AN INTERNATIONAL CASE.
False Arrest OF an Attachee OF the
Swiss Legation AT Bay Ridge
INVESTIGATING THE AFFAIR.

The arrest at Bay Ridge of a stranger
charged with stealing the pocket-book OF
a Baltimore excursionist. has involved
international interference. the accused
having turned out to be an attachee OF
the Swiss legation az Washington. Gov.
Brown was informed of the arrest OF the
foreign subject yesterday through tel
egram received from Hon. John w. Fos-
ter. Secretary of State.
The telegram stated that the Swiss
minister had complained TO the State De
partment that an attache of the legation.
Albert Georg had been falsely arrested at
Bay Ridge and that an indignity had bee n
imposed by an official OF Maryland by
searching the pockets of Mr.. Georg. The
Secretary of State concludes by request
ing the Governor Of Maryland 10 inquire
into the circumstances of the case and to
take such action as may be proper
When the Governor has received all
the information bearing on the case he
will submit statement TO the depart
ment, in accordance with instructions
received. He has not made up his mind.
however, just how he will proceed, but
will not act hastily in the matter.
Justice of the Peace John b. Flood,
who was recently appointed by Governor
Brown, tried the case at his office on
Main street. The accused and the prose-
ting witness, Mrs. w b. Brode, of Balti-
more, accompanied by a male friend,
came up in a carriage from Bay Ridge,
four miles from this city. Deputy Sher-
i'll James K. Lowman, who made the ar
rest, also came up in the vehicle
Justice Flood says: 81 dismis sed the
case for want of sufficient evidence to
convict" The only witness examined
al -hsAu afA hn had Vnn
to the saloon to purchase glass of lem
onake. She had laid her pocket book
and fan on the showcase while she drank
the lemonade and when she turned to
pick up her fan she found that her pock
ct book was missing. There were only
one person near her, she said, whom she
later pointed out to officer Lowman, who
arrested him Justice Flood said he had
no idea the accused was a member OF the
legation or he should not have given the
case hearing. The gentleman, who was
rather slender, wore light suit and neg
ligee shirt He appeared to be nervous
and said he had protested at Bay Ridge
at his arrest He also protested when
Deputy Sheriff Williams searched him.
The witness, Mrs. Brode, has testified
that her pocket-book contained three
two dollar bills, and one-dollar bill. a
gold dollar and some change, but this de
nomination was not found on the accused
who was promptly discharged.
The pocket-book was subsequently
found by Bay Ridge employe on a
bench on the gravity railway where Mrs.
Brode had been during the day. The
contents had not been touched The
pocket book was turned over to the own
err. This is said to have been the first
case in Maryland where the information
al law has been alleged to have been vic
lated under circumstances like this I'M
der this law a foreign official enjoys a
freedom which is not accorded highest
officials of our own country.
