A Deaf and Dumb VaG.

In the line of prisoners in the dock at the
Police Court this morning there was one
who failed to respond in any way when the
information was read by Clerk Harper,
charging him with being a vagrant. 1t
was rather a nice-looking and intelligent
young white man, by the name Of Charles
Steele. The officer who arrested him ex-
planned his ieticence by telling Judge Kim
bali that he was deaf and dumb
At the station house last night Steele
said, through the medium of pencil and
paper, that he was from Maryland, and
came here last Monday, having left his
home on account of the harsh treatment of
his parents. who had little sympathy with
him for his affliction. He said that he had
no friends in this city, and was unable TO
get work.
His case occupied more time this morning
than Is usually allotted to "vag" cases, for
the judge wanted to hear his whole story,
and both had to write what they wanted to
say. Judge Kmbalrs disposition of the
case was probably the best possible He
ordered that the young man be held until
his parents could be communicated with
and he asked Mr.. Harper to write a letter
to the father Charles H. Steele Silver
Hill p. o., Prince Georges county, telling
him that his boy was in trouble here.
