Reminder of the Suicide of n Police



The circumstances attending the suicide
of Policeman Charles II. King of the third
precinct some days ago, as published in
The Star at the time were recalled when
case concerning his seven-year-old son was

case got into court on a petition of John 1.
King, the boys grandfather, who wanted
the boy turned over to the board of chill
dren's guardians, in order that he Qhe
grandfather might get legal custody of
him.
The contention was that the boys
mother, the policemans widow, Is not fit
person to care for the boy. She admitted
that at present she is unable to care for
the boy. But she said she expects to go to
work soon, and when she gets able she
wants him. She had no objection to the
grandfather having him. but, she says, she
wants him brought up In the Catholic
Church.
1t was stated by the brother of the dead
officer that the latters wife was under the
influence Of liquor the day he ended his
life, and other persons were present to tell
of her Incorporate habit.
Mr. Mullowny, 1&ho represented the gov
eminent. had the letter written by the
suicide. 10 ~
In this letter the suicide said goodbye to
his father; that she was tired of life, and
intended to kill his wife that evening of
the day he wrote the letter. He also said
that the next TIME his father saw him he
would be in the morgue, and closed by
asking him to take care of the boy.
Mrs King fnaYly consented that the boy
should be cared'fof' by the grandfather,
and the latter toek htfn.

leased on writ Of haDeas corpus by Judge

In Jail in the Police Court.
MIR. Calderon Carlisle, Rodda's counsel,
called the attention of the Court of APP
peals to the fact that Warden Leonard
and not the United States was the party to
which the writ of habeas corpus was d.
rected, and doubted whether the appeal
had been perfected. The court, however,
decided to advance the case, and set 1t
down for hearing early next month.

time ago Col. H. c. Jones, commandant of
the first Virginia regiment of infantry
acting upon the order from Col. Nalle
commandant of the first Virginia brigade,
ordered a general court-martial to an en-
listed man. When the court met the judge
advocate raised the opinion that it was
illegally constituted He claimed that even
waving the right of the brigader general
TO order a general coIlrt-martial himself,
certainly that officer had no authority to
delegate the power to a colonel of a regi-
ment. The point was sustained by the
court-martial and it adjourned, informing
Col. Jones of it's action.
Last night Col. Jones summoned all the
members of this court-martial to the arm

to carry out his orders. He threatened to
have the court-martiaI concentrated.

THE CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL.
A Hearing on the Site Question Be-
fore the House Committee.

fore the House Committee.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Parker. Mr.. B. II. Warner.
Mr. j. r. Somerville and Mr.. Ballinger ap-
peared before the House committee on up
propriations to ask the committee to in
terfere in their behalf against the pro-
posed establishment of the contagious hos
pital on the Mt. Pleasant site. They claim
that 1t was a great injustice to that sec
ton of the city to establish a hospital
there and moreover that it should be To-
rated upon some site already owned by the
District or the government. They sug-
gested the neighborhood of the insane
asylum in Anacostfa as a good place or
near the Jail.
Commissioner Ross told the committee
that there would be no danger whatever in
locating the hospital at the place pro-
posed at Mt. Pleasant, and that they rad
eminent medical testimony to that fleet.
All of this, he said, had been considered he
fore the action was taken. He said the
Commissioners are willing, however, to
defer to the judgment of the committee In
this matter, and that action will be sus-
pended until the committee chooses to
signify its wishes in the matter.
A Proposition Made.
While the Commissioners will not say
what action they propose to take in the
matter. it was definitely learned late this
afternoon at the District buildings that
proposition was made to the president of
for the purpose of having it select a suit
able Site for the hospital and submit 1t to
the District Commissioners.
There is little doubt that IL such site
can be procured the Commissioners will
ask Congress for an appropriation to pur-
phase it and utilize the site already OBJ
tanned for the erection of an engine house
or school building.
