MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Identification of Man Once Believed
To he Il. Ii. Ritchey.


To he Il. Ii. Ritchey.
Policeman L. A. Latchford of the Ana
costa station succeeded yesterday in clear
ing up the mystery of the demented man
who was found last Thursday morning
wandering around John E. Powells farm
in Maryland, south of Anacostia, and an
sN cred partly to the description of the
missing merchant, Thos. B. Ritchey. The
driver of a yellow-top delivery wagon, it
was said, had taken charge of the man by
request at the asylum gate, 1t having been
shown that the stranger was not an inmate
of the asylum. Policeman Latchford has
been working hard upon the case since Sun
day, and the manner in which he closed up
the matter is said to be a really clever
piece of work. The officer located the own
er of the delivery wagon at % and ii streets
northeast. He is proprietor of a furniture
store and hfs name is j. r. Ridgly Instead
of taking his passenger to pollce station
Ridgly had employed him about the store.
When he read of the case being connected
with Ritchey's he turned the unfortunate
man over to the ninth precinct police, but,
it is said, without telling what he knew of
him.
The police in the ninth precinct took the
demented man into Police Court on the
charge of vagrancy, and the judge took the
prisoners personal bonds to leave Washing
ton. His condition is said to be much i'm
proved over the state he was in when found
a Wanderer. He suffers from melancholia
His name is Clayton Berpor, aged thirty
one, and his father, he said, lives in Penn
SylVauia.

THE CHORUS at WORK.
Good Attendance, q t. National Rifles
Hall Last Night.


There was a gathering of considerably
over a hundred singers slast night at the
National Rifles Hall of those who are
willing to take part IN the chorus which is
to greet the returning soldiers of the Dis
trict regiment Friday morning. DR.. Frank
T. Howe, the chairman of the chorus COM
mittee. made a few remarks after Mr.
Percy S. Foster, the header, had raped for
order. expires sing tho. thanks of the COM
mttee that the attendance was so large on
such hot night, and saying that arrange
nients had been made for another rehear-
sal at the same place tomorrow Thursday
evening. He said that the committee de-
sired a chorus of at least Ave hundred, in
order to give proper effect to the patriotic
songs that were to be sung, as the singing
would be in the open alr-probably upon
the east front of the treasury building
and he was sure that the required number
would be forthcoming.
Mr.. Foster then took charge, and brief
rehearsal Of The Star Spangled Banner
and America" was had. The quality of
the voices of those present was manifest in
the volume of tone given, which was sur
prisingly clear and full. There were some
of the best choir singers in the District in
attendance, and the gathering was repre-
sentative of the various musical or
ganizations. The male voices were how
ever, in the minority, and it is hoped that
tomorrow night there will be good turn
out OF gentlemen. Mr.. Foster expressed
his qualification at the result accomplished
and at the good tone developed. He said
that while every one knew the patriotic
airs it was proposed to sing rehearsal was
necessary in order to secure precision Of
attack and uniform accent. He urged all
to attend the next rehearsal, which would
be the last, and to bring their male rela-
tives and friends. Mr.. Olmstead acted as
accompe mist.
Mr.. E. B. Hay, the chairman of the mu-
sic committee, who had entered the hall
during the rehearsal, was then introduced
by Mr.. Foster, and made a happy address,
saying that the short time allowed for
practice prevented the doing of any elabor-
ate work. but that he had told the general
committee he was satisfied that the chorus
would be ready to do its patriotic share In
welcoming home the brave soldier BOYS no
matter what time they might arrive He
thanked those present for their attend
ance. and urged them to be there tomorrow
night and to see that the number was
swelled to fully five hundred. 1t didn't
matter if there We're thousand voices he
said.
Besides those already mentioned of the
music committee, there We're present DR..

son, Mrs Annie Louise Powell and Mrs.

BROUGHT HOMHFOR BURIAL
Bodies of John and Edward Y. Holman Re-
turnen Hare.
Further Particulars Df the Crime of
Which They Were the In
nOcento Victims.

The bodies of John Holman and his son.
Edward v. Hofman who were murdered
near Scotland, surry county, Va, Monday,
as published in yesterdays Star, reached
this city on the 3:45 o'clock train yesterday
afternoon Mr.. John w. Kinlock, who was
Mr.. Hofman's foreman, accompanied the
bodies here and had them removed to J..
w. Lees undertaking establishment. This
afternoon at o'clock the bodies were
taken to Congressional cemetery, where rel
ativs and friends had gathered to pay a
last tribute to the dead. The Rev. John
c. Bowers, pastor of St. Marks Lutheran
Church, of which Mr.. Holman. ST., was
an elder, conducted the services
Additional particulars of the triple homi-
eide were related last night by Mr.. Kin
lock. John Schmidt, the slayer of the Hof-
mans was land owner in the vicinity of
the lumber mill of Mr.. Holman and recent
ly he sold the latter a strip of timber land
As had been his custom when he partici-
pated in business transaction, he re-
GREETED that he had made the sale and
imagined he had been swindled. This feel
ing was intensified Monday when
Schmidt went to Surry and got drunk
Then, as stated yesterday, he bought an
extra gallon to carry home with him. he
had Winchester rifle hanging over his
shoulder when he returned to the camp,
but nothing was thought of it. as 1t is not
an unusual thing to meet the natives on
the road armed in this way.
When he reached the camp he brought
up the subject of the recent TRANSACTION
Young Mr.. Hoffman, who was anxious to
avoid trouble made remark about the
protection of the law. Then the intoxicat-
ed man. who evidently realized that he
could not cause a fight, fired upon the
younger Holman. The latter fell, mortally
wounded. His father hastened to the side
of his dying son, and while there on his
knees he remarked: MY God, you nave
killed my son.
Schmidt, who had fired three shots, then
raised his rifle again.. and this time the
elder Hoffman received a fatal wound.
Mr.. E. c. Collins, IL mber inspector for
Robert Mclean & Co. of Baltimore, wit
messed the shooting. He would probably
have been the third victim had not he es-
capped by entering the mill and riding away
on mule. Schmidt then went in search of
Mr.. Kinlock but the latter happened to be
at the spring, a safe distance from the
murderer.
When the sheriff learned of the affair he
summoned several men and went in searcn
of Schmidt, who@ad declared he would not
be taken alive He was found at his house,
and when he reached for his rifle to greet
his visitors the latter rfddled him with bull
lets.
Schn.idt's relatives, it is said, may cause
trouble in the county, as some of them
have declared their intention to avenge his
death.
Mr. Hoffman, who was sixty years old,
was very much loved by the people IN Sur
ry, and when news of his murder was re-
ceived several lynching parties were start
ed. Had Schmidt not been killed as he was
he would undoubtedlyl have been lynched.

cause The new hay had been put Ia the
barn only few days ago.
There were two vicious dogs chained TO
the barn and nothing was heart OF them
until the fire had gained considerable head

sufferings.
