Attempted Murder.


Special Policeman Givens Held for
Attempted Murder.
Saturday night between II and II o'clock
Special Officer Jesse Givens. colored, was
arrested at his home on Meridian Hill and
taken to the eighth police station to answer
charge of attempted murder. 1t was
charged that he shot Mrs. johnson, colored,
who lives with her husband in Givens'
house. When Givens' wife died he made an
arrangement with the Johnsons whereby
they were to board him for the rent of his
house and .he use of his furniture. Things
went along without any trouble until the
colored special concluded that he would sell
out and find himself boarding house, and
since then he says the Johnsons had
troubled him.
Saturday night the men engaged in a war
of words, which was followed by personal
encounter, and soon after Mrs. johnson
went to her husbands rescue the special
officers pistol was discharged, the bullet
entering the woman's leg, inf1icting flesh
wound.
On the side of the Johnsons it is claimed
that Givens drew his pistol and took de-
liberate aim at the woman, but this Givens
denies. He says that the woman took the
pistol from his pocket and it was acci-
dentally discharged
The case was called in the Police Court
today, but was not tried, for the reason
that the woman was not able to appear,

MANY. ARE STRANDED
Closing Of the Tracks Has One. Re-
suit
Gathering of UnfOrtunates mt the
DepOt-One of Them Gets Into
TrOuble-Leaving Town.

The sudden and unexpected closing of the
race tracks, as published in Saturdays
Star. has left stranded in this city a num-
Der of race track followers, ''touts' and
other hangers-On about the race track,
some of whom. the police fear will prove
troublesome later on. 1t is stated in police
circles that there are between 150 and 300
of these men and boys here. and last night
about forty of them gathered in the Balti-
more and Potomac depot presenting q sad
spectacle. They were without funds, and
had no place to go where they would be
protected from the cold, and so they had
gone in the depot to keep warm and be on
the alert for some of the moneyed follow
ers Of the races. in order to effect a loan
II possible. Several of them succeeded, so
1t is said. and seven of those who were not
SO fortunate left on freight trains, SO the
police say. Many of them have written to
tneir MONIES for money, and last night
When detective addressed the assemblage
in the depot and warned them that they
had better leave without stealing, one Of
them was frank enough to say he wished
ne knew some other way to get out.
While the closing Of the race tracks rids
that section Of the Old Dominion Of two
evils there are still other places left where
tne gamblers may go and spend their
money In games of chance, as well as for
rum. 1t is thought that the closing of the
races will make business in the policy

have the same opportunity to throw away
the proceeds of their hard work or stealing
Just as they did when the tracks were in
full blast.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
On Thursday afternoon about o'clock a
jar or similar vessel fell from one of the
upper windows (on the 9th street side) of

nearly striking lady before being broken
into fragments. A bystander remarked
that "about half-dozen things had already
fallen from the same window" Cannot the
proper authorities prohibit people living in
houses which abut on the street from using
their upper front windows as refrigerators
1t is needless to add that had the Jar of
which I speak struck passerby on the head
