ond precinct furnishing a more complete
description Of Carr to assist in his arrest
Sixth. 1t appears that the system de-
vised by Inspector Hollinberger provides
that all dispatches coming in at night
should be placed on the desk of Officer Cor
man, to be handed to him upon his ARRIVAL
on the following morning.
"Sevelth 1t appears that 1t Is the duty
of Officer German to receive and care1uliy
preserve all dispatches coming In during
the night, and to hand them to the inspec-
tor on the following morning; that on the
morning in question he took the dispa.cnes
from his desk, with the exception OF the
one relating to Carr. which, through mad
vertence, he failed to collect with the 9TH
ers and which, consequently, was not
brought to the attention Of the Inspector
as soon as it should have been. In view OF
the previous excellent record OF Ohcer
German, it Is recommended that ne be
reprimanded for his carelessness in THIS
connection, and be warned to be more care
full in the future.

Gent defniteness of instruction to the men
under him regarding the sending IN Oh IN
formation when such events occur; also'
that he was derelict in the discharge OF his
duties, when asked for the services Of Off
Ger O'Dea at or about noon, in sending MIN

many members of the force would like 10
know Some of the older officers thought
there would be some removals because OF
the alleged negligence, following so closely
upon the manner In which the dorsey

ipating some removals number OF the
officers had already started to get their In
fiuence together to work for the positions
which they thought would certainly be
made vacant.

Since Saturday the police have searched
q number of houses and arrested number
of persons on suspicion. One Of the sus-
poets had on his arm the initials &c. }. e.,
and 1t was thought that he might be Carr,
and that he had preixed the "C' after he
had committed the crime charged against
him.
The last man arrested as Carr was picked
up this morning at Beltsville by Constable
John w. Harrison, who sent word or the

vile. Inspector Hollinberger sent Detective
Boyd out to see the suspect.
Located Mt Highlands.
Mr. Robert L. Payne. a resident of High
lands, Md, called at police headquarters
about noon today and informed Inspector
Hollinberger that he had reason to believe
that Carr. the assailant Of the little Robin

Mr. Payne stated that a young man. who
gave his name as James Hamilton and his
home as in Illinois, but who answered in
NEST particulars to the description given Of
Carr bad been in the vicinity Of the village
for q couple of days. but had attracted no
attention until yesterday afternoon. when
he commenced acting in suspicious man
ner and was taken into custody by Deputy
Sheriff Vincent Of Hyattsville. The latter.
after making a close investigation of the

Did Not Stop There.
The statement is made on the authority
Of the family residing there that there Is
absolutely no truth in the statement that
Carr stopped at 1927 9th street northeast
on the night of his escape. The lady living
there Is not a blood rela ton Of Carr and
knows nothing whatever about him.
Thomas Swallow Suspected.
The Beltsville suspect proved to be an
inoffensive young man named Thomas
Swallow. whose appearance indicates that
he has been on the road for several years,
although he says he has been Iramping
only three months. He gave his age as
twenty years. and says that since his
mothers death he has lived in ST. John s
Orphanage.

the prisoner when Constable Harrison ar
rested him, you think my names Carr"
The poor unfortunate young man ex-
planned that he had been in Wilmington,
Philadelphia and Chester, he said, and he
had nOtl been arrested until he reached
Laurel. Then he was stripped and ex-
amined for marks of Identification and re-
leased. There was nothing about him to
indicate that he was the fugitive, Carr, and
the constable released him. He was given
railroad ticket and he reached here be-
tween and o'clock this afternoon. His
father, he says. Is a fisherman, and he IL
going to his aunt's house on Prospect
street, Georgetown. but he says he has
been away from home so long that he does
not remember her name.
