IN DIRE NEED. 4 YOUNG MAN Is
TEMPTED. AND FALLS.
He PAWSS OTHER FOLKS MACHINES.
Charles q. Powers to Answer Three
Charges I'm the Police Court Ihis
Singer Company.

In the Police Court this morning JUS
tice Crutchfeld will have before him
sad case. in which the character ana
possibly the liberty Of young man oil
hitherto unspotted character. who was
by virtue Of his poverty, led into wrong
doing. is at stake.
The young man in question is Charles
O. Powers, who is prisoner at the
Third Police-Station, where he is charged
on three warrants with the theft Of a,
sewing-machine from the Singer Sewing
Machine Company, and with obtaining, by
false representation, sewing-machines
from Laura Watkins. Of No. All Catherine
street, and James Milan. of No. 1Oil west
Leigh street.
DIDN'T INTEND TO DO WRONG.
In view of the young mans family
connections and Of his plea that poverty
he being the only support of two unmar-
ried sisters, caused him to commit the
acts, the case is peculiarly pathetic.
Powers does not deny having taken the
machines, but he asserts that he had
no idea of defrauding the people out of
their machines, being only desirous OF
securing money on them with which to
tide him over his financial troubles.
Powers was until month ago. sales
agent for the Singer SeWing-Machine
cen pany, but for some reason lost his
position. He was thoroughly familiar
with the business of the company, and
knew personally many of its customers.
He knocked about the streets for some
time looking for work, but failing to find
it, was driven TO desperation, and being,
as he told the Dispatch reporter, In dire
need. he visited Laura Watkins, and bor-
rowed her machine for a month.
GOT MONEY on IT.
He hired a wagon from a man named
Jones and had the machine hauled 10 the
auction-house of a. y. Pollard, where ne
left IL as collateral security for $3.50.
When this money gave out he went 10
MIR. AIilan's and took his machine, ostln-
sibly TO rerair it. He did make the re-
pairs. he said, but instead OF returning
the machine 10 Mr.. Milan. he took 1t 70
STEMS pawnshop, on sixth street Where
he put it up for 81.
He SAYS he didn't steal the machine
from the Singer Company, as alleged by
them. but transferred II from one GUS
toner TO another. though this he al
mitted having done week after he Ieit
the employ Of the company.
Is SORRY FOR 1T NOW.
Powers was arrested by Policeman j.
If. Thomas early yesterday morning, ana
made a clean breast Of the whole busl-
ness to the officer. expressing himseI aS
being very sorry for what he had zone.
n do so be could restore the machines
tn their rightful owners I'm two nours.
He was exceedingly worried over the
disgrace which he said his trouble would
bring upon his family. He is well known
TO the officers at the Third Station, an
of whom express great sympathy LOT

Mr.. A. II. Gilmore, a newspaper man
from Newport News, Va, came to the
citv Yesterday morning under very pecu-
liar and somewhat sensational circum-
stances. lie was taken to be the eX-
champion pugilst Of the world, James D.
Corbett. as soon as he stepped from the
train at the Chesapeake and ONO depot
and quite a crowd of men and small boys
followed him up the street. seVeraI tinleS
tho visitor heard the puzzling expressions:
"Ain't he a beaut." Don't tell me ne
couldn't Iick FitZsimmons," &c. MI
Gilmore went at once TO Ford's Hotel, reg
istered. and stroNed into the cafe, where
he ordered a bottle of beer, which he
drank with relish lie was followed into
the saloon by several persons, and aiter
having ouaffed the foaming beverage
some gentleman approached him ana sald
ouite enthusiastically. Take another one

In his modesty. Mr.. Gilmore, VINO IN
MANY resuects resembles the eX-champloh'

he had never had such remarkable eN-
ncrience Il am really a Bostonian, but
have been living In Newport News for
month or so. but was never taken for the
bic Californian before. l had quite
brigade of boys and curious men following
me around the streets to-day, and had

he raised up in bed TO greet the Dlspalch
,orrceertative The visitor looks very
much like Corbctt in physique, and in
facial appearance from just below the
ewes to the top Of his head. The pompa-
aour hair Of Mr.. Gilmore's IS almost ex-
actly like the suit worn by the ex-cham-
Mon. Mr.. Gilmorc's hands, however
lack a great deal of being as large or
formidable looking as those Of Corbetts.
The Newport News man also wears
brown moustache a feature which Cor
bett never possessed.
