COMPRESSED MOTOR.
Apparatus for EcktnSton Road Ii In
the City,


Mr.. W. kesley Schoepf, receiver for the
lexington Railroad Company, was at the
Commissioners office this morning to report
the arrival Of the air compressor which is to
run the compressed air car during this
week. Mr.. Schoepf expresses the belief
that the Hoadley- Knight motor, which he
will use on the road, will solve the prob
lem Of rapid transit for the company, and
will bo followed in a short time by an
entire equipment Of compressed air cars
for the road. He also reported the compile
tion Of the Washington and Maryland rail-
road and said a car would be run over the
tracks tomorrow. The motive power for
these cars will be supplied from the Eek
ington plant. 1t was because of this util-
1Zation of the power that Mr.. Schoepf noti-
f1ed the Potomac company that he could
not supply the current for lighting Eek
ington after the I'd of March The appli-
cation for a permit to connect the exist
ing conduits OH 9th street with the pole
line in Eckington,and the subsequent with
drawal of the application have heretofore
been set forth in The Star.
In discussing the lighting of lexington
Mr.. Schoepf said he regretted very much
the condition which necessitated turning
off the current. He was going to strain a
point, however, and give the householdeTs,
at least, sufficient power for light. This
would necessitate the running of fewer
cars over the Washington and Maryland
line, but he believed the exigencies of the
situation demanded the sacrifice.

ooNFEssEs THE CRIME.
A Man Who Says He Killed Wesley
Hall.

There Is confined in. cell at the ninth
precinct police station today man who
claims, with both persistency and en-
phasis. that he is the long-wanted muir
derer Of Wesley Hail. 1t will be remem-
bered that Hall. hunchback shoemaker,
was brutally killed in his shop, a one-story
frame structure, located on 9th street Just
above Florida avenue. April last When
the body was found there was every evi-,
dence that fierce struggle had taken
place. the cripple evidently making he
roic fight for his life. In looking for the
murderer the police have been completely
suspicion Immediately following the crime,
but all succeeded in establishing their in
nocence.
Policeman Payne of the ninth precinct
was patrolling his beat on Tennessee ave
nue. northeast about o'clock Saturday
evening last, when he was accosted by
colored man about forty years of age, who
asked to be directed to a lodging house.
The actions of the man were not alto
gether proper, so he was placed under
rest on suspicion. AT the station the pris
oner gave the name Of Charles Parker,
and of his own volition he made an al
the murderer of Wesley Hall Parker is
very talkative, and described the struggle
with Hall with minute detail. Policeman
Sam Brown investigated the case, and in
there IS SOne tTulR III tne
statement of the prisoner. Some of the
officials seem to think that Parker is an
insane man telling the truth. He is evil
IDENTIFY of low, vicious character, and in
all proba biiity fully capable of committing
such a crime as the one described.
Inspector Hollnberger and Detective
Lacy, who have examined the man, take
an opposite view. Both the inspector and
Detective Lacy agree in the opinion that
Parker Is of weak mind, and having heard
the murder discussed at great length
among the colored population of the city
has come to believe that he is the muir
derer. Parker states that he struck Hall
with club, and carried the club away,
while in reality the club that ended the
life Of the shoemaker was found in the
shop. Again, Parker does not give a cor
rect account Of time, as it relates to the
murder, and 1t is said that he varies in
several other directions.
Lieut.. Heffner and the policemen of the
ninth precinct find 1t difficult to doubt
Parker's story, as 1t is so complete in
every. respect. The matter will be careful
ly investigated and thoroughly sifted.
Parker this afternoon was taken to police
headquarters, where he was closely ques-
toned by the detectives. Later he was
driven to the eighth precinct station, the
precinct in which the murder occurred,
and examined by the officers there.
