that Dawson should be held and prose
cuted for his action.
The matter began TO assume such
Importance that the magistrate sent .
policeman to the Brooklyn navy yard to
inquire into the truth of Dawson's
statement The case was postponed,
and, as Dawson had no money, he re-
manned in charge OF an officer and was
cared for as prisoner. Howard made
counter complaint and promised to
appear when called upon.
The policeman came back from the
navy yard with an unsatis factory re-
port The vessel named by Dawson
had returned during the previous week

been paid of, and there was Lieut..
Summers In the list Of officers, but he

print, and the public was becoming
more and more interested in the fate

charge against him, and, as Dawson
could not substantiate his story, final
hearing was decided upon and the day

and surveyed the swaying figure in the
doorway.

his respectful distance and laughed
loudly. rs i7 Is ~
