RESCUED FROM THE OFFICERS.
Thomas Vest, Set Free by Friends
FIees Toward Kentucky,

CUMBERLAND, Md, Dec. 30.-Thomas
Vest, the railroad construction foreman
who fatally shot Charles Fawcett, waiter
in Scott's restaurant at Beverly, because
he did not wait on him fast enough, was
| rescued from three officers yesterday
morning. The rescue was accomplished
by fifteen of Vests friends, masked and
armed with Winchester rifles, while he
was being brought in carriage from
Beverly to Elkins for a hearing before
Justice Brandley.
The justice had ordered the prisoner to
be brought by train, but the prosecuting
attorney, 1t is stated, countermanded the
order. 1t had been announced by Vests
friends that they intended to rescue him.
When in lonely part CO the road the res
cuers appeared in front of the carriage.
Vest jumped to the ground and fell with
the constable on top of him, badly injur-
ing the latter. The officers were sur
| rounded and ordered to let Vest go. They
| complied and Vest then darted through
the woods in a westerly direction. 1t Is
said he can reach Kentucky without leav-
| ing the woods.
The prosecuting attorney and the sheriff
refused to take any action. Their terms
expire tomorrow. Their SUCCESSORS will
be asked to make determined efforts to-
ward recapturing Vest. The people are
terrorized and are begging for posse to
be raised, but can get no leader.

consideration of appeal cases coming up
from justices of the peace and cases GER
tilted to him for trisI from the circuit
branches Of the court. Besides these mat
tiers he also disposed OF considerable
criminal business. The most important
criminal case which he tried was that Of
Frank Turner, John Gray, and seven 9TH
ers, gil colored, who were indicted for
making a criminal assault on Miss Dora
Linkins, in Southwest Washington, On July
4. 1899. All the accused were found guilty
and sentenced to Imprisonment in the pen
itentiary at Moundsville, w. Va, for a
period Of twenty years, except one, who
was committed to the Reform School dur
ing his minority.
With the coming of the new year, as
has been the custom since the establish
ment of the Supreme Court Of the District,
there viii be reassignment of the justices
to the different branches of the court. This
matter will probably be considered by the
justices al meeting in general term to-
day, or perhaps not until Wednesday or
Friday next. There are innumerable ru-
mors in circulation as to what changes will
be made, from the assignments for the past
year. but no one knows with any degree
OF certainty TO which branch of the court
any one Of the justices will be assigned
.9r the coming year. 1t is. however, the
general belief that Justice Clabaugh, who
has presided in Criminal Court No since
his appointment as member of the Dis
Irict bench, will be assigned TO Circuit
Court No. /, in the event that Chief JUS
tice Bingham should desire to assume the
duties in any other branch Of the court.
In this same connection 1t may be stated
that it is believed at the City Hall that
Justice Barnard, who, since his appoint
mcnt to the bench, in October, 1899, has
presided in Equity Court No. 2, will be
assigned to Criminal Court No. / No
predictions fave been made as to the as
signments OF the other justices

that the different juries will be completed.

ACCUSED BY A GROCER.
Two Women Arrested and Charged
with False Pretences.

Lucinda Faragaro, thirty-two years old,
a native of Spain, and Kate Luciens,
twenty-one years of age, were arrested
Yesterday forenoon by Policemen Kersten
and Belts, of the Eighth precinct, on. a
warrant sworn out by Wilhelm Schmidt,
a grocer, charging them with false pre-
tences. Both were sent. to the House of
Detention.
Schmidt keeps a grocery store at the
corner OF Eighteenth and Streets north
west. The two women arrested were SER
wants in the house of Major Richmond,
customer of Schmldts. Schmidt alleges
that the two women came to his store
some time ago and asked for commuta :
tion book, by means OF which they could
get groceries at any time they desired.
He saws that they represented they were
applying for the book for Major Richmond.
Thinking their story was true, Schmidt
gave them the book, which they subse-
auently used to procure large amount
of groceries, which he supposed we're for
Major Richmond. When bill for the ar
ticles obtained by the servants was pre-
sented to Major Richmond Schmidt learned
that he had been victimized- Major Rich
mond had not authorized the servants to
get anything charged to his account.
schmidt Immediately made complaint TO
the police and the arrests followed,
