Grand Jury Failed to Indict Lewis
Berry for the Newsome Killing.
His Story of the Affair Was Corrobo-

Lewis Berry Is a freeman. Thegrandjury
Of Alexandria county refused to find n true
bill against him for the killing OF James
Newsome, of Washington, with baseball
bat on the night OF June 27 at Carlm's
Springs.
The killing of Newsome and the circum-

Newsome belongedin this city and withhis
wife had been stopping at the home of Mrs.
Margaret Carter, near Falls Church. He
had been drinking heavily and on the night

delerium tremens. Young Berry and Miss
Emma Carter were sitting together in the
parior Of Miss Carter's home when Newsome
Ilshed into the room in a half nude condition
and started towards them.
Berry succeeded in quieting him and
getting him to bed and had returned to the
parlor when Newsome again came into the
room and with an oath advanced OH Berry
and his companion. The young man again
got him to his room but Newsome was In an
ugly temper and made movement which
Berry thought was an attempt to take his
life. He picked up baseball bat belonging
to young brother OF Miss Carter and
rs Newsome, despite warnings, continued to
advance he struck him in the head and
killed him.
Berry, who is tall, handsome young
fellow, with black hair and lback eyes, was
early in attendance on the court yesterday

OF persons from all sections OF the county
and the court room was wellcrowded.

in whose house the killing occurred, Miss
Emma Carter, Edward and Winfield Carter,
the sons OF Mrs. Carter. and Mr.. c. F.

story very much as given above and shortly
before 1 O'Clock the jury were ready to

A letter was read from a gentleman suggest
ing that the Commissioners be requested to
place the crematory near some of their own
property. .ll....,-.4.5. 3.

DID NOT SHOOT TO KILL
Ooroner's Jury E1onerates Police
man VermiIlion.
Concluded 1t Was an Accidental Shot
and That No Blame Could Be
Attached to Him.

Coroner Hammett and. q jury of six men,
composed of Messrs. Mark Joseph, Burnet
L. Nevins, John s. schIeider. Andrew W.
He'll, l. d. Walton, and John G. Yost, held
an inquest yesterday afternoon at Lees
undertaking establishment over the body
of TimOthy Dempsey, the young man who
was shot by Policeman yermillion Sunday
morning and died from hi, wound that day.
The inquest was held in the workroom Of
the establishment and began at O'Clock.
Lawyer Campbell Darlington represented
thedefendant, and alarge humber offriends
OF both sides were present. After taking a
great deal of Testimony and going into the
details of the affair very minutely, the
jury rendered a verdict exOnerating the
officer from blame. ma
Charles Fischer, a bartender. and Thomas
Brown, cOlored, were the first witnesses.
They testified to hearing the distress calls
and pistol shots and to the appearance of
the men when they arrived on the scene Of
the struggle.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook, who per-
formed the autopsy, gave testimony as to
the nature OF the wound, and said that it
could not have been inflicted IL either OF
the men had been standing.
Policemen Gordon, Dalrymple and Riley
testified to responding to the distress calls
and placing Hurley and Davis under arrest,
and later arresting Farley at the station
house.
vermillion told substantially the same
story of the accident as has been published,
and the three prisoners, Hurley, Farley and
Davis, all testified that Dempsey was shot
while he was walking away from the police
man. This was the only point, however.
on which the three agreed.
The jury took a secret ballot and 1t was
found that all voted to exonerate the police
man. The verdict was that the deceased
came to his death by an accidental shot
from pistol held in the hands OF Policeman
VermilliOn; that they didn't believe that the
policeman intended to shoot his assailanu,
and that the shot was fired while the officer
was in the discharge of his duty. The YER
dict completely exonerated him.

at all of them they have been given to
understand that the laundries that put

Chinese labor.
They discovered also that a large per-
