may follow. as the facts are developed.
such. i'm brief. is a most extraordinary
story: but extraordinary more because
10 has become public, than for the unu-
sual character of the facts in the case.
The REGISTER yesterday narrated
the arrest of Williams by Officer Shorts,
ON charge Of disorderly conduct. The
defendant was arraigned before Mayor
Seabright at nine o'clock, and being adj
Judged guilty. was fined - and costs.
This was paid, and he was released from
custody. he was not present AT the
City Hall having left ten dollars the
night before. Williams seemed 10 APP

the central figure in a very unSavory

which would set everybody 10 talking.
Little attention was paid to this remark
at the time it was made, but in the light
of subsequent events. il seems the fell

and sensational nature, aside from the
attempt upon his own life, which ne
could scarcely then have had in view.
IN is certain he intended to wreak his
vengeance upon Officer Shorts, and TINS
theory had many adherents at the City
Hall. last night. Chief Delbrugge Is
convinced that had Officer Shorts been
taking the prisoner to Jail, the officer
would have been the victim Of the knife
rather than Williams himself.

after his bones are crumbled to dust.
As a member Of the Great Order of Sons
of America, his record has been as
bright as the MONDAY sun; his heart
was i'm the cause. his purse was ever
ready at his country'S call. Memory
has woven bright garlandS over his bier
