HE MEANT MURDER.
Judges Opinion of n Man Who Car
rfed SlungshOt.

Op1n1On n Man who Car.
ried SlungshOt.
"He meant murder" remarked Judge
Kimball this morning, when Detectives Par
lam and Baur exhibited a slungshot made
OF stone weighing about two pounds The
weapon was evidence in the case of big
colored man. Eamed William c. Closson,
who was arrested last night. Suspicious
character and concealed weapons were
the charges against him.
That's the worst weapon I ever saw"
the judge told the prisoner land any man
who carries it means murder"
Last night about $40 o'clock the detsc-
tives were on Missouri avenue, and their
attention was attracted to three colored
men, who were acting suspiciously. The
men were seen to follow several pedestri-
ans. Finally, when the suspects came near
the policemen. one of the former remarked
There comes two - now; let's
get one of en-"
Without waiting to see what they would
do, the officers grabbed the largest of the
colored men, who proved to be Closson. He
vas searched there on the street and re-
lieved of his weapon.
The prisoners statement was that his
home is in South Carolina, but he had
come here on an oyster beat from the lower
Potomac. Soon after he arrived he had an
experience with some strange colored men,
and then he made the slungshot for pro-
tecticn.
Where did you get your idea of how to
make such a Weapon?" the court asked.
His answe: was that he had seen his cap
tain make boat tenders similar to the
weapon. He explained how he would handfe
the weapon If attacked, and said:
IF more than one man attacked me I'd
just tap them with it to keep them off,"
'1ll put you away for while where you
will have no reason to use it," said the
judge, and The prisoner was given a SEN
tence of one years Imprisonment, six
months in Jail and a similar period in the
work house.
