stopped there at the front gate.
Drayer went in the house to get some money
to pay Carter and returned as far as the fropt
gate.
THE POLICEMEN APPEAR.
While they were engaged talking there, Car
ter says. two policemen appeared, but he did
not know them.
Mcintosh, it is said. was one Of them. Just
what part the second policeman took in the at
fair, if any. will only be learned when the mat
ter il investigated.
Carter, whose head was bandaged and showed
evidences OF having been brutally assaulted was
at police headquarters early this morning to
make complaint against his alleged assailant
According to his story one of the two police
men was intoxicated. Tho intoxicated one
asked What are You doing here?" Carter
replied, Nothing, except Mr.. Drayer is paying
Where do you live?" the policeman next in
quired.
Carter answered that question also. and. then
the policeman wanted to know where Draycr
lived.
..in here" was the answer to that question.
"Ihen get in, was the polceman's order.
BEArES DIX THE POLICEMAN.
Then, without any provocation Carter stated,
the intoxicated officer beat him over the head
and ran him across the street There, he says,
the other officer held him across the fence
while the intoxicated one again beat him.
Il then started toward the station" con-
tlnued Carter, land the drunken officer said.
If you cross tho south side Of that street (New
Jersey avenue). you -. I'll kill YOU"
Carter replied that the policeman would have
to kill him then, for he had to cross that street
to get 20 his home.
For Gods sake. don't kill me-" cried Carter,
as the Ifii1er renewed the assault
Carter then continued On his way to the po-
lice station, but was met there by the officer
who had beat him.
The latter said to him: If you 60 in that
station I'll kill you"
You will have to kill mo, then" responded
Carter, tor am going in" but he didn't just
then, for he says that the officer knocked him
down IN front Of the station.
This time, Carter SAYS, the blows mado' him
unconscious. Later he entered the station and
the officer was then in citizens clothes, having
taken off his uniform.
RENEWED IN THE POLICE STATION.
The officer, Carter says, renewed his threat
ening language. applying an opprobrous cpl
tibet to him at the same time. Then he re-
newed the assault in the station and another
officer interferred.
1t was nearly 2 am. Carter saws. when a
was called and his head was dressed.
Sergt Falvey reported Mcintosh this morn
ing for intoxicatiOn and conduct unbecoming
an officer
warrant will be sworn out for the officer
in addition to the charges made against him, at
police headquarters and the case promises to
be an interesting one.
CARTER GETS WARRANT
Carter appeared before the clerk of the
Police Court later in the day and swore out
warrant charging the officer with assault and
battery and Judge Miller will probably inquire
into the case next week.
