FIFTY PERSONS HURT.
Result of Wednesday Nights Rtoting
Murderer Arrested.

Murderer Arrested.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Such a furious
ebullition of race hatred as found vent in
the riotins that occurred here last night,
the outgrowth of the murder a few days
ago Of Policeman Thorpe by a negro named
Arthur Harris. who was arrested in Wash
ington to-day, has not been equaled in New
York in many years. AS a result of the
disturbance, which ragged from midnight
until 8 o'clock and burst out in a flame of
passion and violence at intervals until day
break. there were about fifty persons in
jured by pistol balls, razors or knives, rocks
and clubs. OF these one negro-Lloyd Lee
may not recover, and Policeman Kennedy
is also seriously injured. Lee is alleged
Kennedy because he was the particular
friend and associate of Thorpe, the MUIR
dered officer. Thorpe was the third white
man murderously assaulted in the vicinity
by negroes and a race prejudice had been
engendered. In less than an hour from the
time the trouble began last night the whole
of the West Side from Twenty-eighth
street to Longacre square above Forty
second street, including Eighth and Ninth
avenues. was in an uproar. Forty or more
arrests were made. David H. Carr, a negro,
charged with having had a hand in the
stabbing of Policeman Kennedy, was held
without bail to await the result of kenne-
dy's injuries. Lee, the other negro charged
with stabbing Policeman Kennedy, has not
been arraigned.
Peace was not restored in the riot district
until after 3 o'clock this morning. During
the riot it is m that 500 police were
on duty, and ambulances from every hos
pital on the West Side were kept busy.
All Of the prisoners arrested in the riot
last night, except Lee, were arraigned in
the West Side Court to-day. A majority
to keep the peace, several were discharged
and Carr was held to await the result of
the injuries of officer Kennedy. The
magistrate stated in advance that all pris-
oners before him should have q fair trial.
