Local News of Twelve Hours Briefly
Told for Busy Readers.
MISS BOND USED A WHIP.
Mr.. Durant Saackleford Says 1t Was
on Him


on Him.
Mr.. Durant shackleford, who comes
from the famous virginian family. spoken
of by Thackeray in Henry Esnond, was
placeS1n a very unenviable position in the
police court yesterday. Mr.. Shackleford
was prominent in three different cases
that have never yet been heard. owing to
the foresight of Mr.. Jeffords. the prosecu-
ting attorney. One is of assault. the other
two of disorderly conduct.
Mr.. Shackleford was the complainant in
the assault ease. claiming that Grace
Bond, "a young woman of twenty-five, horse
whipped him in his office. 42T Eleventh
street. a few weeks ago.
Five years ago Miss Grace Bond was a
country girl living near Catletts, Va. She
was the daughter of a shoemaker and came
to Washington seeking employment she
found it through Mr.. shackleford.
She told Mr.. Jeffords yesterday that
Shacklcford was the father Of her baby
| and that up to three months ago he pro-
yided for her. Then his manner changed
| and he cast her out. She found employ
| ment at a lunch room, where she Vas
worked ever since.
On several occasions, according 20 tile
| girl, Shacklcford went to that place and
| annoyed her. The last time Mr.. Hale. the
proprietor, put him out OF the place. That
| is one case he was interested in.
Subsequently Mss Bond went To Shackle-
| fords office and a stormy interview re-
suited. She promised him that the next
| time she came there he would feel different
lash from the whip OF her tongue. She kept
her word. She went there armed, not 30
many days ago with a cowhide.
When the matter was brought to Mr..
Jefford's attention he had Il talk with
Miss Bond.
She made no attempt to deny the as
sault as affirmed in the warrant sworn
out by Mr.. Shackelford.
If should ventilate this affair to his
HONOR said Mr.. Jerfords, l would suggest
that you be fined
LAS you please, SIR and the bright
eyes darkened. II will pay it gladly
Mr.. Jeffords laughed. But it would
be only one penny, merely nominal he
said, for l think you were justified in
what you did"
After Mr.. Jeffords' interview with Miss
Bond he saw Shackelford and listened
to his complaint about Hale, who only pro
tected his waitress, Miss Bond.

who know Miss Bond said a good word for
her and Mr.. Jeffords nolle prosecuted all
