HE TOLD THE TRUTH,
Edward Morgan Did Escape From an
Insane ASYLUM.


Edward Morgan, alias Myer, the man who
called at the White House last week and as
saulted Sergt. Myers when the latter arrest
cd him. told the truth when he said he had
escaped from the Norristown, Pa insane
asylum Judge Miller directed to DR.. Rich
ardson, intendant of the asylum, n letter
giving information concerning the mans
arrest and yesterday morning Supervisor
Thomas l.. Wilson of the asylum called at
the Police Court to make further inquiries
about the insane fugitive.
He corroborated every word the insane
man had said and gave additional details.
Morgan, he says, belongs in Indiana and
was sent to the sylum convict patient
from the Philadelphia penitentiary, where
he was under sentence for housebreaking.
Since the day of his arrival at the hospital
his entire time has been devoted TO an effort
to gain his liberty. Several months ago he
escaped from the asylum and surrendered
to Detective Miller in Philadelphia whom
he wanted to get for him a writ of habcas
corpus. He was returned and a week ago he
escaped a second time. This was accom-
plished by breaking an iron bar with piece
of the broken bedstead, and another man
escaped with Morgan.
Supervisor Wilson told Judge Miller that
Morgan IS a dangerous man. and he wanted
to take him back to Norrtstown. He sail!
that Morgan would he detained at the asy-
lum until cured, and then ne will be return
ed to the penitentiary.
Judge Miller inquired INTO the law and
found that he could not turn over the pris-
oner without the foInality of papers from
the state of Pennsylvania, and the prisoner
was committed until the necessary papers
can be obtained.

CANDIDATES PRAISE THEMSELVES.
Lively Republican Meeting Address,
ed by Holland md Bailey.

There was lively republican meeting at
Abraham's Hall on L street southwest last
| night that promised at one time to be
| strikingly reminiscent of the knock-down-
and-drag-out political gatherings that were
| SO familiar in the days of local suffrage.
| The meeting was organized with President
| G. A. Wills of the Eighteenth District Club
| In the chair, and A. F. Redmond. secretary
]. 7. Edmondson started the speeches with
description of the superior qualifications
possessed by Milton NJ. Holland for repre-
| senting District colored republicans at the
st. Louis convention. and then Fred Dy-
son came to the center and eloquently por-
trayed the attributes of Mr.. L. C. Bailey
for the same position. Other persons spoke
| in behalf of other candidates, and then Mr.
Holland himself came forward. A row
seemed imminent at this juncture and
there were several attempts to start it GO
ing in real earnest, but the officers of the
meeting managed to restore order.
MI. Holland proceeded to state his rea-
sons Tor asking support of his candidacy,
siVlng as principal one his belief that he
could secure the restoration of suffrage to
the District. Mr.. Hollands remarks were
greeted with considerable applause, and
Ihere was another outburst when l.. C.
Bailey took the platform and proceeded to
enumerate his transcendent qualifications
Tor the position of delegate. He made many
work he had done among the colored peo-
pie here, and expressed absolute confidence
IN his being chosen as a delegate to St
Louis when the time arrived. At the con-
clusion of his speech a resolution was
adopted, declaring that the sense of the
meeting was that Mr.. Bailey should go to
the convention.
The Robert H. Key Club and the Work
lngman's Association met Jointly at AL
Delaware avenue southwest last night and
were presided over by James W. Poe who
strongly criticised the action of Chairman
carter OF the national committee in ap-
pointing as supervisors of the primary cleo
tlons in the choosing of delegates to the St
LOUIS convention three candidates for the
Office. Others spoke in a similar strain
and the candidacy of Mr.. Key was indorsed
in a series of resolutions.
Some of the first district republicans or
gained an l.. c. Bailey club last night
