SPENT MS LIFE IN 1 CELL
GeOrgeMccaWley's Criminal Rec
ord Is Long and Dark.
AN ALL-AROUND BAD MAN
Police Recall Many Incidents in the
Career of the Man Who Tried TO
XIII Detective Suttun-Given Nor
phine Last Night to Quiet Him
Down.

George McCawIey, who attempted to kill
detective Sutton yesterday morning while
that officer was trying to place him under
arrest, is one of the worst and most
hardened criminals who has ever made
the city of Washington his headquarters.
The mans criminal history is remark
able and for vcouSnesS and brutality is
probably unequaIed east of the Missis-
sppi river. He has served twenty-eight
years in the penitentiary for crimes com
mitted i'll this city amt Baltimore alone,
ana This record does not incldde the uuuIer
Gus short terms he has spent i'll the city
jailS for small OffenSes.
He is fifty-four years Old and bent with
age and life of hardship and crime. In
his later years lie has become addicted
TO the opium habit and the effects of the
constant use OF the drug are plainly visible
in his face. Last night at the First pre-
cinct station he stood i'll his cell, his
! trembling hands clutching the bars OF the
door, and begged pitifully for a drink of
whisky or d pellet of morphine to quiet
his nerves.
The mans peadings became so constant
that finally Lieut.. Aniss sent for Dr. hewitt.
GAVE HIM AN INJECTION.
McCa wley carried a complete case of
needles and Il half dozen vials of opium
pellets, and when he was brought into
the squad room and saw DR.. hewitt with
the case in his hands his face lighted up
and he began TO unbutton ms cuff on his
left wrist. His fingers trcmDled with
eagerness ana he fumbed at the studs.
How often do YOU take this"'' said
Dr. hewitt, holding up a vial.
We'll, three times a day, usually
said the Old man, but some times five or
= Il m IN !
McCa wiley watched the physician eagerly
as he prepared the injection and as the
doctor deftly shot the needle i'll his arm the
old mans face relaxed into a smile and he
Strengthened up with a sigh OF relief.
He went back to his cell quite cheerfuly,
81 wing that he was all right now and could
sleep.
MEGA wley's record is a long one and
full OF startling Incidents. He came here
with his father in 1862 and the pair rented
a room on TweGt y-SeCond street, near q
street They had been there but Il few
days when one morning IL WAS discovered
that the house had been broken into and a
trunk containing $500 in cash had been
taken. The trunk was found in the gov
vcrnment corral on the opposite side OF
the street. I had been broken open and
the money distracted.
Detective McDevitt, who was at that
time stationed at headquarters, was as
signed the case, aud began TO look up
the record of the two MEGA wleys He
found that they were known in New York
as crooked people, and after thinking
over the case for some time he resolved on
a bold move.
