An affray which occurred one week ago
| today in Georgetown between Henry A.
Stewart and Michael Donoghue resulted
| fatally this morning, Stewart dying at the
| home of his father at 1920 34th street.
The story of the affray has been kept very
quiet and nothing could be ascertained of
| the occurrence.
Even with the death of one of the party,
1t is extremely difficult to find any details
| of the crime, which, however will un-
doubtedly result in a charge of murder
! being placed against the name Of Donogh e.
The affair happened last Tuesday after
| noon. either at Donoghue's house, which is
| located on 37th, or Warren. street. near P
| street. and just opposite the stone wall of
| Georgetown University, or in the street in
| the vicinity of the house.
| though the affair must have been wit
messed by number of people, all con-
| cerned are very reticent. The locality has
| long borne the name of holy hill" and at
one tine was quite a tough place but of
| late there have been very few difficulties
| occurring in that section
FROM what can be ascertained it appears
| that Stewart, Donoghue and one or rwo
| other men were together
| All hands had been drinking and were
well under the influence of liquor 1t is
stated that Stewart was endeavoring to
| lead Donughue to his home when the scran
| commenced. 1t was claimed that during
the melee Donoghue hit Stewart across the
| back with base bali bat knocking him
down, then kicked him in the stomach and
| while he was lying the ground slammed
on his stomach with both feet several
| times
AT any rate, Stewart was found living
! helpiess IN the street. Some one sent word
TO his father that he had been hurt and
needed attention, and Mr.. Stewart sr i'm
! mediately went up. to the place 1t was
about O'Clock in the afternoon when he
received word In the meantime the pros
| trate man was carried to the residence of
| his brother, Marion Stewart who lives on
3Gth street, few doors from 2 street
When the father reached the place the son
Marion was met and he told his father
| that Henry, or 'Tutes," as he was per-
| haps hetter known, was lying in his vesti-
bule asleep. He told the father that the

! knowing that the son would return home
| when he awoke. He did not even see the
| injured man at the time.
Doctor Summoned.
In fact. he did not see him until about
10 o'clock that same evening, when he
| found him at the house, appearing to be
in great pain.
Pap. do you want to do me a favor?'
asked he.
Yes, what is it?' replied the father
Go and get a doctor for me, IL you

and he managed to give the man some
relief. ''Tutes' was sober at the time,

An operation was performed on him.
| The injured man jid net seem to think

"A Star reporter endeavored to ascertain
! the cause of the quarrel between the two
| men, but this he was unable to do The
| Donoghue family has a large number of
relatives on holy hill,'' and they would Lot
say anything in regard to the matter
| The other people in the vicinity who
| happere ed to know anything at ali about
| the matter would not say anything for
| fear of displeasing their neighbors. Even
| the police department was unable to get
! the correct story of the scrap. When
Stewart was taken to the home of his
| brother on Both street he was carried by
| two of his friends who did not know any
thing of the occurrence.
His brother Marion, when seen by a Star
reporter, stated that 'Tutes'' had told him
that Mike Donoghue had kicked him in
the stomach. knocked him down and then
| jumped all over him.
