LEGATION Of the circumstances under
which Florence Marshall, colored, met
her death a few days ago in O'Brien's
Court, Georgetown. The girl was killed
BY pistol shot fred by William Snow
den, also coIored, who claims that the
killing was accidental. The Coroner sum-
noned a jury Of inquisition, which after
hearing testimony relative to the circun-
stances surrounding the killing of the
Marshall girl. released Snowden from
custody. Hardly had he been released,
however. when he was again taken into
custody on a charge Of murder. and ne is
being held pending the action Of the
grand jury in the matter
It is said that the killing Of the girl
was the result Of an attempt on the part
Of Snowden to disIodge a coIored WON
an named Mamie Davis. from room at
3 O'Brien's Court, which he occupied
with his brother Il is also stated that
the trouble which resulted in the death
Of the girl was commenced by the Davis
woman and Snowden's brother In this
quarrel, according to the report
the woman was getting the better
of the man when Snowden went to the
assistance of his brother.
The woman however II IS stated lock
ed the door Of the room in which she
was and would not allow Snowdcn to en-
ter. He then. it is said, went into the
street. The woman put her head out Of
the window looking down on the court
and began a TRADE Of abuse upon Snow
den. who pulled a pistol from his pocket.
and in fouTishing the weapon in the air
it was discharged The bullet, instead OF
going in the direction Of the Davis wom-
ri -sG
standing Immediately behind Snowden.
The shooting occurred about . o'clock
last Sunday night. but it was not until
nearly , o'clock Monday morning that
Snowden was arrested. Immediately aft

IN DEFENCE OF AN OLD NEGRO.
Complaints May BE Filed Against Pc
IIcemen Turner and Witt

It was said today that the friends Of
AquilIa Barton, the aged COIored man
who was arrested by Policemen Turner
and Witt Wednesday night and taken in
TO the Police Court yesterday on the
charge Of indecent conduct, have taken
up his cause and VIII carry his case to
Major Sylvester, Superintendent Of Pc
lice or higher, If necessary, in order that
the alleged wrong done Barton shall in
measure be righted- Those who seem to
know Barton best declare that the charge
against him was wholly Inconsistent with
his life, and the clubbing he received at
the hands of Policeman Turner who ad-
rnitted that he knocked the old man down
because he was afraid he would hit him
with an umbrella, is generally denounced.
The reparation for the so-calIed abuse,
BartOn's friends claim. lies in severe pun
ishment for Turner and Witt.
It appears that Barton Is a man with
record: that MS name went the rounds Of
the country in connection with the assas-
sinaticn of President Garfield. and that
ne was witness against Guiteau- II IS
said that Barton was one Of the best
known hackmen in Washington forty
years ago. and that he had as patrons
many Of the famous men Of those days,
with all of whom ne was q favorite.
On the day Of the murder of President
Garfield. Guiteau employed Barton. and
the latter drove the assassin To the Penn
syIvania depot. where The tragedy was
enacted II is said he furnished the detec-
tives and Government officers with much
information concerning Guiteau-s move
ments for some hours previous to the
shooting of the President
Barton gave an exhibition Of pathos and
grief when put upon the witness stand

scribed how he was on his knees feeling

purse that contained all OF his money
Is cents-the approach Of the policemen
and his arrest, he hardly referred TO the

A dispatch from Mexico City says: La
Patria, a liberal newspaper of this city.
warns Mexicans that they may not hope to
look to Europe for help against North
American aggression, SO much talked of by
the clerical party, but adds:
I'VE fear nothing from the United States.
That great republic plants itself on the
Monroe doctrine and that Of peace in this
hemisphere. The United States offers as a
pledge of it's sincerity the support they
gave Mexico during her war with Napoleon
the Third"
FL TEMPO, clerical organ, after waiting
several days, utters it's opinion on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message, which, it says,
is characterized by an arrogant and vain
glorious tone. Roosevelt is a politician
given to talk, whereas Mckinley worked
more than he talked. Mckinley was more
to be feared as statesman and politician.
FL Correo Espanala, an organ of the resi-
dent Spanish colony, praises Roosevelt s
message as being well written and full of
altruism. optimism and ambrosia, but for
all his fine sentiments there Is Cuba in
servitude to the United States by reason of
the Platt law embodied in her new consti-
tuition. 1t is the badge of Yankee servitude.
