THE WRONG MAN ARRESTED.
The Identity of Nora CaDnon's As
saiiant In Doubt

There were new developments yester-
day in the assault case of Elias Delaver.
who was identified some time ago as the
assailant OF Nora Cannon. in vacant
house on South Capitol Street.
Sergeant Daley. of the Fourth Precinct,
today received a letter which Indicates
that Delaver is innocent. 1t was freely
intimated in police circles when Delaver
was arrested that the Cannon woman
had identified the wrong man. 1t was
even suggested that there were some
things which were kept from the police.
She persisted in her Identification how
ever, and swore to 1t in the Police Court
Delayer could not prove an alibi and was
held for the action of the grand jury
His attorneys, Campbell Darlington
and w. Calvin Chase, went to work TO
secure evidence against the real perpe-
traitor of the crime. Meanwhile the Can
non woman closed up her house and left
the city. She went to New York, and
this mornings mail brought TO Sergeant
Daley a letter In which she said she did
not care 10 prosecute the accused man.

BRICK PoMERoY's SON.
The Eccentric Young Man in Limbo
as NasrRnt.

as NaGrRnt.
Charles y. Pomeroy, q son of the late
Brick Pomeroy, was prisoner in the
Police Court yesterday on a charge of
vagrancy. He is nearly thirty years Old
and is said 10 be an eccentric genius who
was some years ago a clerk in the Census
Office. He is a poet and has spent much
time in the writing of sonnets. He is
finely educated and can recite extracts
from the works of all the great poets. His
mother and relatives live in New Eng
land, but they are said to have had little
10 do with him and since he left the Gov
ernment service he has lived a life of
seclusion and poverty.
Pomeroy's eccentric manner led to his
arrest about a year ago when an effort
was made TO have him adjudged insane.
EX-Lieutenant Governor Hart, of Ohio,
defended him and the jury directed his
release.
Policeman Gibson explained yesterday
that Pomeroy lived In little room in a
house on NJ Street northwest, and was
without any means OF support. The ac-
cused stood meekIy before the judge and
explained that he had received a dollar
from home last week.
II got a pound of sugar this morning" +"
he said, exhibiting a package.
The court remarked that he didn't see
why, If Pomeroy wanted TO live on a dol
lar week. he cannot do so.
THAT is his business" Judge Scott said,
''If he can get enough to eat on that
sum-
Il expect TO get place in the Census
Office when it opens again." said Pome-
roy.
Have you made application inquired
the court.
Yes, sir''
"All right; you are discharged" said
Judge Scott, and the son of Brick
Pomeroy departed, balancing the pound
of sugar in his hand.

trial began yesterday IN criminal court
No. 2 Judge Bradley presiding, wiH be
concluded this morning
The crime of which the defendant is
accused was committed on February %,
on Pennsylvania Avenue, near Sixth
Street southeast, and was the result of a
drunken brawl. AT the time and place
mentioned it is alleged that NARROW
struck Bowie several times, knocking him
down. In falling Bowie's head struck
the pavement with such force as to frac-
ture the skull. He was taken TO Freed
mans Hospital where he languished until
March 5, when he died.
The Government was represented by
Assistant District Attorney Shillington
and the defendant by Messrs. Jones and
Ford
The following compose the jury: Charles
F. Obold, a. c. Hines Thomas Tanning,
William II. Dunkhorst, Charles c. Dyer,
George Burdette, w. S. Baker, William z.
Morgan, W. NJ. Whyte, John o. F. Nc
Carthy, and J. T. Duvall.
The evidence of the witnesses for the
Government showed that on the after
noon Of February 23 NARROW and the
deceased were drinking together and that
when on their way east on Pennsylvania
Avenue, an alteration took place be-
tween them, which resulted in Bowie be-
ing knocked down several times by the
defendant, NARROW Bowie was picked
up in an unconscious condition and was
sent to the Emergency Hospital for
treatment. Bowie soon recovered and
WAS sent home. In few days he COM
piained of pains in his head and was
sent to Freedmans Hospital, where he
died on March 8.
In opening the case for the Govern
ment, Mr.. Shillington said he would de-
part from the usual custom of calling the
physicians who had attended the de-
ceased and called Ed Miller an eyewit-
ness, to the stand first. Miller detailed
the circumstances of the encounter be-
tween NARROW and the deceased sub
stantially as recited above.
The defendant testified in his own be-
half, and denied in toto the story of the
Governments witnesses. claiming that
he and the deceased We're friends from
childhood. and on the day of the in
Fiction of the alleged fatal wound had no
quarrel with Bowie.
The defense will base it's grounds of
acquittal on the certificate of the ply
sician at Freedman's Hospital, who re
ported Bowie's death as the result of
pneumonia.
