CHARGE NOT SUSTAINED.
Policeman Fails to Substantiate Ac
cusatiOn Against Fireman.

Bicycle Policeman Henry Burrows of the
fifth precinct complained in the Police
Court this morning against Fireman Fred
erick Long of No. 10 engine company for
alleged disorderly conduct. The testimony
failed to substantiate the charge and the
fireman was acquitted.
The policeman was off duty last night
and he went out for stroll with a female
friend. According to his statement in court
they went out the Benning road and stopped
about 500 yards from the old toll gate.
They later went about twenty yards from
the road and sat down to enjoy the moon
light night. He said that while seated there
he discovered several men crawling to-
ward where he was sitting with his COM
panion. Long, he claimed, was several
yards in the lead, and he told Judge Scott
he called Long to account for his alleged
conduct, and the latter told him it was none
of his - business" During his CONVEX
sation with Long, he said the latter used
bad language.
In answer to Attorney Sillers' questions
the officer said he did not tell Long that he
was detailed there in the ninth precinct to
make arrests, nor did he tell Policeman
Larrick SO.
Policeman Larrick, who has charge of the
ninth precinct wagon, was called by the
defense and he fatty contradicted state
ments made by his brother officer. When
he went to get the fireman in the wagon
Burrows, he said, told him that Long had
been following women and that he Dur
rows) had been detailed there to make ar
rests In order to make arrest he took
with him man dressed in female apparel.
Officer Larrick said he was very much sur
prised at Longs arrest, for he knew him.
Burrows told Judge Scott that his com
panion was lady friend, and declined to
give her name.
Fireman Long said there was no truth in
Policeman Burrows testimony. He said he
was out with friend exercising dogs when
he was arrested near his own home. He
denied that he had done any crawling. The
defendant also denied that he used any bad
language, and repeated the conversation
that took place at the patrol wagon as Po-
liceman Larrick related it.
Another witness gave similar testimony.
He said Burrows made the remark that
he was out there with his wife to catch
men who were following women. Attorney
Silers had other witnesses, but Judge Scott
said it was not necessary to call them. The
case was dismissed without comment

ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.
The Work of Highwaymen I'm South
west Washington.

James Giles, a railroad brakeman, who
lives Oh Az street southwest near N street,
and d woman companion were roughly as
saulted and the former robbed last night
by a party of seven colored men. The af-
fair happened about II 80 o'clock near the
bridge that crosses the James Creek canal
at X street southwest. When the police
had frightened away the colored men and
rescued the woman the latter's name was
given to them as Lottie Brown and her res
idence as 1923 Kraemer street northeast.
This morning it was learned that no such
person Lottie Brown lives at the ad-
dress given. young woman of that name
does live in the neighborhood mentioned,
but she not the one involved in last
nights affair. Today she called at the
house where Giles boards. and was In
formed that she could not see him before
Sunday.
sault and robbery there had been a crowd
about the flying horses and the colored
men who held up the couple are thought
by the police to have been in that crowd
A short distance from the X street bridge
the colored men met Giles and his COM
panion and demanded money. Their de-
mand was refused, whereupon four of the
men took Giles across the bridge and rob-
bed him of s.. When he had gone through
an exciting experience he looked for his
friend Not seeing her. he concluded she
mad been dragged to the underground near
the canal bank.
Policemen Reinhardt and Ais were soon
upon the scene. and they found the woman
in the place indicated by Giles. A colored
man who was seen to run from where the
woman was found was pursued, but not
captured. 1t appeared that the four men
who had robbed Giles went away without
paying any attention to the other three and
the woman. The three had dragged the
woman from the street, the latter told the
officers. and when they attempted to as
sault her she fought then pleaded with
them, and had saved herself from further
indignity.
The police have descriptions of the col
ored men. and it is likely several arrests
will be made on suspicion tonight.
Today Detective Horne was detailed on
the case. and he went to interview the al
legged victims. There is no such address
as that given by the woman on Kraemer
street. and the detective learned that the
only Lottie Brown in that neishborhood
was at home all last evening He failed to
find James Giles.
Oficers Ais and Reinhart have ascertain
ed, they say, that the real name of the Wo-
man with Giles is Dora Linkins. better
known as Dora Scott.
