THE CHARGES ACCUMULATE.
Albert S. Atkinson, Alleged Swim
dler. VIII be- ArraiEncd Today.


d1er. VIII Be ArraiEncd Today.
Albert S. Atkinson, who was arrested
Sunday and locked up by Policeman Bur-
ton on a charge of being a suspicious
character, will be arrajgned in court this
morning, and it is probable that he will
have to face other charges than the one
preferred against him by Z. b. Kennedy.
1t was learned last night that there would
be at least four additional complaints
against the man when he appears in court.
1t will be remembered that Atkinson
was arrested because of an alleged swim
die perpetrated upon Mr.. Kennedy, where
by the prisoner secured s100. The money
was obtained on a chattel mortgage on
furniture, etc, supposed to be the property
of Atkinson, and which he claimed to have
at 524 Twenfth Street northwest. A sub
sequent investigation developed that the
man did not occupy the premises mention
ed and was not known there. After his
arrest he sought to close the incident by
paying over to Mr.. Kennedy sSS and note
for SIS. This was to indemnify Mr.. Ken
nedy for the 500 advanced by him and
for the cost incident to the mortgage.
Since the settlement of the Kennedy mat
ter it has developed that Atkinson has
been guilty of other alleged Illicit trans
actions. He is said to have gwen cneck,
which proved to be worthless, TO W. A.
Smith, cigar dealer in + Street north
west. The check was for s2.76 and was
drawn on the Washington Loan and Trust
Company. 1t is now in the hands of the
police, and will be used as evidence. Ac-
cording to the statement of ]. A. Rock,
who was engaged in the cigar business
with Atkinson at sos Z Street, Mr.. Smith
purchased cigars from the firm and was
entitled to a rebate for s2.76. Rock gave
that amount to Atkinson to be given to
Smith, and instead OF supplying the cash
Atkinson is said to have given the al
legged worthless check for that amount.
The check was issued on May IL, but was
dated May 13. When presented for pay
ment it was pronounced worthless.
Aside from the dealings mentioned above
Atkinson is said to have figured in other
transactions of a similar character in Bal
timore. Clifford S. Hagan, formerly Of
that city. but now living at col Florida
Avenue northwest, claims to have been
associated with Atkinson in the cigar busi-
ness in Baltimore, and to have suffered as
a consequence.

FALSE PRETENcEs CHARGED.
Arrest of the Manager of the Alpha
Medical Association.

DR.. Joseph c. Ellis, manager of the AL
pha Medical Association, 615 Street
northwest was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Muller and Baur on charge of
false pretences. The warrant was issued
by direction of Prosecuting Attorney Null
lowny on the complaint of Miss Alice
Cruit The amount involved in the false
pretence charge and named in the warrant
is only $40. but it is alleged that DR.. Ellis
induced Miss Cruit 10 part with $145.90
for which she claims to have got moth
ing in return.
Dr. Ellis was taken to headquarters and
examined. He denies the charges against
him and gave bond in the sum of $500 for
his appearance in court. Miss Cruit is
represented by Attorney p. ]. Ryan who
is said to have called on DR.. Ellis in the
interest of his client and attempted to set
tie the matter out of court. He is said
to have failed, and the issuing of the war

THE SUICIDE UNIDENTIFIED.
Nothing Yet Known of the Mar

Though the suicide at Cabin John Bridge
of the unknown man supposed to be C. Z.
