Another Lineman Brought Into Cour

Another Lineman Brought Into Court
Today.
Edwin Aldrich, lineman In the employ
Of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, was in Judge Kimbalps court
today. charged with stringing overhead
wires on Massachusetts avenue northeast
in violation of law. Policemen Lynch and
Creagh, who witnessed the alleged violation
of law. did not make the arerst at that
time, but got out a warrant and then noti-
fed the lineman to appear.
He failed to appear, and last night he
was arrested.
Lawyer Jere Wilson. who was in court "a
the company's counsel, said he hoped no.
licemen would be more careful in the fl-
ture in making arrests. Aldrich, he COM
planned, was taken from his home last
night.
Policeman Lynch explained that the ar
lest was rendered necessary because Of the
mans failure to respond to a request to
appear in court for trial.
The charge was that the stringinp of the
wires amounted to an occupation of the
public streets for private purposes
Counsel explained that no additional
wires were put up. New wires, he said,
were strung to take the place of old ones
This work. he claimed, was provided for in
a permit issued some time since by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh examined the
permit, and said he was satisfied that the
law had not been Violated.
Judge Kimball was of the same opinion.
and Mr.. Pngh nolle pressed the charge.

Hall.


UP to a late hour this afternoon there
mad been no new developments in the Hall
murder, nor have any tangible clues been
found 1t begins to LOOK as though the
case would remain a mystery, for the more
the police investigate 1t The less there
seems to go upon. The two men who were
locked up yesterday on suspicion have been
released. as it was evident they had moth
ing to do with the killing of the old hunch-
back and knew nothing bout 1t. Last
evening the police of the eighth precinct
brought in several men against whom
there was some suspicion, but they were
not held. Detective Lacey and Policemen
Barrett and Owens are following up every
suggestion or rumor in thorough and
painstakng manner but SO far each threaJ
mas led to absolutely nothing. They have
no one under arrest this afternoon, and
confess that they are as far from the So
luton OF the mystery as they were in the
