OF HGnilet'r father. The ltig alton in
which usurious interest involved Mr.. Meyer
b. Newman apparently has no end. His
case against Martin V. Webb was disposed
OF by jury yesterday before Judge Cole.
This was one OF the cases that grew out OF
the exposure OF the Shylock business by
The Times.
Mr.. Newman, in this particular case sued
Mr.. Webb fordaniages, among his;til-,;l tons
being one that lie suffered great mental
trouble and anxiety while looking i9r car
riage which had been removed from Mr..
Webb's premises. This carriage was kept
for while in Z stable owned by Mr.. Webb
The floor above the stable was used by
Mr.. Newman as a storehuuse for goods held
for money loaned.
Newman was ordered several times to
remove the carriage, and finally Afr. Webb
removed it himself. Newman discovered
its hiding place, seized it ON a writ of
rePlevIR and brought suit for 500 damages.
The case came up for trial yesterday,

Mr.. Webb. The jury decided In few

DUDLEY's VICTIM DEAD.
Nellie Armstead, Wbsm He Struck,
Dies at the Hospital.

Nellie Armstead, colored, died at Freed
mems Hospital yesterday from a fracture
OF the skull, sustained on August 13, by
being struck with q brick thrown by Joe
Dudley, also colored. Dudley has not been
apprehended.
on the evening of the trouble Dudley,
Nellie Armstcad, and "Tootsy" West
were together. Tootsy was without a
hat and Dudley, who was her particular
friend requested Nellie to lend hers TO
Tootsy. Nellie declined. This started
the difficulty which ended In Dudley
striking Nellie with a brick. The West
girl refuses to talk, and she is probably
the only person who was witness to the
ira gedy.
From the moment of her injury to that
of her death Nellie 4 rmstead suffered in
tense pain. The news of her death caused
grief and Indignation in that part of the
city known as ''Howardtown," where the
trouble took place, and the friends of the
murdered woman have sworn vengeance.
The police OF the Eighth precinct have
warran for the arrest of Dudley and are
searching all his probable haunts, but up
to n late hour last night without avail.
The time for the inquest has not been
determined by Coroner Hammett. because
if possible he wishes to have Dudley pres
ent. 1t is probable that the fugitive viii be
captured during the day. The repeto tion
of the dead girl was above reproach, and
that of Dudley, is said by the police to
have been good.

follows of the United States minister to
Turkey.
Mr.. Terrell has been so bitterly attacked
that 1t seems to me that at this critical
moment in his mission the President ought
to know the facts about him-that he may
not unintentionally do him Injustice.
He is brave, honest man, with a warm
heart, and enthusiastically devoted to his
work of defending all American interests
in Turkey. No man ever tried harder 10 do
his whole duty, and the attacks upon him
have often been shamefully unjust, and
generally-when they have come from re-
sponsihie parties-they have been based
upon partial knowledge of the circum-
stances.
This is especially true of the last eight
or ten months. think many missionaries
in the interior owe their lives to his per-
sistent efforts with the Turkish Govern
ment.

HowGATE NOT AMONG THEM.
He Was Not With the Squad Sent to
Albany Last Night,

A squad Of prisoners left last night for
Albany penitentiary, under escort of a
body of guards from the District jail, but
Capt. Howgate was not among them.
The guards were reticeDt and did not
give any information as to why the con-
victed captain did not go, but as another
batch of convicts is to go North within
few days, 1t is thought that Capt. How.
gate will go then.
1t was a dejectedlooking set OF men
that left the Pennsylvania Railroad sta
ton at 11:40 last night. The guards were
sympathetic, in that they did not expose
their charges TO the public gaze more
than was necessary. The men came up in
the Jail van Just at train time, and went
directly ON board.
The prisoners were handcuffcd A

lookout for Howgate, but they failed 10

ASSAULTED PoLICEMAN GREER.
Battle and Clarence Vi inor on Trial
for the Offeusp


BATHS Minor and his son Clarence were
put upon trial yesterday before Justice
Cox upon the charge OF assault with intent
TO Kill, preferred by George W. Greer, OF
the Metropolitan police force.
The assault occurred on the evening of
the 25th of last June, near the corner
OF Eighteenth and 5 streets northwest.
The officer alleges that he discovered the
two Minors driving through the streets at
q speed that is forbidden by the regulations,
and that be stopped the horse, and at
tempted to arrest the elder OF the two.
Minor is said to have assaulted Greer with
his whip, and after he reached the ground
from his wagon he attempted to trip the
officer. \ great crowd began to gather,
while the two men We're scuffling, and
Greer struck Minor with his club.
Fearing violence from Minors friends
Greer took his prisoner into a nearby store
where the contest between the two con-
tinued. Clarence Minor, it is alleged. inter
ferred in aid of his father, and after stri5-
ing the officer with a brick, left
the scene and procured club
and returned to the assault, striking Greer
blow in the back that brought him to the
floor. Threats were made to Kill Greer, and
blows We're freely exchanged Clarence
Minor striving to obtain the officers
revolver, with threat to shoot him.
Greer and the elder Minor were both in
jured, both were covered with blood when
the patrol wagon arrived, and both re-
quired medical attention. Greer was sent
TO Freedman's Hospital.
Besides Greer number of witnesses for
the prosecution were examined yesterday,
all the testimony tending TO show the state
of facts above outlined.
Counsel for defense asserted at the out
set that they would be able to prove Greer
the aggressor, and that his assault upon
Minor was cowardly brutal anduncalIed for.
The history of the affair was pretty well
exhausted, although court adjourned with
some of the prosecuting witnesses and the
evidence for the defense still unheard.

Famous Des MOines Land Grants Have
Been For rfeited

Under decision of the United States
Supreme Court of October 81 last, about
II 900 acres of land in the Des Moines,

mitted to the commissioner of the General
