SPECIAL OFFICER IN JAIL.
Convicted of Purloining a Revolver
and n HfIIv.

Marco Payne, a special officer, was tried
today before Judge Mills on the charge of
stealing pistol and billy, valued together
at 075, from the District of Columbia.
Sergeant Bradley told the court he had
heard Sunday that Payne had the articles
mentioned in his possession, and questioned
him as to how he got them. Payne first
claimed that he bought the pistol at a
pawnbroker's, but later alleged that he
bought it at a secondhand store on d
street northwest. When Sergeant Bradley
convinced Payne that neither of those
stories could be true he admitted that he
found both articles in question in the toilet
room at the Police Court. Investigation
further showed that the pistol and billy
were left in the toilet room at the Police
Court building by officer G. B. johnson Of
the first precinct June 2.
Testimony was given by Officer johnson
as to the manner in which he lost the arti-
cles, and by Lieutenant Boyle as to the
steps taken which resulted in the recovery
of the weapons.
Payne stated frankly that he found the
weapons in the place where Officer johnson
left them, and said he did not turn them
over to the proper authorities, because ne
was waiting to find out who was the right
full owner. He repudiated the idea of steal
anything in his life. He further claimed
that he showed the revolver to two officers
on the police force and asked them II they
knew of any policeman having lost such
an article. He would not have done this. he
asserted, had he had any design OF steal
ing it.
Judge Mills reviewed the evidence at
length, and after saying that the charge
of larceny had been fully made out sent
Payne to jail for sixty days.
