MANY ARRESTS MADE
COUNT POLITICIANS PREFER
CHARGES AGAINST EACH OTHER.
The Election Results in Much had
Feeling, and n Number of War
rants Are sworn Out-Constabie
snmueis I'm Trouble.

The election In Henrico THURSDAY was
productive OF much dlscord among the
county politicians. and as a result the
magistrates around the courthouse were
kept busy yesterday issuing warrants for
the arrest Of persons, charged one by the
other with infractions OF the election
laws
The initial incident Of this nature was
the arrest CT William Westlake on COM
plant Of Constable ssmuels, who charges
that the man interfcred with him while
he was making an arrest at Bakers Pre-
cinct Thursday. Shortly after this a war
rant YVES sworn ont and served on Spen-
Ger Gillian. the defeated candidate for
Commissioner OF the Revenue for the low
er district. charging him with trespassing
within the prescribed boundary lines OF
the polling place at Bakers. In addition
TO the warrant sworn on, for eE-Mail-
Carrier Donley at the polls Thursday, two
more were Issued against him yesterday
One. sworn out BY Mr.. George Mcsk,
clerk Of the election at Bakers. charges
him with crossing the prescribed bounda-
~ lines Of the polling place. and the other
gotten out by Constable Samuels, alleges
that Donley interfered with him while
dIscharging his duty in maintaining or
der.
PROGRESSIVE SWEARING.
Mr.. Donley. when the warrants were
served on him. retailated by swearing
out one against l.. H. Kemp whom he
charged with crossing the l0-foot line
ut Bakers Mr.. Kemp then applied for
a warrant against Mr. Samuel Naddll
for the same offence with which he was
charged, but was refused by Magistrate
Vincent The cases Of those who were
arrested will be examined Into to-day.
That OF Mr.. Myer Angle. the election
constable arrested Thursday at the in
stance Of Mr.. Donley. viii be first taken
up. 1t is more than probable that he
viii be promptly discharged. as the negro
whose vote II is alleged he endeavored
to change denies the truth OF the charge,
and thus exonerates him.
The arrest Of Mr. Angle Is the prime
cause OF all the other arrests. II appears
that when he was hauled up by SIR. Dom
ley general fight ensued and for a few
minutes blows were freely rained upon
various heads. Cyclone Samuels has a
bad cut under one Of his eyes, which he
says was given him by one John ODwyer.
whom he arrested. but who was taken
out for O'Dwyer's arrest. but he has not
been apprehended.

llshman who was arrested some weeks
ago by Constable Samucls charged with
