NOT FRANK FUNK.
Suspect at Hyattsvflle Who Closely
Resembled the Murderer.


Resembled the Murderer.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HYATTSVILEE, Md, July 13, 1898.
The suspect who was arrested here yes
terday is not Frank Funk. the murderer
of William Brooks. Such is the opinion
of Detective Phillips, who came from
Washington yesterday afternoon in re-
sponse to notice of the arrest So closely
did the suspect answer Funks description
that the detective was fully half an hour
making up his mind to release him. His
clothing, hat and shoes were exactly SIM
liar to those alleged to have been worn
by Funk, and his general appearance tai
lied with that of the fugitive. He was
about the same build and same weight, but
was probably an inch shorter than Funk
He had no mole, however, upon his cheek,
but singularly enough, there was a fresh
scar, which for a time led to the belief that
mole might have been removed. The
great point of difference between the two
men was that the suspects arms were
white and smooth as a woman'S and en-
tirely void of tattoo marks in India ink.
The suspects fears were evidently re-
moved when the officer departed. He talk
ed quite freely, but in an incoherent strain.
He said his name was William Raymond
and that he worked cor a butcher named
on Lexington street between Pacca end
Green streets. Baltimore. His mind was
evidently affected, for he could give TO ac-
count as to when he left Baltimore or
how he reached this place. In fact he
seemed to think he was in the suburbs
of Baltimore city, and could not be per-
suaded that he was thirty-flve miles away
Raymond was locked up and Jacob Schafer.

Fort Washington and other points of more
than ordinary interest. Admission tickets

W. Howard Keyworth, the proprietor Of
the Pan-Electric House in Bladensburg,
who was shot by Guy Barron the afternoon
of July 8, and whose serious condition was
mentioned in The Evening Star Of yester-
day, died last night at 1905 O'Clock from
the effects OF the wound. From the first
the attendant physicians had httls hopes of
the injured mans recovery, but it was be-
lieved if he could hold cut for few days
he would have a fighting chance for his
life. Monday evening there was a changs
for the worse, and ever since the patient
lad been gradually sinking. Yesterday DR..
Ford Thompson Of Washington was called
into consultation, but it was manifest that
the case was beyond medical skill.
Howard keyworth, or Dumps, as he
vas called, spent all his life in Washington
or this vicinity. He was widely known and
had a large circle of friends. He was the
son of the late John H. Keyworth, one of
the oldest and best known residents of
Washington, and grandson of John T.
Towers. former mayor Of Washington.
For g. long while young Keyworth was
employed at his fathers store, corner of
the latter's death he carried on the busi-
ness for his mother About six months ago
he succeeded George w. Coldenstroth in
the management of the Pam sctric House
in Bladensburg, end moved to that village
where he has since resided.
The difficulty in which the fatal wound
was received took place in the bar room
of the hotel. Some fifteen or twenty min
utes previously Barron and Keyworth had
qrarreled over a game of cards. and Key
worth had ordered Barron from the prem
ises. The latter departed, but returned
later, and while Keyworth was behind the
bar, rolling cigarette, it is alleged, Bar
ron fired the fatal shot. Ths bullet passed
through Keyworth's body, penetrating the
right lung and falling upon the floor, bur
whether it entered the breast and made its
exit just abov, the shoulder blade, or vice
versa, Is a question which will be of vital
Importance in the trial that will follow.
