7HARPB TO FACE 4 JURY
The Former Soldier Charged With
Killing a COmrade.
His TrinI VIII Commence in Criminal
Court No. 1 This MorninG-An Al
legged Murder Which Occurred in
Maya Policeman Also ShOt-Sym-
pathy Expressed for the Prisoner.

The first Of the murder cases which were
set for trial during the October term OF
the Supreme Court of the District viii he
called this morning in Criminal Court No
/, Justice Clabaugh presiding. The accused
is Dock \. Tharpe, who will be put on
trial for his life for the killing of Aaron
Bishop at the Sixth Street depot the night
of May 81 last. Tharpe is also charged
with an assault with intent to kill Joseph
Acton. a member of the Metropolitan Po
lice force. Both offences were committed
at the same place on the same night.
Although Tharpe is not a resident OF the
District, and was entirely unknown here
until the unfortunate affair which resulted
in his being charged with murder, more
than usual interest is being taken IN the
outcome Of the case.
AS was stated at the time of the killing
Of Bishop by Tharpe, both were members
OF the Fourth Regiment OF Immunes, and
were on their way 10 their homes in Mis-.
sissippi when the shooting occurred. The
regiment to which they belonged had been
mustered out the morning Of the day upon
which Bishop was killed. The company of
which Tharpe and Bishop were members
had come TO Washington
Some of the members were on their way
South. and others were going in different
directions AS it happened, the two trains
which were TO carry the former volunteers
to their respective homes were scheduled
10 leave the Sixth Street depot about the
same time. Tharpe unfortunately had been
drinking and when the announcement was
shouted out that the trains were about to
start he with others hurried to the gate at
the entrance to the shed under which the
trains were waiting. AS is the custom
when the soldiers arrived al the gate the
agent of the road compelled all TO show
their tickets, indicating their destination
The train for the South, which Tharpe was
to take. however. was scheduled 10 leave the
depot some minutes after the other, and
upon his showing his ticket the agent in
formed him that he could not pass the gate
at that time. The liquor Tharpe had drunk
had gotten the better of him, and he swore
he would go through the gate then or
there would be trouble. Policeman Joseph
Acton seeing the condition of Tharpe, re-
monstrated with him in a mild but deter
mined manner and explained that ii was
not time for him to pass through the gate,
for the reason that his train was not ready
10 start.
Remonstrance and the interposition of
the policeman had the effect 10 still more
anger Tharpe and, with a rush, he
started 70 pass the gate. Acton threw
himself in the way TO prevent him, and
Tharpe. losing all control Of himself, drew
a pistol from his pocket and fired at the
policeman He fired more than once, and
when the smoke cleared away it WAS dis
| covered that he had rot only shot Acton
The times., 1899-11-20

in the arm, but had also killed his comrade
Bishop. The latter was standing directly
in the rear of Acton, and the bullet which
killed him struck him fair in the fore
head
Since his incarceration in the District Jail
a number of charitable ladies of this city
have eyinced great interest in his case,
and have done all possible to make his con
fnement as endurable and comfortable as
possible. Tharpe will be defended by Col
Fred BGall who has volunteered his sery-
ices.
II was generally expected from the an
nCuncements made in some of the local
newspapers that Frank Funk. the alleged
murderer of William Brooks, would have
been put on trial today. and that Benjamin
H. Smell would be called TO answer for the
murder Of Lizzie Welsanberger on Monday
next Both of these cases, however, were
postponed because of the absence of ma
Jerial witnesses for the defence, and though
every possible means has been used by the
District Attorneys office, it was found i'm
possible to have them present at the time
set for the trials.
The Funk case, however. is set for Mon
day next in place of the Smell trial. and
the latter will go over probably until De-
cember H. or as early as it is practicable
