Mrs. ~ Turner, OF 1925 Fourth Street

sioners with reference to the arrest Of her
son, Fred Turner, on the night of Novem-
Der 5. She states that she has read in
The Times the various accounts of the
matter given by Major Sylvester. Lieu
tenant McCathran. and the others, and
she declares that the facts as related by
them are not true. and she requests Of
the Commissioners an investigation. At
the time of the arrest she states that she
had two children sick with typhoid, and
she says>the excitement caused her and
them much trouble and worry. She in
forms the Commissioners that the coming
of the officers to the house at an untime-
ly hour caused her daughter, one Of the
sick children. to have a nervous chill
which increased her fever very much and
served to cause virtual relapse in her
illness.
Mrs. Turner describes the action OF the
officers in her house as rough and bolster
Gus and wishes to know how Major Syl-

the officers did their duty when neither of
them was present and neither of them has
made an investigation. No one, she says.

any degree of care, she should have been

After quoting the law applicable to the
case. the Attorney states that he is OF
the opinion that the application to pay
the taxes without penalties and interest
should be refused.
Commissioner Lansing H. Beach has rec
commended to his associates that the dedi-
cation of land offered by George S. Bright
and others for alley through lots rs. and

omriends that the papers in the case be
forwarded TO the Attorney for the Dis
trict in order that he may take the neces-
sary steps to condemn the necessary por
ton of lot to acquire the land for the
proposed alley.
1t is understood that the Commissioners
will approve the Recommendation.

which, as published in The Times. she
positively contradicts. Mrs. Turner states
that the back door and gate were both
fastened and that the officers forced an
entrance into the house. contrary to their
version oftheaffair. She further says there
was no lamp burning in the kitchen. as
the officers say. She says that she and
her husband heard the officers strike the
light. She informs the Commissioners
that Edwards passed her son three times
IN the street between the time of the al
legged assault and the time of the arrest.
She thinks that the taking of her son into
: custody could have been accomplished
without the officers coming at midnight to
startle the household and to endanger the
lives of the sick children. She designates
the arrest as an outrage. She declares
that she and her children. who were gull
ty of no misconduct. could not have been
treated worse. She asks for an invesIiga-
ton that will so deeper than the word OF
the officers who committed the outrage.
The Attorney for the District has
